Imagine if you had Hank Hill for a father


My sympathies. Poor Bobby. Every dream and desire he had, Hank crushed.

And Hank tried to force Bobby into sports.

I would have loved it. Hank has great morality and was always looking out for his boy even when Bobby didn't know better. Look at the episode where Bobby wanted to be a plus-sized model. Hank knew what was going to happen. He loved Bobby more than anything.

My "Dad" was Hank to the extreme, except if we did something wrong he would smash me and my siblings personal property.

Because a rotting undead corpse is probably a better choice than most politicians

I think Hank was a great father. Sure he could be stuck in his ways most of the time, but he was able to tell when he was wrong and correct accordingly.

Peggy does this too.

Mayeb it would suck if you had season 1 Hank, but what makes this show so great is that the characters developed. Hank has shiwn himself to be a great father many a time, far more than Kahn or Dale.

reply

Kahn and Dale--and even Lucky--were all devoted fathers, although none of then could be trusted to raise a child singlehandedly. Time and again Hank is forced to step in to help each of them in a parental matter; can you imagine the situation being reversed? Example after example reveals Hank's superior parenting skills, even its due to him being the only one in his universe with any common sense.

Even Bill probably would have been a great dad, providing he the right woman by his side, and Boomhauer would have been a natural, had he opted for that life.

All the guys appear to have been influenced by their own *beep* dads, although Kahn's father sounded like a decent enough guy. Nonetheless, his approach to raising Connie seems to be a constant effort to impress his father-in-law; is he merely filling the void created by his own fathers' death?

We don't know much about Boomhauer's upbringing. Is his lifestyle a product of withheld affection, overindulgence or something else entirely?

reply

I'd much rather have Hank for a dad than Peggy for a mom.

It could be worse (having Dale as a dad)

You're standing on my neck
