Let's get right to the results!
1. Stupid was looking back on all the memories he's shared with his dad in anticipation of Father's Day. When he reminisces over his childhood, Stupid doesn't have much to complain about. In fact, when asked about his upbringing, which beloved TV dad does Stupid compare his own father to?
Bill Cosby - 4
Ward Cleaver - 3
Archie Bunker - 1
Tim Taylor - 1
Homer Simpson - 1
Jack Arnold - 1
Mike Brady - 1
Al Bundy - 1
Carl Winslow - 1
Interesting spread. Thought the top two would account for more of the total.
2. Stupid's mom did most of the cooking growing up, but like many dads, Stupid, Sr. fancied himself quite the master of the grill. What was his go-to recipe there?
Steaks - 7
Burgers -7
I honestly don't know what to say here. Had no idea the burger/steak rivalry cut so deep here at FOFC.
3. Stupid will never forget the time his dad tried to give him "the talk." It was incredibly awkward, but he knows Stupid Sr. meant well. How old was Stupid when that happened?
13 -5
10 - 3
12 - 3
14 - 1
15 - 1
16 - 1
A nice little skirmish between the desire for round numbers and the possibility that explaining the birds and the bees to a 10-year-old will fall on deaf ears.
4. Stupid's dad has never been too big into showing emotion, so the one time Stupid saw him cry was hard to forget. What was the occasion?
his father's death/funeral - 7
his mother's death/funeral - 3
other/non-specified death/funeral - 3
child's wedding - 1
Yep, since I already had to throw question 2 out thanks to the perfect 50/50 split in responses, I wasn't gonna lump all the responses but one into 'funeral.' Anyhow, I really thought there'd be some more tears of joy responses - I've seen plenty of emotional dads at their daughter's wedding.
5. One thing Stupid definitely learned from his dad was how to be handy around the house. Stupid might have spent the most father-son bonding time helping his dad with which home improvement project?
Building a deck - 4
Painting - 3
Remodeling a room - 2
Lawncare - 2
Adding cabinets - 1
Building a fence - 1
Bulding a treehouse - 1
The oddly specific building a deck wins out.
6. This Father's Day, Stupid really wants to go the extra mile to show his dad how much he cares. How much money is Stupid going to spend on his Father's Day gift?
$100 - 11
$50 - 2
$200 - 1
Final Scores :
"When it comes to baby Stupid, you are *NOT* the father!"
