When Lincoln is very selfish in episodes like In Tents Debate or Out on the Limo, then I say to myself "this isn't my Lincoln". I don't like when he's an unsympathetic comedy protagonist. This isn't my type. Even when Lincoln acts selfish, it's easy to feel sorry for him, when he gets disproportionate karma. Perfect example was Ruthless People, when he with his dad and five sisters suffered an unexpected series of misfortunes.

In Toads and Tiaras he wanted Dairyland so much, he went overboard with disguising Lana, but he didn't plan to change her forever, he just wanted her to act during the contest Lana could have refused his offer, but she wanted Dairyland too. Also he realized he went too far and Lana gave him a hug for this. In Making the Grade I can't call him selfish, but desperate, what is selfish in wanting to be free from unfair torment? Lisa in this episode was a jerk taking all to seriously and not taking responsibility for her refusing to help. I skip this episode during reruns. In Funny Business Lincoln kept stealing Luan's spotlight, but she could have just fired him like she fired other assisstants and despite not cooperating with Luan the business was blooming. The episode ended in good way, because Lincoln realized that he's not as good as he thought. Some say that he was making fun from Luan's hobby, but same can be said about her in Sleuth or Consequences. Lincoln forced his sisters to go with him to mall in Mall of Duty, but I can't feel wrong about it, because his sisters did the same in One of the Boys.

Sometimes episodes try to make viewers feel sorry for the wrong guys, example is No Laughing Matter, where Luan just refused to accept she was a jerk and didn't try to self-improvement. In Change of Heart viewer was supposed to feel sorry for Lori, but she only wanted gifts from Clyde and she was a jerk to her siblings, who don't give her gifts. It was like she's nice only, when it's convinient to her. In Driving Miss Hazy I didn't believe Lori's claimings that she wanted her family to need her, because she enjoyed her siblings doing her chores too much. In Crying Dame I felt more sorry for the siblings than for Lily, because the fox was making all crazy and the parents didn't do anything to make Lily feel better. In Pipe dreams I could root for the parents in first half, when they just wanted private bathroom, but when they kept getting overboard with security I stopped rooting for them.
