I think this trope wont go away as long as people have appliances. It will probably become uncommon as the reasons for it become less prominent but it will always be a good, tried and true trope. We all have those moments afterall of an incredibly mundane screw up that in the moment does feel as ridiculous as on TV because it happened on top of other everyday type stresses. Compounding the stress, anxiety and frustration that often punctuates average life. Its certainly more relatable than the fantastical problems fictional characters often face.
I'd like to shout out a kind of inverse of the incompetent dad trope called The Way of the Househusband, which is a comedy anime on netflix. The show is about a former yakuza whos become the stay at home husband of a working woman. Most of the jokes arent about him not knowing how to do housework, hes actually incredibly good at most of it, but about the sheer zeal with which he does them, and the stark contrast between his intimidating mobster exterior and actually very gentle behaviour. This man is physically incapable of giving less than 1000% in anything he does, and it makes for a great laugh.
I was internaly complaining about the whole "laughing at people that can't do chores" but damn 2:46

This reminds me of the episode of tAWoG where gumball gets really unlucky and a radiator explodes. Gave me anxiety about radiators as a kid lmap
Love the video. I didn’t realise how interesting this trope could be.
