- "You have no idea!"
"I have every idea." - ―Jesse & Jeff. Ridgway Sr.
Jeffrey 'Jeff' Ridgway Sr., or 'Psycho Dad' is Jesse and Jeffrey Ridgway Jr's father. He serves as one of the two titular main antagonists and the overall secondary antagonist turned anti-hero throughout the series. He initially appeared to be the primary antagonist until Jesse's exile when his exploits paled against those of the series' true main villain. Later, as of the events of Psycho Dad Reacts to One Million Juggies, he has a change of heart until such time Jesse backstabs him again by breaking something precious once more.
Jeffrey Sr. is disturbed by Jesse's pathological obsession for gaming and encourages him to get a job and a non-virtual life. Jesse, in turn declines and states that Youtube is his deeply fulfilling job and life, saying that YouTube is bot a real job. Because of this, Jeffrey Sr. threatens to destroy the tech items that feed Jesse's addiction. It is known that he has anger issues and is handy around tools (proven in the videos), but he is unfamiliar with how Social Media (Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, Facebook) works.
Jeffrey Sr. is the current Director of Public Works for the County of Salem.

Trivia
- In 2011, Jeffrey Sr had a interview.
- Jeffrey Sr. is similar to Angry Grandpa when he has anger issues, he destroys things even when Jesse doesn't listen to him.
- He seems to favorite his oldest son Jeffrey Ridgway Jr. over Jesse.
- He also seems to believe that Jeffrey Ridgway Jr. is telling the truth like recently when Jeffrey smashed the last of Psycho Dad and Larry's trophies and blaming Jesse for them. This however changed when Jesse was allowed back in the house again and showed him the jeffrey sashing his dad's trophies video.
- It has been intimated in "Psycho Dad's reacts to 1 million juggies" that he favors his eldest son over Jesse. with the fact that despite Jeffrey Jr. destroying what was left of his dad's trophies aswell. Jeffrey Sr. only destroyed Jeffrey Jr's camera and continued to let him stay in the house for free.
- Furthermore, He lets Jesse back in the house under the condition that he pays rent and works for his father for free. Jesse needing far more pushing towards functioning in society.
- He's extremely concerned about Jesse playing video games and the pretense of 'learning' from video games, with particular concern for the perceived connection between gaming and Jesse's more extreme and destructive tendencies.
- He is the fourth most profane character in the series, using mild cuss words like "bullshit", "shit", "crap" and so on. He hasn't used the word "fuck" in any videos thus far.
- Weirdly, the reason Jesse is into Video Games is that his dad played Super Mario Bros. which he let Jesse play. This is lampshaded by his mother who says, "You taught him how to play video games!". Jeffrey Sr. does not understand why his own moderate gaming history has provoked such a high addiction in his son.
- It is revealed that Jeffrey Sr. was a baseball prodigy as a kid having attained a great deal of trophies. Jesse later destroyed them, causing Jeffrey Sr. to exile him from the house. Jesse went on to learn a little about the nature of consequence - albeit a little late in life.
- It was also revealed that he was a Democrat in the Township Committee, following in the footsteps of his father, Ted Ridgway. He stepped down from the position of Deputy Mayor on March 7, 2012, several months before The "Psycho" videos started becoming popular . He is surprisingly tolerant of his previously unimpeachable civic reputation being shredded on YouTube.
- He is extremely hypocritical. proven when he pulled a Halloween prank on Jesse and then destroyed Jesse's Xbox One when Jesse pulls the same stunt on him. He seems to be just fine with Jeffery staying in the house but not Jesse.
- On YouTube, Twitter, etc, there are sometimes fakes who impersonate Psycho Dad, for example, https://twitter.com/TheJeffRidgway/
