Animal
Jet-pack wearing intellectual

 



Outfit:  red beard / white lab coat / thirst for knowledge

Tagline: "Now, Jonny..."

Plot summary: Dr. Quest follows only Dan Lauria from The Wonder Years as the best television dad of all time. Like most Hanna-Barbera fathers, the doctor presumably reproduced asexually, perhaps by pollinating a flower with his Golden Quest. This explains why Jonny is such a pansy. (more)

User Comments: Seriously, could you possibly have a dad better than Dr. Benton Quest? He would take you around the world, but always have your well-being in mind and never neglect you. If he were a lesser father, his relationship with Jonny would probably have been as such:

(Jonny and Dr. Quest sit in their futuristic rocket-styled jet plane)

Jonny: (taps baseball against window)
Dr. Quest: Stop that.
Jonny: Stop what?
Dr. Quest: That tapping. Stop it.
Jonny: Why?
Dr. Quest: (firmly) Just stop it.
Jonny: Haha, you're afraid!
Dr. Quest: I am not.
Jonny: You're afraid I'm going to break the window! You're afraid of being sucked out!
Dr. Quest: No, I'm not afraid.
Jonny: You're afraid you're going to be sucked out!
Dr. Quest: Give me that. (swipes baseball from Jonny)
Jonny: Way to not show up for my baseball game.
Dr. Quest: (angrily) You should be glad to have me as your father! I'm an attractive globe-trotting stud. Would you rather I impregnated some woman and left for the West Indies? Like James Bond! I could have been like Bond!
Jonny: Yeah, JUNK bond. (throws baseball at overhead compartment, pots and pans spill out)
Dr. Quest: AAAAAAAH!
