Who Is Your Pop Culture Daddy?

Dads – Essential yet mysterious figures! They aren’t produced like us, and it’s baffling why they prefer watching TV while standing. Sometimes it’s hard to recall if their favorite show is “Reacher,” “Tracker,” or “Bosch” – a series about a detective solving crimes in his free time. However, not every child has a strong bond with their father. We aren’t here to probe, but if you’re seeking a cultural father figure, there are numerous options. People online have been suggesting us some excellent TV and movie dads, and we’ve compiled them for your consideration. So go ahead and pick your new dad! Just like in “Mamma Mia,” choose your father, choose now!

Homer Simpson

The Character from “Bel-Air”

Pros: He is there to help you when your biological father unexpectedly reappears in your life, causing chaos like a tornado.
