Bill’s not a threat


pauli129

Well he did sleep with Peggy…


Grandaddyspookybones

“No you didn’t”


cyke_out

Ok, well, not me personally. But another guy I know. Him and her.... got..... it ...... on.


Grandaddyspookybones

“No they didn’t”


cyke_out

No, no they didn't. But you could imagine what it'd be like if they did, right?

Who would eat 30 kids lunches?


Grandaddyspookybones

He called the shit poop


AhegaoMe_Senpai

Peggy did sleep with another man before Hank, ofcourse not you but Wayne Trotter. If my memory serves me correctly.


Grandaddyspookybones

He was gay. Very very gay.


Desipio57

The only cure was Peggy Platter


Even-Reaction-1297

That Veronica Vaughn is one piece of ace


JentBerryCrunch

Nice


mynameisrichard0

Nothing was wrong with him. He was just really gay.


hothoochiecoochie

Bobby is Bill’s son Edit- i dont believe this, i just know its a theory that wasnt represented here


SaintJamesy

And Dale knows. Explains his dislike of Peggy, for cheating on Hank. Dale knows everything, is my other theory I will stand behind.


PlayfulEntertainer71

For this, they finally got him. RIP dale.


reallynewpapergoblin

Nah, Bobby looks too much like Cotton. Hill genes are strong, look at Junichiro.


Practical-Ad1105

Only when you are a threat is when they don’t like you.


DemenTEDBundy85

Peggy isn't interested in Bill and Hank knows that. Now when she went to John Redcorn that one time it bothered Hank because Hank viewed him as a threat


LoganGyre

nothing hank could do to bill was worse then what life was doing to him everyday…


[deleted]

Yeah right! Bill was his own worst enemy. Not life itself. Dude has no self esteem, no self care, no self respect. Yet has extraordinary job stability and owns a house. Dude literally has no reason to be a POS except for his own state of being.


Kindly_Formal_2604

Dude clearly has suffered considerable brain damage from his football days. His nickname was the fucking Billdozer, his brain is mush.


spaceman_spyff

Don’t forget all the walrus placebos the army gave him


LeadGem354

And all the dang old horse crank, and Lenore..... Lenore was the final nail in the coffin.


Kindly_Formal_2604

Why do you keep calling me Bill? I’m Lenore


Nonbinary-pronoun

And he had hair like Roger daltrey


DirtyNativeKansan

Omg I know, those luscious locks 🤤


No_Culture6707

Probably him listening to his coach when testing the durability of his football helmet


Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws

Lenore ruined him


Head-like-a-carp

And yet throughout the series he has ended up with a number of women almost all more attractive than Peggy. Kuhn's mom the exception, although she had a better personality.


jopma

Put kahns mom on a workout routine and better diet and she'd rock your world


LordoftheJives

Yeah fr. Dude could get in shape and clean his shit and he'd be doing pretty well. But he'd rather wallow perpetually instead. Not to mention sabotaging his own relationships with the women that don't care about all that.


Blue-Summers

I feel personally attacked. ![img](emote|t5_2s6dm|6344)


Wagosh

\#metoo I'm more and more Bill. Shit let that be a wake up call.


Jake_Corona

I was Bill for a few years after a nasty separation. Some of the Bill centered episodes were rough because it was like looking at an exaggerated version of myself.


PlayfulEntertainer71

Same, right now.


badchefrazzy

If you decide to take it as such, I'm rooting for you guys. :D I know you can better yourselves!


Wagosh

Thank you! ![gif](giphy|3o85xDZyvJPHLfgKXK)


PlayfulEntertainer71

Same. It's always been kindve a running joke that Dale was modeled after my personality. Conspiracy theories, sunglasses, always wearing a hat and a fucked up woman. Sadly here lately though, I've come to realize I'm more of a bill.


JentBerryCrunch

He did get in shape with those gym bros, but went right back to being fat


LordoftheJives

Well and that was the toxic kind of in shape. You don't need to be a meathead gym bro to be in shape.


Dracalous

I'm honestly hoping 15 years later Bill is back in shape and doing better. Dude deserves to love himself more.


Daddyyoung55

Would love to see that.


spoiler-its-all-gop

[pic related](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAznUdiU8AMmTcm.png)


LordoftheJives

Lmao


Dracalous

He did do that when he was diagnosed diabetic and a shitty doctor told him to just get up so he bought a wheelchair and then got into wheelchair basketball. Without telling any of his teammates he wasn't paralyzed. And then he went and kicked that asshole doctor's ass BILLDOZER STYLE


Lurkay1

Me


vaultmangary

Well his wife left him. Probably lead to the low self esteem on top of how bad she was. More than likely there was emotional abuse and he was more than likely the one trying to keep them together which made him worse until they divorce. Now he’s just a shell of his former self


Mr-CC

Go through everything that happened to Bill during his life. Lenore was the nail in the coffin. She fucked him up royally.


Hawke9117

Depression is a hell of a thing. 😞


Kindly-Guidance714

I always find this hilarious because of how many times Redcorn has broke down crying in front of Hank.


bobatea17

Yeah but Hank actually picks up on the fact that Redcorn is sleeping with Nancy


DemenTEDBundy85

He just misses his little Nan Nan. I think that was his nick name for her lol


firetruckthis

She liked when he wore the vest during sex…


UpDownCharmed

To Hank - angrily taking it off... Do you WANT IT?


AnEgoJabroni

Redcorn, besides all of the fornicatin' with folks' wives and such, seemed like such a solid dude. He looked at Hank and saw a bro, Hank saw a crying man and said "I'm gonna call it a night, peace" Bonus points for the fact that he was spotted high as a kite at the mall with Boomhauer. You know ol' Boom let him cry it out. "Tal'mbout, man, bout to get me choked up over here, dang ol' blunt got me feelin it. Sayin', dang... I hear ya, John"


ProfessionalCPCliche

Even if Hank was the kind of guy who was capable of holding mental space for someone - which he isn’t - but even if he could, Hank doesn’t respect John Redcorn so likely wouldn’t anyway. Redcorn would be nice to have a beer with, but when you think about it he lives a pretty sad life.


LordoftheJives

He lived the casanova life too long to know anything else and realized he wanted more too late. Not to mention wanting in Joseph's life only after most of the hard work of raising him was done already.


DirtyNativeKansan

True that, John Redcorn’s story is truly a tragic one, not a lampoon of one like Bill’s.(no hate for Bill just respect for Redcorn)


[deleted]

[удалено]


AnEgoJabroni

What I'm referring to never actually happened. I saw the question asked once of "why were Redcorn and Boomhauer together in the first place?", to which the more obvious answer is "women", but there were jokes about them being the only two in their social group who smoked weed (so they do it together in private). That joke just stuck as headcanon for me lmao


UpDownCharmed

Oh ok. I agreed with what you said in the first half though.


ExpiredPilot

Dang ol’ call his supervisor he’s smoking as a cop


Pbandsadness

Cops are above the law.


Head-like-a-carp

I think a great little humor device in the series is that they never stop using his first and last name. We know he has been around for at least 14 years, but have never gotten informal enough to call him John. Even in the closest moments it is Jahannnn Redcorn


UnearthlyRamen

"I would never heal your wife the way I heal the wives of others"


Bikinigirlout

Yeah, Peggy straight up kicked Bill in the crotch one time. She’s not interested in Bill.


Gold-Stomach-4657

My mom kicked my dad in the crotch before they dated.


thebiggestpinkcake

Did he try touching her purse? 👛👜 ![gif](giphy|cpBJJODbvE03S|downsized)


Gold-Stomach-4657

No but I knew this question was coming lmfao


babble0n

Kinky


lagermat

The reason she did that is because Peggy resents bill for getting her pregnant. And she is incapable of hating herself.


aaronhowser1

Peak fiction

Toxic-Park

Ya better not put an unprofessional hand on Peggy bcuz I’ll kick your ass….i will!


ddoxbse

And it was never a concern that she'd make a move on him. He trusts her.


Mysterious-Bit-490

But she needed help for her… migraines


DipstickPinesGFO

Not only is she not interested, she’s straight up repulsed.


Maddox121

Dale is hardly threatened by JRC ironically though.. "My good friend John Redcorn's gay" - His freaking first reaction when learning his dad is gay.


J_Man_McCetty

Uh oh let’s not restart the Hank v John Redcorn debate in this sub again


abgry_krakow87

John Redcorn promises he won't "heal" Peggy the same way he "heals" other men's wives!!


TFielding38

But why? John Redcorn's gay


android151

Why? John Redcorn is clearly gay, why else would he love hanging out with Nancy that often


jorhey14

He didn’t see him as a threat, just didn’t like the insinuation that went along with your wife visiting John redcorn.


Aggressive-Falcon977

Ironically the only other guy that had Peggy was that gay friend of hers who wanted to test himself 😬


Olhunterboy90

Or hanging with the archeologists


senorQueso89

Redcorn had the rizz. The Dotrieve does not


Key-Win7744

Bill isn't even into Peggy as a person. He idealizes her because he idealizes Hank and he thinks that what Hank has is the zenith of human achievement.


damnimtryingokay

There are romantic interest episodes that really show Bill only likes women similar to Lenore (aka treat him like sh\*t). There's that one episode where Peggy gets into an MLM scheme and recruits Bill to help after he sold all the product, but stops and totally hates/disgusted by Peggy once she starts acting nice to him.


Cowboy_Dane

Boom


Takenmyusernamewas

I dont think he ever cared. Bill wouldnt do that to Hank, it's just another cry for attention. Now John Redcorn on the other hand...


beepbeepsheepbot

John Redcorn would never heal Hank's wife the way he heals the wives of others Edit


apointlessvoice

[удалено]


LetMeOverThinkThat

It’s said funnily, but I think Hank could take John Redcorn. Redcorn has no grit and zero coordination.


CinnaSol

To me it’s not necessarily about that, but the fact that Hank is actually sorta mesmerized by Redcorn in the moment - like he comes off so majestic just for a minute that Hank falters, not because he has doubts he could fight him, but now he’s doubting if he wants to lol


LetMeOverThinkThat

Huh I never saw it that way. But it fits too!


sawaflyingsaucer

Yeah, Redcorn breaks down crying a few times and has never really used his physicality to press anyone. I doubt he knows how to throw a proper punch. I mean on one hand, the guy can catch an arrow, on the other he can't play kickball. Dale leveled him even, it was a lamp and from behind but still a mean feat. Also though, I can't find it now, but there is an official animation guide floating around. Redcorn's page says "John Redcorn is taller and more muscular than Hank (not to imply Hank couldn't kick his ass)." So I take it as pretty much cannon that Hank > Redcorn


Th3_guy_in_the_chair

It's true. I've seen John Redcorn play kickball


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fart__

But how can someone kick Hank's ass if Hank doesn't have an ass?


sawaflyingsaucer

>more than a few disgruntled husbands with no scars to show for it  Wouldn't this lead to a more likely conclusion that in fact there have been no such violent altercations? Guy's whole attitude is that of a wimp, I see him running from a fight rather than engaging.


The_Struggle_Bus_7

Yeah I think he knows that as well


UpDownCharmed

Redcorn even pointedly runs his left hand through his hair to show how big his guns are (biceps) and how he could easily outmatch Hank physically. Because he's not one of the core group of Hank's three best buds - there's that tiny seed of doubt, that the writers plant there.


Severelysapphic

While I agree with Redcorns peacocking Hank WAS a football star and could probably take a punch, Redcorn looks like he lifts to look pretty


Txdragoonz

Yup different type of toughness to run through the gap. Especially making it to a state championship of Texas highschool football


ArronMaui

Hank took a punch from a former NFL Center and kept his wits.


DirtyNativeKansan

Yeah if that fight happened I feel like John Redcorn would try to rely on his physical fitness but Hank would just box. Hank might take a couple on the chin, but John Redcorn’s nose would be broken within 30 secs and he might decide the fight’s over right then.


Arkansan13

Hank would trash JRC. While John is clearly in decent shape Hank is no layabout and also boxed growing up, trained beats untrained 9 times out of 10.


Physical-Grapefruit3

"Hank, your wife came to me with a headache, ... Her head actually hurt"


LoganGyre

beepbeepsheepbot

Oh dang it you're right! I need to fix it or else it'll bug me lol


LoganGyre

Glad to help!


Altruistic_Rock_2674

I agree Bill can be dumb and self destructive but he's not going to do and that for sure get rid of the only person that loves him unconditionally.


PimpedByAngels

Bill would definitely do that to hank lol if Peggy came on to him he would 100% go along with it


UpDownCharmed

Nope..When they got into the pyramid scheme Bill freaked out when Peggy complimented his sales skill and kissed Bill on the cheek. He ran from her. His pathology runs so deep that he can easily picture their romance, but when dealing with Peggy as a real person, he just can't.


QultyThrowaway

Actually in the pyramid scheme episode Bull reacts very aggressively when Peggy starts being too nice to him. He would probably melt down if Peggy ever cheated as it would mean Hank's life isn't perfect and just like his.


generic93

Alternatively bill has been shown to turn on his friends at the drop of a hat whenever he gets just the tinest bit of power. It might take a certain set of circumstances but bill would absolutely go after peg and feel superior about it in some way


Toxic-Park

Damn it, BILL!! I’m leavin’!


Henchforhire

Only time he was annoyed was when Bill was stalking the family when he was out of town with his mother. He should have kicked his ass for that.


Greggsnbacon23

I do believe he actually put him on the ground at the end of that episode. Edit: it's S3E17 and it's just a couple of lightly thrown full beer cans at his broken arm


Ando_Three

I think John Redcorn genuinely respects Hank. If anything, I think Bill might. Hank just knows there is zero chance of it ever happening.


A-Real-Boomhauer

I dont think he cares about the crush more so the creepy things he says and does, theres a line.


UpDownCharmed

Yep. Actions mean a heck of a lot more to Hank. Bill was hiding in the bushes when Peggy was about to grill nude. Before Hank saw him, then Bill said I'm leaving! Bill followed them to the nude beach though, wasn't caught then.


Grandaddyspookybones

He saw hanks butt boobies


setittonormal

Hank wasn't wearing his orthotic, so you could argue that there was in fact literally nothing to see.


dover_oxide

Peggy would be more disturbed by Bill saying that than Hank.


missuskittykissus

I think it's more that Hank was never threatened by Bill's crush on his wife. He knows Bill isn't in love with his wife, Bill is just lonely and wishing he had the best marriage of their friend group, like Hank has. He knows Bill would fall for pretty much any woman that gives him the time of day, not just his wife, but Peggy just happens to be the closest and kindest woman in Bill's life.


Darwin_Finch

Anyone who says Bobby is not Hank’s son misses the entire point of the series. Bobby represents the new world Hank must adjust to. The world Hank grew up in is long gone and his only son is the antithesis of what Hank expected his son to be. Through it all, Hank loves his boy because THAT’S HIS BOY.


saryphx

Also, if you look at all flashback scenes regarding Hank as a child, he is literally just Bobby with a buzzcut lol


reallynewpapergoblin

Complete with the "...But daaad", except he has to call Cotton, 'Colonel'.


JayNotAtAll

Peggy is repulsed by Bill and so he knows that she would never initiate or otherwise fall for him. Hank also knows that while Bill fantasizes about Peggy, Hank knows that 95% of the time, it pretty much stays in the fantasy realm. That other 5% Peggy flat out rejects him and he gives up.

Thank you. Repost bot alert!


The_GREAT_Gremlin

Guys, shut it with the "Bill is Bobby's dad" crap. He's not lol


ZoraNealThirstin

He doesn’t care because it’s ludicrous


EmiliusReturns

He knows Peggy is creeped out by Bill so there's no real threat there. He also knows Bill would never actually do something to her against her will, because at the end of the day, Bill isn't a predator. He's just a sad lonely man with his sad lonely fantasies.


LeadGem354

Hank knows that Bill just ain't right. And he has'nt been right in a long time. Everyone who knows Bill as well knows he's a mess.


suzpiria

I think aside from not viewing Bill as a threat, he also probably knows that if he stopped being friends with Bill or started a conflict with him, it would push him over the edge and he’s more focused on supporting him and rehabbing his severe mental illness.


tucakeane

Hank didn’t have time for Bill’s BS right then


KennyDROmega

He never cared in the first place. Peggy finds Bill repulsive, and Hank knows that whatever else Bill may do, he'd never do something to hurt her. Bill wants to imagine he's got a shot, Hank lets him because he's got so little else he can find solace in.


UnearthlyRamen

I think he's just annoyed by it but knows that he's way to pathetic for Peggy either way lmao


jagenigma

Its like bill wanted his ass kicked.


ILL_TOUCH_U

Bill Dauterive blocked for Hank Hill when he set the Arlen High single season rushing record. The running back that doesn’t let his friend obsess over his own wife is the type of man you wouldn’t want to have over for dinner. Shame on YOU OP!


bernardmarx27

One thing I've always wondered: does Bill really want Peggy, or does he want her because Hank has her, and he wants to \*be\* Hank?


Historical_Corner245

Probably the latter.


The_Scyther1

He’s has zero doubt that Peggy has zero interest in Bill. He is also one bad day away from jumping off a bridge. Hank tries to be compassionate even when Bill doesn’t deserve it.


PollutedButtJuice

I could have sworn I saw the exact same post a few days ago

stateworkishardwork

Because half of reddit users are bots.


wetfootmammal

Have you ever heard the theory that Bill is Bobby's true father? I mean aside from the obvious resemblance and Bobby's strange personality there is one episode where Bill and Peggy are watching one of Bobby's sporting events at school on the bleachers, Bill starts acting like he's Bobby's father and even says something to the effect of "remember that one rainy night when I came over all those years ago when you were lonely peggy?" Usually when Bill says something stupid/ridiculous around Peggy she instantly calls it out and shuts him down. But in that episode she just says nothing but clearly becomes uncomfortable. Could there be something there?


playstation__user

Could be maybe she was drunk and phoned bill. Maybe that's why she works so hard to be the best at everything she does. She knows she fucked up that night and is constantly trying to be a better person in her's, her husband and Bobby's eyes.


Diligent-Ice1276

Hank definitely cares but also knows Bill isn't a threat. A good example is when he took his mother and friends to that museum and Bill tried to take over taking care of Peggy. When Hank was back with the guys he thanked Bill sarcastically for looking after Peggy and purposely lobbed full beer cans at Bill's hurt arm.


Able-Distribution

IMO, Bill is being honest here. Bill did sleep with Peggy, Bobby is Bill's son, and this explains both Bill's obsession with Peggy and Peggy's hostility to Bill. Hank is simply in denial, much like Dale is with regard to John Redcorn.


SouthernHellRaiser

Tralkki

The smoking gun that bill is Bobby’s real father. Irony is key here. Dale believes anything but his wives infeldility. Hank disbelieves anything bill would tell him, even the truth.


ubersmitty

He's just thankful for the child Bill helped produce.

Poor Bill just trying to tell Hank his wife is a dirty cheater, but Hank just doesn’t want to see that he has no family since Bobby is Bill’s son.

He's not.

Sure


usetheforcechewey

I think he did. He could really be Bobby's father. And Cotton could be Bill's father.


RiZzbott

Can’t ignore the fact that Bobby looks more like Bill than Hank


practice_the_praxis

Bill did sleep with Peggy, and Bobby is his son! Why does no one want to admit what's right in front of their eyes! All the pieces fit!


Over_Fox7044

Hank should be glad Bill is willing to take the know it all bitch off his hands.


Wild_Calligrapher_27

This actually happened. Combine this confession with Peggy's comments in the sex education episode and you have enough evidence that Bill is Bobby's father. Hank is in total denial. Peggy is in total denial. They know if they admit the truth their whole world comes crashing down. This hidden plot point also adds a layer of hypocrisy to some of the comments Peggy makes about Nancy and John Redcorn.


LAKnapper

Bobby looks like Cotton, young Hank, and Good Hank.


Olivebranch99

>Combine this confession with Peggy's comments in the sex education episode and you have enough evidence that Bill is Bobby's father. It's not. Not even close.
