Hank hill is selling fossil fuel and that's what he is - a fossil. His heavy accent drives me crazy I just want to strangle his square neck. Sometimes when I re-watch old episodes of "King of the Hill", I just want Beavis and Butthead to show up and kick his fuckin ass until propane comes out of it.

I think that's kind of what Mike Judge goes for though, like how Office Space is loved by exactly the same people it makes fun of.

Ironically, its dullness was what got me hooked. Hank's blind conservatism is just really funny. Like there was an episode where he met a gay couple in the park and assumed they were brothers, until they took him to a gay bar, where he said everything went "horribly wrong". Oh and how can you not love his signature "BWAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Bobby could have probably be a true protagonist of the series, he is the least repulsive character. He's like Eric Cartman after a lobotomy. But he has only so little screen time that it seems like we hardly get to know him at all! Then again, it has it's charm to it, in small dosages - I guess, it was the point of the show: unlike in Daria, the viewers didn't have a smart main character who would explain what's right and what's wrong, so they had to make their own damn minds. Maybe that is what this show was all about. And Boomhauer is a completely pointless character as well. Edited by Yar, 8 Feb 2012, 11:51 AM.

Deleted User	Here's an epiphany of epic proportions. I'm not sure if you'll be able to handle this revelation. Spoiler: click to toggle If you don't like it, then don't watch it. And if you don't like it, then why are you paying any mind to it?

Really intelligent, bro - having opinions only on those things that you enjoy, that's really multi-dimensional erudition you got there. And, besides, how is that even possible? a) How can you watch only things you like if you don't know for sure will you like them or not due to the nature of media entertainment b) How can you have an opinion on something you haven't watched enough to like or dislike? Or are you against voicing negative opinions in general? Then, by your own logic, why have you even bothered to reply to the comment you have disliked and don't agree with? You should only read comments you like and only communicate with those who agree with you. Bottom line is, your remark was completely pointless, you should strangle yourself with a plastic bag duct-taped to your neck. Edited by Yar, 8 Feb 2012, 07:05 PM.

They're shaking hands. How is that not hilarious!? This show is awesome.

	Hall of fame. 1. Varmit. 2. Alaskvarhehas. 3. Zinna. Santorum toplist. 1. FederalistFilms. 2. Clamju. 3. Maybe you ? Honorable mention 1. Podiecore. 2. Nemesis. Spoiler: click to toggle It's time this country stopped choosing ex-Etonians and millionaires for its leaders (the present cabinet has 23 millionaires out of 29 members). Those who come from silver-spoon backgrounds like Cameron's are, despite their smarmy rhetoric, are out of touch with the reality or ordinary life. Any government run by such people is bound to favour its own class. Won't we ever learn? We don't live in a democracy. Never have done. Our basic freedoms are being eroded at an alarming rate, and we are letting it happen. One day it'll be too late. If we vote these idiots, it signifies our approval of, and faith in, the system, so who are we to complain? If there's there's no-one worth voting for, we should pass a vote of no confidence by not voting at all. Has anyone any views on the forthcoming Jubilee? I have, but they're probably unprintable! Personally, I think it's high time the whole idea of monarchy was scrapped. It's long past its sell-by date and totally inapproriate in any modern egalitarian (joke) society. As long as we have a parasitic monarchy, any claims to being a democratic country are a sham. Ultimately, the British state exists to serve, protect, maintain and honour: 1. the reigning monarch. 2. the royal family. 3. the wealthy elites who bask in royal patronage. 4. big business in general and the City of London scam. 5. the honours system (where the queen is legally defined as the "Fount of Honour" (being the source of 'honour' she can't confer honours upon herself - unlike Idi Amin!). 6. the legal system (where HM is legally defined as the "Fount of Justice" (she is immune to all laws made in her name) Symbolically, the Jubilee is a celebration of this out-dated, unjust, hierarchical system. It commemorates the one moment in 1953 when the Archbishop of Canterbury (as head magician of the 'Established Church') anointed Mrs Elizabeth 'Windsor-Mountbatten' with holy oil behind a screen. This 'sacred' act alone magically made her queen. A load of archaic, meaningless, hocus-pocus - all performed at taxpayers' expense.

I think it's a nice contrast to Mike Judge's Beavis and Butthead, though.

I especially could relate to Hank in the episode when the Asians are building a giant mansion in his neighborhood, because that is a pretty big problem here where I live - not the Asians, but illegal development. Though the ending to this episode was pretty anti-climatic, and nobody have really changed. whatsstrength 7 Feb 2012, 02:43 PM Yar 7 Feb 2012, 05:37 AM Is it just me, or is Bobby Hill a sort of "special" kid? hmmmm.... you might be onto something. If I remember correctly, he was sent to the Special Ad class at some point. And Hank is such an asshole to his kid - he never gives him a break, he's always disappointed in him, he's never glad. I'm not saying he doesn't love his son, but his love is too tough, it's almost psychotic, the child is definitely gonna have some trauma. Edited by Yar, 9 Feb 2012, 12:29 PM.

I'm not saying he doesn't love his son, but his love is too tough, it's almost psychotic, the child is definitely gonna have some trauma. It's basically a replay of Hank's relationship with his own hard-ass father. However I don't think the kid would have trauma, he will grow up to be a fairly well-rounded individual, just like Hank. Even as a kid he has a pretty sharp wit at times and he's not a total introvert despite being a bit of a loser in his school. I think Hank is an excellent father, honestly. He attempts to imbue in his child a respect for hard work, the value of a dollar, frugal living, modesty and honesty as well as teaching him to fight his own battles and take an interest in things around the house (I think in one episode he shows him how to disassemble a carburetor or some such).
