History Main / TwerpSweating

When a teenage girl has a date, the date always comes over to pick her up, and because it takes women forever to get ready, he ends up spending some quality time in the living room with her BoyfriendBlockingDad. Depending who the audience is sympathetic towards, we either watch a domineering tyrant taking this opportunity to brutally intimidate the crap out of the poor kid, or we see a loving and indomitable guardian instill some much-needed restraint into a [[TeensAreMonsters disgusting]] [[HormoneAddledTeenager teenage]] [[AllMenArePerverts male]] -- a vile creature he remembers only too well from his own teenage years.

** And when Tia tells Bug that Buck is "all talk", Buck produces the hatchet from the trunk of his car! Later, when the kid does turn out to be a slimeball who's only interested in getting it on and takes some liberties with Buck's niece, Buck gets to make good on the spirit of his threats (if not the letter)... by practicing his golf. And using the kid as a target.

* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': One {{Omake}} in the epilogue has [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Kal-El]] (who, [[spoiler:[[ForWantOfANail even if he died as a baby when his ship crash-landed in Germany's Black Forest]]]] is still [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka Langley Soryu's]] biological father) meeting Shinji Ikari (Asuka's boyfriend) in the kid's dreams and telling Shinji that he better treat Asuka right while cradling a shotgun. Shinji takes a second [[LampshadeHanging to ask Kal-El that]], if he has the same powers as Asuka, why the heck does he has a shotgun? Kal-El's response is to shrug and say that "it just felt right".

Topics of discussion may include Dad's [[WallOfWeapons gun collection]], combat experience or prison time, or perhaps the mysterious, unfortunate fates of the daughter's former suitors. The date will become emphatically aware of the daughter's curfew, as well as the fact that he's dating [[DaddysGirl Daddy's Little Girl]], and that [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer if he ever does anything to hurt her]], [[PapaWolf he will live only long enough to regret it.]]

* ''WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad'': [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs15.html "So okay, Romeo. You think you're so great? Captain of the basketball force? You lay one finger on my daughter, I gut you like sheep."]] Unlike most examples, however, he actually follows through. Under a minute after giving the threat, no less.

* The subject of Jens Lekman's "A Postcard to Nina", except the tension is because he doesn't want to reveal that he's TheBeard.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}''

** Then played with further in the episode "Punked", when Castle does it by accident. He doesn't realize Alexis's [[GenderBlenderName friend Ashley is a boy]], and walks in waving a very large antique revolver. [[note]] It's related to his current case.[[/note]] The boy is, understandably, rather disconcerted.

--> '''Danny''': "Uh, hi...you must be Paulina's dad."
--> '''Paulina's Dad": If you upset her, we're going to have a ''violent'' talk."

--> "If you disappoint my daughter, we're going to have a ''violent'' talk."

--> "If you disappoint my daughter,
we're going to have a ''violent'' talk."

* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': While older than most examples of this trope, Rocko was subjected to this once when he went on a date with a cute rabbit girl and met her father. While seemingly friendly when his daughter is present, the moment Mr. Rabbit is alone with Rocko he morphs into a hulking monster with several sharp claws that tells the wallaby in no uncertain terms what will happen to Rocko if he touches the daughter. Naturally, the show being what it is and Rocko being a [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]], [[AllWomenAreLustful the daughter turns out to be much more amorous]] than Rocko and almost immediately begins throwing herself at Rocko when they get in his car... and Mr. Rabbit is apparently a ninja who can sneak into cars unnoticed.

--> "If you upset her, we're going to have a very long, ''violent'' talk."

* Discussed in ''Literature/GentlemanJoleAndTheRedQueen'': Gen. Fyodor Haines complains that even being a base commander doesn't give him enough credibility with boys interested in his 15-year-old daughter.

* Creator/DaveBarry claims he wouldn't even bother with the sweating part- any boys that got through the minefield in the front yard would find a ballistic Dave passing through the screen door to strangle them. This became HilariousInHindsight when he did have a daughter years later.

* ''Series/{{Deputy}}'': Hollister is very protective about his daughter Maggie, an attitude her mom and grandma note is common among fathers. Though polite, after meeting her boyfriend he browbeats the kid a bit while making clear he'll never tolerate any mistreatment of her.

Still cleaning this gun''

* ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. In Season One's "The Coach's Daughter", Diane notes that her father was ''very'' prone to this.

* One of the absolute best examples is in ''Film/BadBoysII'' where Marcus and Mike threaten the hell out of Marcus' daughter's date Reggie. ClusterFBomb and NWordPrivileges ahoy. [[BlackComedyRape Mike threatening the poor boy with anal sex]]. Mike then pulls a ''gun'' on him. Reggie looks like he's about to cry by the time Marcus' daughter comes to the door. It must be seen to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APhw7rju-Co appreciated.]] Even better, [[EnforcedMethodActing the poor boy playing him had no idea what he was in for]]. The fear is quite genuine.

-->'''Father''': Hey, IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer, just remember - 'One shot, one kill'.
-->'''Brother''': Yeah, and don't bother running! You'd just die tired.

--> '''Guys:''' ''Her mother opens the door, I'm shaking inside…''
--> '''Girls:''' ''He's here! It's time! The hour's arrived!''
--> '''Guys:''' ''Don't know why her father's staring me down!''
--> '''Girls:''' ''Where's my purse? Lip gloss? Now I'm really freaking out!''
