How would Hank Hill react, if bobby was gay?

[miraclefan]

Just figured I ask the question. I've been watching KOTH on adult swim from the begining & Hank seams to just really dissapointed with bobby all the time, so I wonderd how would he react if bobby just came out and said, Dad...I'm gay! how do you think he'd react? I think he'd have a heart attack! (By the way, I don't think bobby is gay, he's just not right!)

Hanks Republican brain washed mind would collapse in disapointment and rage.

 

[CaptainCanada]

"That boy ain't right."

 

[Alpha_Geek]

Hmmm... Maybe he'd go Cotton on Bobby, make Peggy have a new boy he'd insist on naming "GB" (Good Bobby)?

Dale would claim it was flouridated water, and put Bobby and Joseph on spring water.

Boomhauer would just say Heyman,youdoyourownthangandI'lldomyowndangolthing.Itaintnothingbutathang,man.

Hank would most definitely have a heart attack.

But when he got out of the ICU, he would eventually accept it. He'd never LIKE it, but he'd learn to accept it. Hank's a good man; he'd learn to deal.

He'd still try to hide it from the neighbors, though.

Beat me to it.

what she said, but it'sclear now that Bobby is not gay, just kinda...innocent, it's funny that in the end, Hank's fears of Bobby's homosexuality, and Bobby's "not right" actions were/are a direct result of Hank's parenting methods

Bobby isn't gay? What show am I watching then?

Or perhaps its a result of how Hank himself was parented. That is to say, his own fears and biases aside, he worried himself twice over with concern about how Cotton would rip him, for having a gay son.

Cotton : Dammit! I failed you entirely, but I still kept you on the right track. That boy was the only good thing you ever made, and you even done that wrong!

Plus, remember, Bobby does jump into every last fad whole-hog, so miscues were bound to occur. Being gay doesn't mean that you'll be flamboyant, but Bobby is exactly that, sexuality aside. If its stamp collecting, he'll eat 100 goldfish to get that upside-down plane one. If its the harpsichord, he'll stay up 3 days in a row watching 'The Addams Family' to study Lurch's technique. I'm certain Hank has had his worries, being who he is. But 'That Boy Ain't Right' proceeds from a lot more than just latent homophobia.

 

[miraclefan]

^WOW didn't think about that.

which, once again can be atributed to how Hank has raised him, Bobby lacks the street smarts that most other people have because of Hank's strictness

 

[miraclefan]

^Agreed! Hank is just waaaayyyy to strict!

 

[Gojirob]

Oh, I have no doubt that Hank helped feed this syndrome. And Peggy too.

 

[Sephiroth]

I have a feeling that Mike Judge has written up a pretty comprehensive charater "bible" because, other than a few lapses, most of the charaters have been fairly consistant, and the question of Bobby being a team player or not was answered with the introduction of Connie

 

[Super Grover]

Bobby isn't gay? What show am I watching then?

you probably have him mistaken for Stewie.


I think Hank would be disappointed, Peggy would sort of be ok with it. They would probably handle it better than Homer or Peter Griffin.

 

[paudemge]

We know Bobby isn't gay, if anything he is girl crazy, just not as much as Joseph.
But if he was, I'm not sure Hank would ever acknowledge it, he never acknowledge that cross dresser who befriended Peggy. He would probably just say 'all right then' and go on like it was never mentioned.

 

[jep316]

Hank is not a Archie Bunker....he may be conservative and would be very unconformable with Bobby being gay but he wouldn't disown him...just like he wouldn't try to run any Gay couple off if they moved into the neighborhood.(that would be a good episode).

Funny of his 3 buddies Dale would give Hank the least grief..after all his dad is gay and his gun club has a gay member.

 

[Gojirob]

Dale : Hank, you've got to accept him!

Hank : Well, if I accepted you, and didn't kill you after blowing up my shed, and if I've accepted Bill, and didn't kill him after the power trip he went on during the flood--well, I will accept Bobby. But I'm throwing the two of you the hell out!

 

[Emher]

I'd imagine it would be "What in the hell, boy?!" followed by something.
