I don’t know why, but I just felt like discussing the trope found in comedy shows as to me, it’s sometimes fascinating when that trope kicks in a show as a normal character can go from somewhat wacky to very eccentric with the trope itself.

Man I recall like it was yesterday when Peter Griffin in Family Guy was a bumbling father that was kind of a klutz, but he used to mean well for his family in the original classic era of the show, until the show got revived, and he became far more of a jerk after said revival came out.
