When a teenage girl has a date, the date always comes over to pick her up, and because it takes women forever to get ready, he ends up spending some quality time in the living room with her Boyfriend-Blocking Dad. Depending who the audience is sympathetic towards, we either watch a domineering tyrant taking this opportunity to brutally intimidate the crap out of the poor kid, or we see a loving and indomitable guardian instill some much-needed restraint into a disgusting teenage male — a vile creature he remembers only too well from his own teenage years. Topics of discussion may include Dad's gun collection, combat experience or prison time, or perhaps the mysterious, unfortunate fates of the daughter's former suitors. The date will become emphatically aware of the daughter's curfew, as well as the fact that he's dating Daddy's Little Girl, and that if he ever does anything to hurt her, he will live only long enough to regret it. Generally, the girl is cheerfully unaware of her father's threatening of her date. Though in modern works, there's an increasing trend towards Genre Savvy girls intentionally leaving Daddy alone with her boyfriend to invoke this trope. If both the boy and the girl are supposed to be sympathetic though, she'll often get mad at her father for trying or threatening to give the boy a hard time. The name is a pun on Perp Sweating, a situation this is probably intentionally meant to echo. A bit of a Dead Horse Trope in fiction these days, as almost all modern instances will be heavily lampshaded, but it remains Truth in Television. Examples |

Downplayed in Child of the Storm. Magneto looms over Harry Dresden when he starts dating his daughter. This is a neat trick, considering that while Magneto's relatively tall, Dresden is 6'9 - though he's also trying and failing miserably to hide behind Wanda (5'6) at the time. However, he backs off with good grace before he can even get beyond a speculative look when she warns him off, and later proves surprisingly friendly. Of course, the flip side is that, him being The Dreaded for just about anyone who's ever heard of him, he doesn't need an If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her... speech. | |

In a Crossover between Eerie Cuties and Magick Chicks, Melissa's "Daddy", Dakota, does this to Ace, offering to show off "his" sword collection. (Slightly subverted in that Dakota actually has a far better reason to be "showing Ace the sword collection" and is using this trope as an excuse.) | |

That '70s Show: Red Forman, upon finding out Michael Kelso is dating his daughter Laurie, kicks him out of the house when he comes over for dinner and later has Eric summon him into the garage, locking the two of them in it until Kelso gets the gist of what Red wants to happen. Kelso struggles, as he is a dumbass and cries before they are done. | |

Castle Analyzed and ultimately subverted: Castle gets all excited at the opportunity to terrify his daughter's prom date... but his daughter intercepts him before he can greet her date at the door with a fake severed head. The trope is discussed further when Ryan and Castle reflect on the things the fathers of their prom dates did regarding this trope — which leads the previously clueless Beckett to come to the dawning realization that when she was getting ready for her date, this is what her dad was doing. Then played with further in the episode "Punked", when Castle does it by accident. He doesn't realize Alexis's friend Ashley is a boy, and walks in waving a very large antique revolver. note It's related to his current case. The boy is, understandably, rather disconcerted. Then Kate's father does it to Castle in a deleted scene. Though it's mostly Castle's fault. This is entirely in keeping with Castle's Manchild tendencies - the character is in his late 30s or early 40s, but often acts like someone who would expect to be Twerp Sweated. |

Parodied in Burnistoun, where a teenage girl tells her date to wait in the living room with her dad and 'all her mad uncles' while she gets ready. After grilling him over his intentions and even the movie he's taking her to see (which is described in the paper, much to their chagrin, as a 'saucy sex romp'), the girl comes back downstairs and finds the boy and one of her uncles having a spoon fight in their underwear. While handcuffed together. | |

Cheers: In Season One's "The Coach's Daughter", Diane notes that her father was very prone to this. Gender-inverted when Carla does it in one episode's cold open with her daughter's date (Carla having spent most of her teenaged years pregnant making her very suspicious). She seems to get over him, but once he's gone tells Sam to hold on to the glass the young man was drinking until the forensic lab techs show up. |

During Maru's 2-heart event in Stardew Valley, you end up alone for a few minutes in the lab with Demetrius, who warns you not to interfere with his daughter's career. Your options when Maru returns are to tell her he was acting weird, costing relationship points, or to pretend nothing happened. (While Maru's dialogue does get flirty over time, it's not till 8 hearts that she'll officially be your girlfriend. If you talk to Demetrius again right after the event, he admits that he may have jumped the gun there.) | |

Slight variation in Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil. In the first episode, Lucy's date is made to wait in the living room while her father (literally Satan) distracts her with a phone call so he can telepathically induce her pet hellhound to convince her date to jump out of the window in her honor, a la the nanny in The Omen (1976). | |

Rocko's Modern Life: While older than most examples of this trope, Rocko was subjected to this once when he went on a date with a cute rabbit girl and met her father. While seemingly friendly when his daughter is present, the moment Mr. Rabbit is alone with Rocko he morphs into a hulking monster with several sharp claws that tells the wallaby in no uncertain terms what will happen if he touches the daughter. Naturally, the show being what it is and Rocko being a Chew Toy, the daughter turns out to be much more amorous than Rocko and almost immediately begins throwing herself at Rocko when they get in his car... and Mr. Rabbit is apparently a ninja who can sneak into cars unnoticed. | |

Justified as his dad is a slimeball who previously cheated on his mom (a lot) and then abandoned them. However, Jake eventually accepts that his mother is a grown woman, and he really doesn't get a say in who she dates... though he does threaten his father one more time for good measure. | |

However, his heart clearly isn't in it, and Martin, who has spent the past ten years travelling the world and killing people, first for the US government and later as a freelance assassin, is unimpressed. Eventually, the older man just shrugs and the two bond over scotch. | |

Non-date example: Trent has been unsuccessful in calling Daria (alas, it was just to help him buy Jane a birthday present) and shows up at her house. Before Daria comes down, he undergoes a bit of this from a befuddled and suspicious Jake (as Daria simply doesn't get "gentleman callers" while her sister Quinn has one every night), which all just confuses Trent. | |

A The K Chronicles strip starts off with Keith doing this to his mother's date, but then the date starts talking about how much he respects cartoonists and what a shame it is when newspapers cut them. In the last panel, Keith asks the visitor whether he needs a condom. | |

One of the absolute best examples is in Bad Boys II where Marcus and Mike threaten the hell out of Marcus' daughter's date Reggie. Cluster F-Bomb and N-Word Privileges ahoy. Mike actually pulls a gun on him, then threatens the poor boy with anal sex. Reggie looks like he's about to cry by the time Marcus' daughter comes to the door. It must be seen to be appreciated. Even better, the poor boy playing him had no idea what he was in for. The fear is quite genuine. | |

Used darkly in Spider-Man: Homecoming when Peter is escorting Liz to the homecoming dance. Her dad, as Peter learned when they met, is Adrian Toomes aka the Vulture. At first, Adrian goes through a typical Twerp Sweat procedure — waggling a very large knife as he prepares some food, offering Peter alcohol that he doesn't want someone underage to accept — but during the drive to the dance, Adrian figures out that Peter is Spider-Man. When Adrian drives them to the dance, he sends her in first, saying he has to give Peter "The Dad Talk". He then makes it clear that dating his daughter is the good option, but if Peter tries to thwart the Vulture's next heist, he and possibly his family will be killed, a threat Adrian tries to make good on later. | |

Done once with style in Hannah Montana where after very blatantly hitting on Miley while her dad is in the room, then insulting Robbie Ray's choice of guitars, the date manages to announce that he's not afraid to say that Hannah Montana sucks, prompting Robbie Ray to comment, "Well waddya know, the boy's got three feet!" | |

On The West Wing, the first time President Bartlet's daughter Zoey brought a boy home, he was greeted with the immortal line, "Just remember these two things: She's nineteen years old, and the 82nd Airborne works for me." And when Ellie sent her (rather weedy-looking and nervous) fiance to meet the father, Bartlet "just happened" to be flanked by all of the joint chiefs of staff. | |

From Clueless: "Anything happens to my daughter, I have a .45 and a shovel. I doubt anyone would miss you." Doubly funny because the father spends most of the movie buried in his work. His entire perp-sweating consists of the above line, during a (very) brief break from his work. Not that he had to worry about that particular guy. | |

In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, while Rean is aboard the Pantagruel he encounters Xeno and Leo, who used to work for Fie's adoptive father in his mercenary company and are essentially her adoptive elder siblings. While Rean explains to the two of them about how Fie is doing in school, both sense that Rean seems to be close to Fie, regardless of whether the player pursues any romance to her or not, with Leo deliberately pulling a Scary Black Man routine over the possibility of Rean courting Fie. Hilarity Ensues as Rean thinks that the two look more like overprotective dads than anything. | |

Naru-Hina Chronicles: Hiashi Hyuga wants "no funny business" between Naruto and Hinata, and requires them to sleep in separate rooms as a requirement for approval of their cohabitation. When called on the difference between Naruto's relationship with Hinata and Neji/Tenten or Konohamaru/Hanabi, he simply replies that Naruto is a known pervert and requires more rules. Also, to Hiashi, the Hyuga family sword apparently only exists to hunt down the boyfriends of his daughters... and Neji when he manages to get Tenten pregnant. It gets worse for comedy in the Mini-sodes, as this attitude is turned up to eleven, with the knob broken off. |

In some fics, he uses a holographic projection (usually of a very big and scary man), but in others, he Twerp Sweats the hapless boys in his alt mode.note Keep in mind, said alt mode is a large black GMC Topkick pickup truck. | |

White Sheep (RWBY): Taiyang to Jaune, twice. First, Taiyang interrogates Jaune on various hypothetical scenarios, such as what he'd do if Yang got pregnant. Then Jaune accidentally agrees to let Taiyang sleep in his dorm room, which gives Tai more time to sweat him. Jaune is mostly unconcerned through all this, as he and Yang have just started dating and he's done nothing wrong. The second time, he's significantly more worried, since Jaune has announced on international television that he is the Prince of the Grimm, Yang is his fiance who is pregnant with his child, and he'll destroy Atlas if she's not released. Tai is not happy that he was not informed about any of this, and Jaune quickly decides that he'd rather fight a war than deal with an angry Taiyang Xiao-Long. Tai does, however, give him a pass, as long as he's invited to the wedding. When Jaune and Weiss get in a Fake Relationship to distract Weiss' sister Winter from some illegal activities they were involved in, Winter decides to interrogate Jaune. When she asks what his intentions are, Jaune claims he plans to marry Weiss, to Winter's surprise. When Weiss chews him out for this, Jaune points out that he couldn't exactly say he planned to dump her in a few weeks. |

Modern Family: Dylan is sitting (uncomfortably) on the couch with Phil, waiting for Haley, watching baseball. Phil makes a comment about one of the players being "stuck at second base, and thinking about trying to steal third, which is just a terrible idea" then turns to him and asks how things are going with Haley. Phil may or may not have even realized the double entendre, but Claire, in the background, seems pleased to see Dylan squirm awkwardly. In the pilot, Phil explains his technique of acting perfectly friendly to his daughter's boyfriends, except for giving them a cold, dead stare. He doesn't pull it off as well as he thinks. |

Doctor Who. In "The Caretaker" the Doctor is being a Jerkass towards the boyfriend of his current companion. We're meant to believe this is down to jealousy, but the boyfriend realises it's because the Doctor is worried he's not good enough for her.

Shinji takes a second to ask Kal-El that, if he has the same powers as Asuka, why the heck does he has a shotgun? Kal-El's response is to shrug and say that "it just felt right". | |

This trope is incredibly common in Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfics, with nearly every named character getting in on the action in one fic or another, because as everyone knows, "a vague disclaimer is nobody's friend." Combined Force sees Spike and Giles join forces to scare the living daylights out of Dawn's date. The series The Chosen does the same thing with the whole gang; Dawn's date is mostly completely smooth and prepared in the face of all their questions...except when Giles enters and goes a bit Ripper on him. |

Uncle Buck A variant appears in this movie, where Buck realizes his niece's boyfriend, Bug, is only interested in sex and sets out to scare him off, constantly talking amiably. It's actually creepy: And when Tia tells Bug that Buck is "all talk", Buck produces the hatchet from the trunk of his car! Later, when the kid does turn out to be a slimeball who's only interested in getting it on and takes some liberties with Buck's niece, Buck gets to make good on the spirit of his threats (if not the letter)... by practicing his golf. And using the kid as a target. |
