Dexter and Dee Dee's Dad (seasons 3 and 4)

Dad is one of the five main characters in Dexter's Laboratory. He is Dexter and Dee Dee's blond-haired father. Sadly, he was flanderized when seasons 3 and 4 came out.

Why He's A Incompetent Father

 * 1) He went from a bumbling, yet loving father to a 'Butt-Monkey'-type character.
 * 2) He is much more clueless and dumber than he already was. He was even dumber in episodes like "A Third Dad Cartoon", “Tee Party” and “Father Knows Least”.
 * 3) He can be a bully and pull childish pranks on his family for his own enjoyment.
 * 4) Because the show’s animation techniques were changed, his design took a significant step-down. His head is larger and lankier than before, and his bottom half seems to be unfinished.
 * 5) Almost every episode that has a spotlight on him just represents his aforementioned flanderization.
 * 6) His jokes are trashy and mean-spirited.
 * 7) In the episode “Dad Man Walking”, his high-pitched snoring will get on your last nerve.
 * 8) In the episode "Dexter's Wacky Races" he removed the gas tank in his car by mistake.
 * 9) In the episode "A Dad Cartoon" he tried to clean his car nice and shiny, but ending up forcing breaking his car on a freak accident by mistake.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He still loves his family.
 * 2) He occasionally has his old personality.
 * 3) He was much better in season 1-2.
 * 4) He's still a good person.
 * 5) He does have funny moments.
 * 6) Jeff Bennett still does a fine (if not perfect) job voicing him.
 * 7) While his design did take a step-down, it still looks pretty decent.
