5 of the Absolute Worst Fathers of All Time

We are counting down six Dads that take the prize for being the biggest sacks of shit. Hey, we could do the best dad’s but then we’d be explaining how Danny Tanner was the epitome of the ultimate father figure by keeping his children safe from the molester, uncle Joey, who lived in the basement.

5. Wayne Szalinski (Rick Moranis) – Honey I Shrunk the Kids

Inventor Wayne Szalinski is so neglectful of his children, that each movie is centered around his epic fuck ups that should have cost his kids their lives.

4. John Herod (Gene Hackman) – The Quick and the Dead

In the western film The Quick and the Dead, Herod, the Mayor who runs the town on fear, participates in a single elimination gunfight tournament. When the tournament stakes are raised, declaring that each gunfight is to the death, Herod ends up against his own son. Herod does what any man would do in that situation. He puts a hole in his boy, killing him, to move on in the tournament. The saddest part is that his son just wanted to earn his father’s respect. Instead he earned an injection of hot lead.

3. Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) – There Will Be Blood

For the entire movie, we see that Plainview is a real jackass. But towards the end of the film, he confronts his adopted son, revealing that he is in fact adopted. This is one of the most inspirational speeches by a true class act.
