Who is the best dad?

Hank
Hank is most relatable. Randy is funniest. Bob is the most charming.

Pickle Rick
Not exactly a dad but
Hank = Bob > Stan > Homer > Randy > Peter
The last two regularly put their kids in harm's way.

Homer is better than Hank. They're all better than Hank.
Hank is probably the biggest piece of shit ever. "Hurr, me learn realistic and naturalistic lesson dis week. Woops, me forget next week but lets pretend we still realistics."

believe that Hank Hill is one the most complex and realistic characters in Animation. Although on the surface he appears to be nothing more than a redneck, if you actually watch the show and read between the lines, he's a lot more.
Hank Hill, and by extension King of The Hill as a whole, is at its core about showing that one group is not always right, and one group is not always wrong. It's not just blind Liberal bashing by some angry Texans, or angsty Liberal bawwing like Family Guy, it's somewhere in the middle.
Hank is a man who represents traditional family values. He works a just-above blue collar job, has an ugly wife, and a kid he fails to understand. He enjoys working on his lawn, grilling, and selling propane (and propane accessories).
because he represents traditional values, he often butts heads with newer, more liberal ideas. Now about half the time, he will have a hard time adjusting, but ultimately realize that it isn't that bad, or is even correct. But the other half of the time, he exposes it for the bullshit it is and tries to save those who have been brainwashed.
And that's the thing, Hank isn't a racist or Homophobe, or even a devout Republican. If that was the point of the show, he would have voted for Bush in that one episode. No, Hank is a good man who just has a hard time adjusting.
Hank stands by his family, his friends, and his family values, and this is why he is a good character. He has a hard time understanding his son, like a lot of parents, but ultimately loves him and accepts him for what he is.
When you really get down to it, Hank is so much more than your average sitcom father. Unlike the bumbling Homer, he is a very real man who many people can relate to THEIR fathers. he is the next progression in mature cartoons and sitcoms, a complex character, not a 1 dimensional caricature.
In short, he is the Average Joe the typical person represents, and that's a good thing.

randy
every other dad in that least raised useless overweight retards, social pariah autists, or sadistic prodigies who don't seem to realize fucking over their own family might not be the best for them.
Randy's kids are both mostly on the level
>>86000452
Hank is the only one whose sole purpose isn't to be retarded incompetent TV dad
>>86000452
Hank and Bob are the only ones that aren't the stereotypical "lovable oaf." Hank is much more disciplined and orderly so he wins easily
>>86000452
Bob.
>>86001216
Fuck no. Randy is a alcoholic retard. His kids are fucked up too. Shelly is a bitch and Stan is a cynical asshole with addiction issues who only comes across as levelheaded because the rest of the world becomes retarded when the plot demands for it.
>>86001309
but who makes better burgers?
Bob. Other than Hank, the rest have devolved into terrible human beings.
Bob seems like a pretty good dad
Bob's the most normal with Hank coming up short due to his strange embarrassment parenting. The others don't count.
>>86001830
randy is a retard yes, but shelly is basically normal except for being a cunt to stan. Stan is fucked up, but the fact hes functional at all puts him above every other kid from the list.
>>86001021
Good post, I got a lot from that. Thank you.
>>86003141
The kids from Bob's burgers are more functional desu. Stan is destined to only get worse due to all the shit he faces and having retards as parents. Shelly is only normal because she hardly gets screen time. The kids from Bob's burgers seem to be reasonably normal and fit in desite their quirks (and one case of autism).

Louise,Gene and Tina are all pretty talented too and Bob is the most consistently supportive father.
