For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

As someone who gets on edge working on plasma TVs; Hank accidentally working on the CRT TV while it's plugged in made me cringe hard.

Peggy's home office being the utility closet is an awesome detail and makes me more sympathetic to her character.

That's only because that's where the computer was kept, because obviously the computer is a tool like the vacuum cleaner. It was that or the garage.

Hank would freak out if Peggy wanted her computer in the garage.

also the Fat and the Furious is pretty good where Peggy breaks bobby's artwork and stabs him with a pen to distract him from the fact that competitive food eating exists

and Dale's anger "Behold the great American fatass, gorging on the lips and anuses of his brethren! ", feautring Young Dale with social anxiety and kid rock for some stupid reason and the voice of whts his name from Curb Your Enthusiasm

Kid Rock was there because Pamela Anderson was there. She was there for some reason.

Hank playing the Grand Theft Auto: Arlen game and kinda getting into it was adorable.

The hot dog eating episode is among my least favorite episodes. It was a dumb fad.

I also hate the ZZ Top episode and Ms. Wakefield. Hank was completely reasonable in not wanting someone to die in his house, but everyone treated him like an rear end in a top hat

Agreed on both of these.

A lot of plots revolve around Bobby being impressionable and easily influenced by someone or something and Hank being against them or it, but Hank likes those characteristics of Bobby when he is the influencer!

What I'm saying is that in the long run reinforcing that behavior is going to lead to Bobby being a pretty hosed up adult. That boy ain't right, that man will be worse.

All children are impressionable, it's just who they impress themselves upon is the matter, it's every parent's worry about their kid idolising the wrong people and it's natural that parents want their kids to follow in their ways somehow. Let's not forget Hank is pretty hosed up mentally and has done his best to cope with a lovely overbearing father that pretty much killed any emotion in Hank other than pride and shame.

In fact there was an entire episode revolving around how Bobby thought his grandpa Cotton was really cool, and he was basically turning Bobby into a sexist brat smacking women's asses and being hugely disrespectful, which forced Hank to actually step in and stand up to his father to show Bobby how NOT to be that kind of person. Also a good moment for Peggy who pretty much despises Cotton rightfully and knew the early warning signs of what kind of man her son was gonna be if they allowed that sort of influence from Cotton.

Also let's not forget:

"Hank, this is Good Hank."
