Fan Casting Dumbass Dad(Bumbling Dad)

Role added by ananymouse on September 13, 2022

Make Suggestion

Description of Dumbass Dad (Bumbling Dad):

Born out of the Sitcom Dysfunctional Family, he's a deliberate subversion of the Standard '50s Father. Now so ubiquitous the older trope is nearly forgotten. Although he's clever at times, he's not usually allowed to be smart. He has no idea that Shortcuts Make Long Delays. He's lazy, gluttonous and has miscellaneous other glaring vices. His children may at best love him, but they often don't respect him. However, he is sometimes still a sympathetic character; the source of his charm is either his complete love and loyalty to his family, or just him being stupid in worse or more flanderized example. Even if the main way he shows it is by sometimes fixing problems he caused himself.
