    When Stan is up for a promotion, he asks his family to be on their best behavior at the CIA picnic. Unfortunately, Hayley ends up getting into a fight with Stan's boss, Bullock, which makes Stan think his chances for the promotion are ruined. But when Stan goes to Bullock's house to apologize for Hayley's behavior, he's shocked to discover Bullock's new woman. In my opinion, the first episode on the show (and season 1) itself to gets a perfect score. I liked every single moments of it. Season 1 did got better after Deacon Stan, Jesus Man although there were a couple more weaker episodes. The story line was very funny. Of course, Bullock made this episode really funny. His role in this episode was very hilarious such as when was on the Smith's house singing. The other plot where Steve and Roger was calling other countries' was very funny as well. I liked the fight scene with Stan and Bullock near the end. Also, I liked the montage with Stan training Jeff. I had more funny parts for this episode. Overall 10/10.moreless

    Avery and Haley get in a fight and Stan is mad at Haley for what she said to his boss. He goes over to Bullock's house where he sees Haley, and he learns they are going out. Stan is furious, and so he tries to get Jeff to get back together with his daughter.

    What I liked: the break-up scene between Jeff and Haley, Stan trying to teach Jeff how to be more assertive (This is an apple, burying him, etc), and I really liked the outcome of the episode. It was not the best episode of the series or anything but it was really entertaining, and as such, my final grade is a B+.moreless

    In this episode, Stan is up for a promotion at his job, but he has to survive a CIA carnvial. Unfortunately, Hayley screws it up by being liberal to Mr. Bullock, Stan's boss. Stan then tell him to go apologize, but when he comes the next morning, he's discovered that they're dating! Also, Steve and Roger crank call other nations with Dick Chaney's Blackberry. This episode was hilarious all around, the prank calls were hilarious, especially when they *67'd by Argentina. The main plot was also hilarious with scenes like Stan's boss getting dumped right when he gives Stan his promotion. The ending with everyone getting beat up and then it turns out to be faked was a little odd, but I liked how Mr. Bullock thought Jeff was playing along, when he obviously wasn't. A classic episode for sure. 10/10 A+moreless

    This episode has so many funny parts along with 3 great stortylines. The hillarious storylines are the Stan,Bullock,and Haley storyline,the storyline were Steve and Roger mess around with people with Dick Chenney's blackberry,and the Klaus commentary storyline. Some hillarious parts are when Stan finds a mistake in his own daydream and when Klaus commentates. Also it was hillarious when Roger calls a country's leader and says that he (prentending to be another country) he like likes him and then you se the country he was prank calling move real close to the country Roger was pretending to be and he gives the guy who Roger prank called a weird look and it was hillarious when Bullock was about to announce Stan's promotion and Haley broke up with him and he started crying on live tv. Overall an episode with in my top 10.moreless
