>>85355573Bobby unfortunately got derailed hard.
like, people complain about luann's flanderizing, but she was always a little goofy from the beginning. she was just highly competent white trash. bobby was kind of the same.. a soft-spoken guy who you would imagine grows up into.. well, the way Bill was in the early episodes. one of those soft-spoken but competent hillbillies. it fits in with their original trashier concept of the show, where peggy was more like the obese muumuu lady from daria
but whereas they made luanne an increasingly dumber funnier giggly party girl, bobby went from almost autistic to a strawman for KIDS THESE DAYS. it's one thing how luanne was good at car shit and that never got brought up again, no huge deal, that's not much different from being good at hairstyling (though they went back and forth on that too many times), but it's another thing ENTIRELY how bobby went from nearly emotionless and lacking in will (pretty much do anything you tell him) to a crying little faggot. you can't imagine him being a crack shot anymore.
My favorite old Bobby moment has to be "After I learn sex ed, I'll be too busy dating" "Who?" "Iunno. Whoever wants to have sex with me"
