Almost every film made by Hollywood.

The late film critic, Gene Siskel, complained on one episode of Siskel & Ebert about how fathers are regularly depicted as incompetent and/or uncaring.

This started in television maybe in the 70s, perhaps in some cases earlier, the boob of a dad, the schmuck. Even when he is a doctor, like on The Cosby Show, in his home life he has to be lead by the nose by his wife.

I've heard that Dangerfield was scared to play this role, he was a decent guy according to everything I've heard and was very uncomfortable with the part

your comment got me to researchn, Dangerfield said that character deserved to Die. Said Stone called him & told him he had a part for him, just told him it was "The Father from Hell"

We can be glad he did he did it, he acted the hell out of that creepy role but yes, Rodney was very concerned about his image as a funnyman in taking it

I don't blame him
He seemed like a sweetheart to other stand up comics and a good dude
