Is Uncle Joe the villain of this series?
jpdoulos24 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Uncle Joe is the most aggravating character of this entire series, maybe one of the top ten most annoying characters in all of television.

He contributes nothing, makes nothing but negative remarks, and is arrogant beyond belief. He seems to like no one, and is rude to everyone, even the completely likeable dog. Why he holds such dislike for the family pet is never really explained or justified, but consistent since he acts obnoxious toward everyone.

In this episode he is in top form, and he causes so much financial loss to the Shady Rest Hotel that it begs the question - is he the unintentional villain of this show? He ruins bedsheets, comes up with ridiculous moneymaking schemes that wind up costing the hotel dearly, and generally sits around contributing nothing productive. In this episode he costs the hotel an entire convention for the sake of saving $6.00.

Kate Bradley continually forgives him because he is family. But fact is he is a huge burden upon all of them.
