My daughter's school just launched a mindfulness room with mindfulness education, basic CRT-stuff.
So I wrote a quick script to spoof a number and call the school with Dale's message to Peggy 5 times a day every day.

Teaching about tube tvs so they don't get clowned on by old people. Also VCR/VHS, floppy disks and rotary phones. It's all here in my youtube channel

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

They never implied she cheated on Cotton (though she absolutely should have.) She wasn't married to Gary, but she did cheat on him with Chuck. That whole episode's resolution was that she wasn't exactly the saint that Hank had remembered her as.

Rewatched the barber episode, never caught before that when Bill mentions Hank having a scar behind his left ear it’s a callback to an earlier scene of Cotton nicking child Hank’s head when he’s doing his terrible helmet haircuts.

I grew up around the area KOTH takes place in, and I'm not sure how you could do a reboot while ignoring things like how dale would 100% be into qanon.

Every part of Dale is already scrubbed of the ps. It's the Jews parts of conspiracy culture so you'd just have Dale be really into something equivalent to all the funny parts of Qanon.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Dale would reject Q-Anon for being amateurish and contradicting his own conspiracies but Peggy (and maybe Bill) would be loving pilled to the gills

The primary joke of Dale is predicated on the idea that conspiracy mongers are generally harmless, and I don't know if that's a premise for a joke that works so well these days, especially if they go Q anon with him. I suppose they'll have to continue to have it so that his deal is still far too niche to be a threat.

The secondary joke of Dale is that for all his conspiracy theories he can't see what's right in front of his face, in terms of his family. That still has legs.

If they make Dale be into conspiracies in the same way he'd have a rant about how certain supposed government agents posting on certain message boards about certain billionaire businessmen and Benghazi are all a distraction organized by Bob Arum.

Yeah they didn't know how to handle Dale post-9/11 like that weird Dale to the Chief ep when he became a super-patriot and it hasn't aged well. Maybe they'll focus on his UFO beliefs? That would be mostly fine as it wouldn't involve real life cults or political violence.

It's weird seeing characters like Ron Swanson knowing real life small town libertarians who drink a lot of whiskey and knowing that the "gruff but lovable" part doesn't hold up when healthcare comes up and they give their opinion of the 2008-2016 president and you never want to talk to them again.

Back when Dale was first written, the internet was just getting started as a mainstream thing and "conspiracy dudes" were largely of the black helicopter/JFK/UFO variety and mostly laughed at as harmless idiots, not elected to congress and hosting highly rated news channels.

It’s literally in the first episode/scene where Dale says he reads newsgroups like alt.conspiracy.black.helicopters or something like that.

Then he tells Hank to remove all the smog stuff from his engine and Hank counters that it helps reduce emissions for cleaner air.
“How can you be against cleaner air, Dale?”

Right, that's what I was gesturing towards in the clause after the one you bolded. It worked, once, because of the situation being like you described. It just doesn't work anymore because times changed.

He did give up smoking for an episode to take up chewing tobacco but found it distasteful so he came up with an innovative way of consuming it by putting it in some rolled up newspaper, lighting the end on fire, and inhaling the smoke.

The only way dale is still alive is if he just gets out of prison for releasing classified info on Area 51 cause he guessed a blank password on a govt website and was slapped with a felony.
This allows the audience to watch dale discover all the qanon / pizzagate stuff in real time.

Also he’s super ripped now.

Dale reminds me of Trevor from this classic article that was a big sensation in its time

https://bostonreview.net/articles/jonathan-m-metzl-dying-whiteness/

quote:

Even on death’s doorstep, Trevor was not angry. In fact, he staunchly supported the stance promoted by his elected officials. “Ain’t no way I would ever support Obamacare or sign up for it,” he told me. “I would rather die.” When I asked him why he felt this way even as he faced severe illness, he explained: “We don’t need any more government in our lives. And in any case, no way I want my tax dollars paying for Mexicans or welfare queens.”

Tell me honestly you couldn't imagine those quotes in Dale's voice
