I feel like the fanbase for that show goes rabid for any of the really obvious “cApItaLisM bAd” dystopian episodes, which are probably my least favourite just because they’re never particularly creative. As you say, they’ll start with an obvious point and never develop it any further. It’s kinda like one of those satirical news sites where the headline is 99% of the joke and the rest of the article is just filler than nobody bothers to read.
(Still a good show overall though, I appreciate that they’ve retained some variety over the years despite the quirky/light hearted episodes typically receiving a worse reception).
