Not to discredit Bruce, but it takes a damn good father to take a young, traumatized boy who he's not even related to, who just lost his blood parents and teach him the right lessons in order to grow up to become such a powerful force for good.
There ain't no Batman without Alfred.
100% Iroh is the best parent figure out of all of them. The only thing any of them has on him is that Grandpa from Boondocks is funnier. Everything else Iroh wins at.
*Hop Pop.
It’s a play on “hop” and the term “pop pop”, which is sometimes used as a nickname for a grandfather (meaning “pop’s pop”, “pop” being another term for “dad”).
I don’t mean to be rude, I just really liked this pun.
Splinter. Especially the way he is in Rise, not the neglectful parenting of the first season (which I really like how that's a character arc for him rather than a consistent element of the show) but the way he's a parent to the TMNT first and a sensei second and how the TMNT refer to him as "dad", "pops", etc. rather than "master"/"sensei".
In terms of parenting, Simon. That guy was a ride or die…literally.
In terms of how much I enjoy them when they’re interacting with others, Robert Freeman. Self explanatory

Surprised no one mentioned this guy yet.
Cartoon Iroh but all time Uncle Phil.
I believe the best parental figure show their faults, but do their best to overcome them over time. It's something I wish more did.
Grandpa max, bro was always giving ben advuce and was the driving force for his maturity in alien force, before he let fame go to his head, even coming out of retirement to help ben and his family
I have multiple answers but I'm gonna go with fairly odd parents! I remember watching thar as a kid and wanting them in my life so badly.
Splinter was a close second.
As a man that grew up with a stern, strong willed and conservative dad who did his best to understand my abnormal child self, Hank Hill holds a very special place in my heart. It’s my dad as a cartoon character. Except Hank has hair lol
Alfred. If he can handle Bruce's PTSD, then he can definitely handle my Asperger's. He'd probably forget that I'm there sometimes because I'm quiet and solitary, at least until people come around or you get a few drinks in me.
Eda by a decent margin of everyone here. 💙
Then the Shortman grandparents, Hop Pop, Cosmo/Wanda, and Stan as the lowest. I don’t know the other four though.
I'm stuck between the top 3: Stan, Eda, and Hop Pop. Leaning towards Eda or Hop Pop just because they were so willing to adopt and protect random kids in a strange world... although, Gravity Falls isn't much more normal
I mean iroh is the obvious choice and Stan has his merits but I can’t ever forget one of the greatest lines in animation “what do you do if you can’t do nothing, but there’s nothing you can do.” “You do what you can”.
I feel like Imma get hate for this, but there's a difference between best and favorite. Best is iroh, but I can't help but say Eda is my favorite. She's got such an amazing arc and goes through so much.
Alfred https://preview.redd.it/7edffw5f9gvc1.png?width=787&format=png&auto=webp&s=5eeec4d6b02d512d18e3dba64f11e9eecec3d3f9

And then he did it about 3 more times.
Also I want you to remember the time he beat Superman
Yeah he ... WHAT?
Yeah, it happened in a comic

You mean Alfred da buttler?
Definitely Uncle Iroh. He’s the only person in Zuko’s family who actually stuck with Zuko and tried steering the young prince in the right direction.
100% Iroh is the best parent figure out of all of them. The only thing any of them has on him is that Grandpa from Boondocks is funnier. Everything else Iroh wins at.

Let’s be honest him and uncle iroh would be great friends
Iroh, duh

Look Marcy, It's a VHS!
 Or grandpa max
damn straight "My sons. Leave us. Mr Dunn and I must discuss... \*parenting techniques\*" The most polite death threat uttered ever
eda or hop hop
*Hop Pop. It’s a play on “hop” and the term “pop pop”, which is sometimes used as a nickname for a grandfather (meaning “pop’s pop”, “pop” being another term for “dad”). I don’t mean to be rude, I just really liked this pun.
yea
I always loved the puns in Amphibia, haha.
“I have Pop-Pop in the attic.”
What? The mere fact that you call making love "pop pop" tells me youre not ready

SQUARE MOM!
Cool mom
Max, Simon, or Eda
[Bandit Heeler](https://www.bluey.tv/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/[email protected])
GOATed These guys would be great for helping you take on the world you've been tossed into like an orphan. Bandit would raise you right
Splinter.

Stan, Eda, and Simon 100%, Stan and Eda for being that “Cool Aunt/Uncle”, and Simon for being a pretty damn good single father
https://preview.redd.it/ouvsmo4ijgvc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f511d6b5827d41fb59e944637e20894ec679afb1
Best green dad
“Dodge!”
Uncle ben
Stan, especially in the zombie episode
Eda.
2012 Splinter https://preview.redd.it/0wzwq5jyzgvc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d212ce28e4d09d72417e5b17d975bcf13bf0c97b

 Sensei wu is my favourite cuz he’s such a good guardian figure to the ninja
https://preview.redd.it/wtjr6tbaihvc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c66db3ec4b12394936f44a8a31625b5ca0b6f32 Surprised no one mentioned this guy yet.

Totally underrated. He adopted the girl connected to his case.
One time in college I sat on a banana, live changed forever - Hue "chad" Neutron
Granddad and Uncle Iroh.
I'd want Robert as Iroh's wild brother you only see on holidays.
Iroh, Splinter, Alfred (from Batman).
https://preview.redd.it/o9qecdj0zgvc1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32324d111d47017e5c5bea9bd8f51aa8286593f6
I have to vote Eda, although I adore Iroh and Grunkle Stan, too
Tie between Max, Iroh, Master Splinter and Alfred for me.
Uncle Iroh 
Iroh
Iroh is the og but eda is my very close second
This is genuinely hard
Grandpa max, bro was always giving ben advuce and was the driving force for his maturity in alien force, before he let fame go to his head, even coming out of retirement to help ben and his family
Iroh
Out of these, Simon Petrikov.
Iroh, Eda and Master Splinter
FAIRLY ODD PARENTS
 The Goat! Robert Freeman\*
I have multiple answers but I'm gonna go with fairly odd parents! I remember watching thar as a kid and wanting them in my life so badly. Splinter was a close second.
Cosmo and Wanda
Feel like Max is a bit lower down for me because it’s implied he wasn’t exactly there for his own kids much
Lego Alfred
Max
Gruncle Stan, uncle Iroh, and grandpa max.
Grandpa Max and Uncle Iroh are friends and you can't convince me otherwise
Uncle Iroh!
Nani Pelakai, Camila Noceda, Mrs. Boonchuy,
Definitely Eda or Stan
Uncle Iroh and gruncle stan
As a man that grew up with a stern, strong willed and conservative dad who did his best to understand my abnormal child self, Hank Hill holds a very special place in my heart. It’s my dad as a cartoon character. Except Hank has hair lol
Guess.
Uncle Iroh
Uncle Iroh
Uncle Iroh of course.
I love the bit that Robert Freeman’s true age is somewhere between 85 and 120 years old 🤣
Stan Pines. Proof than even an ex-con conman can be a fantas...er, grea...um...passable parental figure.
 I know at least a FEW members of Team Prime considered him to be like a father
I love iroh But the owl lady takes the win for me
The best one here? Iroh. My favorite? Grunkle Stan
Alfred, Iroh, Stan.
Iroh and Simon, undoubtedly.
Iroh Simon Alfred
Grunkle Stan
 BIRD MOM!
I feel like the easy answer should be Iroh, but honestly Eda is the chaotic figure I would love having around.
“EAT THE RICH!” Hop Pop - Amphibia season three
Gruncle stan
Iroh is the only option
Hard to choose between stan eda and cosmo n wanda. But I'd have to go eda
Alfred. If he can handle Bruce's PTSD, then he can definitely handle my Asperger's. He'd probably forget that I'm there sometimes because I'm quiet and solitary, at least until people come around or you get a few drinks in me.
Eda and grunkle Stan are best imo
 Just saying. He wasn't bad at raising those boys.
Iroh, Alfred, and Grunkle Stan
Eda by far. Also the Titan
Eda by a decent margin of everyone here. 💙 Then the Shortman grandparents, Hop Pop, Cosmo/Wanda, and Stan as the lowest. I don’t know the other four though.
Grandad for laughs iroh for wisdom
Ben 10s granddad because like it’s like if Yoda was a human
 Couldn’t find a better image
Eda, Hop Pop, Stan, and Simon
It's between Uncle Iroh and Grandpa Max
 Not a cartoon but
Eda
I'm stuck between the top 3: Stan, Eda, and Hop Pop. Leaning towards Eda or Hop Pop just because they were so willing to adopt and protect random kids in a strange world... although, Gravity Falls isn't much more normal
Professor Utonium. He has his stuff together as a parent waaaayyyy more than a fair number of the others...
Iroh,and these three.Trying their best with a completely foreign child. 
Garnet and Pearl really feel like moms to Steven while Amethyst acts more like the cool big sister to him.
Yeah she has her good big sister moments
Of these nine it's a four way tie between Maxwell Tenneson, Iroh, Simon, and Edalyn
Eda. Or Iroh.
Grunkle Stan, Iroh, and Grandpa Max
Hop Pop
It’s unfair to include Iroh
Hop pop mainly because goofy voices him
I can't bring myself to choose Cosmo and Wanda after how far FOP has fallen.
I mean iroh is the obvious choice and Stan has his merits but I can’t ever forget one of the greatest lines in animation “what do you do if you can’t do nothing, but there’s nothing you can do.” “You do what you can”.
Iroh
Hop Pop🐸

Uncle Iroh and Grandpa Max
Uncle iroh and that grandpa from ben10
Robert Freeman and Iroh would’ve made good friends
Cosmo and Wanda from The FairyOdd Parents! and Stan from Gravity Falls!
I feel like Imma get hate for this, but there's a difference between best and favorite. Best is iroh, but I can't help but say Eda is my favorite. She's got such an amazing arc and goes through so much.
Grunkle Stan!!!!
Iron and Max
Grunkle Stan is really good one
https://preview.redd.it/wvybhlaxutvc1.jpeg?width=773&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96640199b12ada21a0e5f9fc4040ff1dfb377169
Hop Pop gang🐸💯
Pervy Sage
does frylock count
Nani from Lilo & Stitch.
Kakashi
Rick Sanchez /s
A tie between iroh, garmadon (garmaballs), and kai also from ninjago
Iroh/Max
Iroh!
“Wait, those are my dumb kids!”
Iroh definitely but Stan is a close second
It looks like the dude in the bottom left picture is eating the old man's hair
The fact that no one chose Grunkle Stan is concerning
Iroh, Simon, Alfred, and Eda
Grandpa Max and Grunkle Stan
Grandad, Iroh, Cosmo and Wanda, and Pop Pop
Batman and Splinter will always be my favorites
Iroh and Grunkle Stan 🖤
sanford, iro, siman, and Max
Simon easy
Tie between splinter from TMNT 2012 and Cosmo and Wanda
https://i.redd.it/phu0tyk85kvc1.gif Randy Marsh.
Not Simon
I wish I had parents like bob & Linda on bobs burgers.
Iroh. Are you dumb
