In sitcoms, the Dad is typically a loveable buffoon.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

When will 'Italian Pizza Guy' finally be retired?

yes there are a lot of italians that make and enjoy pizza

but if Apu from the Simpsons is no longer an acceptable character

should Chef Boyardee be one?

I can’t believe it’s still cropping up; First Man and Ford v Ferrari are two recent examples. It evinces such a weird, warped outlook from the filmmakers - men trying to do great things while their domestic ball-and-chains try to hold them back. It’s so fucking stupid.

And the wife is a humorless prude. I hate that combo.
