I'm doing a rewatch of the series and I'm trying to find the two specific episodes revolving around Buck's emu farm specifically where Buck gives Hank free reign to shoot them all, anyone remember off hand which episode that was?

Really any time Buck is around not doing propane things (so...every time he's around?) is a great part

Fun with Jane and Jane, or some such? The one with the cult.

"Bobby, I never thought I'd need to tell you this, but I would be a bad parent if I didn't. Soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking."

"Why do you have to hate what you don't understand?"

"I don't hate you, Bobby."

"I meant soccer."

"Oh. Oh, yeah, I hate soccer. Yes. "

As great as the show is all over, this will always be the greatest exchange.

Inyourbase posted:

That episode always made me really sad, because by the end of the series the writers had just made Hank openly verbally abusive towards Bobby. Doesn't Hank flat out tell him "You've never been interested in anything good." ?

I don't know about ABUSIVE but I think the biggest problem the show had was the flux between both Hank's parenting ranging from 'amish spaz' to 'conservative dude who's a bit of a buzzkill' and Bobby's general personality being between 'manbaby freak' and 'class clown'. It made the ending feel a bit cheap because taken in all of that context it was kinda 'Hank shouldn't have to make any effort, Bobby should become mini-Hank to please him' which didn't really gel with the entire point of the Cotton/Hank stuff from the past.

He's not real per se but when we lived in Texas there were several guys like him, Korean not Laotian however, who went to our church; they all had that same cadence and diction, it's creepy.

Yea here in Houston we have a big southeast Asian population, and I've met a good many dudes who act/sound just like Ted, so I have no doubt believing that he's a mashup of the typical 'wealthy Asian immigrant snob' crowd that comes up.

The first episode in general is just weird. I wouldn't really call it "bad", but it's so strikingly different from the rest of the series that it really throws you for a loop.

Yea all in all it was just really 'off' compared to even the second episode, Hank is more of a crazy dick, Bobby's just plain cruel, and in general has a weird tone to the show.

A 5.9 is very, very slow and would cap him out at the high school level. He holds a tiny high school's record, and reveres it. It's a very Hank thing to do.

Yea the joke is on Texas football culture. Hank was a star on his small high school team and in basically any other area it'd be 'cool whatever' but in Texas he and his buddies talk about it with near holy reverence.

I honestly think the '5.9' thing isn't just writers being dumb, it fits into the core joke well with him being proud of what even in his day the real stars were doing far better, but he was the best of a small pool and in that district that's all that counts.

I really don't like the one where Bobby steals Hank's credit card. He's such a petulant rear end in a top hat in that episode and it makes me angry.

Yea that was such a blend of 'Bobby may be legit retarded' with him having zero concept of money at age 13 and him just randomly being horrible to his father because someone said he may have 'oil money' I turn it off.

The little league episode is also hard to watch. Bill on his power trip is funny but everyone is just such a random piece of poo poo to Hank without the excuse of 'haha ok it's Bill and he's enjoying having his only taste of power' to make it funny.

I guess if I was a girl I'd like Connie's first period since the ladies I talk to who watch KotH think it's a pretty nice 'very special episode' kinda thing, but as a dude who has never experienced something like that it's just super awkward and 'yep...periods...' to me.

From the earlier stuff, the one where Hank hires a junkie. It has some fun moments like 'Peggy's in the parking lot...she looks disgruntled!' but I just can't get over the long string of 'disability, PFT more like FAKER BABIES' jokes. Same with the pilot, I said before Bobby's such a terrible sociopath to Hank and this weird underlying 'CPS? Pft what do they know' theme made me uncomfortable.

Santa Bill is just like...crushing...I guess it was funny the first time but the humor's kinda gone by now.

On a different note, the motorcycle episode used to be one I avoided, but after watching it a couple times I really enjoyed it.

Bill really is a good portrayal of just clinical depression to the extreme. It's not about being sad all the time, it's just the feeling of 'gently caress it' that gets you. Like the pasta thing, a lot of shows have someone cry over something like that, but as someone with depression who has eaten food right out of the pot when he noticed he's not had the will to press the 'wash dishes' button, the attitude is just 'welp, this is pretty much what I deserve'. Obviously it's kicked up to the extreme because it's a cartoon but there are a few legit 'oh, yea, been there' moments in there.

I feel Liberal parody doesn't generally work because its hard not to seem mean spirited in making fun of liberal leaning people.

It was a great example of how poo poo like this isn't always 'punching up vs punching down'.

King of the Hill makes fun of conservatives, not maliciously, Hank's a conservative dude, but it ribs the more absurd moments of life in a dominant conservative area. It's making fun of it but there's a clear heart to it.

The Goode Family had zero heart, it was just "HAHA LOOKIT THIS FUCKIN LIBERAL SISSY DUDES, HE DRIVES A FUCKIN PRIUS WHAT A DORK".

Haha what the hell, they got a guy like Brendan Fraser in the early 2000's to come in and just bark? I loving love King of the Hill.

Yea that's what I thought I heard about him too, he's not super into the 'Hollywood scene' or anything but he's a nice and respected enough guy where he can basically just call up most anyone for a favor and they'll most likely say yes.

Those episodes are rare but necessary. The one where bill is hooking up with Reverend Stroup is another one where Hank is an unbearable rear end in a top hat.

That was such a weird episode in general, it felt like it was meant to be a parody of that dumb idea that even protestant priests aren't allowed to date or whatever and I was thinking Hank would be smart enough to see how dumb it was but...no the point was just kinda 'yep it sure is gross for a priest to date'...

At a previous job I worked with 2 guys who were serious bodybuilders(as in competitions and such) and they were decent guys but definitely very regimented about their lives. The scene where they sit and wait for bedtime is almost dead-on, although not to the same ends. Everything is for a set time, they eat the exact same amount of food daily, drink the same amount of water, wait a specific time before doing ____, etc.

I'd hesitate to call these guys true meatheads like the ones in the episode but there were some hilarious and accurate similarities for sure.

Yea I have a friend into the bodybuilding competitions and all and he's the same way. He's way less intense of course but yea I've called him and had him straight up say 'yea I'm just hanging around waiting for it to be time to sleep'. Dude's ripped as gently caress so I guess it works.
