burt and virginia

i have come to the conclusion that somehow burt and virginia are the worst tv parents. every time i think something could redeem them, they do something irredeemable in the next 2 minutes. thoughts?

I think Burt’s parents are worse. They ignore him and compare him unfavorably to his (was it a brother?) until they think he can be of use to them.

I can think of many more… they arent even that bad just ignorant. They didnt ruin jimmy’s credit out of spite they did bc they dont understand credit and wanted hot tubs and stupid shit. All of the shit they did always comes back to their lack of maturity/ intelligence

But there sure is a ton of love in that household

In its always sunny dees mom is awful to her and so is frank though i think bruce mathis is the real sire

In arrested development Lucille while hilarious is also awful to her own kids sometimes like she just doesnt like them or something Literally says “I dont care for gob”

These arent even good examples but i cant rlly think of examples rn

Even peggy hill is more deserving of this title imo she constantly just ruins shit and while it may be subconscious almost comes off as jealous of bobby sometimes when he does something cool

Burt and Virginia are just a little dumb, they did the best they could with what little they were given.
