Hagar the Horrible: Hagar Knows Best

Hagar the Horrible: Hagar Knows Best is a 1989 animated television special based on the comic strip Hagar the Horrible by Dik Browne.

Summary
When Hagar returns home from battle after two years, he faces a major culture shock. His son Hamlet has bilged out of the Viking Academy (Hagar's alma mater), and his beloved daughter Honi is now dating a minstrel named Lute, having broken up with her old boyfriend Olaf for being slovenly and ill-mannered. Hagar blames Helga for allowing Honi to date Lute and enrolling Hamlet in a school where he can read books. He then demands that Honi not date any man who cannot meet Viking standards, then forbids Hamlet from reading books until the Viking Academy agrees to take him back. The kids make an attempt to make their father happy, where Hamlet practices archery and rowing with his father and Lucky Eddie, while Honi trains Lute how to do Viking things such as throw spears and eat meat with his hands and lick his fingers clean (which Lute finds aborhent). That night, Hamlet and Lute are worn out, while Hagar comes home with several Vikings as potential suitors.
