I can’t remember what his acting was like, all I remember is thinking about how much I wanna ride him every time he was on screen 😂
Lupita I had more of a problem with. The voice she used as Red was hilariously bad.

I had the same thoughts about him!

His tone was all over the place. It's like he was in a battle between delivering his lines as a fearful father would be, and trying to provide the comic relief.
When he grabs the bat to scare off the doubles, he delivered his warning almost comically. Not seriously enough, but also not obvious comedy - it's like the way Kevin Hart would delivery those lines in a comedy, which is completely out of place for a horror movie with disturbing imagery around them. It ruins the tension for the audience: they're detached from relating to the father's fear in his situation to not knowing whether to smirk.
Get Out had a comic relief character in Lil Rel, but it worked for him: Lil Rel's scenes were in a separate setting, away from the House. It allows the view to consciously separate what's happening in the House verse Lil Rel's dimension.
Jordan Peele once remarked that black people *know* they're in a horror movie, contrary to dumb white people who always hear a noise and "go down the stairs" to get killed. Ironically, the dad was that dumb character. He didn't believe the mom's story at first, he walks outside with a bat, he says dumb comments like "you can take the car, the boat."
He had no redeeming qualities at all, didn't carry the film in any way, and didn't exist to do anything, other than make snarky comments about his current circumstances. The middle of the film consisted of a lot of filler to get us to the ending. He could have been killed off early on by his double, and it wouldn't have changed the film.
This movie would've been a lot of better with stronger acting from the father, who played it straight.
