Some we don't. You like shaving your armpits, Hayley? 'Cause if the terrorists take over this country, that's the first thing to go. Welcome to watchmojo.com, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 cartoon dads from TV. Yabba-dabba-doo!! Number ten. Bob Belcher, "Bob's Burgers." Tina, you're on the grill. My crotch is itchy. Oh! Okay, now your telling me this is my daughter or my grill cook? He may actually be the most normal and stable cartoon dad in the bunch. But normal is a relative term! He looks like a child molester. Louise don't serve him, let Gene bring it. Uh, Bob..... Why do I have to get molested? Because he's not gonna molest you. Why? Because your heavy. The long-suffering owner of Bob's Burgers, Mister Belcher does his best, or at the very least makes an effort when it comes to running his family. Oh my god! Huh, I know. It's a cow. You know what, you won't even know it's here. He gets very little respect from his kids and clients, but can always count on some comfort from his loyal and loving wife Linda. And Linda, I'm sorry I called you a nag at the Christy. I was in the heat of the moment, it was really dumb. Oh, thank you Bobby. Let America do better. Number nine. Papa Smurf, "The Smurfs." Over 500 years young, Papa Smurf is always there to lend a helping hand or to dispense much needed advice to the Smurf population. To ensure his blue friends live in peace, Big Papa often uses a little touch of magic. How does it work? But even with the daunting task of running a town full of bumbling Smurfs, (Yoo-hoo!) (Ouch! Ouch!) (Woo!) (Woops!) this wise elder doesn't regret his role as patriarch, and that makes him one of the most devoted cartoon Dads. How wonderful that my little Smurfs get all so well together. Number eight. Sir Nigel Archibald Thornberry, "The Wild Thornberrys." The king of beasts, the lion, known to local tribesmen as...... Certainly one of the coolest cartoon Dads, Nigel is a globe-trotting wildlife documentarian who brought his family along for the adventure. Completely oblivious, only in the way Dad's can be, Nigel doesn't seem to realize that his daughter has the ability to converse with animals. So what now? We do what we Thornberrys do best. Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Nonetheless he proves to be a caring and attentive father when the occasion arises, and a charming oddball even in the face of danger. No sweat! Easy come, easy go. You, you speak...... I mean, you speak English. Number seven. Stan Smith, "American Dad!" Osama is that you? Gee, Stan, what gives? Holy Toledo! You killed your son's dog. Perhaps not the likeliest person to win "Father of the Year." Ouh Dad, get off me. Stan is highly focused on his career with the CIA. His father planted drugs on without him knowing. He has no proof. I've got his confession on tape, I was wearing a wire. Why were you wearing a wire? I always wear a wire. With two kids who don't particularly respect him, and an adopted alien who has nothing but contempt for him, Stan is a good old-fashioned Republican patriarch who sees his family as an occasional annoyance. Impulsive, manly, and radical as they come, (Wait, you gotta believe me.) (I don't know how that pot got in my van.) Stan Smith is the embodiment of the American dream. Sort of. But..... You! Sack up and eat your wife's grub. Number six. Randy Marsh, "South Park." Well-meaning but sometimes ignorant, Randy Marsh is a relatively devoted father to Stan and Shelley. While his drinking occasionally gets him into trouble, (What the heck is this?) Randy's PhD in geology means he's often asked to solve situations he knows nothing about. Which cord is it? You decide this, jackass. Like stopping a volcanic eruption, (Oh my god!) (A volcano!) or burrowing through legions of hippies. The drill is getting too hot from all the hippies. But whether he's teaching Stan about puberty, (But Stanley you can't let them get in the way of your friends) (There a lot of boobs out there son,) (but they're just boobs, your friends are forever.) or taking an active interest in his hobbies, (Hang on, I almost caught the dragon) (You almost caught'em.) Randy still finds time to bond with his son. But I flew to her........ Dad, dad! What are you doing? Number five Hank Hill, "King of the Hill." Clean-cut, straight-laced, and with an unnatural predilection for Propane, Hank is a caring father, if an ineffectual disciplinarian. I just think if you don't read the newspaper, and the only TV you watch is the MTV, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Out of touch with his teenage offspring and the world in general, Hank's is just trying to reconcile his good old-fashioned values with an increasingly modern society. What are you listenin' to son? I don't think you'll like it. Mother of god! It's all toilet sounds. We may not see eye to eye with his sensitive son, Hank is still a patient and devoted Father, and less in a loud mouth than other cartoon Dads. Okay. I love you no matter what you do there. Let's go get something to eat. Number four. George Jetson, "The Jetsons." His world may have flying cars and household robots, but that doesn't solve George Jetson's problems with fatherhood, and bringing home the bacon. With a Son who is up to are kinds of mischief, and a teenage daughter who's attracting the attention of all kinds of boys (Imagine me out on a date with Jet Screamer) (Oh! Yikes!) George's patient is often pushed to a breaking point. Jane, now listen to me Jane, I want this bunch of phonies out of here right now. But when all set and done, he's still a loving cartoon Dad. Number three. Peter Griffen, "Family Guy." As stupid as he is reckless, the patriarch of the Griffen clan, puts his family in harm's way at almost daily rate. Barely kept and checked by his forgiving wife, and often out-thought by his own dog, Peter has no attention span to speak of. Oh no! I broke the pipe organ. Hey look, the deed to a cattle ranch. And is pretty brutal in his treatment of his daughter Meg. Dad, what is it? What's going on? I heard a noise. Somebody down stairs? Ah!! Oh God Meg, you startled me, I'm sorry. But even for all his faults, Peter still manages to connect with his kids. Just don't ask him for advice! If you wanna get anywhere with a chick, you can't treat him too nice-like. Really? Trust me Chris, the next time you see this girl treated like crap. Oh, Mr.Flintstone, here's your paper. Catch! Number two. Fred Flintstone, "The Flintstones." Did you get your paper, dear? Yeah, and I'm lucky it only comes once a week. Setting a precedent for cartoon Dads everywhere, Fred was a bungling husband and clueless father before it was cool. What took you so long? I've been worried sick. Are you okay, sweetheart? Is everything alright? How is little Pebbles? What did the doctors say? Fred, take it easy. Though he's loud, (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do) easily aggravated, and always trying to make a quick buck, Fred is also friendly and will do anything for his kid. Boy, that's what I call a short ride. What does he expect for a dime? Around fifty the moon? By working a full-time job to provide for his loving family, while also trying to keep his wife happy, Fred is prehistory's finest example of a devoted Dad. Go ahead laugh! But remember, "he who laughs last laughs" Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. It's not, I just don't want to touch it. Actually girls, to him, well, you're pretty gross yourselves. With your big heads, large eyes, little bodies...... Okay. I didn't do anything. You're caught up robbing a train. What! I didn't rob who! That's not a bad picture, though. Off the rim. Oh! Almost! Boy, that was close. Hey, what's up for today, Neddie? Number one. Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons." How do I know this isn't some beautiful dream, too? Ouh! You know a pitch is more traditional! Homer is equal parts awkward, idiot, and dedicated Dad. Homie, you do remember your promise to children. Sure do! When you're eighteen, you're out the door. He may be a heavy drinker, a voracious glutton, and an all-round lazy lout. But ahead of the Simpson family, he's always there for his kids, and ready to help any way he can even. Even if ain't the brightest crayon in the box. Your the best Father a boy could ever have. Aye, son. Now you got little hands. Can you reach under that mower and pull out that skate? Never mind. Though we often strangles his son, and sometimes ignores his daughter's skills, (Meggie, cut that racket.) Homer is definitely the most famous cartoon Dad, ever. Why am I such a loser? Why? Well your Father was a loser, and his Father, and his Father. It's genetic, man! Do you agree with our list? Who's your favorite cartoon Dad? Is that all you got, storm? Wind-chimes!!
