You're also forgetting that this is the same man that came up with the conclusion at one point that his son was an alien.

Spook posted:It isn't a joke, it is a mistake. Oh, you're right. It would be a pretty far stretch to imagine that the writers of 'King of the Hill' would ever use something as mundane as a typo on something like a driver's license, birth certificate, etc, to lead to all sorts of hilarity based on cultural shame. Especially if said mistake implied that the person in question was from New York, or, God forbid, Oklahoma. Mach5 fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Sep 17, 2009 |

Can someone ID the episode this Principal Moss quote is from? "Have you heard of a thing called the serenity prayer Hank? Cause this is one of those things I can't change." Its probably my favorite Moss quote.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Alamo My favorite quotes from the entire show is a Principal Moss line from Father of the Bribe, when the school officials think Connie is suicidal after breaking up with Bobby. "I gotta make sure your kids aren't planning some kind of 'I jump, you jump' Dungeons and Dragons crap." That whole episode is pretty drat great. "Hank, I am not on trial here. Kahn and Minh are, and possibly Bobby and Connie, but not me." And Dale's pirate radio station that only reaches three houses... JethroMcB fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Sep 18, 2009 |

Oh god, Dale saying the station was bought by foreign investors and then handing the mic to Octavio was gold. I like Danny Trejo as an actor so anytime Octavio is on makes me smile.

I finally got around to watching the finale, and it was pretty swwet (good, but I mean in a nice  way). Especially since KOTH just kind of...clicked for me a few years ago. I used to watch it when I was younger, but I didn't really get the understated humor of a lot of things. The bullshit surround its cancellation proves there's no justice in this world.

They had Little Lupe on tonight, which is good because it's the best Peggy episode and has that fantastic moment where the female cop pulls Peggy over to size her up and Peggy says she's one "cool customer" afterward.

Man, am I sad to see this show go. King of the Hill helped keep me sane through college. The university library had all the DVDs. I was that guy who basically slept in the library most nights studying or working on papers, and whenever I needed a break, I'd just go downstairs, grab a KOTH dvd off the shelf and watch for an hour or so. I liked the show before, but this practice made me a diehard fan. Now that I'm in grad school, it was like Christmas when I found out [adult swim] picked the show up. Just sayin' it makes you feel more like a man. Montana.

When I was seventeen or nineteen, I can't remember which, my Uncle Pete had a casual acquaintanceship with The Man. Still does as far as I know. I had the opportunity to write a spec-script for King of the Hill and knew, for a fact, that it would've wound up in the hands of Mike Judge. He may not have read it, but he would have gotten it. The only concept I could come up with at the time, which was relevant in 2001, was the idea of the Hills' favorite Luby's cafeteria being turned into a Starbucks (It was more relevant back then) with a B-story of Bobby and Joseph repeatedly debunking Dale's crazy theories only to discover he needed them to get by his daily life when the A and B stories collided with a crazy theory about Starbucks. It was poo poo. I knew it was poo poo. I knew I was too young and had no business turning a script into a man I'd admired since his career took off. I told my Uncle Pete that I was flattered he would even ask Judge about me, but that I couldn't in good conscience use his friendship (alleged friendship, anyway) to further my career. Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I'd have buckled down and written something I actually liked and gotten it into the man's hands. Edited for memory fuckage.

If I realized a year or so sooner just how much I had loved the show, I would've tried my hand at a script as well. Knowing the characters so well and having such an appreciation for them and their signature mannerisms is a drat fine base as long as you can get some solid skeletal scripts ideas in there too. livingfruitvirus did work on the goode family. He probably knows a lot of behind the scenes secrets! TheRationalRedditor fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Sep 20, 2009 |

LividLiquid posted:That, and a callback to "Thanks for the latte, Kenneth" are the only two jokes I remember. I wish I'd have kept my first draft. Not only did I not send it to the guy, I was so ashamed of it one night I got drunk and deleted it. Really you probably just have to start with Hank being shocked about something and work backwards from there.

Well there wwas also a whole thing were Hank hates Luby's (I think it might by Ludy's or Luly's in the show. But Luby's is a real Texas thing.) and only goes there because Bobby likes it, so nobody can figure out why he's fighting so hard to keep the Starbucks out, but then in the end it turned out that's where Peggy told him she was pregnant, which would be kind of a big deal anyway, but was a bigger deal because of his narrow urethra. Looking back on it, I totally should've turned it in. Even if it sucked, it's really not that bad of an idea for a teenager.

It doesn't bother your that your dad is gay, Dale? What? No! I've been friends with John Redcorn for years... I think that's how it goes. Also in the Thatherton episode, Boomhauer and John Redcorn are hanging out.

Hah, I love the early Halloween episode. Hank remembering what a bad kid he was then being sad and going to call him mom. Sad thing is when I later leaned that the "SATANIST!!!!!!!" thing was actually based on reality.
