Uncle Phil


FRESH PRINCE OF BELL-AIR
Stepping in as Will’s father figure, Uncle Phil used a whole lot of tough love to get through to his outspoken nephew. At the end of the day, he always treated Will as one of his own. Major proof that family isn’t limited to DNA.

Phil Dunphy


MODERN FAMILY
With his goofy persona, witty banter, and obsession with being the “cool dad”, this funny man is the doting father and loving husband who never fails to put his family first.

Homer Simpson


THE SIMPSONS
While Homer’s parenting style may seem a bit unorthodox at times, his heart is usually in the right place. After all, we can’t deny his ability to make us laugh.

Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse, Uncle Joey


FULL HOUSE
When the going got tough, our favorite trio was always there to help. From Joey’s endless lines of jokes to Uncle Jesse’s flawless Elvis impersonation, their incomparable guidance inspired us all.

Tim “The Toolman” Taylor


HOME IMPROVEMENT
The manly, yet goofy dad may have spent the majority of his time joking around, and fixing up cars, but the occasional wisdom he passed down to his boys was just one of the things that made him such a lovable dad.

Coach Taylor


FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
Eric Taylor played pops both on and off the field, and never failed to deliver a few wise words of wisdom. We could always count on his sage advice, moments of comedic relief, and the ability to help in the most opportune moments.

Mr.Feeny


BOY MEETS WORLD
Neighbor, teacher, life coach, and friend. The list goes on and on! Mr. Feeny was always there to guide our favorite gang (and answer to the infamous Feeny-call) with solid wisdom and support.
