He was stern when he needed to be with his kids, funny when it was appropriate, taught them lessons, and helped his kids whenever he could if they got in over their heads. Now I have a great father of my own, but I always did love Uncle Phil and how much loved his family, even as a kid growing up. Rest In Peace James! :)

The fake #1 definitely should be considered a dishonorable mention. Thanos was abusive towards his adoptive daughters, Gamora and Nebula. Although he claims that he loves Gamora, his actions are anything but loving (actions speak louder than words, after all). Thanos forced Gamora and Nebula to fight one another in training, and he tortured Nebula whenever she lost each of these battles by ripping her body parts and replacing them with prosthetic parts. Heck, he even killed Gamora in favor of the Soul Stone! Yeah, it's definitely not loving at all. Thanos is a perfect example of a father figure that you CERTAINLY DO NOT want to have. Also... I should have seen #9 in the second half of the list coming from a mile away... MY GOSH I miss Yondu so... so much. 😢😢😭😭😭💔💔

He was funny while still being firm on certain things and was a great father figure to not only his children but also Shawn and anyone else who was in Corey’s life. The episode where Shawn was being manipulated by a “cult”, Alan sticks up for Shawn and protects him as one of his own.

Whereas names like James Avery, John Ritter, Bob Saget, and Bernie Mac were father figures that were all unique in their own respective sitcoms that define themselves as what makes a dad. Miss those guys as they helped shape my childhood and teen years.
RIP Uncle Phil! Garriet Morris on Jamie Foxx Show was a good father figure aswell!
Yay Giles! I LOVE BTVS❤ *You REALLY had me going with that Thanos bit 😳
So many good Uncle Phil comments! I think that just goes to show how well James Avery played him and how much he put into the character. He was stern when he needed to be with his kids, funny when it was appropriate, taught them lessons, and helped his kids whenever he could if they got in over their heads. Now I have a great father of my own, but I always did love Uncle Phil and how much loved his family, even as a kid growing up. Rest In Peace James! :)
Uncle Ben is rolling in his grave! How could he not make the list??? With great power comes great responsibility after all

The fake #1 definitely should be considered a dishonorable mention. Thanos was abusive towards his adoptive daughters, Gamora and Nebula. Although he claims that he loves Gamora, his actions are anything but loving (actions speak louder than words, after all). Thanos forced Gamora and Nebula to fight one another in training, and he tortured Nebula whenever she lost each of these battles by ripping her body parts and replacing them with prosthetic parts. Heck, he even killed Gamora in favor of the Soul Stone! Yeah, it's definitely not loving at all. Thanos is a perfect example of a father figure that you CERTAINLY DO NOT want to have. Also... I should have seen #9 in the second half of the list coming from a mile away... MY GOSH I miss Yondu so... so much. 😢😢😭😭😭💔💔

I love Mr. Feeny as your top TV pick, but personally I’d put Uncle Phil ahead of everyone, TV and movies. Fresh Prince finale, I’ll never forget his last interaction with Will: “You are my son.” James Avery had sooooooo much range in that role. That’s my TV dad, through and through.
Honorable mentions: 1. Master Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise) 2. Phillip Drummond (Diff'rent Strokes)

Uncle Phill was a father figure to every black child without one! He is mine top father figure in tv.
Happy Father's Day! The best father figures are Julius from Everybody Hates Chris, Bernie Mac from The Bernie Mac Show, and though I'm not a huge fan of this show, Danny Tanner from Full House. It seems like the best father figures in media are mainly from TV, mostly sitcoms.
Happy Father's Day to my uncle Chris.
Uncle Phil the best on screen father figure 🙌🏽
Bob Belcher is best animated dad
Anyone who has seen the underrated movie 'A Bronx Tale' directed by and starring Robert De Niro, would agree that Chazz Palminteri's character 'Sonny' deserves a spot on this list.
I just started watching the video and if Bobby Singer is not on the list I'm rioting.
You included Uncle Phil & "Daddy" Yondu. I am satisfied. Mostly. I fully believe that Hagrid was more of a father figure than Sirius to Harry.

It's a crime against humanity that you did not put John Schneider as Jonathan Kent in Smallville at the top of this list, much less at all. His father portrayal was so impactful, I often used him as a standard in being a dad myself. Not having him on this list is a massive insult.
I wish Danny, Jessie, and Joey made the list.

Ben Healy - Problem Child before Tony Stark. Ben is Unarguably one of the greatest Dad's in Movies. Anyone who put up with Junior that long without leaving him duct taped in a Dumpster is Father of The Century.
Uncle Phil has not a great uncle, but he practically adopted Will as a son and guide him and protects him. Alfred is not a great father figure to Bruce but a friend as well.
Bill Cosby if you were just basing it on tv or movie
Will with his ‘how come he don’t want me man’ and his uncle Phil pulling him into a hug had me in tears!
Nah the thanos joke threw me. 😅😅😅 gud one.
Ok. Totally agree with #1 on tv. When they said father figures he was the one I thought of.
Wow they got me with Thanos 😂
Mr. Feeney is absolutely the right choice but I’d like to submit for an honorable mention to Alan Matthews from Boy Meets World. He was an incredible tv dad that showed his vulnerabilities, his faults, and his mistakes with true dad colors. He was funny while still being firm on certain things and was a great father figure to not only his children but also Shawn and anyone else who was in Corey’s life. The episode where Shawn was being manipulated by a “cult”, Alan sticks up for Shawn and protects him as one of his own.
What about Johnathan Kent?
The disrespect to the Weasley's here is so uncalled for. Sirius was not the first parental figure Harry could look up to. He had shining examples in Molly and Arthur.
On the TV side, I’d add Dr. Aaron Glassman from “The Good Doctor.” On the movie side, I’d add Dr. Carlock from Temple Grandin. Because father figures who see past a person’s disability and bring out the best in that person are so important.
Honestly, the fact that Burt Hummel from Glee was not on the list is a big eff you. Burt Hummel was the ultimate dad
When you guys do an animated version of this list, please include John Silver from the underrated Disney masterpiece, Treasure Planet. 🙏
Dr. Cox from Scrubs should've been on the list. Even though he wasn't the father figure that J.D. wanted, he still taught J.D. pretty much everything he knew. At the end of the series, we see that J.D. truly did become one of the best doctors because of everything he learned from Dr. Cox.
So Pedro Pascal is the ultimate TV dad? (he has two entries on the list)
How Rocky Balboa showing Apollo's son the ropes as he coached and trained him it should have honorable mention.
Alfred was the best father figure, but Mr. Miyagi was near the top
I love Mr. Feeny but we all know Dr. Cliff Huxtable is #1
Where was Carl Winslow?
No James Evans from good times is crazy smh
#1 for TV was a great choice. No one quite pulled off the father figure on TV like Mr. Feeny, except for maybe Uncle Phil. For movies, I would have made Iron Man #5, Alfred Pennyworth #4, Sirius Black to #3, Sean Maguire #2, and #1 is perfectly fine with me.
I would've swapped Uncle Phil for Mr. Feeney, but I'm just nitpicking.
I just want to wish a happy Father's Day to all dad's. Have a great day y'all and especially my epic dad in Heaven. Have a blessed and froggie day dad, I love you. 💜
What a bunch of great father figures
The Best Father Figures are the ones who always treated characters like the True Fathers they are: To Be the Fathers at their Children's Sides at All Times for Support.
Mike Brady was played by Shakespeare actor Robert Reed he loved/bonded so well with the kids 👌👍🙏💙😍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏😊

Splinter : "You will listen *now*. My Master Yoshi's first rule was "Possess the right thinking. Only then can one receive the gifts of strength, knowledge, and peace." "I have tried to channel your anger, Raphael, but more remains. Anger clouds the mind. Turned inward, it is an unconquerable enemy. You are unique among your brothers, for you choose to face this enemy alone. But as you face it, do not forget them, and do not forget me. I am here, my son."

I don't agree with the whole list but one that should have been included was Captain Bobby Nash from the series 911.
Mitch Buchannon from Baywatch should be on here.
You might add twentieth-century Doctor Who: The first three definitely, Tom Baker less so with a smaller apparent age difference (though Colin Baker contrived to be paternal in similar circumstances) until his last few stories; Peter Davison was more the John Boy/Gilbert Grape senior brother dealing with multiple siblings (until his last story). In the 21st century reboot, the Doctors have been required to have near-romantic chemistry with companions (returning Sarah Jane had to confess a thing for her original Doctors) except for Peter Capaldi professing a 'duty of care' - where he let the ball crop badly for a couple of them and had a Dad's Horrible Friend figure with 'lovable alien Nardole'
