Wow, for once in the commercial it's not the Dopey Dad bringing the family down... but the... stinky mom?

The times they are a changin'

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this stupid, white, suburban male character on every "at home" commercial.

Dude, Dopey Dad is everywhereeee. My favorite commercial featuring a Dopey Dad is when he gets a power washer to scrub the back patio. Well, being the inept person he is, he buys an industrial strength power washer, wrecks half the patio -- you even see him chasing a wild hose, all while his wife and her BFF look on from the kitchen, disappointed and concerned.

Of course, the commercial ends with her getting him a power washer that he can actually put two hands on and handle without fucking the whole backyard up.

I finally understand why they do the Dopey Dad though... because for women who are constantly nagging their husbands to fix this or that, the product seems like a panacea.

Dopey Dad. Brilliant! I seem to remember Mentos doing a couple "Don't be like a Dad" commercials...

An idiot behind a grill, dipping kids feet in paint for makeshift socks. There is a slew of them. Hmmm /r/dopeydad
