I think its weakest seasons were the first two! Its gone nowhere but up.

It's told me everything I need to know about Texas, Sam. I just need to know which of you and Dee is Peggy and which Luanne.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 24 April 2005 08:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Sam is Boomhauer and Dee is Cotton!

lol hank has a narrow eurethra lol peggy is dumb lol bobby is fat and kinda gay lol propane lol chuck mangione

i just explained all the jokes you will ever see on king of the hill, there is no need to watch it now

webber (webber), Sunday, 24 April 2005 10:21 (eighteen years ago) link

It's not a very funny show. Every episode has a sappy sentimental ending where Hank smiles wistfully, everyone's enjoying a picnic, or Bill's being honored on an aircraft carrier.

And all that's between is Dale saying "Boy, this is a funny situation. Wonder how you're going to get out of it, Hank?" and Boomhauer talks really fast.

as a Texan i love this show (and i often wonder how much of the humor carries over) -- i didn't realize how accurate (if obviously exaggerated) a depiction of Texas it was until I left for a while. i like the obvious affection the show has for its characters (which translates to an affection for people from this part of the country--which is rare). peggy hill's poor spanish is just a perfect regional joke.

I remember interviewing Judge as part of a press conference thing for the Beavis and Butthead movie and he was quietly proud and excited talking about the imminent debut of King of the Hill, you could tell he was looking forward to using his relative clout to get something he'd oversee on the air (as MTV had locked down ownership of B&B). While I've not watched the show much there's always been a good zinger or two whenever I did, and I like the fact that his hopes back in late 1995 have translated into something with an even longer run than B&B.

This used to be my favorite program until Peggy Hill's parachute jump caused the show's shark jump.

and i often wonder how much of the [Texan] humor carries over...

The start of that one episode where Bobby points to the sky at a barbecue and says, "Look, it's ashes!" when it turns out to be snow, and everyone wrecks their car pulling out of the parking lot... that was pretty close to the bone, I tells you.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Sunday, 24 April 2005 15:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I watch it, and enjoy it, while I am really bothered by its politics. I don't like the way the show sets up these straw "liberal" targets, and am suspicious of anything that sets up "common sense" as the goal to which we as Americans aspire. As a celebration of provincialism it's annoying and simple-minded, even though it's never quite as simplistic as you might think. But it is kind of what this country is like, I guess, during this horrible era. And I think Bobby's pretty funny, getting gout from his chicken-liver fix. I've visited Texas many times and have had a good time, but I'm not a Texan and that whole mentality gets under my skin a little bit.

one year passes...
A ten year run! (And I got my story of the Mike Judge interview wrong, it was obv. late 1996, not late 1995.)

Revival prompted in part by Wikiquote browsing and finding this exchange:

Dale: "So it turns out I'm not the actual Dale Gribble, but a clone of him. The original Dale Gribble is a super-warrior from the year 2087. The second me, i.e. I, was created to help the first me fight the invading Mongol armies."

Hank: "Dale, that's asinine, and here's four reasons why. First, you're not gonna clone a super-warrior out of a guy who can't even win a thumb-wrestling match. Two, you've spent your life swearing that the robots will eliminate the clones by the year 2010, so which is it, robots or clones? Three, you've already said you sympathize with the invading Mongolians of 2087, so you'd be the last one they'd send to fight them. And four, if you were from the future, you would have seen this coming." (Punches Dale in the arm)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

the most underrated show ever?

A B C (sparklecock), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Peggy should know Hank can't enjoy himself at a party until he knows where the bathroom is.

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

great show

i knew i would love my ex for all time when she told me years ago that bobby hill was her personal hero

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i am going to watch this when i get home from work

ai lien (kold_krush), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:00 (seventeen years ago) link

A ten year run!

Wow. I remember when it debuted when I was in college, and we'd all see who could run to the TV fast enough to turn it off after The Simpsons was over.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

haha i guess you feel silly now

deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:04 (seventeen years ago) link

it's hank. he's the man with the best quotes.

"bobby, al yankovic killed himself in the 80s when people stopped buying his albums."

acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:19 (seventeen years ago) link

great show - unlike the Simpsons, knew when to stop too.

I wish Bobby Hill was real and would write a self-help book.

baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:19 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah srsly king of the hill has been funnier than the simpsons since like the second season at latest.

A B C (sparklecock), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:20 (seventeen years ago) link

All the episodes when Peggy gets excited about something and gets shot down always break my heart.

S/D: Chuck Mangione appearances

Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:29 (seventeen years ago) link

DALE gets all the best lines though:

"I know what's wrong with it. It's a Ford. You know what they say Ford stands for don't ya? 'Fix it again, Tony'."

baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Dale = Hunter S. Thompson + WS Burroughs

so of course he gets the best lines!

"If you want to elect me, Dale Gribble, president of the Gun Club, running on the Save-Your-Sorry-Ass platform, say aye."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

i was all set to revisit this and make sure i wasn't wrong in my initial opinion that it sucked but seeing shakey make multiple posts in favor of it has made me shit-can that idea.

chicago kevin (chicago kevin), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm sure he also likes pizza and i'm sure as hell not gonna stop eating that

more laughs for the rest of us.

Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i love the ep where they have bobby taking ADD medication and he's acting all weird, like "there are 47 ridges on every checker except this one" and when he and ladybird both get up and go to the door when they sense Luanne is home

deej.. (deej..), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks to this thread I have learned that bobby is voiced by lucky louie's wife and more importantly kahn and hank's dad are artie from pete and pete, holy moly!

A B C (sparklecock), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 23:07 (seventeen years ago) link

three months pass...
So I'm on season 8 now and this has just been getting better and better. Some of Dale's dialogue has been amazing, and probably my favourite character. Although I do like Bill a lot of the time.

"Unlike the human, the rat drags it's genitals along the ground as it moves"

This season has been consistently great, especially Blood & Sauce. I just wish it would get something that looks like regular scheduling.

aldo, Friday, 20 April 2007 13:54 (sixteen years ago) link

At least it's not playing at 2:30 in the afternoon anymore.

"i already picked the country for our vacation: america. and the state: texas. and the town: denton. i don't care what their police did to that cyclist, it's still a good town."

and what, Friday, 20 April 2007 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link

HANK: I'm only going to read this once. "Hi, my name is Ladybird. I like long walks, my arthritis medication, and two cups of kibble a day. I'll try to outsmart you and get three cups, but I know you're too clever for that, Ms. Platter."
LUANNE: I don't know, Uncle Hank. She did write this letter and everything.

and what, Friday, 20 April 2007 14:05 (sixteen years ago) link

Bobby: What's that in your hand, grampa?

Cotton: Head of a nazzy! Nope, canteen.

Oilyrags, Friday, 20 April 2007 14:12 (sixteen years ago) link

From last week:

<trying to get on the tv show ZZ Top are making at Hank's house>
John Redcorn: Well, I have been sleeping with the wife of my friend for 14 years.
Dale: I'm sure Hank'll forgive you.

aldo, Friday, 20 April 2007 14:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Dale in the stands at a softball game: "Come on John Redcorn, SCORE! Can you believe this guy? He never strikes out!"

Oilyrags, Friday, 20 April 2007 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link

I've probably posted this a few times on this thread already, but this is still one of the best shows on television and might be Mike Judge's best creation. The ZZ Top episode was the closest it's been to losing the plot because of a celebrity guest, and it still held it together. The Simpsons is handling guest plots worse as the seasons go by...

Who's been the best guest on this show in terms of keeping a coherent plot and actually blending into the show? I was going to say Johnny Depp, then I remembered the Chuck Mangione episode!

mh, Friday, 20 April 2007 14:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Chuck Mangione episodes!

Was Ben Stiller the voice of the guy who joined Strickland Propane, who annoyed everyone?

I like that episode, but my copy missed off the end credits.

Is Anyone Watching The Goode Family? The New Mike Judge Show

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 00:58 (two years ago) link

tbh I don't think they'd all go MAGA - my dad didn't sell propane but his suburban white Texan guy friends moved slightly left as often as they moved hard right. Texas liberaltarians who still like guns are definitely a type.

Hank may have been the storied McCain-Obama-Trump-Biden voter.

papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 9 March 2022 01:16 (two years ago) link

He would’ve voted for Romney on the basis of hair alone

frogbs, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 01:58 (two years ago) link

he wasn’t willing to vote for George W Bush after one bad handshake, I’m sure he’d have found a reason not to vote for Trump

Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Wednesday, 9 March 2022 02:13 (two years ago) link

Trump is too showbiz and New York for Hank, I think.

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 March 2022 02:19 (two years ago) link

He sure as hell wouldn't have voted for Hilary though, I imagine

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 March 2022 02:20 (two years ago) link

He's retired, taking his time, grilling with charcoal. Maybe not voting.

something that was just pointed out to me is that whenever Peggy insists something is a fact it is actually her opinion and when she claims something's her opinion it's actually a fact

frogbs, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 02:58 (two years ago) link

Wasn’t there a bit where she was a Spanish teacher (substitute?) who couldn’t speak so
Spanish?

I regularly refer to spaghetti as spapeggy.

Cow_Art, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 03:47 (two years ago) link

something I really appreciate about this show is how unique both the writing and the art style are. like it's brilliant in some ways and extremely clunky in others but they're different ways than any other animated show

frogbs, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 04:58 (two years ago) link

Trump is too showbiz and New York for Hank, I think.

This would, on the face of it, be a dealbreaker for millions of people who ended up voting for him.

wonder if they'll even go on with the reboot now? Brittany Murphy's gone, Tom Petty's gone, now one of your show's most recognizable voices. and they already said they weren't gonna have Khan in it.
