Cheaper By the Dozen/YMMV

• Acceptable Lifestyle Targets - Averted. An unusual example of a large family not portrayed as religiously fanatical, selfish, poor white trash, unable to control the instinct to breed, or just plain stupid.
• Designated Villain: Nora's boyfriend. He isn't fond of children, and appears to be quite awkward around them. This of course makes him a bad person, and we're supposed to find it funny when the kids play pranks on him that could seriously hurt him (setting him on fire, making him trip face first into a paddling pool, etc). Even the parents don't seem to treat it as seriously as they should, it's no wonder he's not fond of the kids if they act like little brats to him.
  • He isn't treated as a bad guy for that by the parents of his fiance, they both are mad at the kids for it. She only leaves him when he refuses to go look for Mark, who at that point in the film had ran away, just to watch his own commerical. Even with the way the kids treated him that's still wrong not to go look for your girlfreinds younger brother.
• The Woobie: Mark of the first film.
