On TV white, middle-aged husbands are losers and doofuses.

If you judge my kind (white, husband with family, middle-aged) by television, which I highly suggest that you do, you'll find that we're a bunch of losers.

We make a mess of the simplest things. We burn ourselves barbecuing, we fall off ladders, make stupid comments, eat dog food by mistake. We're fooled by our children, laughed at by our wives. We're klutzy and stupid and unfit for anything that requires 2 or more brain cells.

It wasn't always like this. Back when we were single, we were cool. Single guys on TV have hordes of women chasing them. They drink beer, party, drive fast cars, make fun of other weaker males, and did I mention they have hordes of hot women chasing them?

Then when we got married something changed. Something radical. I don't know what it was. We lost our coolness. Maybe our wives changed us? Our kids?

Someone once said that white middle aged men are portrayed as idiots because in real life they rule the world. They have all the best jobs, all the money, and basically all the power. So it's okay to make fun of them on TV.
