Basic Trope: Fathers that come off as perverted towards their children.
- Straight: Bob's gaze regularly rests on his daughter Claire's breasts, and he enjoys complimenting her beauty a little too much.
- Exaggerated: Bob gropes his daughter Claire, and eagerly tries to dress her himself.
- Downplayed: Bob lingers a bit too long when he makes physical contact with Claire, and gets distracted when having to clean her clothes.
- Justified:
- Bob was a notorious womanizer before becoming a father, he simply can't help reacting to his daughter like he would any other woman.
- Bob's job involves regularly dealing with women in sexual-related matters, such as being a gynecologist, thus analyzing his daughter Claire similarly.
- Bob honestly believes Claire is his dead wife Alice reincarnated, and thus hopes his perverted antics makes her remember.
- Bob is just taking being a Boyfriend-Blocking Dad to an extreme, not actually meaning anything untoward Claire.
- Claire is the only woman around, so Bob can't help feeling some sexual attraction.
- Inverted:
- Alice is horny for her son Charlie.
- Charlie is Claire's chaste protective brother.
- Claire harbors sexual feelings for her father Bob.
- Subverted: Bob peeks into the women's bath, but ends up looking away when he notices his daughter Claire.
- Double Subverted: ...Until checking again to make sure nobody noticed him, and he goes back to peeking on the women with Claire included.
- Parodied: Bob blatantly wants to have sex with his daughter, from the audio track he made splicing her voice and the sex doll he made in her image, but tries to claim he has only pure feelings for Claire- As he automatically slaps her on the rear as she passes bay.
- Zig Zagged: Bob peeks into the women's bath but looks away upon noticing Claire, yet not a minute later he goes back to looking- Because he's worried if she's actually healthy and okay. Yet instead of examining her full body, his gaze rests solely on her breasts- Because he noticed her breasts were unusually lumpy the last time he hugged her. Still...
- Averted: Fathers simply are not attracted to their daughters, if fathers are around at all.
- Enforced: "We need to show Bob's Dark and Troubled Past really messed him up... Let's have him be horny for his daughter Claire."
- Lampshaded: "So, despite having bedded a woman to even make Claire, you still rather bone your daughter than your own wife?"
- Invoked: Bob deliberately acts pervy towards Claire so she'll learn to protect herself from real creeps.
- Exploited: Diane blackmails Bob with the knowledge he knows of Bob's untoward desires for Claire.
- Defied: Bob refuses to view his daughters that way, possibly even going so far as to refuse raising any daughters of his.
- Discussed: "If there's Kissing Cousins along with Brother–Sister Incest, do ya think... Ya know?" "That a father may hold perverted thoughts about his own daughter? Certainly. Love comes in all forms, and though I may not agree, if cousins and siblings, then why not parent and child?"
- Conversed: "That is just creepy as all hell! Don't these fathers understand daughters are for raising, not sexing!?" "Well, it greatly depends on why the father is so drawn to his daughter, though I do imagine its the mutation of a base male fantasy to have a subservient wife."
- Implied: Bob is much more eager to spend time with Claire than her mother Alice, despite having much more important work to deal with.
- Deconstructed: Because Bob seems to have perverse intentions for Claire, his daughter is scared of him, family and friend are uncomfortable with him, and even the law refuse to let him be legally around his daughter.
- Reconstructed: Though Bob may have perverted thoughts about his daughter, he doesn't act overtly perverted if he thinks the feeling will never be returned. He also avoids any other physical proof, and genuinely behaves as a good father to Claire.
- Played For Laughs: Bob is genuinely confused whenever anyone tries to point out his perverted tendencies towards Claire, explaining some bizarre reason for his latest perverted act.
- Played For Drama: Bob is clearly disturbed, buying all of Claire's clothes for her, treating her more like a second wife, and even makes her share the same bed whenever on vacation. Thus, Claire is highly afraid of her father, yet knows leaving would send him off the deep end.
