"Scared straight? You're already straight". "I'm already scared".

"You ever see a Therapist Mr. McGuirk?""Well yeah, sometimes you gotta do certain things to re-enter society"

"I'm discovering all this too as I say it." Genius. God I miss this show.

The conversations in this show seem so natural. I love it. It makes it so much more funny.

Coach: The first step is admitting it. Now say it fatso. Brendan: You say it! Coach: Okay. You're fat!

You thinking about running away? You should, it builds character

"You know what I was good at Brendon?" "Drinking?" Holy shit that's pretty funny.

Asking a kid if he is frustrated of his father remarrying a woman who is beautiful because he is jealous is one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

5:00 omfg "I used to do that Brendan." "Oh I didn't know you played guitar, coach." "I didn't, I just carried one around."

"Here's another thing: make a shiv." "Yeah? How do you do that?" "I dunno--you find stuff, you make it."

this show is the reason I can't hear H. Jon Benjamin as any other character. just the coach man.

Theres about 8 phases, it starts from dumpy, then it goes to frumpy then it goes to fat.. the six phases of fat. I don't know I'm not a scientist.

I would attend a coach Mcguirk life lessons seminar

Everything he says is gold but what really stands out to me is him simply telling Brandon that "he will be fine" because "he's just a kid.". I love this show.

The entire show feels like an animated podcast

The subtle shuffle Coach McGuirk makes towards Brendon when he says his dad's girlfriend could be on a magazine is genius.

I would pay money to just sit around and listen to McGuirk go off on one. He's like a wise old sage who dumped all his stats into Charisma without leaving anything for Wisdom or Intelligence.

I love it when people talk in a calm tone of voice for extended periods of time

None of this advice worked for me, except, "anything hard in life is not worth doing". That's solid advice that has never let me down.

Life sucks Brendon, that's your lesson...

"It's textbook stuff, Brendan."

I made it to the pizza place, but I got a job there.

In a way he’s actually a good father figure to Brendan, he’s honest about life lol

"You know anything too hard in life is not worth doing." Words to live by.

why couldn't Home Movie only be this? People talking to McGuirk.

I hated this show as a kid, now that I understand the jokes it's actually genius.

"NO!! NO MAN!! NO MAN!! NO!! I DON'T THINK SO!! I DON'T THINK SO!! ALRIGHT?! IS IT?! IS IT?!" Oh man that part killed me

I didn't know you played guitar. I didn't I just carried one around.

"Sometimes ya gotta do certain things to re-enter society" ~ Coach McGuirk

"What type of magazine? Like a dirty mag or one of those model mags?" "Uh...like a model mag." "Oh." lol

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

Three tear drops, no one will touch you.

This is a show that I never payed attention to because it was on 4am adult swim when I was half asleep

coach is one of the best characters EVER. "you know what i was good at?" "drinking?"

this show had stellar writing

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.

I think coach McGuirk is in the wrong profession. He should be a LIFE coach!

"There are 6 stages to fat....idk I'm no scientist" 😂😂😂

"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."

2:40 the prediction of the Dad bod craze was over a decade ahead of its time

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

"How the folks take it?" "We threw a party."

"You know what I was good at Brendan?" "Drinking?" WHAT IS THIS SHOW LMFAOOO

2005: When you're fat you remind women of their fathers. 2020: DAD BODS Coincidence? I think not.

4:18 "Sure, yeah... what?" "No but anyway brendon-" The transitions in conversations in this show are one of the best parts. Cant even explain why this stuff is so funny to me it just is

"If You're not immediately good at something, why do it?" That hit a little to close to home

“I’m gonna put one under your eye. Three tear drops, no one will touch you.”

anything hard is not worth doing

"They're all conmen, even the women!!" 😂😂

Coach mcgirk is so funny. He reminds me of some teachers I’ve had and a few bosses I’ve had in the past.

"Make a knife out of contacts"

I couldn’t appreciate how awesome this show was as a child. Its writing is just astonishingly good as a adult though.

I remember my mom freaking out when she caught me watching this show when I was 9. Now I'm watching it wondering what she thought was so bad ha!

I can't even watch Archer because all I see is the coach lol

"I'm discovering all of this stuff, too, as I say it." Oh my goodness, that's a great line

0:39 "thinking of running away, you should, it builds character" wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Bottom line is you’re gonna be fine. You’re just a kid.”

5:18 "Anything too hard in life is not worth doing... if you're not immediately good at something, why do it?" This is my life philosophy. To a tee.

"You know what I was good at Brendan?" "Drinking?" "Being a rodey, I was a rodey" ... "The only down side, we never travelled, we were a local band" LMFAO never noticed this shit

“Anything in life that’s too hard is not worth doing”

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.

“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 used to watch this as a sleepy 7 year old waking up and trying to turn on Cartoon Network too early. I think it morphed my brain over the long term

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.

There relationship is the best part of the show

Such a great mentor of my childhood

This is the funniest show I’ve seen in a while. The conversations are just so natural and are funny

“You wear contacts? Make a knife with contacts. That’s where I learned. I killed a man with contacts” funnies shit ever

"I would just pretend that I had tendinitis." Now does THAT sound familiar.

1:25 “Welcome to the fat club Brendon” “No” “Yes!”

“They’re all conmen, even the women.” Gets me every time.

"There's no such thing as Psychology, it's all made crap" that got me lmao

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

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

I've watched this show for 20 years and just realized mcgurik ment astrology not astronomy.

Brendon: "Must've been some ladies out there, huh?" McGuirk: "Pfff, you kidding me?" Breandon: "yeah."

This is my favourite show, and possibly my favourite quote in the whole thing is "I'm discovering this too, as I say it", hahahah. It's so applicable and easy to shove in a conversation.

I miss this show. Some of the conversations were just so amazing and natural.

The first way of dealing with your fat is saying it, so say it. No you say it. Ok your fat. God this show is amazing

"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.

I watched this show when I was young and never really understood it. Now I love it. Especially scenes with the coach.

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.

This is the trippiest looking cartoon

"Anything too hard, in life, is not worth doing" words I've lived by since childhood

One of the best shows ever made

Three tear drops no one will touch you 😂🤣😂🤣

I like hearing the little giggles they make throughout conversations

Went from “I was this guy” to “I’ve seen this guy” real quick, and honestly that means I’ve grown beyond being horrible, and that’s still growth lol. Brendan Small helped me grow as a person by helping me know where my boundaries lie.

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.

We were all kids watching this show when we wasn’t supposed to lol

2:27 Coach McGuirk explaining the dad bod far before dad bod’s is amazing.

this is like original rick and morty, Coach goes on a rant and Brendon just responds "oh yea?"

@7:48 has always been on of my favorite moments of this show.

This shows art style is awesome . It’s so cute . An their mannerisms are hilarious

Home movies is so criminally underrated

1:20 *Unknowingly shares the most insane story ever told about his kidnap at age 8 and subsequent celebration* Brendon: That’s a good story 😊

"I mean I'm discovering all this too as I say it." If that line was improvised then it makes it even better.

Life sucks Brendan, that's your lesson, go enjoy it.

*Fails to do basic math* “I don’t know I’m not a scientist”

That story about him being raised by the pizza place was like way too realistic to be made up. This show as a masterpiece.
