Bad Qualities

 * 1) He is a very bland character whose bad marriage with Beth is typically the focus of the episode he plays a major role in.
 * 2) He is a self-pitying and self-centered egoist who is often so insecure about his intelligence that he'll even threaten a planet's ecosystem just to pretend he's right (as was the case of how he endangered the dwarf planet Pluto's ecosystem just so the Plutonians would agree with him on how Pluto is still a planet).
 * 3) He's especially insecure about his relationship with his wife Beth, as he gets immediately jealous whenever Beth spends time with someone other than himself.
 * 4) He's also a huge coward sometimes as he seems more interested in saving himself than saving his family.
 * 5) His inability to relax and calm down has put himself and the people close to him in trouble, like the episode where he couldn't take two strokes off his golf game while getting help from the Meeseeks, causing the Meeseeks to run after him and attempt to murder him.
 * 6) He became a bigger wimp than his own son, Morty.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He has been improving and has had a vast number of badass moments in the series.
 * 2) He is right about how much of a bad and dangerous person Rick is, and he's right to disagree with him being around the family.
 * 3) He is sympathetic whenever he's not trying to exploit his sympathetic side.
 * 4) He does care very deeply about his family, as he still means well for them.
 * 5) Chris Parnell is doing a decent job voicing him.
