King of the Hill

Post Reply New Topic

Who in here is a big fan of King of the Hill? I am. My favorite character is Dale, and I suspect that Hank might be an Aspie based on his beliefs.

In real life, I tend to be a mix of Hank, Dale, and Bill.

I also find Mr. Strickland very funny. And Cotton, and Khan.

My favorite episode is the one where Cotton buys a timeshare in Mexico, and he likes it because "they have the water that doesn't give you the hot poops".

Love the show. Reminds me of my old home. One of my neighbours in Cedar Park (suburb just NW of Austin) was Boomhauer... guy down the street was, I swear, the model for Dale.
First time the wife saw it, she's listening to Hank talk to Bobby about.. something, I forget... turns to me and says "Dear god, you're Hank!"
On those occasions (and they do happen now n then) when I miss Texas, I just watch me some King of the Hill and I start feelin' better right quick.

Great show. I don't understand why people hate it, though. I think it's because it's too honest a cartoon; it doesn't have the offbeat humor of the big three (The Simpsons, South Park, and Family Guy). It is a very realistic look at the American family, however. That's why I love it.

BTW, my favorite episode is Bobby Goes Nuts. "THAT'S MY PURSE! I DON'T KNOW YOU!"

Much love for King Of The Hill! The creator, Mike Judge, is from Austin and the characters and humor are heavily rooted in Texas reality. My neighbors across the street ARE Hank and Peggy Hill. They don't look the same and he works in a hardware store instead of a propane store, but the way they speak, their mannerisms and their general outlook on life are frighteningly similar to Hank and Peggy. I also work with a Dale- conspiricy theory nut-job.

I'm surprised so many people outside Texas get the humor, especially the really Texas-centric stuff like in the whooping crane episode. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt, but I can totally picture someone from, say, Canada or the UK watching that episode and thinking WTF!?!

Diseased- when where you in Cedar Park? Some of my wife's family lives up there.

Bubba... (love the name... awesome movie)... lived there in the early-mid-90's, just up the road from that one HEB at the intersection of...damn..gone now. Little furtherdown the road from there was another shopping center with a Pep Boys, a grocery store and a comic/book store, a Double Daves Pizzaworks and a music store... I did deliveries for DD's for a while.

More trivia-
KOTH takes place in the fictional city of Arlen, whose name is remarkably similar to Garland (a Dallas suburb). Coincidence? I don't think so.

Mike Judge also wrote and directed the movie Office Space. Great, great film! Required viewing if you work in IT.
