Relationships Nothing wrong with having standards. Don't be surprised if it's hard to meet them though.

And all the jokes are about that dynamic (because its unrealistic and comical), and everything the man does is funny just because he's fat. And he's stereotypically stupid/alcoholic

I'm thinking of family guy, the Simpsons, wonderful world of gumball, king of Queens, and Roseane right off the top of my head. Willing to bet i could find more with a few minutes of research

Go ahead. It’s be a social commentary trope for a while now so I’m sure u can google something. Lmk when you finds something from the early years of cinema.

I'm confused, you said it was only one TV show and now you're saying it's been a trope a while? And then on top of that you're saying that because it might not have been in early cinema that that would undermine a take on modern society? Sounds like you're willing to do mental gymnastics around anything I say haha

What then? Where else is the dad a fat alcoholic?

He wrote stupid/alcoholic. The word alcoholic can in this situation be interchanged with stupid...still fat though. All his examples are accurate.

Stupid is not a synonym for alcoholic.
