"Krod Mandoon" and the sleazy Biclops video clip

We've had a fair bit of discussion here on the site about Comedy Central's Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. We gave the show props overall for being fairly funny, but seriously marked it down for the cliche, sex-obsessed character of Bruce (Marques Ray).
After watching the first couple of episodes, a fair number of readers had a different take on Krod and the character of Bruce finding him to be funny, non-offensive and treated much like every other character. Those opinions led to a spirited discussion in the comments which basically amounted to "We'll agree to disagree." Or as it's known in my house, "You're still wrong but I'm tired of arguing about it."
Last week's preview for Krod Mandoon included a creature called a Biclops that made it seem that this Cyclops would be bisexual. As you can tell from this "hot tub" scene from tonight's episode, that is definitely the case.

So the show has now given us two queer characters both so far defined by their overt sexuality that is played for laughs and creeps straight guys out. Nice that.
And pity the poor bisexual male. Not counting Roger the Alien on American Dad, I count one other significant bisexual character currently on U.S. television — Andrew from Sit Down Shut Up, the sex-obsessed drama teacher who hides in locker room lockers and dreams of a half man/half woman lover. Because that's what bisexuality is all about after all.
Somehow I just can't find any of this very funny.
