Because everybody need one, just in case you missed it, has a pretty catchy tune to it.

Thought the episode was lame; probably the worst of the season.
Seth McFarlane is quickly becoming Trey and Matt. What Trey and Matt are to Libertarians Seth is to Liberals.
Why can’t they just leave the political BS out and make FUNNY episodes? That’s what I like about Futurama- other than the episode with Zoidberg eating the flag none of them were overtly political and even that was was pretty farcical.

8 Canât Miss, Weed-Centric Television Episodes
Our favorite shows tackle every theme imaginableâdeath, love, joy, anxiety, humor, pretty much anythingâdepending on what youâre watching. But thereâs one theme weâre particularly fond of, and weâve rounded up some episodes that focus just on that: weed.
We intentionally left off shows that use pot as a main plot device (Weeds) or shows that feature it so much itâs hard to pinpoint one episode (That 70âs Show). Light one up and enjoy the following episodes on your favorite streaming service.
1 â Family Guy, 420
In 420, Brian and Stewie begin a campaign to legalize weed after Brian is busted for drug possession. The campaign finds the support of Quahog, leading to the famous âBag of Weedâ song. As they say, âOh, you donât need meth and you donât need speed; because everything is better with a bag of weed.â For his part in the campaign, Brian was awarded the High Times Stoner of the Year in 2009, the first animated character to do so.
2 â King of the Hill, High Anxiety
High Anxiety found Hank laying off the propane and temporarily smoking the ganja, which lands him in a whole lot of trouble. The episode largely centers around Hankâs reluctance to admit to his family that heâs been smoking, which leads to Hankâs implication in a murder case. He finally admits it and the murder is solved, and because Hank would punish Bobby for his drug use, Bobby is allowed to punish Hankâby banning him from mowing the yard.
Donât catch King of the Hill on any streaming serviceâitâs currently not available.
3 â South Park, Medicinal Fried Chicken
When South Park loses its only KFC to a medical marijuana dispensary (really, you only need a Popeyeâs), Cartman turns to the black market and becomes the Scarface of fried chicken. The men of South Park, meanwhile, begin giving themselves testicular cancer solely to take advantage of the new medical marijuana phenomenon. Are large, oversized testicles that you can bounce around on worth a joint? Well⌠Probably.
4 â The Office, Drug Testing
Dwight finds a half-smoked joint in the parking lot and uses the occasionâand his position as volunteer sheriff deputyâto find the weed-smoking culprit. Michael, being Michael, freaks out that a cigarette he smoked once will cause him to fail the drug tests being passed out, and he pressures Dwight for a clean sampleâbut not before holding an anti-drug meeting for the whole office showing that he knows nothing about drugs. Jim sums up the episode in one quote: âSo, yesterday, Dwight found half a joint in the parking lotâwhich is unfortunate because, as it turns out, Dwight finding drugs is more dangerous than most people using drugs.â
5 â Parks and Recreation, The Stakeout
Leslie Knope is probably the most law-abiding citizen around, so you can bet she didnât take it lightly when a *gasp* marijuana plant was found in one of Pawneeâs community gardens. Leslie then goes on a quest to find the perpetrator, with the suspects ranging from Andy to Tom. Sadly, we never found out who was using the community garden for such nefarious needs.
6 â Itâs Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Mac Day
While this episode is less explicitly about weed than the rest on this list, we just couldnât leave off our favorite cousin, Country Mac. Country Mac, unlike regular Mac, fully embraces his gayness, as well as fully embraces weed. It makes Country Mac quite philosophicalâwhen sharing a joint at the planetarium, he offers the following treatise on God: âSure, bad things do happen. But what about sunsets, French kisses and the smell of rain? Thatâs why I believe in God; not because of the things He takes away from us, but because of the things He gives to us.â
Catch Itâs Always Sunny In Philadelphia on Netflix.
7 â The Simpsons, Weekend at Burnsieâs
In 2002, The Simpsons were tackling a very controversial issue with Weekend at Burnsieâs. Medical marijuana was still a pipe dream for many states, and the episodeâs heavy featuring of it led to huge concerns at Fox about backlash. You never actually see Homer smoke weed, and the writers aimed to show both the positive and negative sides of marijuana. Itâs safe to say the writers werenât using it for inspiration, though: staff writer Max Pross said on the Simpsons Complete Thirteenth Season DVD commentary that âitâs one of the most sober writing staffs Iâve ever encountered.â
8 â Broad City, Pu$$y Weed
Weâve all been thereâyour friend has maintained the weed hookup for so long that you donât actually have your own connection, which isnât a problem, until it suddenly is. Pu$$y Weed finds Abbi in that exact situation, and she finds being an adult/finding her own drug connections is a lot harder than you think (or, more likely, just as hard as you think). Broad City captures much more of the marijuana world than just in this one episode, though. According to The Cannabist: âThe girlsâ marijuana use isnât a one-off catalyst or a springboard for lesson-learningâor some sort of metaphor for an internal struggle theyâre going through; itâs a part of the fabric of the show, part of what makes these characters so strangely lovable and compelling.â [Editorâs Note: We got to hang out with Abbi and Ilana a few years ago, and it was awesome!]
