Why He Rocks

 * 3) He acts as the straight man to his more eccentric family and tries his best to keep them together.
 * 4) Despite his massive ego, he cares for the well being of those around him.
 * 5) His tendency to break the fourth wall is rather entertaining, even when his narrating is at its least reliable.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) As the series went on, he becomes more egotistical, self-centered and cynical, though this is understandable, given that he is going through puberty.
 * 2) Like his brothers, he sometimes lacks common sense and makes his share of dumb decisions in spite of his intelligence.
 * 3) He sometimes blames his family for anything wrong with his life when it is actually his fault to begin with, thanks to his ego preventing him from realizing his faults.
