* [[Break the Cutie]]: Quinn (in "Monster"), Jodie (in "Gifted"), and most notably Stacy (in "Fat Like Me" - also a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for her). Arguably the single most defining character trait of Jake. This is pretty much the premise of the show. The show is all about the world's attempt to screw with Daria, and failing miserably. |

* [[Bumbling Dad]]: Jake. Zigzagged in that Jake ''tries'' to be a good dad in spite of his screwed-up childhood at the hands of his father, Mad-Dog Morgendorffer. The success rate of Jake trying to be a good father to his daughters varies from episode to episode (though it should be noted that, unlike some parents who were abused as children, Jake doesn't take out his anger on his wife or daughters -- opting instead to blame himself, his deceased father, and others who had nothing to do with his life). |
