Thread 213524381

Did Hank raise him right?

>>213524381 (OP)
he didn't become gay or transsexual so I guess yeah

Yes. He's not rotting away, seething and coping on anonymous mongolese clam scraping forums all day everyday

objectively no. He was raised republicuck

>>213524381 (OP)
>Age 21
For some reason, they made him high-average normie.

At 21, I had barely worked, let alone partnered a business. I had just lost my virginity, chatting for weeks to girls on dating sites. I was not bedding them within hours like Bobby.

Bobby's arc is like the high football player. Not the overweight effeminate kid. Feels forced but whatever.

>>213524381 (OP)
He's co-owner of a restaurant at 21 and has the work ethic required to make a go of it so, yeah. But anyone that saw the original series knew Hank raised him right.

it's a fucking cartoon no one raised anyone

He’s doing better at 21 than 90% of gen Zers. Probably because he’s an early millenial.

Obviously. He doesn't look up to e-celebs

Bobby is doing great. He wasn't raised by gen x trannies (see: zoomers)

>>213524812
I wouldn't say he's high-average just yet but he has the chance. He's wage-slaved for three years and seized an opportunity for success to co-own a restaurant but it's still a precarious position because he's forfeited a higher salary for points in the restaurant so he absolutely has to work hard to be successful. If the restaurant doesn't do well he'll back at square one, broke and have to move back in with his parents. Show could go in either direction but it would be nice to see Bobby succeed though there's plenty of potential with the other plot route.

>>213524788
>seething tranny

Hank was selling jeans at the mall at his age. He's done better than his dad so obviously yes

>>213524947
Koth has always been a feel-good show at heart. I hope it ends with Bobby owning a chain of restaurants and the finale should probably be him bringing his first kid home from hospital to his folks' house.

>>213524984
It has been but characters have hit hurdles along the way, Bobby included. Bobby failing at his first restaurant, or somehow getting screwed over by the Wassanasongs forcing him to leave, could end up being a great direction for the show with Bobby eventually finding success with another restaurant down the track.

>>213525054
Yeah there needs to be some hardship before the happiness, I just want them to be happy.

Cotton couldn't break him. Bobby always had that dog in him.

>>213524970
minus the seething part, how did you know?

>>213524984
The show ending with Bobby starting a family is the only natural ending.

>>213525104
He inherited his grandaddy's stubbornness.

>>213525078
I think they will be in the end. Aside from some assorted faggotry the reboot seems to understand the show's audience and the sort of thing they want and expect from the show.

If you actually watch KOTH you’d see Bobby succeeds despite Hank with an alternate sense of masculinity that Hank never understands

>>213525188
Hank still instilled practical moral values in Bobby. You see this when he is disgusted at the idea of Connie being in an open relationship.

>>213524381 (OP)
Don't spam jewish shit.

>>213525254
>he thinks Mike Judge is Jewish

Bobby is by far the most interesting character in the revival. He's surprisingly respectfully written. He's not an idiot, he is hard working and level headed. I honestly thought they'd make him a gag character.

>>213525181
I was really worried it would be total globohomo shit but it was actually OK. Some annoying parts but hopefully just teething issues.

Didn't he come live with his parents in Saudi? Bobby already had a restaurant when the Peggy and Hank returned to Texas, does that mean they just left Bobby in Texas with someone else?

>>213525188
Hank barely understands masculinity himself.

>>213525483
They haven't covered it yet but presumably when he turned 18 he returned to America. Hank's initial contract may have only been for a few years but ended up getting extended. We see them try and extend it again once he's returned to the US.

>>213525562
How the fuck did he get money, experience or anything in under 3 years to own a restaurant?

So Bobby didn't go to college? I feel like that is something Hank would've pushed on him being a boomer and all.

>>213525606
He's worked at restaurants in various jobs for three years. I think he mentions being a sous chef at his last job. He's learned how things operate.
He doesn't have the money for it, he has a 15% stake in the restaurant which he got by forfeiting a higher salary. The Wassanasongs are the primary owners.

>>213525645
Hank has never, ever pushed Bobby towards college.

>>213524970
>t. pedophile

>>213525701
Honestly insanely based. College is the biggest meme going.

>>213525738
There's nothing wrong with college in theory, higher education can be a wonderful thing, it's just that the idea that everyone should go to college is retarded and by turning it into a business they've diminished the quality of education offered.

>>213525836
Society still shuns people that forego a higher education.

>>213524381 (OP)
>21
I thought he would be older in the new series. 21 you're still a kid. Yet another reason not to watch it I suppose.

>>213525860
as they should, most of you are morons

>>213524381 (OP)
>fat
No.

Bobby is a gary stu. The writers don't understand that an important part of the formula that worked is that bobby is supposed to work as a foil, or source of conflict, for hank most of the time. They turned the show like half into some gay drama.

>>213525867
>21 you're still a kid
What did you grand and great parents do when they were 21? They weren't kids at that age, they were adults. Same now, people just act infantile when they're actual adults.

>>213525860
Yeah, which KotH addresses. It's a societal expectation that's been built in but I see it eventually being reversed. I see new videos of people talking about their college regret virtually every day on twitter now. Most seem to come from tiktok so I imagine that's flooded with them.

>>213525891
this is the stupidest argument for so many reasons it's laborious to list them here.

The only bit I liked was that how zoomers want their beer to taste nothing like beer and make it all fancy, while boomers just want the most cheap and awful tasting stuff.
They didn't need a full episode for that tho.

>>213524381 (OP)
Haven't seen the show
But judging by the people he's based on
No
Bobby will have diabetes by 3o

I was surprised they made him a foot loper. But it's Texas and that's pretty common for people his size

>>213525887
>characters must stay exactly the same and show no signs of development at all as they age

>>213525872
The dumbest people I have ever met are college educated. Your intelligence is a stat that's rolled on birth.

>>213525872
>You should be shunned by society for not committing to sixty thousand dollars or more worth of debt when you're 18, have little to no idea of what you want to do in the future, and are entering a job market that's not only highly saturated but where wages have stagnated and thousands of roles are at threat of by being replaced by AI within a decade

>>213525867
Realistically he should be about 29 since Good Hank is 15. But I guess they didn't want to jump past his early adult years since it's formative, and Bobby is the main focus of the revival.

>>213525966
>dramatically exaggerates to justify his inadequacy
ooof

That boy ain't right. That boy... is incorrect. He is flawed.

>>213525959
That isn't true, but whatever helps you cope

>>213525931
The hell is a "foot loper"?

>>213526008
I have a college degree. That doesn't make the idea that everyone should any less retarded.

>>213526008
He's right.

>>213525891
Phil Leotardo's brother Billy was still a kid at age 46.

>>213525959
>people dumber than me managed to get credentials so credentialism is kaput
>too dumb to know that he’s too dumb for the credential in the first place
>never read the fox and the grapes because dumb

>>213526031
Literally nobody said everybody should have a degree. No idea why you’re so fixated on something I didn’t say

>>213525982
No, it's just a pedantic corporates decision execs made because they believe it will draw in new demographics. Cashgrab shit.

was the reboot a one and done deal?

>>213526053
Because this tangent started by discussing people being shunned for foregoing higher education which suggests everyone should attend college. Why are you being deliberately obtuse?

>>213526119
There's a lot more story to tell, the ratings by critics and audiences seem uniformly high so unless the audience numbers turn out to be dogshit there will almost certainly be at least one more season.

>>213524882
>e-celebs
They're called incels now (internet celebrities)

>>213526028
In Texas about 25% of the adult population will lose a foot to diabetes by the age of 40 in the next ten years
Hence feet being lopped off. Texas is like Somalia but with 100 billionaires and centi millionaires

It's basically third world minus the rich

>>213526273
>lose a foot to diabetes
Holy based

>>213524381 (OP)
I think so, yes. He seems to be the most moral, level-headed, and respectable of every character that was his age. I would be proud if my son turned out like Bobby.

>>213524381 (OP)
it sucks see fucking bobby hill being a better adult than me

>>213526306
I'm imagining a split culture between the one foot mobility scooter population and two feet normies. "Get outta here two footers" they'd say to themselves out loud.

In reality, Bobby would be a NEET who spams /gif/ with BWC threads all day

>>213526435
the show suck cause the world has moved on 10 years while bobby barley got older.

>Hank married his high school sweetheart and stayed with her his whole life
Bros...

>>213526651
It literally makes no sense. If Bobby's 21 that would mean they were only gone a couple of years, Hank and Peggy couldn't be that out of touch with everything.

>>213526765
He married a girl who was EXACTLY like his mom...

I mean WTF?!

>>213526273
I haven't watched any of the new episodes yet. Are you saying Bobby had a foot amputated? Holy shit

>>213526838
Peggy isn't really anything like Tilly.

>>213526765
Peggy literally fucks a guy to try and convert him from gay to straight before she met Hank.

>>213526651
Would Bobby having been an adult during the Party Rock Anthem era really matter

>>213526815
Bobby was 13 in season 13

>>213526008
I have a master's degree and got a good job from it, but he's right. Many people with degrees are fucked. I even saw a recent study that shows the unemployment rate of people with and without degrees is equal right now. Basically all software development jobs, number and mathematical analysis, systems management, and jobs that require a lot of computer work are extremely threatened by AI. I got lucky and picked a career working with kids and most kids want to work with people in person, so my job can't easily be replaced with AI. Tons of college people are not going to see a return of their investments and will locked in student loan debt for life.

>>213526938
So Bobby would be near 30

Why did Cotton love Bobby so much anyways?

>>213527132
Considering GH is 15. Yes.

>>213526925
Would bobby being 30 and owning a restaurant make any difference?

>>213524812
this. it seemed way more likely Bobby would be even fatter and a loser.

>>213527178
I can't remember seeing my grandfather and my father ever even having a conversation and yet my grandfather loved me and my sister, especially my sister. I think it's a greatest generation thing.

he raised him right but that boy still ain't right

>>213527299
No it didn't.

Bobby always had a weird confidence about him. Sort of like Peggy but not nearly as annoying

>>213527112
>I got lucky and picked a career working with kids
kek

>>213527299
Nah. Bobby was strange but he always showed he had talents and work ethic.

>>213527373
Peggy is annoying because she's actually really stupid but has a ton of self confidence with it.

>>213527178
>Good at shooting
>Looks like Cotton (Hank looks like his mom who Cotton hates)
>Unbreakable spirit (Cotton even tries to break him and fails)
>Makes Hank frustrated
>Gets girlfriends easily
>Is outgoing and likeable just like Cotton
>Isn't scared of Cotton

Makes sense to me.

>>213527486
She's just an insecure narcissist like her mother.

>>213527289
It would make more sense and it did seem like that in the preview s before it aired. Or at least mid or late 20s.
It feels like a last minute change but ehh not that. If a deal.

>>213527407
Cope all you want, but I own a house, several cars, have no debt including student loans, tons of paid vacation, get insurance and dental for me and my family, and basically get paid to play games all day.

>>213527528
>can shoot

>>213524812
>>213527299
Bobby was always an exceptional kid, he was just exceptional in ways that Hank found difficult to appreciate. He was fat and effeminate, but also unshakeably confident, curious, ambitious, and good natured.

>>213525891
Exactly.
At 21, our grandparents were already married, raising kids, running a household, or fighting in a war. They didn’t have the luxury of prolonged adolescence. Bills had to be paid, responsibilities met, and nobody cared if they “weren’t ready.”

Now? Half of 21-year-olds are still living at home, binging Marvel movies, gaming 8 hours a day, and “finding themselves” through endless brunches and TikToks. The difference isn’t biology, it’s culture. We’ve traded responsibility for comfort, swapped real world pressure for entertainment, and normalized being a perpetual teenager. Raise the stakes like past generations faced and people would grow up fast, but right now the stakes are as low as the attention spans.

>>213526038
lmao

>>213527178
Bobby is unafraid to be himself and questions things. I think it's pretty obvious that while Hank became who he is as a result of Cotton's abuse, it still turned Hank into someone Cotton couldn't really respect. Cotton does whatever he wants and lives by his own code, Hank follows established boomer attitudes of masculinity and traditionalism that Cotton himself never really believed in.

>>213526273
This is not even remotely true.

>>213527178
Hank viewed Bobby as being a little effeminate and "queer" (in the actual sense rather than gay). Cotton viewed Hank as ironically a little effeminate for having a stick up his ass. Cotton saw Bobby as having balls

>>213527486
She's just a textbook NPD case but with much less "vitriol" than the real cases - it's probably that her actual core personality is ironically relatively "humble" (deep down) that the depths of her delusions are kept in check to "student teacher and excellent Spanish speaker" and she's not actually nasty at her core. This is honestly why she's so fucking annoying though because she's basically everyone's pain in the ass mom/wife

>>213524381 (OP)

>gynocentric
>woke

This show is awful

>>213528257
This is it. Honestly pretty great writing.

Cotton was often just mean to Hank for no reason, but he saw through his "always do the right thing" schtick. Thought he was too much of a rule follower.

Neither character is quite right. But Bobby turned out the best because he saw how the community respected Hank in his way, and how Cotton moved confidently through life his way.

>>213526435
Yep, modern day Bobby would've fallen off after middle school, wound up a recluse in high school once girls stopped being charmed by his boyish exuberance and instead thought "ewww why is he so fat and goofy," and be a 30something coddled by his mother while posting on the internet about how he "could have" had the cute Asian girl for a wife had somethingsomething not happened but instead he's resigned to jerking off to photos of her at the beach with her husband

>>213528722
Hank is who he is because of Cotton's continuous abuse and neglect. He pursues constant stability because Cotton wouldn't stop being a selfish cunt for long enough to take care of him. A lot of The Greatest Generation came home and did exactly that. No desire to be a parent but the Baby Boom happened. Bobby is more like Cotton because Hank is like Hank, Cotton tried to make a copy of himself but gave him nothing to work with, Hank gave Bobby a real home. Even Cotton gives Hank the better parent award for free.

>>213529292
I was expecting it to be a lot worse, honestly.

He just didn't do enough to sound like the original character. Probably out of fear of perpetuating some sort of racial stereotype... but Kahn has a goofy voice with an inflection that swings wildly. Just being an "asian guy" wasn't the appeal of the character.

There were a few points in the reboot where Ronnie did fall into character, but not enough.

>>213529436
I mean story wise it makes sense.

Hank, Peggy, and Bobby moved to Saudi Arabia for Hanks Job.
Cultural shock of moving + having to evolve quickly + benefits of education via job position (from Hank). Bobby actually was put in a position that was uniquely not forced, but also not realistic either.
It makes complete sense he didn't end up a complete loser. It's still plot armor.

I was a fucking loser until I moved, leaving behind my friends and everything tying me down. I was forced to be a new person.

>>213529524
I thought Bobby stayed in Texas while Hank fucked Arab bussy

>>213527597
I do certainly wonder if at some point the revival were meant to be set around the current year with the characters roughly retaining their original birthyears (maybe both exactly, but something like Bobby being in his 30s with Hank and Peggy being in their mid/late 60s). Even in his new design Bobby looks far more like a mid 30s millennial than a 21 year old zoomer, which they even kinda joked about with that one college kid thinking Bobby was 30

>>213529567
The intro indicates he left with them.

>>213525966
Your forgetting the best part, it’s $60k minimum PLUS TIP to go to a college that no one will ever give a shit about you having gone to, and will not help you get a job in your field. It’s more like $300k to go to an actually halfway decent school for 4 years and the required masters degree if you want to do anything with your little piece of paper

>>213525181
It’s the only reboot that I can remember that besides a few hiccups really captured the spirit and charm of the original and feels like an authentic continuation of the world and characters.

>>213528805
Works on my machine.

Every generation has winners and losers.

You simple don’t play the game very well.

>>213527764
And the funny thing is, a lot of it is celebrated. We’ve got avocado toast millennials proudly posting their $18 breakfasts while still living in their childhood bedrooms, convinced they’re “adulting” because they paid a phone bill. Meanwhile, past generations were building families, careers, and homes by that age. Comfort culture has replaced responsibility, and entertainment has replaced ambition. Raise the stakes, and you’d see maturity happen overnight.

Cry harder. Life isn’t fair, it never was. Past generations didn’t sit around whining about the economy, they adapted and survived. You can have all the degrees in the world, but if your biggest skill is complaining on the internet while eating overpriced avocado toast, it’s worthless. Git gud. There are no participation trophies in real life, every generation has winners and losers. Step up, put down the latte, and get in the game or get left behind.

>Is Bobby a virgin?
No.

>>213536514

>>213532543
They kind of need to explain all that. Did he just turn up back in Arlen and go to Chane and say "can your family give me money for a restaurant?". How did he reconnect with Chane, who bullied him in school and not Connie?

>>213531800
>>213532543
This whole Saudi Arabia thing is still so implausible to me. Okay, Hank somehow got this opportunity, even though he only has just a little bit more than a basic understanding of how propane should be handled.
