Amazingly Embarrassing Parents in Webcomics.


  • 21st Century Fox: Jack is staggering into the kitchen when he discovers that not only his parents but Jenny's parents as well as a crowd of relatives have arrived here.
  • Bar'd has Caek's parents reminiscing about the one time she had an octopus girlfriend. To the man she recently tied the knot with. In the middle of their wedding reception.
  • In Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures, Kria Soulstealer is quite possibly the most embarrassing parent ever. Highlights include:
  • In Everyday Heroes, Steve Mighty and Lee Free Sr. are discussing classic rock artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Grateful Dead... then Mr. Mighty starts talking about his favorite bands.
  • Evil, Inc.: Lightning Lady's mother visits, unilaterally sends a cleaning service to her house, objects to her supervillain outfit, and tries to fix her up with Dr. Muskiday. She resorts to pretending to be in a relationship.
  • Fire Emblem Heroes: A Day in the Life: Chapter 59 has Leif charging out to the front lines while Quan and Ethlyn give him support, much to Leif's embarrassment. The Summoner likens the situation to parents watching their child go off on their first day of school, while Finn is moved to tears at the sight.
  • Winston's mother in Freefall is a transhumanist whose reaction to her son dating an uplifted wolf is scientific enthusiasm. In addition to asking embarrassing questions, she also strips off in the hope that Florence will too so she can see how she's made.
  • Da-Jeong's father in The Friendly Winter is a well-meaning but immature Manchild. He also treats and dresses her like a little kid when she's nineteen, though that has to do with her looking like a seven-year-old.
  • Housepets! has Mrs Kravitz, mother of Larry "Todd" Kravitz, a human who was transoformed into a red panda and reluctantly joined Team Forced Transformation, although this is very much presented as his problem. In his first appearance, he thinks he's "asserting dominance" when he's just making everyone think he's an asshole. And in his mind, the image he thinks he's projecting is utterly ruined when his mom follows him into the meeting, says how nice it is that he's made some new friends, and reminds him she baked red-panda-shaped cookies for him.
  • Girly: Cloudcuckoolander Winter's parents manage to embarrass even her. "ANYONE would be embarrassed by parents who go out in broad daylight to smack each other with bats while wearing penguin suits!"
  • The queen of this in Girls Next Door is Jareth's mother Jadis. Highlights include: Routinely calling him a "waste of genes". Telling the effects of cold air on guys in Painted-On Pants (his favorite clothing) in front of his friends. Writing Christmas cards to him in nothing but insults and innuendos. Forcing his unwilling love interest to participate in their family events. And getting together with the guy he loathes most.
    • And this is a Mega Crossover 'verse that has two Ax-Crazy murderers with family issues. Todd and Nathan, who both showed their embarrassing parent side in Roommates (on their first meeting they swapped stories and baby pictures). Also let's not forget Morgan who took pictures of her son and his boyfriend kissing in the name of fanservice in Superintendent.
  • Lore Olympus: Eros is frequently embarrassed by both of his parents, especially when they're all under the same roof and he has to put up with Ares and Aphrodite's kinky sexual shenanigans on top of their general immaturity.
  • Magical Mom: Mrs. Pailin does her best to be presentable and avoid this trope for Sara's sake, but when she meets Iris after so long, she can't resist attempting to jump in and hug her. Then Iris pushes her into turning into Magical Luvli and further embarrass her son.
  • Ménage à 3: Takeru hasn't said much about his daughter Yuki's childhood (yet), but his first reaction to Gary being introduced to him as Yuki's new boyfriend was to start talking marriage and babies in faintly creepy terms. And Yuki would doubtless be embarrassed by his porn manga work if she didn't simply hate it.
  • Misfile:
    • Ash's dad is a gynecologist who treats several of her friends — and will happily talk shop over the dinner table when said friends have come over. Taken to a whole new level because he has a terrible memory for faces, but never forgets a vagina.
    • Meanwhile, Ash's mom Marie is a former lingerie model who has appeared in her fair share of racy catalogs. Ash notes that trying on bras would be awkward enough even if there wasn't a large poster of her topless mother hanging in the fitting room. She's also prone to embarrassing questions.
  • Questionable Content:
  • In Rascals, Quick and Jazmin meet up with Kyoko, Jazmin's mom, and Gloria, Quick's Mom, erroneously assuming that they're dating and making babies as seen here and on the next few pages here.
  • In Sabrina Online, you have R.C.'s parents, Conrad and Rainwater Conrad. They are serious hippies and very socially accepting. Conrad once said he was beginning to suspect R.C. was gay before he met Sabrina, Not That There's Anything Wrong with That. Conrad apparently once grabbed Zig Zag's ass as well.
  • Cloud from Sandra and Woo probably won't go to a restaurant together with his parents anytime soon again.
  • Savestate: This page demonstrates the trope quite well.
  • In David Willis' Shortpacked!, the surly, misanthropic Mike's parents (who he continually denounces to his girlfriend Amber) are revealed to be extraordinarily understanding parents who appear to be straight out of a fifties sitcom — except that they are equally extraordinarily frank about their sex life and willing to give advice. Which explains just why Mike was so keen to keep Amber as far away from them as humanly possible. However, it's never stated whether they were always like this or whether this is their reaction to Mike dying at the end of It's Walky and coming back a year later with no explanation.
  • Spinnerette has Super Milf, whose superhero name both A. calls attention to the fact that she has kids, and B. calls attention to the fact that she's a near-exhibitionist for whom being a superhero is largely a sexual fetish. If we have yet to see the kids, in can only be because they are in hiding.
  • Stand Still, Stay Silent: Lalli manages to fall victim to this despite losing both his parents at age eight and not making any friends before age nineteen. One evening has Lalli dream of the events that caused the death of his parents, and the magic system allows his new friends to witness them. The memories include Lalli's mother giving him a big hug and calling him childish nicknames. Lalli's friends are obviously stifling laughs at the sight.
  • The alt text in this xkcd involving Totally Radical.
  • Zeus' Godly Goodtime portrays Zeus as this. His constant pestering embarrasses his son Kratos. At one point, Zeus even asks if he can join Kratos in bed!
