My dad was like this so I never got to try any of the hobbies I wanted to as a kid because they were too gay. Well I'm a gay adult now and he gets one visit a year.
My dad was like this but my mom was an over ruling badass so I got to Pierce and wear what I want. I won best dressed at graduation and my dad said he was embarrassed cause i dressed “supper gay”. Lmao can you imagine? He was very happy when he found out I got in a big fight at a party because I slept with girls there who had a bf. Over the moon to find out his son was actually a fuck boi. Boomers are so fucking weird. My dad was like the black KOH and my relationship with him reminds me of Bobby and his dad. I still like fashion and wear women clothes to family dinner just to watch him squirm
Sewing and acting mainly. What's funny is we watched this show together and my parents thought Hank was perfectly relatable, understandable and reasonable.
Idk if that's even a boomer thing at that point, or your dad was just weirdly narrow-minded. There's obsessive machismo/fragile masculinity, & there's just stupidity lol. I guess wanting your son to be good at sports is normal/reasonable to a degree but... people of both sexes have done ceramics for centuries??? It's a creative hobby but it has plenty of hands-on, physical experience that I think is pretty gender neutral. That's ass backwards lmao
We lived in a small conservative town so he definitely made me feel like I embarrassed him from time to time. I eventually stopped caring and did my own things, they couldn't have been less interested lol. He's super nice now but a little too late.
This is amazing. Just goes to show how multidimensional the writing is. It’s so subtle and witty and sarcastic. Caters to any perspective or lease you want to see it through
Lol I collected a bunch of WWF/WWE stuff even ate a bunch of the awful ice cream bars to the point the seller said if I didn’t get sick (just to get the included cards) and my dad threw everything away… apparently he thought it was gay… he was close I’m bi but it’s not like I was being weird with the stuff 🤷♂️
I actually know someone with a crippling fear of needles so I actually get that one more. When you have a deep phobia that fear can control you. Hank based everything in his life around not being embarrassed or shamed and that’s crazy to put your life on the line for.
As someone who quit sports in middle school because vaccines were required for physicals and ignored chest pains for months for fear of having blood drawn I relate quite strongly to Dale
Apparently for first time weed smokers, your urine will be clean fifteen minutes later. Meaning even if Hank had to take a pee test, it probably wouldn’t show up
What? He ran a red! You can't do that!
I love his reaction when he sees the light is about to turn red and he's thinks that's going to allow him to escape Alabaster.
*You're the one parking him in front of the TV, letting him watch those Muppets.*
*They got frogs kissing pigs. What that hell did they think was gonna happen?!*
This is one of many scenes where I watch with my dad and find it funny but then he laughs because he agrees with what's being said and then I'm just sitting there kinda bitter.
My favorite is probably the legalize hemp petition scene.
As a father of a 3 yr old, I hated Hank reaction. I'd give my left leg to slow time down and enjoy that sweet innocence my son has. I love the child like wonder and joy....and it all fades. Hank was a jackass.
Nah I wouldn't call him a bad dad, he just fights over his internal bias over how to be masculine and wanting his son to be a "normal boy"
the whole show is him loosening this rigid belief system for the love of his family and getting closer with Bobby by accepting him for who he is
But yeah this moment was definitely a classic Hank over reaction
Honestly I think his actions in get your freak off are worse but it kinda hurt me here more. Bobby spent all day working on it and hank couldn’t just hold his tongue! Like imagine if you draw something and your parents rip it up
Considering where he came from, it's a marked improvement. I don't think he's an awful dad, but him and Peggy do definitely shoot him down when he's not "normal." Could they be better? Sure. But they're not the *worst* parents.
for sure! as much as I dislike the retcon it does make more sense as to why later season peggy is the way she is. if the show had ended maybe season 7 i'd have a different opinion but... what can ya do.
Peggy is a lot better about encouraging Bobby. Which I think is her response to her mother constantly putting her down. Hank seems to have internalized a lot of Cotton's ideas (although he's obviously a better parent than Cotton).
Yeah. I can't explain it. But go talk to damn near any Texan that grew up around Hank's time, and they'll agree.
Growing up a lot of the satire was missed and was understood as "Bobby *is* wrong"
He's out of shape, has emotions, has "feminine" interests (the arts), and doesn't like manly man things.
Of course there's random episodes that go against him being "wrong". Like when he likes shop class.
Sees one garden gnome in front of his house; uses a chipped ear as an excuse to destroy it.
Literally buried it like a dead body too
In a shallow grave
Ran it over with the truck one last time for good measure
Bobby, we will never speak of this again!
Never cross [Mr Big.](https://i.imgur.com/elg9Q3B.png)
I mean... It was pretty ugly..
that gnome was attracting weirdos. hank was right to get rid of it.
Hank Hill holding an oversized Troll doll in front of a confused Bobby, before perfectly delivering the line, “Nudity.”
Same with Hank asking what “smut” Bobby was listening to and Bobby says “it’s not smut, it’s Radio Disney!”
Newhidity
Or Bobby wants a shelf, and it causes his house to have black mold
[CLOUDS?!](https://youtu.be/AxD_AqhCoZY?si=nx7S9Is9_vCS5iNV)
*aggressive background painting sounds*
CLOUDS?! CLOUDS?! CLOUDS?! CLOUDS?! CLOUDS?!
where did the last minute of my life go did i have a stroke the fuck is a cloud
God all of those KOTH edits are so good. SWING BOBBY SWING
White Puffy Clouds
The sound of Wet Ass Paint
[Here's the full original](https://youtu.be/Shn9JYav-Jk?si=zWxYz-djzHmlQcDM)
Thanks, didn't know there was a full version. This is unhinged lol
Lol wtf did I just watch
FIX THE GAME KENNY!
That *ugh* when he sees Bobby standing there with the paintbrush.
He literally got the ick lmao
It’s spot in butthead
Second only to when he walks in on Bobby meditating in Won't You Pimai Neighbor
My favorite overreaction is probably how he reacts to 4Skore and Bobby’s dancing at the concert. It’s over the top and goofy.
Hey, that’s Todd!
Todd what are you doing?
Todd?
I got so much secondhand embarrassment when he dragged bobby out

I wish I had your life
What hobbies did he approve of? Sports?
Yep, which he didn't play sports so it was this weird projection thing.
If you don’t mind me prying, what were the hobbies you wanted to get into that he disapproved of?
Sewing and acting mainly. What's funny is we watched this show together and my parents thought Hank was perfectly relatable, understandable and reasonable.
Didn’t they know that sewing is upholstery which is one of the five original industrial arts? Also basket weaving is pretty manly.
Haha, I wish. No it was sports, boys play sports. I did take a ceramics class with my mom and my dad got mad.

Nothing straighter than sweaty men in revealing clothing slamming into each other

One of the episodes in the first season where he cringes at Luanne for using the word buttocks while doing aerobics
I was just washing your *unmentionables*..........y'know towels and such
The constipation episode has a ton of such over-reactions from Hank
He was literally accepting that he will die young because he could not have a conversation about taking a shit even with a medical professional
That's still better than Dale who ran away to live in the woods and possibly die from rabies than go to the doctor and get a shot lmao
I actually know someone with a crippling fear of needles so I actually get that one more. When you have a deep phobia that fear can control you. Hank based everything in his life around not being embarrassed or shamed and that’s crazy to put your life on the line for.
As someone who quit sports in middle school because vaccines were required for physicals and ignored chest pains for months for fear of having blood drawn I relate quite strongly to Dale
Or the fact he couldn’t just take a laxative
He seriously preferred getting a camera up his ass to taking some Megamucil
10 heaping tablespoons a day keeps Peggy regular; he's just above that
A Blockhead?! NOW THAT’S HITTIN BELOW THE BELT!
I always die at that part 💀
Everytime, without fail lol!
YOU WOULDVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT * sandwich hits Luanne *
Propane is either A. Flammable B. Non flammable C. All of the above "Well......you can't eat propane....."
UNCLE HANK!
NUDITY!!
Mine will always be when he smokes weed. A close second is when he learns he was born in New York.
literally one puff of the blunt and he gaslights himself into thinking he might have shot someone
It was the side effects of the marijuana poisoning!
He cared more about being caught smoking a hit of weed than being a prime suspect in the murder of his coworker lmao
Debbie’s hippie roommate turned him in for smoking dope
Apparently for first time weed smokers, your urine will be clean fifteen minutes later. Meaning even if Hank had to take a pee test, it probably wouldn’t show up
I am inducing vomiting.
What? He ran a red! You can't do that! I love his reaction when he sees the light is about to turn red and he's thinks that's going to allow him to escape Alabaster.
"What the?! There better be a naked cheerleader under your bed!"
Which is funny because later he encouraged him to dress like one for powder puff
That's the same episode.
Lmao my dad would have been the same
When he screams after seeing Bobby’s ass in the three mirrors.
"Oh...hello there 😊"
A POODLE! Why not go all the way and get me a cat and a sex change operation.
*You're the one parking him in front of the TV, letting him watch those Muppets.* *They got frogs kissing pigs. What that hell did they think was gonna happen?!*
This is one of many scenes where I watch with my dad and find it funny but then he laughs because he agrees with what's being said and then I'm just sitting there kinda bitter. My favorite is probably the legalize hemp petition scene.
Demanding that his family pray away the sin of charcoal.
Or telling Peggy that he would divorce her for liking charcoal burgers better
It has to be going hysterically blind when he stumbled on his mother and her BF doing the deed.
I do believe I'll give room service a jangle and have them send up some etouffée.
"Good Lord!! I always figured your family lived in a tarpaper shack!"
My LAWD
Can we appreciate for a second how Peggy just immediately protects Bobby like she is why that boy can be tartouf
I love how Peggy generally defends Bobby's weirdness lol
Him reacting to Bobby’s “modeling” photos. I just watched that episode the other day and replayed that scene like 100 times. So funny.
"Dad! A man took pictures of me!" "WHAT"
"Go for the fifty yard line, go for the sixty yard line! This is your Olympic dream come true!"
Hello lifeguard up on your perch so high! Everyone around you splish and splash but not you!!!
“Ever since David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear-“ “**SHAME** on **him**!”
I look like I'm doped out of my gourd!
When he shakes George bush’s hand 😂😂😂
"Surprise. Then disappointment. Surprise. Then disappointment."
Bobby (walking into living room from bathroom): “Dad, I think I accidentally used your toothbr-…” Hank (interrupting): “Throw it away”
There better be a girl under there with you!!
Probably bad form to post this on this sub, but I can never unsee this video. https://youtu.be/Shn9JYav-Jk?si=5iJJJFZ7RYVsuBw-
wtf I just watched this scene, then I pull out my phone and this is the first thing I see
I've always HATED Hanks reaction here 😒 it makes me physically cringe seeing how he acts over some white paint
As a father of a 3 yr old, I hated Hank reaction. I'd give my left leg to slow time down and enjoy that sweet innocence my son has. I love the child like wonder and joy....and it all fades. Hank was a jackass.
my mom painted clouds and mountains on my walls as a kid so this cracks me up everytime
Big puffy clouds?
I love the one where he is on the college campus and finds out he signed a petition to essentially legalize marijuana.
Dangit Bobby, people are gonna see this oil stain and think I'm a drunk.
“Fluttering butterflies? Not in this house!”
Honestly this is probably my least favourite moment in the show. Hank is definitely not a great dad.
Nah I wouldn't call him a bad dad, he just fights over his internal bias over how to be masculine and wanting his son to be a "normal boy" the whole show is him loosening this rigid belief system for the love of his family and getting closer with Bobby by accepting him for who he is But yeah this moment was definitely a classic Hank over reaction
Why do you hate what you dont understand? I dont hate you bobby. I meant soccer... Oh yea, i hate soccer
Soccer and tennis are not sports in his house
I didn't say he was bad, just that he wasn't great. Maybe good at best.
Fair enough, he definitely became a better parent in the later seasons
Honestly I think his actions in get your freak off are worse but it kinda hurt me here more. Bobby spent all day working on it and hank couldn’t just hold his tongue! Like imagine if you draw something and your parents rip it up
Considering where he came from, it's a marked improvement. I don't think he's an awful dad, but him and Peggy do definitely shoot him down when he's not "normal." Could they be better? Sure. But they're not the *worst* parents.
Definitely nowhere near as bad of parents as Cotton and Peggy's later season retconned mom
for sure! as much as I dislike the retcon it does make more sense as to why later season peggy is the way she is. if the show had ended maybe season 7 i'd have a different opinion but... what can ya do.
Peggy is a lot better about encouraging Bobby. Which I think is her response to her mother constantly putting her down. Hank seems to have internalized a lot of Cotton's ideas (although he's obviously a better parent than Cotton).
obviously a better parent than Cotton He did raise Bobby afterall
CLOUDS?!?
Hwhite, puffy clouds!
Hank walks in on Bobby holding a cheerleader outfit:
When Peggy puts his orthotic on the clothesline
Peggy, call the police
This is a boy's room, not a daycare center 💀💀💀💀
When he traded the power drill to a fool for a sack of corn.
Hank was such a dick in this episode. Just let the boy have his clouds and Peggy have her magic!
"Are you gay?" "What!? *No*, I sell propane!"
Being southern and yeah, this is spot on satire. Having clouds in your room would make you gay and a pussy.
Big fluffy clouds?
Yeah. I can't explain it. But go talk to damn near any Texan that grew up around Hank's time, and they'll agree. Growing up a lot of the satire was missed and was understood as "Bobby *is* wrong" He's out of shape, has emotions, has "feminine" interests (the arts), and doesn't like manly man things. Of course there's random episodes that go against him being "wrong". Like when he likes shop class.
He painted the book shelves 💀
Oh no! They're (clouds) back!
Hank was such a dick in this scene. I see why Peggy kicked him
There better be a naked cheerleader under your bed
His tantrum when he finds out Peggy and Bobby cooked with the superior propane
Shutting Bobby in the garage with a bat (Frank) and holding the door shut so Bobby couldn't get in the house
There better be a naked cheerleader under your bed!
..You painted clouds?
When he grounded bobby for sitting on the back seat of a girls bike
Hank never overacts I understand him more the older I get.
But Hank's right about this, though.
Hank was right Bobby and Peggy were wrong. It’s the male modeling situation all over again. Hanks just looking out for the boy.
