Bill's inability to capitalize on chances to prosper and spread happiness is the core of his being though. That his family would specialize in enforcing that torment on him is appropriately in character, I think. I wouldn't disbelieve the assertion that Arlen itself is Purgatory.

Gilbert was right, anyway. Bill could pass the recipe on to Bobby without turning it into some capitalist whore show for Ted Wassanasong and that degenerate Buck Strickland. Then what, they're gonna cheap out on ingredients and totally abandon all the stuff like lighting the fire with a page of good news and make it another lovely sugar pumped sauce and that'll be what carries on the family name?

It's not Gilbert's fault Bill is a sad sack and can't find happiness except by random flights of fancy he loses interest in days later without caring about what he leaves behind him. Whatever happened to Laoma??? He doesn't care. He's dating a governor who is cool but his toxic rear end poo poo ex wife looks at him and he cheats.

gently caress Bill he's an entitled selfish piece of poo poo actually. The amount of stuff that Hank has to do to care for him constantly is out of control.

Bill has really bad depression and occasionally pulls himself out of it. Once the honey moon is over and he goes back to being a depressed mess he loses all interest and blames the new hobby on all his problems. He needs a therapist.

Yeah but there's depressed and there's giving everyone lice (as haljordan reminded me of) but then not even understanding why everyone got pissed off and whining about how everyone hates him.

Yeah, rear end in a top hat, now everyone has to deal with lice because you thought it'd be cool and good to give yourself lice and not tell anyone about it so you could chat some woman up. Did he ever apologize for that? Nope. He acted like a little baby so hard that Hank had to get arrested and then get some sketchy tattoo to get him to stop QQing and come home instead of going to prison for like 20+ years.

There's depressed and there's long time untreated borderline personality disorder. I guess yeah he does need a therapist but everyone else is a saint for putting up with him for so long.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

'I saw Bobby get up early for work today....not that I was watching your house or anything.'

Bill is meant to be totally unlikable and Hank's constant guilt-addled enablement destroys them both regularly.

I'm convinced that Bill is a pleaser with an obviously broken childhood experience. He's entirely capable and motivated when under an abusive influence, like his football coach, the army, his ex wife, Peggy or Hank, but without someone angry or disappointed at him he collapses with no internal motivation. If he could ever find self confidence, or at least lose his dependence on trying to please abusive people he would be fine. He won't, because he needs therapy and his enablers are conservative Texans who consider therapy to be hippy dippy voodoo woo.

You don't have to be crazy to talk to news to talk to someone. Depression and work anxiatity are the most common reasons and no one would classify either as crazy.

You can tell no one identifies with Boomhauer because he's satisfied with his life and has no outstanding personal issues to resolve. He's practically a Buddha compared to his neighbors.
