      It goes deeper than that, too.

      Pop culture painting dads as irresponsible parents comes from the idea that women are natural caregivers while men are just boys who work. It’s a cultural bias that still affects legislation and custody rulings, and why it’s a goddamn fight to get changing table in men’s public washrooms.

      Funny drunk dad meme is just the scum on the surface of a shitty lake.

      Yes,because dad cool, mom uncool.

      Funny sexism from the 50s.

      Or maybe mom responsible adult, dad irresponsible man-child?

      It’s the funny anti-male gender bigotry of this century.

      I don’t think great-grandpa could make a meme like this, so your characterization is probably going to be the much less likely source. And honestly, it has the same man-hating, man-as-incompetent-idiot stench as a lot of feminist propaganda.
