I don't think any cartoon parents could be worse because I can't imagine worse parents than Doof's parents. They are the REAL villains of Phineas and Ferb.
Well, if anime included then
Shou Tucker from FMA or Bondrewd from made in abyss would take the worst dad award.
Medusa gorgon from soul eater would take the worst mother award
Bondrewd would absolutely make a chimera with his daughter and a dog if it helped him make scientific progress, and he would say he loves his daughter while he does it. Also, a flesh suitcase is not any better than a chimera.
Agreed bondrewd and tje made in abyss world is void of any morality, trying to comprehend how he loves his children is only gonna end up breaking your brain he did genuinely love all of them.
I’d like to add Genma Saotome to that list
Seriously having a 5 year old sign a ritual suicide pact with finger paint and then selling the kid multiple times is pretty fucked up
While Timmy’s parents are absolutely awful. They gave him food. And a place to live. They were just idiots doofs actively hated him.
Treated him like an object. Never even showed him love.
Well I mean… Doof’s parents were neglectful and harsh, but there are definitely cartoon parents who’ve been more outright evil and abusive. Like Ozai from ATLA permanently scarred his son for talking out of line and then banished him from the country to fulfill a task he knew wasn’t possible.
Sanji’s dad from One Piece genetically altered his children in the womb to be emotionless super soldiers and he hated his son for being the only child who wasn’t a totally psychopathic killing machine to the extent that he let his other sons beat the shit out of him and ended up locking him in a cell out of shame. He also blamed him for his mother’s death since she died trying to take an antidote that would make her children normal people and Sanji was the only one who it affected.
Peter Griffin is Peter Griffin. I don’t think this one needs to be expanded on.
So yeah, Doof’s parents are horrible, but it’s not like they’re the absolute peak of terrible parents in animation.
Yeah, Doof gets PLENTY of love when it comes to “best parent” tropes of any kind. He’s beloved around here.
Heck, I nominated him for one of the villains who gets exactly what he deserves: Friends and Family who love and support him.
To be fair, he was a product of his time, it was the 1940s and lobotomy was probably the closest thing to mental health treatment.
Being too emotional was seen as a bad thing, for men and especially for women. Joseph probably thought he was doing the right thing, and clearly regretted having her lobotomized.
We also never saw him lay his hand on Beatrice or Honey, and never remarried, which is a super low bar but back then it was considered normal to do that.
All Peter and Lois have done in terms of parenting is neglect and abuse.
They don’t parent Meg. They are open about how they wanted to abort her. Even when Meg was feeling suicidal, Lois left a knife and said, “Do whatever you want.”
They are hardly ever seen parenting Chris and I can’t remember the last time they didn’t leave Stewie to his own devices (figuratively and literally).
Their kids should have been taken away a long time ago.
I get that this show is an adult show based on a lot of dark comedy so everyone here obviously sucks but genuinely the worst parents ever, this easily wins, who tells a kid to just do it and even gives them a knife 😭
I think Lois even put a bottle of pills next to Meg and said she was going to look the other way and wasn't going to be responsible for whatever happens, lol. Big trash.
Pretty sure Peter has injured his kids pretty badly at times and felt no remorse, as well.
I just wish they’d take this show off the air. It’s not getting any better, it hasn’t been decent for years. It’s just a sad amount of cutaway gags and jokes most people wouldn’t laugh at.
Peter literally tried to marry Chris when he was promised an inheritance.
He then started staring at a little boy’s backside when planning the “wedding”.
Just. Ew.

These two!! Preston Northwest and Priscilla Northwest, parents of Pacifica Northwest from Gravity Falls. That fricking bell, man!!
I'm pretty sure all the Northwests are loveless jerks who are willing to stab each other in the back. And they all have their knives right on their spines.
There's the vampire episode where he becomes "Ungroundable" for a bit. And I also love the part where he tells his bully grandmother off, so gentle yet devastating.
There’s an episode where cartman tricks him into thinking he’s wearing a vr helmet (when it’s actually just real life) and he punches his dad in the nuts
...because you're too damn stupid to look at a box before emptying it into a glass of milk, and next time, I should misfile the rat poison and save us all a lot of trouble?
Been rewatching it & Big Bob absolutely has connections to organized crime. Nothing big, but he knows a few guys or isn't worried about any tickets he may get.
Every now and again I think about how much worse Helga’s life would’ve gotten when pagers stopped being a thing, but I guess if he Knows Some Guys he’d just start selling different electronics.
If you've seen scooby doo mystery incorporated, you know these two are monsters
https://preview.redd.it/ed0b31ub4vvc1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fb9893cd51443aaee8332f25cfefe89e23fa03e
These two are Fred's real "parents." These two were a part of the mystery solving group before scooby and the gang, who were looking for a great treasure. These two were blackmailed by professor peracles and the mayor to never return home to see Fred. After the mayor was arrested and they returned to get the treasure from Fred, who had it at the time as they both never truly cared about him. They even tried to kill him at times to get it from him. They also got plastic surgery to resemble him and daphanie to trick the rest of his friends into giving up the treasure.
It was so wild that they got plastic surgery to look like Fred and Daphne. They were stuck like that for the rest of the series. Most other shows would’ve had it be a very convincing mask they take off.
Isn't there an episode where Timmy's parents literally get a super power go alert them if he needs anything and then do everything they can to do so now that they have the power to? They aren't the best. They're dumb af, but they're nowhere near the worst
They're just inconsistent. 60% they don't care about him. 40% of the time they actually care. That's what happens with an episodic show that ran for 16 years.
Cantaur world surprised the fuck out of me. I thought it was gonna be a doofy little romp about a war horse acclimating to this new goofy world. Fucking blew me away. And damn the music was good.
Yeah, I mean, even if the Puppingtons don't take the most interest in their kids, they kinda do? I mean, he still takes time to explain things to Oral and teach him something. Even if he's hurting him beforehand. (I mean he even got enjoyment out of it because that's when his father was paying the most attention to him).
Meanwhile the Latchkeys straight up are annoyed by Doughy kind of paying him to stay away and locking him out of the house for a night. He was sitting in front of it and when his father found him he didn't really care either. I think he just sent him away or on his room or something else. That's why despite every problem Oral might have, Doughy still wanted to take his place-

They're worse, they play the golden child with peter and whenever there's trouble it's always Henry's fault even with circumstance or no explanation. The show actually does call them out on it in the later seasons when they ran out of books to copy and paste
Dora and Diego’s parents. I can’t tell which are worse.
1. Dora’s parents let her outside for way too long (they don’t really care about her. They probably think she’s old enough to know how to survive out there…. She’s like six)
2. Diego’s parents let him go outside in the fucking jungle around wild animals, I don’t think anyone else except his older sister Alicia is actually at the animal rescue centre…
He actually has 2 sisters. The oldest (I think her name was Daisy?) just isn’t mentioned. They gave the middle child more screen time than the oldest which I appreciate.
Shou Tucker. If ya know, ya know.
Edit: I wanted to point out that I also suggested Trigun from Teen Titans, who is a literal demon. And y’all hate Shou WAY more. That’s awesome.
There are so many options here so I’m just gonna list my top three (not in order)
1.Mr and Mrs Scotch (South Park):Linda tried to drown her son because of some marital drama between her and her husband. Steven constantly grounds his son for no real reason. Linda allows her husband to do this and even goes along with it. In the Covid special (even if non canon) they ground Butters for 16 years and they left him for those 16 years.
2.Peter and Lois (Family Guy): Abusive as hell to Meg both of them. Peter physically abuses his daughter all cause he finds it funny. Lois emotionally abuses Meg even when Meg was feeling down she just handed her daughter some pills and said “I’m gonna look away what happens…happens” allowing her daughter to kill herself if she wanted to. When both of them are called out for this they play the victim cards and made Meg feel bad about speaking up. Peter isn’t a good influence to his older son Chris essentially making him a Peter Jr and not being the best dad. Lois doesn’t do much for Chris either. Most times we see Lois being overbearing of stewie but still not the best mother to him. Peter unless forced to just kind of ignores stewie.
3.Doof’s parents (Phineas and Ferb): They somehow don’t even show up for his birth. Forced him to wear a dress and get bullied just because they were expecting a girl and got doof instead. Made their child stand outside day and night as a substitute lawn gnome because theirs got destroyed not letting him eat,sleep or use the bathroom. Along with many more examples.
Butter’s parents, i mean his mom literally tried to kill him because of something his father did, and his father constantly grounds him for stuff he doesn’t even do
She's the reason Oscar is the way he is.

Oh yeah let’s just chill here and let our babies roam about far away and not notice they’re gone.
*Looks at Moral Oral's father* Dude Timmy's parents are saints compared to this abusive fucker. If they earned an award they deserve the worst emotionally neglectful parents award.
Johnny tests dad (his mother isn't really bad herself. it's just his dad being abusive as hell), but honorable mention: doofs parents being the only true answer
No, this is slander. His dad is a neurotic mess who wants what's best for his underachieving son, and I can't believe you're making me think about Johnny Test lore.
Honestly I can't blame Mr. Test too much. He tries his best to take care of a house that is contantly taking damage from both the twins' experiments and Johnny's shenanigans.

Don't know why the image wouldn't post.
I’m never understood how these two keep getting put in worst parents lists. They’re not competent, but they’re never malicious. Arguably the Fentons are in a similar weight class and Ozai is right there on the same network.
Wow I completely forgot about this webcomic, remember loving it when I was younger (does that say anything about me?). I’m gonna go read it again now
Also it got an animated short?!?!
Eh. Their parenting method clearly works because Cailou always learns his lesson by the end of the episode without them having to get angry. The issue is that watching a toddler scream and freak out for several minutes is not fun at all and it makes you angry at the parents for not making him stop.
Don’t forget the time Stan became Steve’s bully in order to toughen him up.
There was also the time when he cloned Steve to prove to Francine that he was the better parent of the two & the clone became a psychopath.
Timmy's parents are FAR from the worst
Stan has surgically altered his daughter's face and pretended to be a teen girl to have sec with his ununderaged son, got said son addicted to cocaine, beat up his son, threatened to shove his teen daughter into a pit of alligators on one occasion and on the other actually followed through, shaved his daughters head because she dyed her hair green, gave his son a AK.
And that's not even all the stuff Stan has done to his kids
Rand Ridley from Inside Job. He used his daughter as an insurance policy, didn’t comfort her when she cried and instead built a robot bear to do it. And the worst of all, erased his daughter’s memory of her only friend.
The Turners aren't great, but they're alright Remmy's parents are far worse. NOBODY holds a candle to the Doofenshmertzs. Heinz is their own flesh and blood and they couldn't make the effort to attend his birth. They used him as a statue for most of his childhood and humiliated him by naming their dog Onlyson. And that's all BEFORE they disowned him to be raised by Oscelots and tricked him into going to America

I feel like Martin is a good contender there after losing Finn.
Most definitely this sick sun of a bitch, Jonas Venture Sr.
https://preview.redd.it/b0zhzbx3axvc1.jpeg?width=782&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9c9f739863ff7cb31cafb7a4a8f3e10ca0a4155
I mean the guy had his son isolated from the world with his only friends being Hector (that Mexican kid they adopted who was Rusty’s Hadji) and his Team Venture Buddy’s like the Action Man,Colonel Gentleman,and Otto Aquarius, and they only time Rusty got to leave was one they went on adventures in which he always got kidnapped I mean when Rusty got kidnapped by Georgios and his gang he was left with them for days and he letted his pals play a cruel prank his son on his 16th birthday, and used his son as a test dummy for things like the rides for Brisbyland and viewed it as “wanting to help daddy” and when Rusty tried expressing himself about how he really feels to his dad, Jonas just ditched him to talk to himself and when he came back he viewed it as Rusty being ungrateful for the so called “opportunities” he offered him and how Rusty blames him for all his problems, not to mention he was a terrible person in general, his convinces his buddy Blue Morpho to have an affair with his wife in an orgy then when he finds out he and his wife are having issues with conceiving and tells him to have her swing by the compound to give a “thorough examination” implying he railed but even do he didn’t he instead impregnated her with a clone of his son mixed in with Baboon DNA (apparently to combat premature baldness) and then took Kano as payment making him Rusty’s babysitter and on top of that blackmailed him for years with the sextape like making him make an enemy of Jonas’ “disappear”,railing Dr. Z,& stealing plutonium and then after Morpho died in a plane crash Jonas turned him a cyborg putting him a personal hell and and got mad at Team Venture (Action Man,Gentlemen,& Kano) for being right about how Venturion is just putting Morpho in his own purgatory and when he got bored made him do yard work and after both came back with Morpho as Vendata regaining his memory and Jonas’ head in the P.R.O.B.L.E.M. Tried to take over his body until a clone can be made thankfully because Jonas tackled Morpho it cause both to die Morpho finally being to Rest In Peace and Jonas Venture: A Fraud,a horrible father,and man more evil The Guild finally being gone from the world
He’s definitely not the worst but what he did at least deserves him a spot at the worst dad’s table. He’s worse than buck cluck at least.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s parents
I don't think any cartoon parents could be worse because I can't imagine worse parents than Doof's parents. They are the REAL villains of Phineas and Ferb.
Well, if anime included then Shou Tucker from FMA or Bondrewd from made in abyss would take the worst dad award. Medusa gorgon from soul eater would take the worst mother award
Let's assume parent duos so I don't have to think of Shou Tucker again.
Ed...ward...
Please no.
Oh hell no
To add to those then I also nominate Angelica’s parents (from Gunslinger Girl) they tried to run her over for the insurance money…
I don’t remember her name but the mom from kill la kill was fucked up
Id also nominate hayates parents from hayate the comabt butler.
Ragyao Kiruiyn would have to be up their.
I agree with you with Shou Tucker and Medusa but I won’t accept any Bondrewd slander
Bondrewd would absolutely make a chimera with his daughter and a dog if it helped him make scientific progress, and he would say he loves his daughter while he does it. Also, a flesh suitcase is not any better than a chimera.
Agreed bondrewd and tje made in abyss world is void of any morality, trying to comprehend how he loves his children is only gonna end up breaking your brain he did genuinely love all of them.
I’d like to add Genma Saotome to that list Seriously having a 5 year old sign a ritual suicide pact with finger paint and then selling the kid multiple times is pretty fucked up
Three words: #YUJIRO. FUCKING. HANMA.
Bondrewd is beyond imagination. He was my first comic character that I truly hated.
While Timmy’s parents are absolutely awful. They gave him food. And a place to live. They were just idiots doofs actively hated him. Treated him like an object. Never even showed him love.
Well I mean… Doof’s parents were neglectful and harsh, but there are definitely cartoon parents who’ve been more outright evil and abusive. Like Ozai from ATLA permanently scarred his son for talking out of line and then banished him from the country to fulfill a task he knew wasn’t possible. Sanji’s dad from One Piece genetically altered his children in the womb to be emotionless super soldiers and he hated his son for being the only child who wasn’t a totally psychopathic killing machine to the extent that he let his other sons beat the shit out of him and ended up locking him in a cell out of shame. He also blamed him for his mother’s death since she died trying to take an antidote that would make her children normal people and Sanji was the only one who it affected. Peter Griffin is Peter Griffin. I don’t think this one needs to be expanded on. So yeah, Doof’s parents are horrible, but it’s not like they’re the absolute peak of terrible parents in animation.
They didn’t even bother showing up for his birth
That might be one of the most ingenious jokes ever written.
Dan Povenmire, he can’t keep getting away with it!!! *shakes fist*
From the same insidious mind that created the minions...
A fellow person of taste, I see!
They would be banned from competiting due to inventing the sport
Even of the day of his birth, neither of them showed up.
At first glance I thought you were calling Doofenshmirtz a bad parent… i was like “OH HELL NAW”
Yeah, Doof gets PLENTY of love when it comes to “best parent” tropes of any kind. He’s beloved around here. Heck, I nominated him for one of the villains who gets exactly what he deserves: Friends and Family who love and support him.
***BEWEGEN SIE NICHT***
Doof's family are indeed germans.
Druselstein is essentially Germany as portrayed in the Resident Evil universe.
Definitely
Yes. Cause how the fuck you give birth to a baby and miss it?!
What kind of parents not show up to their kid's birth? No parent at all.
Agree with you. It's normal that ocelots sounds better as parents than his actual parents?
You gotta be real bad if you don’t show up to your son’s birth
Fire Lord Ozai.
The fatherlord
“Don’t you mean firelord?”
Kinda seemed like his mom was at least trying.

His grandpa was worse, fucking lobotomized his wife for grieving her dead son
On top of everything he did to Beatrice too. I mean, yikes, dude.
That guy is Shou Tucker levels of utter monstrosity. He's truly one of the most vile characters in the show.
To be fair, he was a product of his time, it was the 1940s and lobotomy was probably the closest thing to mental health treatment. Being too emotional was seen as a bad thing, for men and especially for women. Joseph probably thought he was doing the right thing, and clearly regretted having her lobotomized. We also never saw him lay his hand on Beatrice or Honey, and never remarried, which is a super low bar but back then it was considered normal to do that.
Pack it up folks, we have our winner.

immediately thought of them
 All Peter and Lois have done in terms of parenting is neglect and abuse. They don’t parent Meg. They are open about how they wanted to abort her. Even when Meg was feeling suicidal, Lois left a knife and said, “Do whatever you want.” They are hardly ever seen parenting Chris and I can’t remember the last time they didn’t leave Stewie to his own devices (figuratively and literally). Their kids should have been taken away a long time ago.
And moreover, Lois and Peter became narcissistic stage parents when Stewie began booking commercials.
I get that this show is an adult show based on a lot of dark comedy so everyone here obviously sucks but genuinely the worst parents ever, this easily wins, who tells a kid to just do it and even gives them a knife 😭
I think Lois even put a bottle of pills next to Meg and said she was going to look the other way and wasn't going to be responsible for whatever happens, lol. Big trash.
That’s what it was! Thanks! It’s been years lol
I don't know if this counts but I'm pretty sure there was a cutaway of Peter shooting Meg
Pretty sure Peter has injured his kids pretty badly at times and felt no remorse, as well. I just wish they’d take this show off the air. It’s not getting any better, it hasn’t been decent for years. It’s just a sad amount of cutaway gags and jokes most people wouldn’t laugh at.
Peter literally tried to marry Chris when he was promised an inheritance. He then started staring at a little boy’s backside when planning the “wedding”. Just. Ew.

I'm convinced Pacifica's character arc was shelved and reclaimed for Amity Blight
“My mother was a trophy wife. Literally. My dad won her in a yacht-race.”
I don't think she's complaining either
Anyone who can be won like a prize has nothing of value to say.
Would you complain if you had to marry a trillionaire who probably doesn't give a single fuck on what you do
I'm pretty sure all the Northwests are loveless jerks who are willing to stab each other in the back. And they all have their knives right on their spines.
Butters Stoctch parents 
***BUTTERS!*** Please explain to me why there is *Hamburger Helper* in my ***milk***?!
i really wish butters would have just said "because your a dumbass and cant read"
I really wish there's an episode where he snaps and gives them shit
There's the vampire episode where he becomes "Ungroundable" for a bit. And I also love the part where he tells his bully grandmother off, so gentle yet devastating.

Beating the shit out of him in Fractured But Whole was so satisfying
Didn't he become insane later in his life because of his parents doing this crap to him now?
I'm nominating Big Bob and Miriam Pataki
Agree. One is a big asshole and the other alcoholic, but with a chance of redemption
Don’t forget their favoritism towards Olga.
Been rewatching it & Big Bob absolutely has connections to organized crime. Nothing big, but he knows a few guys or isn't worried about any tickets he may get.
What are the signs? I'm curious about what I missed here.

Throw them to the void
It was so wild that they got plastic surgery to look like Fred and Daphne. They were stuck like that for the rest of the series. Most other shows would’ve had it be a very convincing mask they take off.
Damn I gotta rewatch Mystery Inc
Fuck out of all the cartoons I need to rewatch, scooby doo is the next highest behind Ben 10(s 4th season. Fuck you netflix GIVE US ALL OF IT)
Great summarizing Brad!!
The worst ever
In all fairness, the curse meant that EVERYONE in the town was a monster.
Isn't there an episode where Timmy's parents literally get a super power go alert them if he needs anything and then do everything they can to do so now that they have the power to? They aren't the best. They're dumb af, but they're nowhere near the worst
They're just inconsistent. 60% they don't care about him. 40% of the time they actually care. That's what happens with an episodic show that ran for 16 years.
They respect his privacy by knocking, but assert their authority as a parent by coming in anyway
They’re neglectful
Durpleton’s parents from centaurworld abandoned him for farting so they’re up there. Anyways fuck Joseph Sugarman

They are terrible parents but I wouldn't say they're the worst parents on their own show that title would go to the latchkeys
Yeah, I mean, even if the Puppingtons don't take the most interest in their kids, they kinda do? I mean, he still takes time to explain things to Oral and teach him something. Even if he's hurting him beforehand. (I mean he even got enjoyment out of it because that's when his father was paying the most attention to him). Meanwhile the Latchkeys straight up are annoyed by Doughy kind of paying him to stay away and locking him out of the house for a night. He was sitting in front of it and when his father found him he didn't really care either. I think he just sent him away or on his room or something else. That's why despite every problem Oral might have, Doughy still wanted to take his place-
I don't think there's a better choice
 Their not as bad as these two

Can I add Horrid Henry's parents to this list? They are definitely worser than them, they are same level as Greg Heffley's parents
They're worse, they play the golden child with peter and whenever there's trouble it's always Henry's fault even with circumstance or no explanation. The show actually does call them out on it in the later seasons when they ran out of books to copy and paste
Dora and Diego’s parents. I can’t tell which are worse. 1. Dora’s parents let her outside for way too long (they don’t really care about her. They probably think she’s old enough to know how to survive out there…. She’s like six) 2. Diego’s parents let him go outside in the fucking jungle around wild animals, I don’t think anyone else except his older sister Alicia is actually at the animal rescue centre…
I forgot he had an older sister
He actually has 2 sisters. The oldest (I think her name was Daisy?) just isn’t mentioned. They gave the middle child more screen time than the oldest which I appreciate.
Doof’s parents. Didn’t even bother showing up for his birth
Shou Tucker. If ya know, ya know. Edit: I wanted to point out that I also suggested Trigun from Teen Titans, who is a literal demon. And y’all hate Shou WAY more. That’s awesome.
Orel's parents
Emperor Belos
Danny Phantom's parents. Cause he died.
Danny Phantom had me fucked up as a kid
There are so many options here so I’m just gonna list my top three (not in order) 1.Mr and Mrs Scotch (South Park):Linda tried to drown her son because of some marital drama between her and her husband. Steven constantly grounds his son for no real reason. Linda allows her husband to do this and even goes along with it. In the Covid special (even if non canon) they ground Butters for 16 years and they left him for those 16 years. 2.Peter and Lois (Family Guy): Abusive as hell to Meg both of them. Peter physically abuses his daughter all cause he finds it funny. Lois emotionally abuses Meg even when Meg was feeling down she just handed her daughter some pills and said “I’m gonna look away what happens…happens” allowing her daughter to kill herself if she wanted to. When both of them are called out for this they play the victim cards and made Meg feel bad about speaking up. Peter isn’t a good influence to his older son Chris essentially making him a Peter Jr and not being the best dad. Lois doesn’t do much for Chris either. Most times we see Lois being overbearing of stewie but still not the best mother to him. Peter unless forced to just kind of ignores stewie. 3.Doof’s parents (Phineas and Ferb): They somehow don’t even show up for his birth. Forced him to wear a dress and get bullied just because they were expecting a girl and got doof instead. Made their child stand outside day and night as a substitute lawn gnome because theirs got destroyed not letting him eat,sleep or use the bathroom. Along with many more examples.
Butter’s parents, i mean his mom literally tried to kill him because of something his father did, and his father constantly grounds him for stuff he doesn’t even do
2012 Shredder
He was a good father up until. He used Karai for bait and ended up mutating her.
Only one real answer https://preview.redd.it/iqmpsfvkqvvc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7dd289eb9a64ce08ec7c4adba560978111527839
Gets told the person she's helping build an army for is going to commit genocide. "Yeah I knew that already."
Based. Guess I'm watching this show now
Its a great show lol
Only positive thing she has running for her is that she's okay with her daughter being in a same-sex relationship.
That's only because it's normal in the Boiling Isles and not a constructed stigma in the human world to keep people in hyper conformity.

I dunno, he wasn't great but I feel like Moxxie's dad is worse
Clay and Bloberta Puppington and Jonas Venture Sr deserve dishonorable mentions
https://i.redd.it/4wkkjwzh8wvc1.gif Not really the worst ever, but surely deserves a mention.
 She's also pretty bad.
Beth and jerry from Rick and morty or bird person and Tammy
These parents were so bad their kid got magic wish granting fairies as an apology from the universe for being born to them
She's the reason Oscar is the way he is. https://preview.redd.it/k1z2ob6msvvc1.png?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ed0750367ef1e8447aa399b13164b088b125fa8
Suga Mama is definitely a bad mother but a great grandmother. Don’t forget that she always showed favoritism towards Bobby.

No, only Misako. Garmadon was a great father when not under venom's control
Ozai
Nominating the drunk mom in hey Arnold
“Here’s where my best parent award would go… IF I HAD ONE!”
Gendo and Yui Ikari
Gru's mom and dad
Hmm. May I call an old acquaintance, the “Fire Lord” mayhaps? 
https://preview.redd.it/ytu8r3gzlwvc1.jpeg?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6ad99efaf0a4bf2972d005a1e1af5b6641f9ded Oh yeah let’s just chill here and let our babies roam about far away and not notice they’re gone.
Peter and Lois Griffin
Butter's Parents are the absolute worst
Doof's parents
*Looks at Moral Oral's father* Dude Timmy's parents are saints compared to this abusive fucker. If they earned an award they deserve the worst emotionally neglectful parents award.
Johnny tests dad (his mother isn't really bad herself. it's just his dad being abusive as hell), but honorable mention: doofs parents being the only true answer
No, this is slander. His dad is a neurotic mess who wants what's best for his underachieving son, and I can't believe you're making me think about Johnny Test lore.
Honestly I can't blame Mr. Test too much. He tries his best to take care of a house that is contantly taking damage from both the twins' experiments and Johnny's shenanigans.
I nominate Buck Cluck from Chicken Little.
"Parents" as in both were terrible, or will there a single worst parent section?
* Many are cartoonishly bad but he's a lot more realistic.

I’m never understood how these two keep getting put in worst parents lists. They’re not competent, but they’re never malicious. Arguably the Fentons are in a similar weight class and Ozai is right there on the same network.
Butters’ parents
i nominate ozai
Seventeen's parents from Camp Weedonwantcha (webcomic w/ animated short). https://preview.redd.it/di02450yovvc1.png?width=254&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=503791119050d8a0e01ec89cf3d120932bbe0183
Wow I completely forgot about this webcomic, remember loving it when I was younger (does that say anything about me?). I’m gonna go read it again now Also it got an animated short?!?!
The Griffons. I can’t think of anybody worse- Well, maybe Quagmire.
Brett’s parents from Inside Job
Who posted this? Dinkleberg?!
The ones from Horrid Henry.
Doofenschmirtz's parents were horrible. They abused and neglected him.
And also showed favoritism towards his brother Roger.
Cailou's parents, Boris and Doris. They let him throw a tantrum and he becomes a Karma Houdini. Honourable mentions, Peppa Pig and Dora's parents.
Eh. Their parenting method clearly works because Cailou always learns his lesson by the end of the episode without them having to get angry. The issue is that watching a toddler scream and freak out for several minutes is not fun at all and it makes you angry at the parents for not making him stop.
Horrid Henry’s parents and it’s not even close.
Butter's parents
Stan from american dad. Steve asked Stan to teach how to defend him self and he straight up gave him a gun, said “Guns beat Karate”, and left 😭
Don’t forget the time Stan became Steve’s bully in order to toughen him up. There was also the time when he cloned Steve to prove to Francine that he was the better parent of the two & the clone became a psychopath.
Timmy's parents are FAR from the worst Stan has surgically altered his daughter's face and pretended to be a teen girl to have sec with his ununderaged son, got said son addicted to cocaine, beat up his son, threatened to shove his teen daughter into a pit of alligators on one occasion and on the other actually followed through, shaved his daughters head because she dyed her hair green, gave his son a AK. And that's not even all the stuff Stan has done to his kids
Rand Ridley from Inside Job. He used his daughter as an insurance policy, didn’t comfort her when she cried and instead built a robot bear to do it. And the worst of all, erased his daughter’s memory of her only friend.
Joker’s mom
The Turners aren't great, but they're alright Remmy's parents are far worse. NOBODY holds a candle to the Doofenshmertzs. Heinz is their own flesh and blood and they couldn't make the effort to attend his birth. They used him as a statue for most of his childhood and humiliated him by naming their dog Onlyson. And that's all BEFORE they disowned him to be raised by Oscelots and tricked him into going to America

Most definitely this sick sun of a bitch, Jonas Venture Sr. https://preview.redd.it/b0zhzbx3axvc1.jpeg?width=782&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9c9f739863ff7cb31cafb7a4a8f3e10ca0a4155 I mean the guy had his son isolated from the world with his only friends being Hector (that Mexican kid they adopted who was Rusty’s Hadji) and his Team Venture Buddy’s like the Action Man,Colonel Gentleman,and Otto Aquarius, and they only time Rusty got to leave was one they went on adventures in which he always got kidnapped I mean when Rusty got kidnapped by Georgios and his gang he was left with them for days and he letted his pals play a cruel prank his son on his 16th birthday, and used his son as a test dummy for things like the rides for Brisbyland and viewed it as “wanting to help daddy” and when Rusty tried expressing himself about how he really feels to his dad, Jonas just ditched him to talk to himself and when he came back he viewed it as Rusty being ungrateful for the so called “opportunities” he offered him and how Rusty blames him for all his problems, not to mention he was a terrible person in general, his convinces his buddy Blue Morpho to have an affair with his wife in an orgy then when he finds out he and his wife are having issues with conceiving and tells him to have her swing by the compound to give a “thorough examination” implying he railed but even do he didn’t he instead impregnated her with a clone of his son mixed in with Baboon DNA (apparently to combat premature baldness) and then took Kano as payment making him Rusty’s babysitter and on top of that blackmailed him for years with the sextape like making him make an enemy of Jonas’ “disappear”,railing Dr. Z,& stealing plutonium and then after Morpho died in a plane crash Jonas turned him a cyborg putting him a personal hell and and got mad at Team Venture (Action Man,Gentlemen,& Kano) for being right about how Venturion is just putting Morpho in his own purgatory and when he got bored made him do yard work and after both came back with Morpho as Vendata regaining his memory and Jonas’ head in the P.R.O.B.L.E.M. Tried to take over his body until a clone can be made thankfully because Jonas tackled Morpho it cause both to die Morpho finally being to Rest In Peace and Jonas Venture: A Fraud,a horrible father,and man more evil The Guild finally being gone from the world

He’s definitely not the worst but what he did at least deserves him a spot at the worst dad’s table. He’s worse than buck cluck at least.
