[Hated Trope] Idiot Dad/Competent Mother.
Richard Watterson (Amazing World of Gumball)
Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
Harold (Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy)
Ted Wheeler (Stranger Things) albeit he was more oblivious than "idiotic"
Peter Griffin (Family Guy)
Jack Fenton (Danny Phantom)
Jonathan Long (American Dragon Jake Long) again more oblivious than idiotic, but still an honorable mention.
Hugh Neutron (Jimmy Neutron)
I truly, wholeheartedly believe that one reason for all the misandry and sexism towards men these days is in part to MSM more often than not portraying fathers as incompetent, idiotic, lazy, dim-witted, "dorky" and borderline impaired.
