Ehkä Walliams on hieman vanhemman sukupolven edustajana ja koomikkona löytänyt tällaisista vitseistä kultasuonen, ja saanut ihmiset nauramaan. Niinpä hän käyttää niitä lastenkirjoissa. Ehkä hänkin voisi kuitenkin päivittää vitsisalkkuaan sellaisilla jutuilla, joille voisi oikeasti nauraa sen sijaan, että joutuu pyörittelemään silmiään. Walliams plans children's stories".

Particularly looking at the Boy in the Dress, his first novel, I found it very difficult to like Bad Dad, for many reasons. Being very cynical, it felt like the kind of novel that an established and very successful novelist can bring out - formulaic and basically not very good - but know it will sell anyway. There are so many repeated motifs and jokes. Not always a bad thing - Dahl did it plenty, Dahl to whom Walliam's is impossibly compared - but some of the choices here result in it being difficult to distinguish elements of Bad Dad from his other books. The poor, hard-done-to father/son combo and a couple of irritating yet loving female characters on the side mirrors the cast of Demon Dentist a little too closely. Simply put, it felt like I'd read it before.
