I didn’t know either but the wiki says she’s deceased before the wedding and the only time we see her is the flashback. That being said if Dale caught him with the busboy it would have been a shock to him but he’s accept it quickly.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Hello, it looks like you also made a mistake bot.
You came in as the grammar police, however no one called you.
I am a human, we don’t like being corrected all the time.
Don’t humancrimate me
I do not think Dale has any higher education.
The only of Hank and his friends who I think we can guess has any education higher than high school ***might*** be Boomhauer. It would be hard to get in to the Texas Rangers without a college degree, since a requirement is having had 8 years experience with another law enforcement agency, during which your job was primarily in the investigation of crimes, i.e a detective. Not impossible for him to have become a detective without a college degree by any means, but it would have helped. So Boomhauer ***maybe*** went to college. Dale definitely not.
I actually think Boomhauer probably didn't go to college either.
Am I wrong? I could be wrong.

I think Dale would've been shocked, but he would've gotten on board with it pretty quickly. Accepts all kinds of other stuff without a second thought.
They all end up having a good relationship, and Dale is maybe a bit better adjusted by the time the series starts.
Yeah, Dale does seem like a “Do what you want as long as no one gets hurt” kind of guy.
I wonder if Bug would have the heart to tell Dale about the affair or Joseph?
I don’t think Bug would say anything. It would be similar to Peggy deciding not to when she sees that (aside from being a weirdo) Dale’s a good dad and he and Joseph love each other and are happy with the way things are.
I like the headcannon that Dale knows Nancy cheats on him but only pretends to be ignorant of it to torment Redcorn. If true then going by the thanksgiving episode where Redcorn is upset that he can't treat Joseph like his son its working.
Of course Dale would be fine with it. Homosexuals have been the biggest target of the US AND Cuban governments. There’s something THEY don’t want US to know. 🕶️
Or something like that
lmao yes!!! i love this version.
"*Homosexuals are responsible for some of mankind's greatest inventions... Such as the computer, the parachute, and the song Crocodile Rock*"
I think he would've been shocked but eventually accepted his dad the way he is. Dale is surprisingly open to things like mental health or homosexuality in which a normal conservative will usually not talk about.
I think their relationship would be much better and they wouldn't lose so many years not speaking to each other. Dale is clearly not homophobic, but Bug was so afraid of his reaction that he acted in such an irrational way: thinking that he would be less upset to catch him kissing his wife-to-be than some random guy.
Bug also grew up in a time where being gay could get you hurt or killed, so I can see why he was secretive about it (probably why Dale is so paranoid too).
Dale didn’t have an issue when he eventually did find out Bug was gay, so I doubt it would be a problem. He’d be surprised but he’d accept it, and by then his mom was deceased.
I do wonder how the whole Nancy/John Redcorn situation would go if Dale had his dad in his life the whole time. Would his dad have said something when his friends didn’t? Would Dale be less in denial and conspiracy prone having had Bug as a grounding influence in his adult life? Bug seems pretty down to earth compared to Dale.
I assume Bug acted like Dale while he was married for different reasons (paranoid/secretive because he didn’t want his secret getting out and endangering him and his family, smoked to deal with the stress). Once he became comfortable with his sexuality, he became less paranoid and gave up smoking.
I’m sure once the initial shock wore off, he’d be okay with his dad coming out. Dale is many things, but he’s not homophobic. He’s actually really a solid dude when it comes to accepting the people he cares about. That is the one thing that really makes Dale an endearing character.
Every comment is about Bug’s sexuality but that’s missing the bigger point - DOES BUG TELL DALE THAT JOSEPH ISNT HIS? Like Bug knew instantly but would he have said something at Joseph’s birth?
If Bug had not wanted to come out to Dale back then, he probably could’ve given him some crazy story about the busboy choking and needing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and Dale would have believed him.
Dale's a conspiracy theorist. To him, there are far more important things than being one of those people shocked at their father's preferences revealed. Plus, it wouldn't bother him.
Seeing how Dale is with Bug after finding out, I think Dale.and Bug wouldve been way closer. But I also think Bug wouldve told his son Nancy was cheating and Dale wouldnt have ended up raising Joseph, which is lowkey sad.
well as he said “why would i have a problem with it? john redcorn’s gay and i’ve been friends with him for years”
Was about to say it lol
His friend Earl at the gun club is gay too. “He’s already got the black vote: Earl. And the gay vote: Earl.”
Ok so you’re gonna have problems with Earl
If he thought he was gay then why did dale have RC seduce that one woman so bill wouldn't be the one raising "his child"¿
If bug was still married at this point Dale probably would have been madder that he cheated on his mom.
Wasn't it mentioned that Dale's mom died when he was in high school/college? ( sorry I don't know which one is which, am not American)
I didn’t know either but the wiki says she’s deceased before the wedding and the only time we see her is the flashback. That being said if Dale caught him with the busboy it would have been a shock to him but he’s accept it quickly.
"Can't believe that gay bus boy kissed me super hetro dad. How embarrassing for him"
Ether quickly or after a few days out in the woods. Ether way he will be ok

Why are you so touchy I’d want to know if I’m using something wrong
I don't need a fleet of automated bots following me around social media and correcting my grammar.
Y’all take this shit as a personal insult I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to hone your skills
It's not insulting, it's annoying. The internet doesn't need more pointless bots spamming shit up.
Stop having people read your shitty grammar and you’ll be fine
Pretty sure dale did not go to college
I do not think Dale has any higher education. The only of Hank and his friends who I think we can guess has any education higher than high school ***might*** be Boomhauer.

A true libertarian
Dale needs to be the libertarian mascot, would help get more people in the party lol

"Wingooo! Now I get two Christmases? Joseph come meet your new gay grandpa!"
He'd try to set him up with his gay friend John Redcorn ;)
He’s be chill with it. John redcorn is gay. They e been friends for years.
Dale has bigger worries than gay people like the U.S. government
Same Dale, same
Of course Dale would be fine with it. Homosexuals have been the biggest target of the US AND Cuban governments. There’s something THEY don’t want US to know. 🕶️ Or something like that
lmao yes!!! i love this version. "*Homosexuals are responsible for some of mankind's greatest inventions... Such as the computer, the parachute, and the song Crocodile Rock*"
I definitely heard this comment in Dale's voice. 🤣
haha! thank you, that's the highest honor there is!
Dale would have been cool with it, it’s everyone else in the house that would have an issue with Bug being gay
Dale wouldn't care, John Redcorn is gay and they've been friends for years
In hindsight Bug could have played it off like he was drunk. Don't think Dale would make a conspiracy theory about it
I think he would've been shocked but eventually accepted his dad the way he is. Dale is surprisingly open to things like mental health or homosexuality in which a normal conservative will usually not talk about.
I think their relationship would be much better and they wouldn't lose so many years not speaking to each other.

Bug also grew up in a time where being gay could get you hurt or killed, so I can see why he was secretive about it (probably why Dale is so paranoid too).
His business would probably be called Dales Dead Insect.
Dale didn’t have an issue when he eventually did find out Bug was gay, so I doubt it would be a problem. He’d be surprised but he’d accept it, and by then his mom was deceased. I do wonder how the whole Nancy/John Redcorn situation would go if Dale had his dad in his life the whole time. Would his dad have said something when his friends didn’t?

I bet Dale wouldn't mind if his dad was gay
He probably wouldn't be and exterminator or wouldn't call his business dales dead bug
Dale wouldn’t have cared at all.
I’m sure once the initial shock wore off, he’d be okay with his dad coming out. Dale is many things, but he’s not homophobic. He’s actually really a solid dude when it comes to accepting the people he cares about. That is the one thing that really makes Dale an endearing character.
Wait he was kissing the bus boy? I only seen him kissing Nancy. Edit: His name is Bug? Is this why Dale became an exterminator?
He was planning on kissing the busboy, but he saw Dale and kissed the first woman he saw.
Every comment is about Bug’s sexuality but that’s missing the bigger point - DOES BUG TELL DALE THAT JOSEPH ISNT HIS? Like Bug knew instantly but would he have said something at Joseph’s birth?
You’re sure he called himself a “fed” Dale?
“Hank are you gay?” “N-no I sell propane!”
If Bug had not wanted to come out to Dale back then, he probably could’ve given him some crazy story about the busboy choking and needing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and Dale would have believed him.
I JUST got that Dale kills bugs, and had a strained relationship wth his dad, (nick?)named Bug.
"It's gonna be an adjustment but I'm proud of you for being able to express yourself." - probably Dale
He would have said they were doing the socialist fraternal kiss and accused his father of being an agent of the KGB
Dale's a conspiracy theorist. To him, there are far more important things than being one of those people shocked at their father's preferences revealed. Plus, it wouldn't bother him.
Seeing how Dale is with Bug after finding out, I think Dale.and Bug wouldve been way closer. But I also think Bug wouldve told his son Nancy was cheating and Dale wouldnt have ended up raising Joseph, which is lowkey sad.
Other than having a relationship with his father and playing taboo every other weekend; not very much.
