But they established that Big Bill had the whole town snowed. To everyone else he's a charmer. That's part of the reason he got away with it for so long, because he thought he was being legitimately funny. Although you notice Frank's mom never laughed, just shielding her face with her hand. Just like him trying to boast at the dinner table and his wife just questioned the logic of the analogy.
Really, that's a topic they could and perhaps should have done a deeper dive into: both Frank and his father sought support from their wives and felt they didn't get it. That is, instead of having Frank and Sue have another stock fight and a wacky episode with Frank in Cleveland with his work assclowns.
