I'm normally against the whole "lol dad needs paper towels" advertising trend, but this post reeks of butthurt.

It dates back to at least the 1930's:

Blondie’s marriage marked the beginning of a change in her personality. From that point forward, she gradually assumed her position as the sensible head of the Bumstead household. And Dagwood, who previously had been cast in the role of straight man to Blondie’s comic antics, took over as the comic strip’s clown.
