After the underwhelming Bubba The Bear premiere I thought that the second episode, Face in the Car Lot (Although it really did need a better title, something catchy like "President Werewolf?" or "Hail To The Wolf" would have been much better) was a vast improvement and expertly wove the humor and the horror hand in hand far better than the series first episode did.
For me the reason is the acting. I really hate to say it about old Scott Evil himself but Seth Green just isn't that good of an actor. Dave Foley and David Koechner ARE good actors and they thread the needle perfectly between satire and horror.
Although I'm SURE that the current political situation was one of the main impetuses behind this episode it ironically rises above petty ideologies to entertain fantastically! I found myself engrossed in the episode from the start! As far as the ending (Which I'll not reveal here) goes I can only say that I hope that the unresolved nature of it will allow for a sequel to this episode within what I hope will be a long running series if it can maintain this level of quality. If there can be more great episodes like this and less so-so episodes like Bubba The Bear, then I think that it will be.
