He is the husband of Cheryl and the father of Zeke. He makes his first appearance in "The Belchies" and his only other appearance in "The Oeder Games."
He is unvoiced.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
He resembles an older version of Zeke, having brown wavy hair like his son, though his hairline is more receded. He also shares his son's shaped eyebrows and circular eyes.
He wears a different outfit in his two physical appearances: in "The Belchies," he wears a warm gray t-shirt and pants resembling the color of Bob's, while in "The Oeder Games," he wears a yellow buttoned shirt, though he still wears the same pants. His shoes are visible in "The Oeder Games," being dark gray shoes with lighter soles that resemble the shoes Big Bob wears.
Personality[]
What Zeke reveals about his dad suggests he is often lazy or negligent, not wanting to fix his VCR ("Carpe Museum") or discipline his son ("Yes Without My Zeke" & "Touch of Eval(uations)"). The times he is proactive seem to be during extremes. His wife Cheryl goes on a sex strike because he doesn't repair their VCR ("Carpe Museum"), and the one time he disciplines Zeke for getting detention is a threat to enroll him in a disciplinary school an hour away that would separate him from his friends at Wagstaff ("Touch of Eval(uations)").
Story[]
Zeke's dad with Zeke after Zeke escapes the Caffrey Taffy Company factory. ("The Belchies")
In "The Belchies," he visits the demolition of the Caffrey Taffy Company factory and finds Zeke after he escapes with the Belchers and the Pesto kids.
In "Presto Tina-o," Zeke compares Tina and Tammy arguing to his parent's divorce.
In "Carpe Museum," Madeline Greenberg brings up how employees of the Museum of Natural History are on strike, and Zeke compares it to how his dad's wife Cheryl is on a sex strike until his dad fixes the VCR.
In "Tina and the Real Ghost," Zeke mentions taking some of his dad's candles to use for the rite of passage at the mausoleum.
Bob eliminating Zeke's dad in Mr. Fischoeder's water balloon fight. ("The Oeder Games")
In "The Oeder Games," he goes to Mr. Fischoeder's place to protest against Mr. Fischoeder raising their rents with his son and other tenants' families. However, Mr. Fischoeder makes every family fight one another with water balloons by granting the last person standing half off on their rent. Bob eventually gets everyone against Mr. Fischoeder's side, so the landlord delays the rent increase.
In "Yes Without My Zeke," Zeke gets detention and meets up with the Belcher kids and Jimmy Jr. after his dad threatens to enroll him into a disciplinary school if he gets one more detention. Zeke returns to school with them and Arnold Evans on Saturday to take down an insulting message he wrote on the ceiling of the detention room with toilet paper before anyone discovers it.
In "Touch of Eval(uations)," when Louise and her siblings go around Wagstaff to tell students to use their teacher evaluation sheets as leverage, Zeke mentions how Cheryl wouldn't marry him until he "learned how to control his crazy son" before bringing up their current close relationship.
In "Don't Stop Be-cheesin'," Zeke has expired cheese slices his dad gave him that he, Tina, Jimmy Jr., Michael Carlish, and Kelly use for cheese-throwing practice.
Relationships[]
Zeke[]
Based on the things Zeke mentions about him, his dad doesn't seem experienced in controlling him. Jimmy Jr. assumes that Zeke's dad should no longer care about the number of detentions Zeke gets ("Yes Without My Zeke"), suggesting that his dad has eventually stopped trying to prevent Zeke from getting in trouble. His lack of control over Zeke has caused Cheryl to threaten not to marry him, though they did eventually get married ("Touch of Eval(uations)"). Zeke's dad does threaten to severely punish him in "Yes Without My Zeke" by enrolling him in a disciplinary school, suggesting that his not exerting authority over Zeke is the result of him being tired of his son's behavior.
Through his interactions with Zeke in his two physical appearances, he shows care towards his son. While it's unknown why he goes to the demolition of the Caffrey's Taffy Company factory in "The Belchies"—as Jimmy Pesto comes to see the demolition without knowing that his children are missing—Zeke's dad appears to be comforting his son after he escapes. Zeke's dad also goes to Mr. Fischoeder's place with his son in "The Oeder Games," based on Bob's idea to show that they're protesting their landlord's potential rent hike for their families.
His older son[]
In addition to Zeke, he also has a 44-year-old son that Zeke mentions in "Presto Tina-o," who is likely Zeke's half-brother, as Zeke's mom was pregnant with Zeke when she went to her prom ("O.T. The Outside Toilet").
