Of all the weird poo poo Bobby was into, that Hank didn't understand, getting busted in a girl's room half naked was something Hank could wrap his head around and consider the actions of a "normal" teenage boy. v  v

He let's out a gigantic sigh of relief on that one. He for sure thought Bobby was gay.

I see your point, but somehow I don't think he would have reacted the same way if it had been Joseph's room. I think Hank thinks gay people are, in his own words from another episode, "horribly wrong". It's very blatant. Again, not to say we can't enjoy this media from the past, because it has the good taste to remain in the past. Ahem.

Hank walked into a gay rodeo and it didn't even cross his mind until he saw Dale's dad kiss his boyfriend. I think Hank is just incredibly naive about homosexuality. Also his bowling nickname that he absolutely loved, "Flamer."

I think Hank Is a good dad. Bobby being gay would be hard for hank in that he would have to change his parenting tactics supremely and change is not his forte. Every time bobby does something not like his childhood is another curveball thrown at him. He knows hes gonna stumble with bobby which is why he gets excited when bobby shows interest in things he likes. Finally that boy threw me an easy one.

Hank definitely would end up being fine with Bobby being gay if that were the case. If anything I'd imagine an episode where Bobby gets a more masculine boyfriend and Hank loves him and then gets hurt when they break up etc

I also want to point out that it's a private moment- Hank waited until he was alone to show his relief. It walks a really fine line where, I agree, Hank is a good dad. He would have still loved Bobby, he's glad he doesn't have to do it the hard way now. It's still f'd up but everyone being f'd up somehow is one of the show's moral hinges, so I think it works. For the early 00's at least.

Code Jockey posted:Hell yes it does, sign me up. What annoys me most about Buck has nothing to do with Buck himself, but that Hank's interactions with him are wildly inconsistent. In one episode Hank will be well aware of Buck's sleaziness and does his best to mitigate that to keep the business above board, and the next Hank will be completely oblivious to the fact Buck is anything other than an honest and hard-working businessman.

It's interesting how Hank sometimes calls his boss "Buck," and other times, "Mr. Strickland." In a way, he feels (or wants to feel) close to Buck, but also wants to show respect by acknowledging his authority.

In the episode Khan gets fired you get to see his physique when Hank finds him in the gas station bathroom. Later on Minh credits him with having great abs. Granted he could have started working out. Otherwise though its something that's always bothered me. TheKingslayer fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Nov 7, 2018 |

At one point Hank congratulates Bobby on putting out his first Buck Strickland fire, and says it’ll only take him a couple hundred more until he catches up. Both of Hank’s dads are sleazes, and he is blind to it... while also firmly believing that his mom is an idiot. It’s no wonder he’s an emotional wreck. He can only cry over his truck, which is the Charlotte Heston to his Ethan Hawke.
