5. Hank's Dirty Mind
Hank had an instantaneous willingness to find a sexual double entendre in the most innocent of actions, e.g., when Skyler walks into the pool. Hank's suggestive comment "pool party" is lurid with sexual innuendo. You can just tell. He used "raging hardon" in a pep talk for his DEA guys - and women - and then sarcastically apologizes to the "HR" department (Human Resources) and changes it to "grow tumescent with anticipation." This is just plain creepy and, yes, it was part of his way to put people off their game and maintain dominance, but it was also extremely distasteful and obnoxious. Hank was also a bully and always talking about what it meant to be a man: he had one-liners about masculinity and being macho. One of his most insulting remarks was in the very first episode. Hank's showing off his gun to Walter Jr. He pontificates about his gun's wonderfulness: "Unless you're talking Plus Two Plus loads..." Don't these types love their jargon? They think it makes them sound authoritative and superior. Walt. Jr. then hands the gun to his father. "Heavy," is all Walt says. And Hank rears back you can almost see the glee oozing out of him... I'm gonna get him, he's thinking and says, "That's why they hire men, Walt." Nice, Hank.
