* Dr. Evil and his son Scott in the ''[[Austin Powers]]'' films. Dr. Evil is rather disappointed that his son doesn't want to follow in his footsteps, though Scott was heading in that direction in the second movie and becomes a near copy of his father in the third. {{spoiler|The irony is that by that point <s>Dr. Evil</s> "Dougie" had [[Heel Face Turn|reformed]]}}.

* The King of the Swamp Castle in ''[[Monty Python and ~~The~~ Holy Grail]]'' is a bluff Yorkshireman who has built the strongest castle in all England in the middle of a swamp, after several failed attempts to do so. In contrast, his son, Prince Herbert, is an anaemic weed with a penchant for show tunes; after attempting to escape from the castle by climbing from a window, the King cuts his rope, sending him to an almost certain demise.

* ''[[Gladiator (film)|Gladiator]]'' has the emperor favor Maximus over Commodus because he considers his son too corrupt for the job, wanting instead a humble reformer to take the helm. Pity one of his son's "virtues" was [[Ambition Is Evil|Ambition]].

* In ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'', Rotti is disgusted with his children's depravity. Perhaps not so much with because they're all out of control monsters (he himself is a master manipulator and murderer) as that they aren't qualified to lead his company.
