Even in the 90s I noticed a lot of commercials with families in them had the fat, stupid dad who couldn't do simple tasks, out of control kids, and the heroic Mom who kept the family together while cooking, cleaning and working; all the while not looking a day over 30 and showing off that perfect smile.

And not just commercials. Look at pretty much any "mainstream" programming. Heck, the Simpsons has been doing it for 3 decades now.
