Of these animated sitcom bosses, who would you like as your supervisor?

Mr. Burns, evil aside, he does a good musical number.

I think I'd get along with Mr. Burns OK.

Tough call...either Bullock or Strickland.

I voted for Weed, as he comes across as the least assholish. He seems to be a friendly, laid back gay man who in fact died while sharing a dinner with Peter and family.

I voted for Mr. Strickland despite him being a perv. He " generally " does what's best for his company.

Buck Strickland. He's sleazy and somewhat corrupt, but he manages to run a fairly stable business and he generally seems to treat his employees well.

Can Otto from Malcolm in the Middle be an option?

I only know two of the choices: burns and strickland.

burns is evil.

Strickland is just your run of the mill slightly flawed boss.

So I went with strickland.

I don't really watch Family Guy or their spin-offs, so I don't know what the bosses are really like.
I could never work for Mr. Burns, not so much because he's a creepy evil old man, but the thought of just being near a nuclear power plant gives me the creeps. You're just one "Homer Simpson" away from the next Chernobyl and I'm terrified of radiation poisoning. I don't think Mr. Slate from the Flinstones isn't so so bad, he yells at Fred a lot but most of the time that's because Fred is being lazy or doing something dumb. He didn't fire Fred when he once flooded the gravel pit because he had to support Wilma and Pebbles. But yeah, the nicest, sweetest boss I've ever seen on TV was Otto in Malcom in the Middle.

The only one I know is Mr. Burns, and I definitely wouldn't want him as a boss.

Mr. Strickland.

I grew up in a town full of his type. I know what motivates them and how to stay out of trouble with them.

Besides, I like cooking with propane and propane accessories.
