Character description
Dad is characterized as an inverted variation of a father archetype seen in 1950s TV sitcoms; an upright parent who teaches goodness within others, yet appears to be incredibly bumbling for the most part. Additionally, he also comes across as childish and somewhat manipulative, as seen in several episodes like "Better off Wet," where he intentionally pulls pranks at his family for his own amusement; although, he never looks down at Dexter when he does the same prank at him. Despite this, he also appears to be caring to his kids at times, but mostly favors Dee Dee.
Interestingly, both Mom and Dad have occasionally shown to have a similar dynamic to their kids, Dexter and Dee Dee; Dad appears to be more innocent and dim-witted, while his wife is mature and intelligent.
His interests include bowling, golf, and is uniquely obsessed with his wife's muffins, which she expertly creates.
