29 Times Red Forman Was Woke Culture's Greatest Enemy | That '70s Show

[@seven6twomm]

Red reminds me of father in many ways, Vietnam war veteran who didn't put up with non sense, but would be reasonable if I acted and behaved appropriately. RIP Dad.

[@abefroman3129]

My Dad was a smaller, southern version of Red. He could drink beer and intimidate all my friends without saying a word while watching TV. I was bigger than him at 13, but I never disrespected him. Miss my Dad.

Apparently Kurtwood Smith wasn’t the first choice. It was Chuck Norris. I’m glad Smith got the role because as much as I love Norris, I can’t imagine him doing as well.

[@hokutoshinken-chrisarmstro131]

​@SpaceWanderer03 It would have been just as funny when he threatened to kick their asses, but yes, the chosen actor totally owned the performance 😂

[@busterkeaton1041]

He was so amazing in RoboCop that it was a little difficult to see him as a normal dad. It only took one episode for my perspective to change, he was amazing as Red and one of the best tv dads of all time.

[@tapiolautavaara9532]

Man…$10 for gas money…what a time to be

[@ROGER2095]

Once, in 1972, I almost ran out of gas. I made it to a gas station but all I had was 45c in change. That bought me more than a gallon, and I got home with no problem. This was before self-serve was legal in Illinois, so the attendant had to pump in exactly 45c worth. I can't remember if he washed my windshield.

[@clearcreek69]

$10 bought lots of things in the 70's

[@poohbeartube]

Ah the seventies, when the right turn on red laws were introduced as a fuel savings measure and even after the Arab oil embargo in 1974, I could fill my tank for about $7.00.

[@donaldfeger91]

U could buy a six pack of old Milwaukee beer for$1.99

[@rrrob19]

He should have included the rest of the line of number 7: “It’s like watching you hit your first home run…if you’d ever done that.”

[@BlitzenSpeaks]

I confess. When I watched this episode, I was laughing SO HARD after Eric's line, I completely missed what Red said! That's hysterical!!! Thanks for adding it!

[@jtnachos16]

I like how on 26, they don't even address that Red is being ABSURDLY patient with Eric, even though he keeps screwing up here. Red is likely fully aware he is high as a kite, but KNOWS the event is important, so is being 'soft' about it. Red is the 'when it matters' type of dad. Which is a lot better than most the other types.

[@grant8917]

We need more Reds in this day and age.

[@SergioBocanegra]

he was the best T.V dad because he knew what situations demanded a foot in the ass. most kids these days have their heads up their ass.

[@LucasKeesee-vm8yp]

For too long, man was said to only have 2 types of friends: the Good Friend, and the Best Friend. If you lose control and end up in jail, the Good Friend is there to bail you out. The Good Friend is often then mocked in comparison to the Best Friend, because the Best Friend got put in jail right along with you as well. Outside their relations with you, both share one common trait: they are enablers. Yesmen that sit back knowing someone they say is their friend, wander into harm. Red is a True Friend. A True Friend knows you are about to do something stupid, and will remind you of the consequences, hold you back, bring consequences when others let you slide, or all of the above. Here's to you Red.

[@johndavid8815]

A friend will help you move and a real friend will help you move a body 😂

[@GTX1123]

I grew up in the 70's (born 1962) and my Dad was a lot like Red. One day I came home and one of my sister's friends was in the front yard. He had a panicked look on his face. "Steve! Your Dad found your stash! He was furious!" There on the front porch was an assortment of rolling papers, pipes, weed etc. My Dad came out the front door holding a bong and a hammer. Sternly but calmly he handed me the bong and the hammer and sternly said "you know what to do" LOL

[@exturiel5343]

This is what dad's are supposed to be. My dad went to agricultural meetings, mom went to hula classes, TV raised me, and I ended up a nihilistic monster. Parenting folks! It's a thing!

[@guyonthecouch136]

Nihility is great in the current world climate

[@splatninja9447]

22 lol. That was almost the same exact thing that happened between my older brother and our dad. He was so afraid to tell him he quit his job😂

[@FumblsTheSniper]

My grandfather, who is basically Red as we are from Wisconsin, actually said to me “I was wondering why they were paying you under minimum wage.” I was 14, 6.25 an hour washing dishes. That generation enjoys laughing in the face of adversity.

[@kevinmcafee356]

Just give me my fuckin phonecall.

[@Clem-Kadiddlehopper]

My father, a WWII US Army Veteran who finished active duty as a Lt. Colonel and went on to put over 40 years in the Army Reserve, used to have a saying that I first started hearing about the time I was 10 or 11 years old. If he was concerned I would mess something up that was very important to him, he would say: "You do that and you and me both will have to go to the hospital." For years I was unclear as to what exactly he meant about both of us having to go to the hospital. Sometime around my 14th birthday, I finally got up enough nerve to ask him, "You know, Dad, I can understand why I might have to go the hospital , but why would you have to go?" He turned and looked me square in the eyes and said: "In order to get my foot out of your ass!" Yeah, I have a pretty clear understanding of Red's character... and why he is so lovable...

[@greengoblin355]

Making your adult kid pay rent (I know its his kids friend), but then investing it for him or her and giving it back instead of keeping it is a pretty sweet idea. I may do that for my kids.

It showed Red did actually care and wasnt a hardass for no reason.

[@Trendkill213]

“It wasn’t a man’s job.”😂 Kurtwood had a small part in the film Quick Change where he plays a mob boss and yells “what are you afraid to do a mans’ job!!” to the guy at the computer checking flights in the airport. I enjoy everything that he does with his acting.

[@davidrosensin7985]

These compilations always miss the best 70s show joke. It's when Kitty is showing the house and Red says he doesn't wanna sell the house to any Germans. Kitty says she thinks they're French, not German. Red says "Exactly. They'll just give it up to the first German that knocks on their door"
