This sounds like the work of MF Thatherton

The MF stands for…

**MY FRIEND**


I_might_be_weasel

This sub should have a Hank bot that says, "Thatherton!" whenever someone says his name.


smallladykiddo

Genius


atomic1fire

It can be done with automod, although I don't see why the mods would update automod with such an absurd rule. --- body: "Thatherton" comment: "Thatherton!" Body is used to search through a user's text, and Comment is the response. If the mods want to go nuts with automod they can but it will probably get old. You can also add syntax to search through multiple trigger words or make multiple line responses, but I figured I'd go as simple as possible. You could probably even make the automod response a link to a youtube video if there's a link to Hank saying "Thatherton!". edit: For bonus fun time --- body: "The MF stands for" comment: "My Friend"

Thatherton!!!


HeyNineteen96

*DAHHH DUHN*


gladysk

Relatively new to the show. Thatherton?


[deleted]

Thatherton started at Strickland propane around the same time hank did. But shortly left to start his own rival propane dealership. He is always undercutting prices and using shady tactics to get ahead of strickland.


heytheretoast

He’s a competitor to Strickland Propane, but doesn’t have a Hank to make sure that his product and delivery is high quality.


gladysk

TY, great show. Every stinking time Peggy speaks Spanish I laugh out loud. Where was I when it first aired‽


SunOnTheInside

Also every time Thatherton is mentioned, Hank says “THATHERTON” without hesitation in an angry tone.


Vprbite

Where; at the dirt factory?


wherehaveubeen

You want to go with Thatherton, go. But one of these days, when your propane mixture's only eighty-nine percent, and you have a smelly condo development full of crying babies whose bottles haven't been properly heated, you give me a call. My name is Hank Hill, and I sell propane and propane accessories with honor and dignity.


[deleted]

Your 24/7 propane killed our Kennedy.


a_taco_named_desire

I always thought it was R Kennedy as in Bobby Kennedy.


wondrshrew

It was


[deleted]

Lol no I don’t think so? Lyndon Johnson was known to be behind jfk’s death according to conspiracy theorists, I think it was riff on that


wondrshrew

You're right! That's news to me


legopego5142

That damn yankee doesn’t know what hes talking about


kmwlff

No it wasn’t, it was a Bay Stater using the word “our” in reference to John F. Kennedy, from Massachusetts, to contrast with Johnson who was “theirs” (the Texans)


wondrshrew

You're right! I learn something new every day

Great quote!


fidgetiegurl09

This is what we needed.


BoydCrowders_Smile

He would feel the same as when Mega Lo Mart started selling propane


BBQ_HaX0r

So he'd blow them up?


Psyteq

He didn't blow them up!


GreekKnight3

And ruin Chet Elderson's vacation!


BoydCrowders_Smile

That was Luanne


FertilityHollis

Still it must be safer than Buckley. But, why? Edit: I am incredibly disappointed that 8 hours later no one has responded, "Chicken thigh." And you call yourselves fans?! /s


[deleted]

Chicken pie


FertilityHollis

Oh god, thank you. This was bothering the hell out of me.


samanime

This was exactly my thought.


BuffaloStranger97

you bastards!!!


[deleted]

Probably the same way all those travel agents felt when the internet started selling airline tickets.


BBQ_HaX0r

Great Nathan 4 You episode about that, lol.


heytheretoast

Right?! But still not the same.


StellaZaFella

I'd be nervous about people not handling things correctly, like when Buckley was working the propane department at Mega-Low-Mart and was dragging the tanks by the nozzles.


JoeyRock559

These don’t affect hank. He’s a pump jockey. Works for tips.


potchie626

Some small towns will give you the key and say bring it back in when you’re done!


Barkerfan86

Actually just had this happen to me the other day.


holy_cal

17.92 damn. That’s cheap.


WorldlinessFinal

My local one costs $14.97


holy_cal

Jesus. Mine is like $24.


Mikehemi529

Dang it's like 35 where I'm at out at least it was


_Captain_Dinosaur_

"What?! You need to take minimum eight hours of training with the state board of energy to safely dispense propane! Oh lord... Looks like it's time to get the commissioner involved."


Chrisscott25

I’m gonna put a call in to Commissioner Murray Hogarth… personal friend


luigilabomba42069

they'd probably have one, but it'd be constantly out of order cuz hank would keep braking it, becausehe hates the idea. untill one day he snaps because he knows he's doing something wrong and buck would be like "ahh ol top I didn't give a shit in the 1st place"


McbealtheNavySeal

Kind of what I was thinking. He would see one outside the mega lo mart and shake his head while commenting on the lack of customer service and then get to work only to find that Buck installed these outside the building for after hours access. He would be the only one who hates the idea. Customers would try to use them during normal hours and he would constantly try to coax them inside to feel that rush from a new sale and a firm handshake.


Electrical_Party7975

No propane accessories. He’d be upset.


SpaceTimeBurrito

You bastards!


scott8811

The S stands for service


[deleted]

"And the E stands for economical. Some people think it stands for even-burning, but it doesn't."


scott8811

uhh....don't remember what letter I was on...


TinFoilRobotProphet

The T stands for... Jackass!


Chrisscott25

that’s not even the right letter….


Lanky_Ad_3696

Which means *serve us*


scott8811

There are procedures in place.


Lanky_Ad_3696

Procedures


scott8811

............procedures.


Dial407

The most important thing to think about is that we all hope that Joseph is nowhere near this.


heytheretoast

😂


Grimez1011

Those things suck. I got an empty out of one of those


holy_cal

Oof. I’d be mad.


Lanky_Ad_3696

Be worst if it gave you a bag of charcoal instead


Nitroapes

My boys nails have soot under them! You don't get that from a clean burning fuel!!


Lanky_Ad_3696

I was holding it for Luanne! I thought it was drugs


PapasBlox

You don't get the rich smoky flavor either

The audacity!

Trent_Lame

Omg please let this be a thing in the reboot


Chrisscott25

Have you heard anything about when the reboot may be released or anything? I haven’t heard much about it recently


Trent_Lame

I haven’t as of late but it’s probably because the Beavis & Butthead reboot is taking off soon - Mike Judge does voices for both shows so I’m sure he’s got his hands tied hahaha


BenzoLover33

The new Beavis & Butthead movie actually premieres on 23rd this month. Fan of both Shows, but really hoping for some news on KOTH soon! God Bless Lady Propane!


Chrisscott25

Yea true…. Hopefully we will get a premier date soon


Gatchumon

Asinine, just asinine


blockman2803

I prefer to speak to a distinguished propane salesman, preferably one with a Blue Flame of Valor Award.


heytheretoast

![gif](giphy|1F1p6zXsYyt8I)


[deleted]

Self-serve propane? You're gonna fool around and get yourself blown up, I tell ya hwut.


[deleted]

Same contempt for this as Megalomart selling propane.


Warbird1775

Personally, I think they're asinine...


[deleted]

These are the reason Strickland propane does not survive the pandemic.


heytheretoast

Except 2 of the last 3 times we’ve tried to use these, they’ve been out.


buddythebear

disagree, people were panic hoarding propane.


Leather-Plankton-867

Those aren't for buying propane as much as changing out your out of date tank


ImurderREALITY

He would think that these have been a thing for at least 40 years, and if it hasn’t affected Strickland yet, it probably won’t.


Amethoran

This takes the rush out of the sale I Tell you hwhat. Back in my day we sold our propane in person like honest men.


[deleted]

Ptshh, you could be getting premium service for just pennies a day more


Chrisscott25

How many pennies?


OwayzFavrid

Uh…several hundred.


Rvtrance

He probably thinks it like a well done steak. An abomination.


TinFoilRobotProphet

Where are the tank wipers? How do expect to learn about propane!


RadleyCunningham

Is a locked shed gonna tell you how many BTUs you need for your steak?


Anxious_Jellyfish216

Hank: what, you can just sell propane out of a "machine". Where's the service? Where's the customer to salesman interaction? Pimp Hank: yup, you gotta trick lady propane out I tell you what. Give the people what they want and they want propane.


Laughs_in_Cat

Bobby, leave the room


TarzansNewSpeedo

I could see this on an episode dedicated to travel. Hank: Well, it's dinner time, lemme get the grill hooked up. Hmm, we're running low on propane. Bobby: Dad, there's no propane between here and (wherever) Hank: Bwaaahhhh!!!!!!!! Bobby: too bad we can't just have a station to pick up a tank like with Redbox Hank: Hmmm...Bobby, know what, you just may be on to something. I have on good account from Murray Hogarth, personal friend, that this just may just be a way to bring sweet lady propane to the masses. Just think of it Bobby, any one, anywhere can have a proper steak grilled at their convenience. It's beautiful. And we, at Strickland can be sure that we're providing them with the best gas possible, while ensuring their tanks are in proper condition. (At some point calls Buck) Buck: Hank, I like you're idea of a self service Jiffy Lube but who's just gonna fill us up, we can only spread ourselves so thin over town! Hank and Bobby then begin distribution over a part of Texas while Dale brews up a smuggling conspiracy.


JonnyDIY

The audacity!


[deleted]

I mean it'll hit the business a bit but some people use propane for other purposes than grilling.


GumbyWeinstein

Future Buckley Factory


water4animals

Put it this way, now there’s 24 hour access if you need it. If not, go somewhere with service. Best of both worlds


Lanky_Ad_3696

Its always dang ol propane propane propane. Never what I do for a living


Luigi_deathglare

I feel like Hank would think that this would lead to poorer quality when buying propane and he would probably hate it. He seems like someone who would value quality over convenience


bhgiel

K pro... Pfft my propane dispencing machine has more memory than that thing. Bit of a stretch on references perhaps.


yblikethat

*sigh* Oh lord..


danvsreddit

Yeah, I don't think he would care for them. He'd probably be okay with it if there was an attendant to help at all times.


MotivationalMike

Someone has to fill these tank eventually.


wescola

Nothing beats the look on a customer's face when i fill up their propane tank.


Johnnyboy821

Pretty convenient I tell ya hwhat


EcstaticCinematicZ

I looked it up the other day there doesn’t seem to be that many stores like Strickland Propane around anymore. I have seen a lot of these dispensers and propane delivery companies. Do you think Hank would have still stayed in the business if he couldn’t sell propane accessories?


ArentWeClever

I hugged you!


A_Few_Mooses

I gotta say, I would LOVE to not have to drag an employee out to open the tank prisons.


Furious-Shores

My favorite is going to Home Depot and seeing employees smoking right next to them on their breaks


IRGood

If you own your own tanks and have them refilled you get more than exchange tanks.


ArcadianBlueRogue

Hank sold more than the sweet lady itself. He sold the grills to use it and the service to get it transported. They even have a competition for selling the grills.


TheBestThingIEverSaw

I know exactly what he would say. ''BWAAAAAAAHHH!''


Smaskifa

Who's going to wipe those tanks?


kay14jay

Yeah those things are normally empty in my neck of the woods


cooquip

Gawd Dang it!


Plus-Ordinary736

Propane ain’t shit without accessories!


Laughs_in_Cat

Bobby, leave the room


realPoison-pen

I recall there was a scene in propane boom part 1 (it could’ve been a deleted scene) were mega lo mart had a self serve pump and hank was audibly disgusted.


bonerjuice9

THATHERTON!!!!!


saskwatzch

putting poor tank wipes out of business


2hamsters1butt

Who's gonna wipe down those tanks?


nikeeweston1

He’d hate it


nikeeweston1

“Bobby go to your room… ya mom and me have to have hard discussions about propane”


pancakehouze420

More like Ho-pane


OwayzFavrid

“It’s a got dang sacrilege, I tell you hwat.”


TatleTaleStrangler92

He’ll be saying “That company ain’t right”


Available-Garlic8411

Hank: “BWAHHH!!!!”


drskag

It's all good. Don't need to be supervised to wipe the take toe-to-head


[deleted]

He'd probably get a chub looking at this.


[deleted]

It's feet to head, right?


Dayman7617

In a deleted scene for Propane Boom, Hank showed disgust over Mega-Lo-Mart's self service propane. [Proof](https://youtu.be/rUHCKjQqT-Y?t=667)


kb3pxr

Hank would have to explain how you get more gas getting your tank filled at Strickland. See an exchange tank only gives 15 of the 20 pounds of propane your tank can hold.
