See, Hayate isn't even really fully referential humor... unless you're talking about the first anime. The draw of Hayate (s2 and manga) is more rom-com than anything else. Also, Hayate actually has comedic timing (which PPD seems to use sparingly).
Plus, if you only watched the first 3 eps. of PPD, you missed one of the best ones (though I'd have to go back and look it up to figure out which one it was).
If you aren't well versed in anime/manga, then PPD is pretty much a nightmare. There are so many references that there are sometimes 3 in a span of ten seconds. It's a busy show, but I found it overall enjoyable.
There are a couple of characters that kind of feel flat, but then again, in this type of show, the characters and their development isn't the strong point. If it did devote time to developing them, then I think the show would lose a lot of its... well unique charm, I guess.
I like a lot of the characters in PPD. They all have their roles and they each fill their roles well. There are a couple of characters that go above and beyond their contrived cut-outs, but overall, I feel the show does an adequate job of showing their sides.

I am still far from understanding your tastes.
