Brother Entropy posted:While we're on the topic of KotH dreams, I remember an episode where Hank is having a dream involving Lincoln, Washington, and Tom Landry talking to him and being disappointed in him about not the very obvious thing that you'd expect, but something really mundane and Hank-like to worry about when it comes to Bobby. Anyone have any idea what episode or what they were disappointed about? "Trans-Fascism," the episode where the politicians (POLITICIANS!  ) on the Arlen Town Council (THE GOVERNMENT! ) vote to ban Trans Fats after Ted Wasanasong tells them they should follow the example of more cosmopolitan cities (UPPER CLASS EAST COAST ELITE ) and Buck starts an illegal Sugarfoot's food truck to cash in on people's demand for the old fatty foods. Hank is all for it at first, but then realizes that by breaking the law he's setting a bad example for his son. You know, after I type it out like that I realize that American Dad! did almost the exact same plot. Both pretty good episodes, though the "reactionary politicians" stuff in the KotH episode is a little heavy handed. They were flying a bomber in World War II in the dream, also, which was another of those nice little surreal touches. Hank: But...I thought you'd be proud of me! Lincoln: (Quickly) We're not.

Ted Wasanasong's blatant hypocrisy, Hank being completely oblivious to the fact that they're bribing the cops with some "300 island dressing" on the bag of salad, and my personal favorite, the "Yes, we have Trans Fats" sign.

And it was a nice callback to Rooster from the episode were Bobby is caddying for Mr Strickland. My daddy's having a heart attack!

Some of my favorite quotes are from Luanne Virgin 2.0 (the one where Luanne becomes a "born again virgin") Luanne: Uncle Hank I quit being a virgin the first time I had sex. Hank: Nobody likes a quitter, Luanne. and Hank: We're going to make sure those kids a have a good time, not a great one. and of course Hank: The Vandergraafs!

Going from watching the constipation episode to the boat/bats episode is weird, especially seeing the way Hank acts. The way Hank is so proud of Bobby when he wants to build a boat is awesome. That entire episode is great. I mean, look at the stuff it has: Hank showing a very human flaw Peggy being smug about knowing freshman level whatever Bobby building a Tiki Hut And most importantly VAMPIRE BATTLESHIP.

The only problem was the characters are nothing alike. The first time we see Rooster, he's an aging, slow talking man and in the trans fat episode, he's a young, hyped up jerk.

Probably my favorite Peggy moment is when she's in front of a high school class trying to show how liquid nitrogen freezes a rose.

Rooseter's illegitimate son? Which reminds me of Mr Strickland's illegitimate son who they all just start calling Ray Roy (although his real name is Jody.) I think my favorite secondary KotH character is Principal Carl Moss.

I'd put Dooley or Thatherton over Carl Moss. I think Thatherton is higher just cause of how Hank and Buck act about him.

It was pretty amusing seeing prototypes of Peggy, Dale and Bill while I was rewatching Beavis and Butt-Head earlier. And of course Hank being Mr. Anderson. But everyone knows that.

Oregon here, and I didn't watch anything today but I remember seeing a promo earlier this week (possibly last night) that my FOX affiliate would be showing that episode as well.

Hm, the boggle championship episode came on and the girl who met with Peggy and Hank at the hotel sounds exactly like Reverend Stroup. SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY. And Saturday. Edit: LOSER!

Thank God Adult Swim started showing King of the Hill. I need at least two KotHs a day to meet my daily requirement. "Is this john occupied? Es esta Juan occupado?" Edit: You're calling me weak?

The Ray Roy thing was a nice callback to the old episode (season 5) where Buck mentions that he has a son that he doesn't know much about : Mr. Strickland: Reminds me of my boy. Hank: I didn't know you had a son. Mr. Strickland: Yeah, I lived in a different town, different woman. Name's Roy, Ray, somethin' like that. After sixteen years, I'm too embarrassed to ask. I just watched Life: A Loser's Manual for the first time, the episode where Peggy's brother (and Luanne's dad) Hoyt shows up after an extended stay on the "Oil rig." Good episode with some outstanding Hank moments. Hank: Soon you'll be needing this form - Voter Registration. It's like your magic ticket to jury duty. Hank's eyes are like saucers at the end of that statement, it's phenomenal.

In our house we've seen the episodes countless times but still get crabby if something causes us to miss our nightly dose.  My boyfriend will sometimes watch both showings, too, so it's 2 hours of KOTH.

I've come across more people than I thought who went through the same KotH feelings as I did -- I didn't really like it when it was on the air, but now that it's cancelled, and on all the time, I've sorta given it a chance, and realized it's way funnier now that I consider it to be a parody and not just some simpsons clone of some weird awkward family

That's it. It was always an exceptionally funny and satirical slice of life sitcom and excellently character driven. It ages well because it's so ubiquitously contemporary be it from real-world references or story themes.

I also find myself taking to the show a lot more now, and I think a lot of it has to do with the landscape of animated sitcoms. For years everyone was making Simpsons clones about modern families and King of the Hill was just this likable little show plugging away in the background. I'd watch it every once in a while, chuckle a couple times and forget about it again. Nowadays, blame it on Family Guy's belated success or whatever but so many animated shows are as surreal, nihilistic and in-your-face "edgy" as possible. And I LIKE that sort of thing, but it's such a breath of fresh air to watch King of the Hill and remember that a show can be firmly rooted in reality, treat its characters with respect and dignity, AND be funny. It would be so easy to let it devolve into a bunch of "lol rednecks" jokes but KOTH is too smart and subtle for that. Even my mom's gotten addicted to it now that it's on all the drat time.

LividLiquid posted:Hank is easy, but who are the prototypes for Dale and Bill? I'm not sure if this is what Meeble was referring to, but in the episode where B&B call the phone sex line, there is a man who looks just like Dale wearing nothing but boots and tighty whities (besides his hat and glasses), watching TV and smoking, in the phone sex operator's trailer. For those tracking this: the Fox affiliate in Atlanta played the bat episode Friday night.

In the Speech Therapy episode Beavis and Butt-head are forced to take a class with a woman who looks exactly like Peggy, and is just as clueless. As someone said earlier, there is a man that looks like Dale in the phone sex episode. (He is the dude smoking a cigarette in his underwear). The Bill one is a bit of a stretch. But in one episode Mr. Anderson goes to see an old friend of his named "Bill" who is a fat, balding bartender. .

My favorite Hank moment is when he imitates Clint Eastwood saying "That propane tank is empty," for his idea about a film based on propane.

I've always found KotH action sequences to be hilarious. Like when Luanne's mom attacked people or, my favorite, when they were shooting that video for the Cowboys and the rats got out and the monkeys were grabbing Nancy's hair.
