## Trivia

* Joseph's name is a play on biblical figures along with the names of his wife and children. He and his wife have the names Mary and Joseph, who are the parents of the Christian savior, Jesus Christ. All their children have names that have the root, Christ-, who is the child of Mary bestowed by God, along with Joseph as his father. It is quite funny since Joseph is a youth minister.
* Unlike some of the other dads, you still have a relationship with Joseph in his bad end and you get dumped in his good one.
* He is revealed to be a cult leader in a non-canon and hidden secret ending.
* He at one point cheated on his wife with Robert.
* Joseph is one of three dads that you can die on a date with - in his second date, if you select all the worst options for the dancing segment, and then finish with the backflip attempt, you will land on your head and break your neck. The other two dads are Brian and Craig.
* Joseph is the only character to somewhat be considered the games "antagonist", however this is only due to the non-canon cult ending.
