Why is the dad always a clown while the mom's quiet/smart.

Women are insecure, and men don't care enough.

Yeah haha

One odd example I have of this not being the case: American Dad.

Stan's a badass CIA agent, with a hot wife who does right by him. Refreshing.

Sadly, even Rick and Morty follow the 'defeated dad' set up. It's hilarious though.. And to be fair their both fuck ups.
