I suppose I could see it when I was a kid, but as an adult, who isn't partial to children, myself, I think he's hilarious. He has some of the best lines in the movie: "If it makes you feel any better...I forgot my reading glasses." "This is real crystal...PUT IT IN YOUR PURSE!" "GET OUT OF HERE YOU NOSY LITTLE PERVERT OR I'M GONNA SLAP YOU SILLY!" lmao. He's the best.
shareI wouldn't like him in real life but I like him as a character. He's meant to be unlikable and he's funny.
shareThis ^^
His character is just over the top dirt bag. Absolutely love his character!

"I wouldn't like him in real life but I like him as a character. He's meant to be unlikable and he's funny."
Exactly. He's not supposed to be likable. I concur.
People hate him because of the way he treated Kevin.
Along with the quotes you mentioned:
In the first movie he says "Look what you did, you little JERK" when Kevin pushes Buzz (who provoked him by eating his pizza and pretending to vomit on him).
In the second movie, like you mentioned, he calls Kevin a "nosy little pervert" and threatens to "slap him silly" just because Kevin wanted to get something out of the bathroom. Uncle Frank was stupid for thinking that Kevin was there to "check him out."
Later, he laughs at Kevin's humiliation at the school recital. After said recital, Uncle Frank calls Kevin a "little sourpuss."
That's why people hate Uncle Frank. All he did was call Kevin names and laugh at his misfortune.

He even laughed at the woman on the piano getting hit in the head and congratulated Buzz for all this. Imagine how he would react if Kevin did this. Or if Kevin wetted his bed at that age and not his son.
shareBut it was hilarious when he laughed at that! He was laughing harder than anyone in the audience, and to be fair, I would have laughed at the tree falling on the woman too. He's a character that's so ridiculously mean spirited that you have to laugh at him. Of course he would seem like a jerk IRL, but in a movie, he's funny.
shareI know, but I think this was the only time when he laughed at someone else's misfortune, aside from Kevin.
But if Kevin did this...
And if Kevin were a bedwetter...
Why is he so against Kevin? That's what I find weird.
(I also never found it weird that he told the pizza boy that it is his brother's house. Or asked whether the drinks were free)
As an adult I see all these flaws in the other characters, parents, siblings... cousins?
I think Aunt Leslie and his older cousin Rod were the only good persons who were nice to Kevin. Well, there's the other girl with the glasses, Brooke, she never did anything.
Heather and the other two teen girls don't say anything to Kevin, but they all talk to a cop and can't still be bothered to get their uncle, instead they show various degrees of indifference or annoyance.
He has some of the best lines in the movie: "If it makes you feel any better...I forgot my reading glasses."
"He showed absolutely no concern about Kevin being left alone . . ." He probably was thinking: "Kevin's home alone! Damn, and I'm stuck on this airplane! Now Old Man Marley will have Kevin all to himself!"
I didn't really like how he was strict, but what I loathed was how he was tight... hanging onto every cent and having other people pay for things such as the trip to France, the pizza, and a the crystal glass.
