I don't presume Chris has something so Improperly Evolved as a lifted truck?
And you don't expect "monsters" to be up against transphobia anyway:

Good grief, we can probably sum up Bob's thoughts on The Addams Family/The Munsters with, some dumbass professor in Film Studies class that Bob attended, tried to overanalyze the Blue Curtains, as many English/Literature/Film professors are wont to do (I certainly ran into it alot in high school and college level English/Lit/Writing courses). Bob probably only thinks this initially because of what he learned in his college Film Studies courses, accepted it uncritically like the potato for a brain he is, and then never questions it. And today, his angels and senpais both analyze shit to death and beyond, pretending meanings there that never existed are the actual intended message, and so forth.I get it that it's Bob's career to overthink Pop Culture, but it's really absurd to think The Munsters served any kind of commentary on immigrants or culture clashes.
The joke is they're a family made up of parodied Universal Horror Monster. They're only somewhat a Jewish family because Grandpa Munster was played by an ethnically Jewish man the Late Al Lewis. There's no Romanian or Astro-Hungarian references made concerning the Munsters.
It's like saying The Addams Family served as a commentary with the Addams representating bourgeois Americans and they're incompatible with the middle/working class. No it's a funny family who are comically macabre.
He's too dense to realize that in the case of both the Addams Family and the Munsters, THE CURTAINS WERE FUCKING BLUE and that's all it means.
