There’s a treasure trove of pop culture dads ready to step in. Let’s explore some of the most intriguing fiction-fathers out there, shall we?
The Eternal Astronaut: Homer Simpson
Who wouldn’t want a father with the wildest life experiences? Homer Simpson, from The Simpsons, boasts some wild credentials—astronaut, barbershop quartet star, and, yes, the inventor of grunge. But as much as you can win a "two truths and a lie" game with this guy, be warned: that infamous strangling incident was not a one-off. So, keep an eye on him!
Uncle Phil: The Ultimate Stand-in Dad
If you’re looking for a father figure who’ll always have your back, look no further than Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He’s the one you turn to when your biological dad skips town. Just be ready for The Dreaded Carlton—you know the dance!
A Different Kind of Dad: Tár
Now, let’s flip the script with a non-traditional dad: from the movie Tár. If you’re into gaming, there’s a dad who knows the creators behind Monster Hunter. While she might sprinkle some accents into your name during your discourse, that quirky style is just part of the charm.
