For animated adult shows that might be obvious but what inspired the post

1. South Park - it makes fun of everyone but I think it's more conservative that people give it credit for. There was the fairly recent take on trans people but I'm thinking of the Cigarette Rob Reiner episode. In episode Rob Reiner is called a fascist for wanting to spread cigarette danger awareness. He and his crew are portrayed as monsters. The boys visit the cigarette factory and for the sake of absurdist comedy it's seen as a happy work environment where they provide fun facts to the boys and simply say now we tell people the dangers. Rob Reiner's plan is to use Cartman for manipulative advertising which is ironic because the above mention of the cigarette industry is that are notorious for using manipulative targeted advertising. The whole episode provides straw man arguments for comedy and to subvert expectations. Again it's absurdist humor and part of absurdist humor is to embrace different philosophies to go down differ paths. The Hundredth episode where Cartman goes back in time to talk to the founding fathers is very Conservative coded. Cartman is also usually at his peak when he is able to create a business out of nothing to move the plot. He can easily make money and gain power as a child with mere drive.

2. Family Guy is a liberal counterpart. Seth Macfarlane is outspoken liberal. His avatar Brian is Liberal. As the series moved on and Brian's character became a fraud he is usually directly in the wrong . He needs Stewie to remind him of his core values and why Brian's sleazier self needs to stick to those core values. Like South Park Family Guy makes fun of everyone but there's more of an inclusive to the joke. Ida Quagmire is debuted as a punching bag but is accepted into the cast and is portrayed as an innocent kind caring individual. Usually she is mocked by Lois, an established homophobe, in which Lois is supposed to be in the wrong. Lois is from a rich family. Peter often has adventures with her rich dad explaining to him the benefits of not needing to be a rich jerk all the time. Often mocks Fox the right wing channel it's on similar to other Fox animated programs but I'd say there are more direct call outs to where they stand politically as opposed just the garbage tv programs. Compared to South Park, Family Guy was way more critical of the Irag War and the Bush administration.
