It's been a while since I watched it, but IIRC one of the fascinating things about it was that unlike Homer Simpson, Earl almost never rises to the occasion by the end of the episode. He's mostly saved by his wife and his incredibly bright teenage children.

The one where he does rise to the occasion because Robbie pulls a Back to the Future on him (impersonates a space alien to trick him into turning his life around) ends up having a super cynical ending

Hell, it even persists through to the end. There's a moment where it almost seems like he'll defy his boss's orders to set off the bombs . . . but then he buckles under anyways. And the cynical truth is that it probably wouldn't make for a different outcome even if he had said no

Right Saving the world was asking too much of him, and you can't blame him - he's not evil, just weak

And he wouldn't be enough to do it by himself anyway Even if he could somehow change, it's *definitely* too much to ask of *everybody*
