@@worldwarwill1278 Yeah. "Of Mice and Little Green Men" in season 6 I think. There's even a scene where right before Dale is explaining his alien theory, he makes a comment about Joseph not being his son and Hank is nervous like, "does he know?!" And when Dale asks if Hank has a better explanation, Hank just goes along with the alien thing.
I mean genetics aren’t just dominant and recessive, they have levels to them. Basically the genes from hanks mom could have been more dominant than from his dad, but hank passed Bobby the genes from his father which were dominant over peggys genes. Basically genes are wonky and Bobby is most likely Hank’s son
I also don’t like that he says every trait and phenotype you are born with is a result of alleles merging. The womb is an environment and different environments cause people to develop differently. Epigenetic factors can also influence a baby’s traits before it is born regardless of the parents.
The narrow eurethura has been a problem hank's whole life, man. Hank bought Ladybird because he didn't think he could have children and hoped a dog would satiate his and peggy's parental instinct.
I wish they would make more of a note on the fact that Hank has low sperm count, and lay off the urethra thing. But no one ever mentions the low sperm count again.
@@HowToNotMeta If you go comparing his son to this episode you aint right cause that would imply that his wife could have slept with his father and THAT AINT RIGHT. lol
Are we just gonna ignore the episode that explained Hank was able to have Bobby thanks to getting Ladybird as a puppy which allowed him to relax enough for his urethra to open wider for a time?
@@ALu-nq8rf johnny did say it was just hank's theory and not based on scientific evidence. Either way tho,i still believe bobby is their biological kid
Tyler, Texas produces most of the rosebushes sold in the USA. So growing roses is a very Texan thing indeed, and I suspect that it’s not just women involved...
A grandparents traits can skip a generation and pass over to their children’s kids like how some people are over 6ft with both 5ft parents but at least 6ft above grandparents that’s what might’ve happened. Edit(did not know this comment was going to get this much likes)
I wanted to check comments and see if this was being mentioned. I don't resemble my dad at all but I'm the spitting image of his dad. His dad died long before my parents married so there's no chance of him being my real father.
I have the opposite. My two older brothers are both 6’2, my mom is 5’11, my dad 6’1. I’m 5’6. My grandpa on my mom’s side was 5’6, and my grandma on my dad’s side was 5’2. Why must I be the only grandchild to inherit their height 😭
Here's something that doesn't get discussed enough: Hank and Junichiro both look nigh identical, implying that they inherited a similar phenotype. Problem is, it's implied that Hank inherited his looks from his mother, Tilly, while Junichiro was born from that Japanese nurse Cotton knocked up. So this would imply that Hank/Junichiro's looks were passed down from Cotton, but then why would this phenotype also show up in Tilly? Unless...Cotton and Tilly were related? ...Is Hank the result of inbreeding? Might explain his narrow urethra.
i can only assume Hank and Bobby are in the same boat. Hank looks like his mom, but one of his parents looks like himself too. We know that Junichiro looks like Hank because of Cotton's genes, that has to be the case. So maybe it's coincidental that both Tilly and Cotton's father or mother has the same physical attributes as Hank. That way it's all down to Cotton's genes being inside him from his parents, which would explain Junichiro. We already know the Hank family is weird with Bobby having his grandfather's attributes physically.
I can see it all now! Bruce is extremely rich and Batman would need money, he has suits cars even a plane, not something a door to door salesman would have. He would also need to be physically fit and since he's been operating for around 10 years he'd be in his late thirties to late forties. While Bruce Wayne drinks vodka that could be an act! And as for motive Bruce Wayne's parents were gunned down by a mugger, that could definitely make a child grow up to beat up criminals like Batman! Oh we have the truth now! Muhahahaha!
The thing that, for me, debunked the notion that Bill is Bobby's father, was Bill's clinginess. If he had ever stuck it in Peggy, there is absolutely no way he would let her forget that. The fact that throughout the entirety of the show, he never made one comment to the tune of "Remember that one time?" suggested to me that he and Peggy never got intimate with one another.
@Aaron Smith this, explains a lot....... always thought he had his legs amputated(his shins got blown, but maybe the doctors took his legs aswell), and just slapped him into some prostetics.
Though I like the theory I think it weakens the original point of the affair in the show. Dale is a conspiracy theorist, literally believes everyone is out to get him and only he can see it. The punchline is Dale is so out of touch that his wife is having an affair literally right in front of him without noticing. Ironically he is right everyone is lying but not to do him in but to protect him.
I think you’re misusing the term incomplete dominance in this episode. What you described is just recessive inheritance of alleles, they can skip generations. Incomplete dominance is when neither allele is completely dominant over the other and a mixed phenotype is the result. I know you guys work hard on these episodes so I’m not really sure why that got bungled when a google search of incomplete dominance explains it clearly
Yes sir and that’s the beautiful part of science and theories. That it is open for scrutiny. But I think it wasn’t really on purpose nor accidental. I just think for the sake of just show fluidity he went this route. But you are right. In this case the dominance, codominance and incomplete dominance can be explained. But depending on the person and their level of understanding of biology. It can take a few minutes, to a lecture, to a while.
This used to be the case with Wally West of the Teen Titans and the Flash, too. Originally brown hair, later red hair. His cousin Bart has brown hair, but fan artists think it's red.
Or....Bobby takes after his grandpa because he's his grandson and traits can skip a generation. And though Hank is limited Bobby is a miracle child. Its unlikely for Hank to have kids but it could happen.
Matt skipped over a large part of how the show explains that Bobby is Hank's son. Hank got his dog and the bonding with it helped him relax enough to finally have Bobby.
there was this one episode in the later seasons where bill took a dna test (well it might have not been a dna test but, if i remember correctly, it was never specified) and his only living relative was gilbert if cotton was his dad, shouldn't hank hill or junichiro have been on his dna test? they seem like people who'd have their dna recorded
Saying Cotton didn't care about his Japanese son is flat wrong. Cotton was extremely excited to learn about his third son, and his entire plot in that episode was being angry that Junichiro rejected him. Cotton treated Hank terribly because he suffered from PTSD and was in a loveless marriage, torn from the woman he loved in Japan and living with the pain of walking without his shins, being literally less of a man than he was before the war. Those aren't excuses for how he treated Hank, but how Cotton treats Bobby and G.H. seems like his more normal personality, after he's had time to accept what happened to him.
He also didn't talk about the fact cotton was also exposed to some radiation in japan which could explain why his sons had reproductive issues. I mean theoretically might be a big factor.
The whole theory that Peggy had an affair with Cotton is a real stretch. It involves completely disregarding everything we know about both of their characters. It’s quite a reach.
i mean biologically it makes complete sense, it just makes canonical sense to go 'oh Bobby just has more of his Cotton's genes that Hank was given than he does genes from Hank and Peggy'
I see a pattern here... could you predict the result of the theory as the opposite of what the title is? Like in game theory, there was a theory about the end of Portal 2 that followed this, so could others follow the pattern as well?
@@dcbandit it feels like all of his titles are lies, the complete opposite of the conclusion, or technicalities. It's sneaky and deceptive of him to do so. This video was the last straw for me and I will now be boycotting all of his channels.
When you take into account that bobby looks a lot like cotton and exactly like hank as a kid I think there's no question that he's Hank's. Not to mention him and good hank look exactly alike as well
There's actually an entire episode that explains how Bobby was conceived. So while I don't agree that Bobby isn't Hank's biological son(mainly because the show debunked it outright), its entirely possible that Cotton's genes are recessive since two of his three boys look and act nothing like him.
RioluMan As I gather it, Hank said no and that’s why Ladybird getting IVF pisses off Peggy so much: you know, he was willing to have that done to the dog, but not for them to have a child.
@@DaxOrien To be fair, the main reason Hank wanted to get Ladybird pregnant was because having a puppy around the house relaxed him enough to get Peggy pregnant with Bobby, and he was trying to recreate those circumstances so they could in theory have another child. Its definitely a bit hypocritical to be sure, but in his own way, we was trying to have another child.
@@ZackMorrisDoesThings it is also explained why he was ok with it for ladybird and not for him and peggy. he said that between them there is romance and emotions of love making where as ladybird is just a dog and none of that matters.
I'm in the camp that Dale knows of the affair between Nancy and Redcorn but didn't care because of how cushy it let his life be in general. He got to work a job he loved even though the pay was pretty bad, he got a son out of the deal that he would none-to-subtly rub in Redcorn's face, and when he and Nancy began to reignite the passion in their marriage that was just the icing on the cake for him. Best revenge is living a good life. The biggest thing that also contributes to Hank being Bobby's father is he looks very similar to him when he was younger. Similar body type, similar face, etc. Bobby has been said to be a "Late bloomer" quite often in the series, even by doctors. Odds are if he'd kept ageing in the later seasons he probably would've been starting to look more like Hank in high school. Cotton definitely gets along better with Bobby because of a few factors: Bobby entertains him, listens to him and doesn't often challenge him. Cotton HATES it when people fight him on things even when he's undeniably in the wrong, hence why he'll attack Hank for minor things but gets along better with Dale or Bill because they just roll with what he's doing. Hank will fight him on things.
Gonna throw a monkey wrench at you: Sometimes grandchildren carry traits of their grandparents; certain things skip a generation, like twins. My niece looks incredibly like my grandma!
I agree, my grandpa (moms side) was apparently really tall but she's like 5'3. Now me and my siblings are like stupid fucking tall. One of my brother is 14 almost 15 and close to 6 feet tall.
Well, the canon answer is that getting a puppy relaxed Hank enough to get his boys through the narrow urethra, hence why he's so obsessed with Ladybird
Well, if you look at Hank, Cotton, Bobby, and Bill, Bobby does seem to be built more like Bill. He also has some of Bill's mannerisms (like always falling when climbing through a window or over a fence). What is a little confusing though is Bobby's facial features seem more like a combination of Bill and Hank then Hank and Peggy. And, aside from his hair style, Bobby doesn't have much in common with Cotton when you look at things like eye, nose, and ear shape. And btw, Peggy did lie to her husband for years about being a virgin when she married Hank.... Really what it probably is is the animators never really thought that much about making Bobby look like Hank and Peggy when they designed the characters.
The entire point of the theory is Hank CAN'T produce children. Sure, traits easily skip generations, however the basis of the theory is built on Hank's narrow urethra. It's all for fun anyway.
@@EspressoStreams my question is how does a narrow urethra cause total infertility? also that definitely has to be a trait from cotton even though he has so many kids
One thing you forgot: During Season 3, Episode 4: Pregnant Paws, Hank suggests to Peggy that they try to use artificial insemination on Ladybird because he thinks that their giving up and accepting only having a dog calmed him down enough to relax his urethra and that maybe having another puppy would help again. Peggy is APPALLED because Hank wouldn't consider it with them. Hank explains that Ladybird is a dog. Her mating would mean nothing to her. To him, he doesn't like the idea of treating his wife in ways that he'd only use on his dog, and, even then, only out of desperation. As a result, we can conclude that Peggy never had any artificial insemination.
That is very true. I felt bad for Ladybird in that episode, because she was really old. I don't see how Hank would be okay with his old dog getting pregnant. Seeing how much he loved his dog. However it is a good thing that Hank didn't want to treat his wife in the same way as his dog.
@@JackalopeBunny That's how I felt. If they wanted a puppy, they could have just gotten one without needing to breed her. Which, considering Ladybird's age, wouldn't be a bad idea… I've joked about breeding my pet mice because it's so hard to find pet stores that carry live mice. I don't adopt from shelters because the younger the mouse, the easier it is to build early trust, which helps reduce overall stress, and breeders can be annoying and they're just as irregular as pet stores. Still, I don't breed my mice for a WIDE variety of reasons (primarily the reason of 2 to 20 pups in a litter).
@@MollyOKami That's true. They could just get a new dog, but I think Hank says something that basically no dog will be like ladybird or could replace her.
Not to mention that in this episode, Hank finds out that he has a narrow urethra for the first time, and is told this as an adult. So, this messes up the timeline for future episodes, especially the Season 7 episode that MatPat referenced that said Hank found out about his narrow urethra back in high school when that actually isn't the case.
You... haven't had kids have you? Redhead families in particular, the kids hair is colourless/blonde at first. Same way eye colours shift, neutral/blue to possibly green or brown depending on parents.
@@Seskal unless you have copper red hair. My kid as a baby had a full head of copper red hair. The copper is strong enough to overshadow any thought of it as strawberry blonde.
Raserei Hojo yeah it’s a little thing but it makes that part of the video feel a little half assed even if a more blonde style of hair would tend to be more scientifically likely
The thing that MatPat doesn't realize, from a biologist and an actual example of this, but genetics are really weird! Those recessive genes, particularly hair, can be linked to other recessive genes thus the child that has the recessive traits may look more like the grandparent(s) than their parents. Case in point: Red hair is a recessive trait in family tree, paternal grandmother has this trait and has a distinctive facial composition. Children come along and all have dark hair, but the grandchildren come. Red hair appears in granddaughters, and as they mature they develop the grandmother's distinctive facial composition. Que jokes about mini mes during family get together's and awkward comparisons to 50+ year old pictures.
I was thinking this as I watched. MatPat's explanation of recessive traits explained why Bobby would look like his grandfather. Doesn't mean that Cotton's his father.
I was thinking this too! I have the trait of hazel eyes, whilst both my parents have brown. My dad always joked my mom cheated on him with a guy he knew that had very similar eyes, but it's actually because I get it from my grandma on my dad's side! Very weird, and very interesting!
Doesn't realize? That's exactly what he said. Bill isn't the father. There is evidence it could be Cotton but it could also just be passing on grandpa genes through Hank.
That's exactly what he said, you are just explaining High School Biology. It's just speculation in relation to the plot and storytelling of the show, and the urethra issue is definitely significant enough and other issues mentioned (grandpa hills odd treatment of Bobby) is weird. It's called a theory for a reason, it highlights the interesting possibilities. Not necessarily the most realistic (which in this case isn't so clearcut)
Dude if you watched to the end. Exactly what you said is exactly what he said. By the way, it’s a “theory” hence open to being scrutinize. But not when he has made a note of it already. Besides, scientists support each other. And that biology knowledge, was taught to us since high school. Anyway, you’re both right. But Matpat is not wrong as you made your post seem.
The missing key here is Bill's father. Notice how little Bill resembles the rest of the Dautrives - Bill is Cotton's son. Bill knows this, and this is why he joined the army: to gain the respect of his father. This ties up why Bill and Bobby look alike, why Bill and Peggy have tension, and why Bill idolizes Cotton.
Jesus christ I'm actually studying this and exams are next week If I pass in biology I'll be living suggestion that Game theory and Co. helps with education.

There was an episode where Peggy thought a hot Mexican actor was hitting on her. She was in Mexico as a tutor for his kids, living in his mansion, and misunderstanding his interactions with her. She strongly considers giving in to the imagined temptation but ultimately tells the guy that she won't cheat on Hank. Yeah, she slept with someone before marrying Hank but she's 100% not the kind of character that would cheat on her husband. Neither Hank nor Peggy are the cheating type. Bobby is definitely Hank's kid. The reason Hank has the personality he has comes down to his father's emotional abuse. Hank's mother is much more of a free spirit, so Bobby's personality actually runs in the family, at least on Hank's mother's side. I've watched a lot of King of the Hill over the years.
You forgot something: traits can skip generations. I'm the first in my family to have inherited my _Great Grandmothers_ green eyes, and My nephew is the first grandkid to inherit my mother's ADHD. Its very possible that Bobby's appearance is the result of him inheriting dormant genes Hank got from Cotton.
What about the episode where the 4 guys are stranded at sea, right outside their boat, because no one left the ladder down and Bill straight up admits him and Peggy slept together?
I like the theory that Dale knows that Joseph isn't his son and he probably was the first to know about it. Basically Nancy married Dale 2 years before she met John Redcorn and she was pretty hot during that time as she competed in pageants. So why would a woman like Nancy ever settle for a man like Dale? Unless Dale wasn't always crazy and Nancy just liked his sweet side. Then Nancy cheated on Dale with John and Dale saw the act play out. This led to Dale having a nervous breakdown and believing conspiracy theirs theories (as his way of making sense of the world now). The only thing that prevented this from happening sooner given his weird childhood was Nancy, and so he didn't want to lose her. So he distracted himself with guns, aliens and conspiracy theories while "allowing" Nancy to see John for "migrain sessions". They get pregnant and Dale stays with Nancy.
The common theory is he knows but is afraid of ending up like Bill. So he chooses to ignore the obvious. In part because he loves his wife and he's come to love Joseph through the years.
@@randomloser4674 I like the "He knew, and he got revenge" theory. Could someone find that copypasta of Dale tell Hank? Edit: Nevermind. Found it, but I need a minute. Edit2: She cheated? Hank, I knew about Nancy and John Redcorn. I knew about them the day Joseph was born. But every day since he was born I've been taken my revenge. That boy- he loves me Hank. He loves me. John Redcorn will never get. He'll never hear his boy tell him that. Joseph will go to his GRAVE loving me and never so much as looking in Redcorn's direction. His children, his grandchildren- they'll love me too Hank. And they'll never know Redcorn even existed. That's revenge Hank.
Dale: **catches Redcorn as he's climbing in through the window** Redcorn: "Dale! I never wanted you to find out like this." Dale: "Quit screwing around with my mower!" Redcorn: "You've got to be kidding...?" Dale: "I don't kid around when it comes to my mower. Now, get inside and start massaging my wife!"
Seeing how much the divorce ruined bill would be a deterrent. knowing that john redcorns kid will call him dad and not john is like a long slow burn revenge and his wife is the bread winner in the family leaving him to go after his hobbies and dreams. Dale strikes me as someone who could do the long burn so to speak on revenge and someone who would hide information from even his closest friends as evidence from the y2k episode they did. as far as other conspiracies like alien baby well dales dale. He seems both smart and idiotic at times. Nobody is a clear cut trope if they are written well. Even if the reader/viewer never knows about it there is parts of the past that shapes them into who they are.
@@matanthony4945 Yeah, he said it correctly the first time, but for some reason called him Ice T the second time. In a way I can understand his mistake since both rappers/actors name starts with Ice.
Here's my fan theory.... I think one of the reasons Peggy is so disgusted with Bill is that, as a high schooler, she might have had a teeny tiny schoolgirl crush on him. Don't forget back in high school, Bill was *the man* and all the gals wanted him. Maybe even including Peggy? So when she sees the man he became, some of that disgust is projection on her part, silently belittling herself for ever thinking Bill was cute, handsome, attractive, etc. But rather than admit she was wrong back in the day (which she hates doing), she projects all her embarrassment onto Bill, which is made worse because, now, Bill has a crush on her.
Mat. It's not uncommon for a grandchild to look more like the grandparent than the child. At all. There are all kinds of cases of that. It's just a bunch of recessive genes. I am a redhead with no redheads in either side if my family for at least 5 generations. Doesnt mean I'm not my parent's child. Also grandparents always love their grandchildren more than their kids. Its instinctual. A grandchild is the ultimate genetic success. You have succeeded in ensuring your genetics will outlive you if you have a grandchild.
Jessikared97 My father’s mother is the only blonde I can think of yet I’m blond, and my face and eyes are the same as my mother’s. My mother’s sister’s daughter’s son looks exactly the same at his age as I did. Genes are funny that way.
Even funnier. I'm adopted. I look alot like my adoptive mother. It's actually to the point where you would think that I really was the birth son of my mother and father (Yes, I consider them my parents. My birth mother smoked and drank, and it's believed she also did drugs. All while pregnant and then, up until I was taken from her, at 6 months. And my birth father left her before I was born. Neither of my birth parents would have given me a decent life.).
This is true in my family, I’m taller than both my parents and this trait is believed to have been passed down from my granddad on my mom’s side who was around 6’3”. I’m not as tall as he was but I’m much taller relatively than anyone else in my direct family
What if Bobby is Mr. Strickland son since Bobby looks and acts like him. Once Mr. Strickland found out Peggy was pregnant with his baby he made Hank Assistant Manager to keep Peggy quiet since now Hank had a stable job and Mr. Strickland could watch over Bobby while still having fun. Plus Hank talks about how Strickland use to be a good manager in the beginning and something broke him
Man, if only MatPat cared more about diving into show lore like this than he did the science of genetic trait inheritance. This episode better get a follow-up involving this and other pieces of info from the series canon.
anyone else going to mention the episode when Hank tries to breed Ladybird in order for there to be puppies around the house and Peggy tries to get it on with Hank, while Bill goating Bobby into thinking his adopted ... and we get the whole backstory to when young Hank brings Ladybird to the house as a puppy and with them playing around with a puppy made Hank so relaxed that his urity wasnt so up tight and there by allowing that one lonely sperm to swim on through and *miracles* Bobby is conceived? ...looks around.. no one??

I expect so much more from his vids then this crap. he obviously never really watched this show. and yes I realize I am nerding out hard core on this right now, I don't care! it makes no sense!!!
I’d like to point out that the typical female reproductive system tends to have a acidic pH! If there was only one lonely sperm cell or even 50, there’d be an extremely low chance of Peggy getting pregnant because those fifty would probably die before even passing through her cervix. Not hating, that’s just how biology works.

Also Bobby looks like his grandpa. If you see them side by side he looks like him. Also didn't they show baby pictures of Hank and he looks like Bobby?
I think Bobby is Hank’s son, despite his narrow urethra. While it would definitely limit his fertility, it’s unlikely that it would render him completely sterile. Children looking like the spitting image of a grandparent isn’t uncommon either, we have a picture of one of my grandfather’s when he was a baby and the only difference between that picture and my brother when he was that age is the nose shape.

I have the opposite. My two older brothers are both 6’2, my mom is 5’11, my dad 6’1. I’m 5’6. My grandpa on my mom’s side was 5’6, and my grandma on my dad’s side was 5’2. Why must I be the only grandchild to inherit their height 😭
I even believe MatPat mentioned that in an episode a long time ago
This is highly possible considering both of my parents are short while my grandfather is over 6 ft tall and so far I’m taller than both of my parents

CheesecakeLasagna to be honest I don’t know, I can never find that clip
Here's something that doesn't get discussed enough: Hank and Junichiro both look nigh identical, implying that they inherited a similar phenotype. Problem is, it's implied that Hank inherited his looks from his mother, Tilly, while Junichiro was born from that Japanese nurse Cotton knocked up. So this would imply that Hank/Junichiro's looks were passed down from Cotton, but then why would this phenotype also show up in Tilly? Unless...Cotton and Tilly were related?
...Is Hank the result of inbreeding? Might explain his narrow urethra.
i can only assume Hank and Bobby are in the same boat. Hank looks like his mom, but one of his parents looks like himself too. We know that Junichiro looks like Hank because of Cotton's genes, that has to be the case. So maybe it's coincidental that both Tilly and Cotton's father or mother has the same physical attributes as Hank. That way it's all down to Cotton's genes being inside him from his parents, which would explain Junichiro.
We already know the Hank family is weird with Bobby having his grandfather's attributes physically.
maybe cotton just has a SPECIFIC taste in women
michiko also looked remarkably like tilly, so it's probably just cotton having a type
Next film theory: Bruce Wayne and The Batman are the same person
Blasphemy
Wait Bruce Wayne is BATMAN?!?!?!??!?! SPOILERS
What evidence do you have?
@@tenacious1006 The show itself😂
I can see it all now! Bruce is extremely rich and Batman would need money, he has suits cars even a plane, not something a door to door salesman would have. He would also need to be physically fit and since he's been operating for around 10 years he'd be in his late thirties to late forties. While Bruce Wayne drinks vodka that could be an act! And as for motive Bruce Wayne's parents were gunned down by a mugger, that could definitely make a child grow up to beat up criminals like Batman! Oh we have the truth now! Muhahahaha!

The thing that, for me, debunked the notion that Bill is Bobby's father, was Bill's clinginess. If he had ever stuck it in Peggy, there is absolutely no way he would let her forget that. The fact that throughout the entirety of the show, he never made one comment to the tune of "Remember that one time?" suggested to me that he and Peggy never got intimate with one another.

Dale is a conspiracy theorist, literally believes everyone is out to get him and only he can see it. The punchline is Dale is so out of touch that his wife is having an affair literally right in front of him without noticing. Ironically he is right everyone is lying but not to do him in but to protect him.
You mean Rusty Shackleford.
I think you’re misusing the term incomplete dominance in this episode. What you described is just recessive inheritance of alleles, they can skip generations. Incomplete dominance is when neither allele is completely dominant over the other and a mixed phenotype is the result. I know you guys work hard on these episodes so I’m not really sure why that got bungled when a google search of incomplete dominance explains it clearly
Thank you for clarifying.
Sometimes i really think they leave stuff out or make errors intentionally.
Thank you. That kinda bothered me haha
Yes sir and that’s the beautiful part of science and theories. That it is open for scrutiny. But I think it wasn’t really on purpose nor accidental. I just think for the sake of just show fluidity he went this route. But you are right. In this case the dominance, codominance and incomplete dominance can be explained. But depending on the person and their level of understanding of biology. It can take a few minutes, to a lecture, to a while.

It's a dirty blonde , not brown ..
I thought it was more blond than brunette.
He also called Ice Cube, "Ice-T"
This used to be the case with Wally West of the Teen Titans and the Flash, too. Originally brown hair, later red hair. His cousin Bart has brown hair, but fan artists think it's red.
Or....Bobby takes after his grandpa because he's his grandson and traits can skip a generation. And though Hank is limited Bobby is a miracle child. Its unlikely for Hank to have kids but it could happen.
This is what I was thinking
My oldest son looks more like his mom, while my youngest son looks just like me. And I resemble my grandfather more than my father. Genes are weird
Well light hair is ressesive so grandparent inheritance makes more sense
Matt skipped over a large part of how the show explains that Bobby is Hank's son. Hank got his dog and the bonding with it helped him relax enough to finally have Bobby.
James Leach yeah i look a lot like my dad but I’m the spitting image of my grandpa when he was my age
It seems like the real question should be "is bill Cotton's son?". Bill doesn't look like any of the Dauterive family we see.
there was this one episode in the later seasons where bill took a dna test (well it might have not been a dna test but, if i remember correctly, it was never specified) and his only living relative was gilbert
if cotton was his dad, shouldn't hank hill or junichiro have been on his dna test? they seem like people who'd have their dna recorded
Fr, I’ve always thought that Bobby looks more like Cotton lol
And GH looks like Bobby too 🤔
it's kinda funny cause that's the same episode where bill acts like a father to bobby
Woah. There it is. GH looks just like Bobby.
Next film theory: Bruce Wayne and The Batman are the same person
Saying Cotton didn't care about his Japanese son is flat wrong. Cotton was extremely excited to learn about his third son, and his entire plot in that episode was being angry that Junichiro rejected him.
Cotton treated Hank terribly because he suffered from PTSD and was in a loveless marriage, torn from the woman he loved in Japan and living with the pain of walking without his shins, being literally less of a man than he was before the war. Those aren't excuses for how he treated Hank, but how Cotton treats Bobby and G.H. seems like his more normal personality, after he's had time to accept what happened to him.
True. But I think Cotton’s just a douche whether he went to war or not.
David at some deep stuff there.
Cotton was a genuine prick. But he was also an american hero.
You just opened my mind bro
He also didn't talk about the fact cotton was also exposed to some radiation in japan which could explain why his sons had reproductive issues. I mean theoretically might be a big factor.
The whole theory that Peggy had an affair with Cotton is a real stretch. It involves completely disregarding everything we know about both of their characters. It’s quite a reach.
It could explain why she distances herself from him.
i mean biologically it makes complete sense, it just makes canonical sense to go 'oh Bobby just has more of his Cotton's genes that Hank was given than he does genes from Hank and Peggy'
well, it's definitely not out of character for cotton

When you take into account that bobby looks a lot like cotton and exactly like hank as a kid I think there's no question that he's Hank's. Not to mention him and good hank look exactly alike as well
There's actually an entire episode that explains how Bobby was conceived. So while I don't agree that Bobby isn't Hank's biological son(mainly because the show debunked it outright), its entirely possible that Cotton's genes are recessive since two of his three boys look and act nothing like him.
Yeah, wasn't it explained that it's the result of in vitro fertilization?
RioluMan As I gather it, Hank said no and that’s why Ladybird getting IVF pisses off Peggy so much: you know, he was willing to have that done to the dog, but not for them to have a child.
@@DaxOrien To be fair, the main reason Hank wanted to get Ladybird pregnant was because having a puppy around the house relaxed him enough to get Peggy pregnant with Bobby, and he was trying to recreate those circumstances so they could in theory have another child. Its definitely a bit hypocritical to be sure, but in his own way, we was trying to have another child.
@@ZackMorrisDoesThings it is also explained why he was ok with it for ladybird and not for him and peggy. he said that between them there is romance and emotions of love making where as ladybird is just a dog and none of that matters.
@@Rioluman10 they were using that as a last resort. But Ladybird relaxed Hank enough to not "try" for a baby.
I'm in the camp that Dale knows of the affair between Nancy and Redcorn but didn't care because of how cushy it let his life be in general. He got to work a job he loved even though the pay was pretty bad, he got a son out of the deal that he would none-to-subtly rub in Redcorn's face, and when he and Nancy began to reignite the passion in their marriage that was just the icing on the cake for him. Best revenge is living a good life.
The biggest thing that also contributes to Hank being Bobby's father is he looks very similar to him when he was younger. Similar body type, similar face, etc. Bobby has been said to be a "Late bloomer" quite often in the series, even by doctors. Odds are if he'd kept ageing in the later seasons he probably would've been starting to look more like Hank in high school.
Cotton definitely gets along better with Bobby because of a few factors: Bobby entertains him, listens to him and doesn't often challenge him. Cotton HATES it when people fight him on things even when he's undeniably in the wrong, hence why he'll attack Hank for minor things but gets along better with Dale or Bill because they just roll with what he's doing. Hank will fight him on things.
Also it's not that unusual to have a soft spot for your grandchildren.

Well, if you look at Hank, Cotton, Bobby, and Bill, Bobby does seem to be built more like Bill. He also has some of Bill's mannerisms (like always falling when climbing through a window or over a fence). What is a little confusing though is Bobby's facial features seem more like a combination of Bill and Hank then Hank and Peggy. And, aside from his hair style, Bobby doesn't have much in common with Cotton when you look at things like eye, nose, and ear shape.
And btw, Peggy did lie to her husband for years about being a virgin when she married Hank....
Really what it probably is is the animators never really thought that much about making Bobby look like Hank and Peggy when they designed the characters.

Exactly. Traits can skip generations and go onto the next.
The entire point of the theory is Hank CAN'T produce children. Sure, traits easily skip generations, however the basis of the theory is built on Hank's narrow urethra. It's all for fun anyway.
@@EspressoStreams i know that I was just pointing something out that Matt pat did not mention in this video
@@EspressoStreams my question is how does a narrow urethra cause total infertility? also that definitely has to be a trait from cotton even though he has so many kids
Exactly. Children can also look like aunts, uncles and cousins.
One thing you forgot:
During Season 3, Episode 4: Pregnant Paws, Hank suggests to Peggy that they try to use artificial insemination on Ladybird because he thinks that their giving up and accepting only having a dog calmed him down enough to relax his urethra and that maybe having another puppy would help again. Peggy is APPALLED because Hank wouldn't consider it with them. Hank explains that Ladybird is a dog. Her mating would mean nothing to her. To him, he doesn't like the idea of treating his wife in ways that he'd only use on his dog, and, even then, only out of desperation.
As a result, we can conclude that Peggy never had any artificial insemination.
That is very true. I felt bad for Ladybird in that episode, because she was really old. I don't see how Hank would be okay with his old dog getting pregnant. Seeing how much he loved his dog. However it is a good thing that Hank didn't want to treat his wife in the same way as his dog.
@@JackalopeBunny That's how I felt. If they wanted a puppy, they could have just gotten one without needing to breed her. Which, considering Ladybird's age, wouldn't be a bad idea…
I've joked about breeding my pet mice because it's so hard to find pet stores that carry live mice. I don't adopt from shelters because the younger the mouse, the easier it is to build early trust, which helps reduce overall stress, and breeders can be annoying and they're just as irregular as pet stores. Still, I don't breed my mice for a WIDE variety of reasons (primarily the reason of 2 to 20 pups in a litter).
@@MollyOKami That's true. They could just get a new dog, but I think Hank says something that basically no dog will be like ladybird or could replace her.
Well, not a insemination that Hank knows of. She could have done it in secret with Hank's dad
Not to mention that in this episode, Hank finds out that he has a narrow urethra for the first time, and is told this as an adult. So, this messes up the timeline for future episodes, especially the Season 7 episode that MatPat referenced that said Hank found out about his narrow urethra back in high school when that actually isn't the case.

@@Seskal I think they're talking about how the graphic used was a blond child, not red-headed.
Raserei Hojo yeah it’s a little thing but it makes that part of the video feel a little half assed even if a more blonde style of hair would tend to be more scientifically likely
The thing that MatPat doesn't realize, from a biologist and an actual example of this, but genetics are really weird! Those recessive genes, particularly hair, can be linked to other recessive genes thus the child that has the recessive traits may look more like the grandparent(s) than their parents.
Case in point: Red hair is a recessive trait in family tree, paternal grandmother has this trait and has a distinctive facial composition. Children come along and all have dark hair, but the grandchildren come. Red hair appears in granddaughters, and as they mature they develop the grandmother's distinctive facial composition. Que jokes about mini mes during family get together's and awkward comparisons to 50+ year old pictures.
I was thinking this as I watched. MatPat's explanation of recessive traits explained why Bobby would look like his grandfather. Doesn't mean that Cotton's his father.
I was thinking this too! I have the trait of hazel eyes, whilst both my parents have brown. My dad always joked my mom cheated on him with a guy he knew that had very similar eyes, but it's actually because I get it from my grandma on my dad's side! Very weird, and very interesting!
Doesn't realize? That's exactly what he said. Bill isn't the father. There is evidence it could be Cotton but it could also just be passing on grandpa genes through Hank.
That's exactly what he said, you are just explaining High School Biology. It's just speculation in relation to the plot and storytelling of the show, and the urethra issue is definitely significant enough and other issues mentioned (grandpa hills odd treatment of Bobby) is weird. It's called a theory for a reason, it highlights the interesting possibilities. Not necessarily the most realistic (which in this case isn't so clearcut)
Dude if you watched to the end. Exactly what you said is exactly what he said. By the way, it’s a “theory” hence open to being scrutinize. But not when he has made a note of it already. Besides, scientists support each other. And that biology knowledge, was taught to us since high school. Anyway, you’re both right. But Matpat is not wrong as you made your post seem.
The missing key here is Bill's father. Notice how little Bill resembles the rest of the Dautrives - Bill is Cotton's son. Bill knows this, and this is why he joined the army: to gain the respect of his father. This ties up why Bill and Bobby look alike, why Bill and Peggy have tension, and why Bill idolizes Cotton.

@@thanatoast They did a whole episode on it where they were trying for babies and eventually did it.
There was an episode where Peggy thought a hot Mexican actor was hitting on her. She was in Mexico as a tutor for his kids, living in his mansion, and misunderstanding his interactions with her. She strongly considers giving in to the imagined temptation but ultimately tells the guy that she won't cheat on Hank. Yeah, she slept with someone before marrying Hank but she's 100% not the kind of character that would cheat on her husband. Neither Hank nor Peggy are the cheating type. Bobby is definitely Hank's kid. The reason Hank has the personality he has comes down to his father's emotional abuse. Hank's mother is much more of a free spirit, so Bobby's personality actually runs in the family, at least on Hank's mother's side.
I've watched a lot of King of the Hill over the years.
That is very true. I was hoping someone would point this out.

I mean it is very normal for grandparents to love there granchildren more than there own children.
I like the theory that Dale knows that Joseph isn't his son and he probably was the first to know about it.
Basically Nancy married Dale 2 years before she met John Redcorn and she was pretty hot during that time as she competed in pageants. So why would a woman like Nancy ever settle for a man like Dale? Unless Dale wasn't always crazy and Nancy just liked his sweet side. Then Nancy cheated on Dale with John and Dale saw the act play out. This led to Dale having a nervous breakdown and believing conspiracy theirs theories (as his way of making sense of the world now). The only thing that prevented this from happening sooner given his weird childhood was Nancy, and so he didn't want to lose her. So he distracted himself with guns, aliens and conspiracy theories while "allowing" Nancy to see John for "migrain sessions". They get pregnant and Dale stays with Nancy.
Film Theory should have done THIS and not Bobby.
The common theory is he knows but is afraid of ending up like Bill. So he chooses to ignore the obvious. In part because he loves his wife and he's come to love Joseph through the years.
Actually he admitted on the show, Joseph wasn't his kid ... But thinks he part alien

Joseph will go to his GRAVE loving me and never so much as looking in Redcorn's direction. His children, his grandchildren- they'll love me too Hank. And they'll never know Redcorn even existed.

Seeing how much the divorce ruined bill would be a deterrent. knowing that john redcorns kid will call him dad and not john is like a long slow burn revenge and his wife is the bread winner in the family leaving him to go after his hobbies and dreams.
Dale strikes me as someone who could do the long burn so to speak on revenge and someone who would hide information from even his closest friends as evidence from the y2k episode they did.
as far as other conspiracies like alien baby well dales dale. He seems both smart and idiotic at times. Nobody is a clear cut trope if they are written well. Even if the reader/viewer never knows about it there is parts of the past that shapes them into who they are.
He's the most paranoid man on the planet. There's a good chance he knows.
When MatPat calls IceCube "Ice-T" twice, I couldn't take it...
He only did that once, not twice.
@@darksheikgaming aw I thought he said it twice cause I heard it the second time and assumed he did it the first time to
@@matanthony4945 Yeah, he said it correctly the first time, but for some reason called him Ice T the second time. In a way I can understand his mistake since both rappers/actors name starts with Ice.
Here's my fan theory.... I think one of the reasons Peggy is so disgusted with Bill is that, as a high schooler, she might have had a teeny tiny schoolgirl crush on him. Don't forget back in high school, Bill was *the man* and all the gals wanted him. Maybe even including Peggy? So when she sees the man he became, some of that disgust is projection on her part, silently belittling herself for ever thinking Bill was cute, handsome, attractive, etc. But rather than admit she was wrong back in the day (which she hates doing), she projects all her embarrassment onto Bill, which is made worse because, now, Bill has a crush on her.
Mat. It's not uncommon for a grandchild to look more like the grandparent than the child. At all. There are all kinds of cases of that. It's just a bunch of recessive genes. I am a redhead with no redheads in either side if my family for at least 5 generations. Doesnt mean I'm not my parent's child.
Also grandparents always love their grandchildren more than their kids. Its instinctual. A grandchild is the ultimate genetic success. You have succeeded in ensuring your genetics will outlive you if you have a grandchild.

My father’s mother is the only blonde I can think of yet I’m blond, and my face and eyes are the same as my mother’s. My mother’s sister’s daughter’s son looks exactly the same at his age as I did. Genes are funny that way.
Even funnier. I'm adopted. I look alot like my adoptive mother. It's actually to the point where you would think that I really was the birth son of my mother and father (Yes, I consider them my parents. My birth mother smoked and drank, and it's believed she also did drugs. All while pregnant and then, up until I was taken from her, at 6 months. And my birth father left her before I was born. Neither of my birth parents would have given me a decent life.).
He already put an example of this when explaining the genes, idk might be wrong
This is true in my family, I’m taller than both my parents and this trait is believed to have been passed down from my granddad on my mom’s side who was around 6’3”. I’m not as tall as he was but I’m much taller relatively than anyone else in my direct family

That’s great; didn’t want your life story
Me When mat pat called ice cube ice T: That Boy Ain't Right
What if Bobby is Mr. Strickland son since Bobby looks and acts like him. Once Mr. Strickland found out Peggy was pregnant with his baby he made Hank Assistant Manager to keep Peggy quiet since now Hank had a stable job and Mr. Strickland could watch over Bobby while still having fun. Plus Hank talks about how Strickland use to be a good manager in the beginning and something broke him
That's actually a really good theory I wonder why he didn't bring up the possibility of someone outside the family being the father (besides bill)
This is underrated I love this
@@theflaminglitten-fo6jd doesn't bobby look like cotton though?
Man, if only MatPat cared more about diving into show lore like this than he did the science of genetic trait inheritance. This episode better get a follow-up involving this and other pieces of info from the series canon.
“Red headed baby”
Baby with blonde hair: 👁 👄 👁
Matpat literally out of nowhere: Wanna do science on a show about old dudes that drink beer?
anyone else going to mention the episode when Hank tries to breed Ladybird in order for there to be puppies around the house and Peggy tries to get it on with Hank, while Bill goating Bobby into thinking his adopted ... and we get the whole backstory to when young Hank brings Ladybird to the house as a puppy and with them playing around with a puppy made Hank so relaxed that his urity wasnt so up tight and there by allowing that one lonely sperm to swim on through and *miracles* Bobby is conceived? ...looks around.. no one??
me! Me! I didn't realizes how much of a fan I was of this show until after watching this awful theory, and I love MatPat. I expect so much more from his vids then this crap. he obviously never really watched this show. and yes I realize I am nerding out hard core on this right now, I don't care! it makes no sense!!!
Yeah I also remember watching it, did matpat just not see it? It was a pretty good episode to
I’d like to point out that the typical female reproductive system tends to have a acidic pH! If there was only one lonely sperm cell or even 50, there’d be an extremely low chance of Peggy getting pregnant because those fifty would probably die before even passing through her cervix. Not hating, that’s just how biology works.
@@jessicawong3777 i wish Matt Patt knew about that. Because that is a GREAT counter point against the TV Episode. i.e. debunking the Creators in order to make Matt's Theory more sound. .. You're awesome, Jessica :D
We already knew about this theory.
Bobby’s real father is *p r o p a n e*
That's why Hank isn't upset about it
and propane accessories
@@mitwodlemi no the propane put it’s accessories in Peggy
Just to depress you: They cancelled King Of The Hill for The Cleveland Show.
Let me repeat it.
THE.
CLEVELAND.
FREAKING.
SHOW.
I've barely heard anything of Cleveland,but that freaking show just looks like Family guy marketed for african americans.
Probably just as stupid.
LOOK HOW SIMILAR THE MAIN FAMILIES ARE!
I wonder if some heads rolled over that call...
@@BrunoMaricFromZagreb That's pretty much what it was from the bits I've seen.
Isn’t it a thing where grandchildren could look like their grandparents but not super like their own parents??
Yes.
This is especially seen with Drake, his mom, and his son
Generation skip
Yeah from recessive alleles
other than the eye color I'm identicle to my grandmother. my older sister more so because her eyes were brown too. mine are grey
Drawer: I just draw this like that, just because
Matt: 13 mins theory of who's the father
Animator? In comics they're called pencillers.
@@jonbrewer297 Fortunately, this isn't a comic but an animated TV show, so animator is still the correct term. I suppose if you wanted to be truly pedantic you could instead call it a cartoon and say they're a cartoonist.
MatPat: You, are NOT the father!

0:59 I like how you didn’t say that Luanne was part of the Hill family either.
Is it just me or is that "red hair" they put in clearly more blonde/brown and not at all red
Look up strawberry blonde hair.
@@valeriemcdonald440 i know what strawberry blonde hair is lol, but that is not what it looks like
Clearly miscommunication with editing x)
Film theory idea: what if at the end Coraline, Coraline is still with her other mother?
While this is a great theory many people have done a lot with it so it might be hard for him to come up with something different to add to the theory
This theory gets thrown out immediately when you look at, Cotton when he’s younger, hank when he’s a little kid and After GH is born
I feel like Matt intentionally glossed over these details so he could get the controversial theory he was after.
Also Bobby looks like his grandpa. If you see them side by side he looks like him. Also didn't they show baby pictures of Hank and he looks like Bobby?
It makes more sense if Cotton slept with Peggy
Did you not watch the entire video?
@@Edgar... No because none of the writers even think the theory is plausible.
5:18 If i hear MatPat say "narrow urethra" one more time I'm gonna throw myself against a window lmao
I think Bobby is Hank’s son, despite his narrow urethra. While it would definitely limit his fertility, it’s unlikely that it would render him completely sterile.
Children looking like the spitting image of a grandparent isn’t uncommon either, we have a picture of one of my grandfather’s when he was a baby and the only difference between that picture and my brother when he was that age is the nose shape.
Swear to god this Shiro fella is everywhere
"On a dark stormy night, i slept with peggy."

Hank: No, you didn't.
You weren’t supposed to say “yup” you were supposed to say “mmhmm”

It’s still animated though
Honestly, this is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I'm glad people still care enough about it, to make videos about it.
Bobby looks exactly like Cotton Hill.
sorry, Hank IS the father. 😂
My thought exactly. Cotton doesn’t look anything like hank but that’s his father.
I think the reason cotton is nice to bobby because hes the grandfather
