Dale's parenting skills seem to vary wildly between episodes. Sometimes he's a good dad, others he drives Joseph away by convincing him he's an alien or makes up a "smoking bandit" character to win Joseph's respect.

Even while inconsistent characterisation is a regular theme with KotH, I'd say that fits. Dale is, as mentioned, incredibly passionate and driven when he's actually paying attention, but that energy doesn't necessarily go in a positive direction. Apparently the episode where he ends up in an asylum has the doctor suggest he keeps taking his medication, and I get the feeling Dale understands on some level he's genuinely got mental issues.

I like the part at the end when he snaps the pill in half and seems to be angry, but immediately perks up and follows it with "Easier to swallow!" I dunno why, that's just always been one of my favorite gags. Of course, nothing can top "Did you just say 'Go mom?' Now who's crazy."

I find these episodes centering on Bobby's comedy annoying. the radio clowns, Propaniacs, Chris Rock, etc. the episode with the turmoil between Dale, Dale's wife and Redcorn is all-time great episode imo. perfect example of why the show is good. the writers are interested and thoughtful enough about the characters to explore them and break the status quo, at least for a bit.

Yes one of the s13 plots has Dale so traumatized by Joseph being romantic with a girl it sends him over the edge. Reminds me a little of Hank going blind from shock after catching his mom and her boyfriend getting freaky.

Revival Dale is medicated and his having to navigate the US medical system has him now hating and distrusting the government for entirely valid reasons.

Its a shaggy dog story of a bit that was probably thought of as funny because it kept cropping up a lot in lots of places. The guy even had his own disco record. He was the Steamed Hams of his day. Of course Steamed Hams wont ever die because it is timeless and funny. I will gladly purchase my Steamed Hams disco record when the time comes.

If you don’t have a basement how will you build a tunnel?? It was honestly probably added intentionally as a fallout bunker or if the house was built in the 60s built as a potential fallout shelter and the basement was the reason dale bought it.
