Bob from "Bob's Burgers" deserves the number two spot as he is a dedicated and hardworking father who supports his family. He is not as perfect as Bandit but it is part of the charm of his already quirky family.
The Belcher kids remain their humor despite struggling financially. His three children look up to him despite them trying to act indifferent, especially Louise. His deadpan humor and calm demeanor are a grounding force for his family.
3. Stan Smith

Stan Smith from "American Dad!" places in the middle of the ranking as he is often classified as a "not good but not bad" kind of father. Compared to Bob and Bandit, Stan has a different approach that could either make or break his character.
As a CIA agent, he often approaches his family with intensity. He also shows authoritarian tendencies. Despite being stern, fans know that he is well capable of protecting his family from harm.
4. Homer Simpson

Homer from "The Simpsons" is a widely popular character. Throughout the series, he is often portrayed as someone lazy. He also struggles to make good decisions either for himself or for his family.
He is a flawed father and a husband to his family. Fans are used to his antics but are aware that he is no match for being the "Best Father." Regardless, Homer is often relatable as an imperfect dad.
5. Peter Griffin

Peter from "Family Guy" would have the most hater as a dad. He is seen as an irresponsible person who lives outrageously. Peter always finds himself in strange situations that he brings upon himself.
Regular watchers of the show can easily point out how he often mistreats Meg and Brian. Regardless, a few episodes could earn him a good point for being a father.
