It's also hinted at that Robert was physically abusive to his children, but Cersei was adamantly against that and put a stop to it at some point. Either way there was definitely overt, vocalized disappointment toward Joffrey (think about the scene after Arya fights Joffrey, "you let that little girl disarm you?" etc) and it doesn't appear there was any positive interaction between them, even though Joffrey seems to have admired Robert a great deal and really wanted to impress him (like the implications of your example with Bran). But in personality Joffrey is much more like Cersei, and she enables that with her treatment of him. I do think in part Robert's reaction to Joffrey was because of his similarities to Cersei, who he seemed to almost hate. Not that it makes things better but there is definitely a fucked up situation for Joffrey. Still, neither Robert nor Cersei seem to be anywhere near as cruel as Joffrey is, nor to take such obvious pleasure in the suffering/mutilation/murder/humiliation/abuse of others. Cersei has motivational factors for her behavior, as horrible as they are, she doesn't act just out of joy of hurting others. Joffrey does and that seems unique to him. His personality defects and taste for violence made him a disaster waiting to happen, when combined with that horrible family environment.
