I'm probably gonna be preaching to the choir, but my pick is Rita.

While they are both flawed, what I notice is that most of the time when Rita is being a poor parent, she's doing it alongside Lynn Sr. Rita's individual mistakes tend to be less harmful and harder to latch onto because of this.

Lynn Sr.'s flaws (and his embracing of the Bumbling Dad tropes to boot) are more frustrating because they're more pronounced. FirstDrellSpectre was on point in that irritation emanates in obvious and not so obvious ways.

Similar to Rita, he is a dirty coward in that he allows his family to get hurt because he doesn't want to stand up to his daughter. He is such a stickler that he refuses to bring Lincoln to his work just because it says "Daughter" even though he hasn't done anything to make it up to him (Rita had to jump in for that). He is inefficient in that he would rather trade in a new car (rather than let it get seasoned) just so he can a broken one back (and then refuses to help any of his children push the hunk of junk back home).

It doesn't help that his voice actor has a history for playing bumbling dads, but I want more than else for him to stop being so annoying. If you're not gonna help Lincoln feel more included, then at least stop your quirkiness from inconveniencing everyone else.

Sorry. Moralist on the loose....I guess
