Seriously, they seem tailor made to be as despicable as possible. Kind of mean-spirited. It would've helped if some of them had sympathetic or altruistic qualities, but no. They're just scumbags.

Actually, I didn't think the parents were truly bad, except Bender's. They were parents as seen through the eyes/perspectives of their children. Not many teens see their parents as human beings - and human beings are flawed whether they have kids or not.
