Is this show a social commentary on the inherent misery of the working class?

...

Oh yeah, dude lazing around at work all day every day.

Such misery.

...

she was too processed and trap-lookin for my tastes

Why even labor tbh lads

The wife mostly just refuses to work, and there's always jokes about the kids starving, and Kelly whoring herself out, with some episodes changing weather they live in a shitty neighborhood or not(not the only thing that changes, just look when Marcy's character flipflops from a cold Republican banker to a PC tree-hugging feminazi).

Nice Digits!!

Yes. Back in the day, they'd show how reality is, through comedy, so you can project without having to deal with it. That's the point of comedy since Aristophanes. He was showing the Athenians "Our Democracy is shit and you'd even have the worst of men to lead you, if they promised what you want to hear" and they'd just laugh it off.

Nowadays we have South Park, Bojack Horseman and so on, but do we have anything like it? No. Cause now, if they showed these stuff.. well.. I don't know how much people would accept it before getting "offended" cause it dares to show them "reality".

Also, the point is:
He has no point in his life. He's married and has kids instead of having his dream come true, the worst part being, he just might had it. He's wife is hot and so on, but he's bored of her… And basically it's a critic of "the American dream". He has a stable job, a house in the suburbs, a pretty wife, 2 children, a dog and all for what? To come back at 4 and watch TV?

And that's capitalism.

It's amazing how well this show predicted the future even if that was not its intent.

Even the SJW liberal things like feminism (Marcy) and Al being accosted by fat women at his workplace. I remember Al was also a part of some MRA group which was ridiculed constantly.

Ye, it was the episode where they appeard on live TV with mask and so on, with Marcy's boyfriend, and in the end they lost and back to status quo.
