Brendan talking to Coach Mcguirk is how I talk to my dad about politics and stuff. It's like he'll agree and just throw in a few things as Mcguirk rambles on even though he knows it's all bullshit but he doesn't want to get into an argument because he knows it'll be ugly for everyone involved
Really underrated moment includes 6:14 where Brendon starts to ask "So you ever-" and immediately gets cut off about food. And he tried to wriggle back into the conversation of putting out food with "putting out milk, checking the date" while coach just keeps going and moved to the next part of his rambling

I used to really enjoy Home Movies because of how genuine the conversations felt. It's the kind of conversations I have with my friends and family. It's the same thing that attracted me to Bob's Burgers, I basically consider it the spiritual successor to Home Movies.
Most people, women and gay men alike, think dad bod is just bodybuilder with over 20% body fat. I've heard people saying Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill have dad bods, it's really discouraging tbh
Great memories, I watched this show when I was like 8 when it first aired on adult swim. Their interactions always felt like natural conversations, the writers knew how to write naturally flowing dialogs, not only with Brendan and Coach McGuirk, but through the entire show. Home movies was ahead of its time, I wish it would have gotten more reception back in the day
The lesson on cheating actually helped me get through a couple of classes with the same professor. I couldn't physically write enough in class to finish essay portions without horrible hand cramps. So I would fill out the blue book beforehand for exams where we were given prompts before. I'm pretty sure he knew and didnt care because i wasnt actually cheating, I just needed more time because my hands had gotten used to only typing by that point. They were always my own ideas.
“The other thing Brendan is cheating is just another way of being prepared. You’re basically memorizing something is cheating. You knew the answer before the test was given. And so by taking the test and saying that you learned that stuff is cheating.” It’s weird how that makes sense when he puts it like that
"I don't know you played guitar, Coach." "No I didn't, I just carried one around. It's a phase I went through. It was the 70s, you know?" "Yeah." "Kinda everybody got a prop." "Right." "If anybody else gonna play, I just complain that I you know, Tinnitus." "Why didn't you just learn how to play, I mean-" "Cuz it's hard, Brendon. It's too hard. You know anything too hard in life's not worth doing. Remember that."
This was the first cartoon that aired on the first night of Adult Swim, and I instantly fell in love. I was like 11 or 12 and this scratched an itch I wasn’t even aware I had.
"If you're not immediately good at doing something, why do it?" "Anything too hard in life is not worth doing, remember that. I agree. Lmao. Coach McGuirk is my idol.

@@kam2894 It was, just not as talked about as today. Also mothers in general tend to have more curves, so if we follow the same logic for the attraction towards dad bods, boys growing up will look for the same traits in other women I suppose.
I loved this show only because it was so minimalistic so if I wanted to go back to sleep it'd lull me to sleep but if I wanted to stay up, it was funny if you bothered actually listening to what is said
At 7:05 you can see on mcguirks notepad he actually has a tactical idea scribbled down: "move mellissa to half back" The idea of either Mcguirk or Melissa understanding what a half back does in soccer is hilarious to me.
McGurk is a force of nature. 😀 A truly legendary character. The creators of the show said that one of its themes was "adults who are bad at being adults" and McGurk is the living embodiment of that.
