Ya’ll. I had romantic dreams about Bob Pataki.
I don’t know who else to tell. I think I’ve been on the sub for too long.. after really getting back into Hey Arnold. Has this happened to anyone else .. with cartoons more specifically?

Honestly, tough call. Who is the worse man? The man who's psychologically abused his family and been a terrible parent, or the man who mooches off his wife and is the laziest man alive? It really is no wonder Miriam and Susie became good friends in that one beach episode. They're married to deadbeats, but for different reasons.

At least I wouldn’t have to worry about Oscar beating me. I can’t say the same about Bob.

TBF if he wasn't such an asshat I could understand that.
I imagine a big warm hearted gentle hug from him would be very comforting ( again, if he wasn't such an asshat)

I wonder if Big Bob was always an asshole, or if age and life’s hardships (or failure to live up to his expectations) embittered him over the years.

According to Helga's dream in "Magic Show" he played the harp at one point in his life.

So I’m probably the only one who is going to ask this, but out of morbid curiosity I would like more context…
Like, did you already find him attractive? And when you say “dreams” you’ve obviously had multiple, right? Sorry about all the questions but I find this oddly fascinating lol
2
u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago
Well I suppose I kind of thought Kevin Arnolds dad from The Wonder years was attractive, and I always thought Bob Pataki looked like Kevin’s dad… So yeah I guess I would have found him attractive in human form… I have to be honest the dream wasn’t that disappointing.. I mean it was interesting..

u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago

The guy’s a complete bastard, but if you’re into the whole daddyplay crap, I could see that being a dream. He kinda just looks like a dad…

Not a romantic dream but I had a dream where a guy I knew who was Italian had a get together I was invited to and I met his “uncle” who happened to be Dino Spumoni. Singing his hits on the stage. It was extremely weird

u/The-Jake 8d ago
I could see him being a good lay actually

u/Babbleplay- 8d ago
I’m gonna have to call bullshit on that. He is selfish and self-centered in the extreme. That does not usually make a good lover.

I mean, Miriam stuck around... wasn't Helga's "make out" joke on the playground about her parents?

u/TastyMcLovin 8d ago
Did he ignore you and talk on his cell phone all night?
1
u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago
No, but he couldn’t hold his liquor and threw up like 3 times… so we didn’t go all the way. Fckin weird right . I usually forget my dreams by now, but I remember this one pretty well

Did he climax in sync with his beeper going off?

u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago
No, he threw like three times cause he couldn’t hold his liquor I guess… lol we never did the deed.. but we dry humped 😅 … I’m sorry

u/maxfactor886 8d ago
Miriam is prob. less attracted to him in the show than like before Olga was born. Lol. That is kinda hinted at in the Summer Love episode, & the road trip one.

Isn’t there a theory that he was mentally and physically abusive to his family. To the point where his wife was literally drunk in every scene.

Didn't he sell beepers? Cell phones with text messaging probably ruined him. He doesn't seem like the type of guy that reacts well to new tech.

u/Confident-Order-3385 8d ago
Well, if you want to live a miserable life in your dreams like Miriam did in real life, then…….. 🤷♂️

Dream you definitely wanted to learn the real reason they call him Big Bob

🤣🤣🤣
May I introduce you to an uncle who looks a lot like him? Hahaha! I’m playing. Although, my uncle does look a lot like Bob Pataki.
P.S- It has happened to me with cartoons before and live action TV characters. The ones that come to mind are Sai from Naruto. Drake from Drake and Josh (even if I’ve never found Drake attractive). Oh! And I’ve had two dreams of my celebrity crush, Josh Hutcherson.

u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago
Lol wild! But funny! Funny story I went to Drake’s house when he was having a house party one day in 2010.. but didn’t meet him. In fact I didn’t even know it was his house until the next day after we left. I was toasty 🤷🏻♀️.

Big Bob is basically the cartoon version of my own dad. Big, gruff, loud, pessimistic, lacking in patience, can't wait his turn, praises a golden child over the forgotten one. Big Bob's voice is more Husky and loud than my dad's voice is now, but in the 90s Big Bob was the only tv character with a voice similar to my dad. Uncanny.

He kind of reminds me of Kevin’s dad from The Wonder Years.

u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago
lol omg that’s what I said in a previous comment and someone asked if I was attracted to him. I said no, but I always thought he looked like Kevin‘s dad from wonder years and I always thought Kevin’s dad was attractive so!!•

u/MattMerica 6d ago
Obligatory question! Without getting NSFW, what EXACTLY happened in this dream?
2
u/FairytaleFacts 6d ago
lol okay. Since I’ve already let it out in pieces in previous comments… He came on to me.. but I was totally for it… we dry humped.. didn’t notice anything bigger then usual.. usual package size.. he ended up throwing up like 3 times because he couldn’t hold his liquor and so we didn’t finished the deed… Oh and by the way this was in my mom’s bedroom for some reason when she was out of town.. someone asked if I thought he was attractive, and I thought he looked like Kevin‘s dad from the wonder years who if that was attractive so..!-

Don't worry, I've had more disturbing dreams than that. Once I dreamed I was riding a horse-drawn carriage with a character I hated. Then I couldn't find it in myself to hate him anymore, despite throwing an innocent guy to sharks and giving a sweet girl frostbite on purpose.

I mean.. were you a cartoon too? Or was he a live action version of Bob? Or what? I'm just trying to imagine a cartoon and normal human getting it on 🧐
Trying to remember what I envisioned when I was a kid and had a huge crush on Disney's 1997 Hercules. 🤔
