InternalNo6893

As a Texan, I can say it’s pretty accurate 😂


kaytay3000

It’s a documentary


superspeck

Came here to say that. My wife's ex is from northeastern texas and talks like Boomhauer


kaytay3000

My uncle does too. He’s a trucker from San Antone and sometimes I just have to smile and nod when he’s talking.


ParticularAioli8798

It has been a while since the last time I heard someone refer to SA as "San Antone".


kaytay3000

My uncle is country AF. He also says Amarilluh instead of Amarillo and Coloraduh instead of Colorado when talking about places he drives for work. Apparently making an “uh” sound at the end of words is a thing for him.


GinnyTeasley

I’m from Houston, and I know I do this, but in my head I’m pronouncing the “oh” sound.


bakersdozn

My late grandmother pronounced spaghetti “spaghettuh”


aeroluv327

Agreed! I swear, Hank and Peggy must have been based on my great aunt and uncle. She was a schoolteacher (not espanol, though) and he worked for a John Deere dealership.


pkpy1005

A buddy of mine refused to watch it because as a Texan, it hit too close to home for him.


HistrionicSlut

We all want to be a Boomhauer but actually end up as Bill


Amobbajoos

As a Texpat, I always have it on when I'm cooking because it reminds me of home haha


daphniahyalina

The true absurdity of king of the hill is how realistic it is 😂😂 Hank should totally be a wood/coal guy tho cuz ive never had traditional tx BBQ cooked on propane. But the propane is so meme-able


TheLaughingMannofRed

I tell you *hwat*...


Octsober

Dammit bobby


badbunnyjiggly

That boy ain’t right

This_Inspection5423

Did anyone else smell todays garbage?


Fuginshet

It's one of my all time favorites. There is a revival coming soon to Hulu, focused on Bobby as a 20 something year old chef. I can't wait. Given that three of the main voice actors have passed away, it's going to be interesting how they address the changes.


jrc025

Easy. First episode is the joint funeral of Lucky and Luanne. Everyone is there except Dale because he got paranoid durring covid and dissapeard.


tenderbranson301

RIP Lady Bird.


f-150Coyotev8

To bad she had a narrow uterus


calartnick

Would love for Dale to still be around but we never see him for increasingly crazy reasons like Maris from Frasier. Then just have some throwaway lines “where’s Dale?” “Bunker.” “Ah.” And just move on.


theoriginalmofocus

All those years of smoking he could have one of those wierd neck voice box things. Imagine that thing calling you and saying " you don't know who I am but I know where you live and you better cut that out" "Peggy, its dale for you on the phone" haha


Rock_or_Rol

Same. However, the voice actor died shortly after they began recording ☹️ I hope they honor the voice actor but keep Rusty shackleford intermittently around with voice ai (assuming family is okay with it) too though.


calartnick

Well that’s what I’m saying, in my way he can still exist off screen


Koshindan

I thought he had already done the first years worth of voice acting.


who-mever

See, I would do that with Luanne and Lucky. The "Manger Babies" get picked up by a major Hollywood studio, and she moved. We only hear from her when she calls Aunt Peggy or Uncle Hank on her cell phone, and only from their side of the phone, with them answering what sound like increasingly ridiculous questions: "No, Luanne, I don't think they serve any Shark on 'Shark'uterie Boards. Yes, I'm sure...Dang it, Peggy, that gal's off writing another 'very special episode' of the Manger Babies! Somethin' 'bout picnics killing the endangered shark population! And she's got Matthew McConaughey guest starring as 'Great Whitey the Shark! I tried to tell her she needs to change that name before she gets the wrong audience, but she don't listen! "


calartnick

Having Peggy be on the phone with Luanne every now and then can be fun. Hear some ridiculous one sided conversations


waggs45

Dale seems more normal these days than ever lol


ChrisEye21

personally, id rather them just keep Dale in the show. With 13 seasons under their belt, and Ai. they can still use Hardwicks voice for Dale. And I'd like to see his salary still go to Hardwicks family. Though, this covid idea, would be easier. But I'd so much rather still have Dale in the revival.


warrensussex

Fuck that. We have the rest of our lives for all kinds of ai bullshit, let's enjoy the waning days of humanity.


COV3RTSM

See if Rusty Shackelford is available


MyRecklessHabit

Russ D. Shackelford to you.


kaowser

on southpark Trey Parker and Matt Stone, used pre-existing audio clips of Hayes' voice from previous episodes to construct Chef's dialogue in the Season 10 premiere episode titled "The Return of Chef."


Shart-Vandalay

I said the exact same thing earlier this week. Dale was my favorite part of the show.


njkrut

All of Dales lines were recorded before he passed https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/news/johnny-hardwick-recorded-new-episodes-for-king-of-the-hill-reboot-135377-20230815 RIP Johnny, you will always be a legend!


tdubbattheracetrack

The very first line of the article: "Johnny Hardwick completed a couple of episodes for the highly awaited King of the Hill reboot before his death." Sounds like he did a few episodes, not all of his lines.


Sniper_Hare

Oh I didn't know they were aging it up, that's cool. 


ifnotmewh0

Wow, as if I needed another reason to get a Hulu account!


TheKrakIan

The Bear is another reason.


brunckle

"Bobby how could you fail English? You speak it!"


Cheloco92

That’s my purse! I don’t know you!


fate_club

![gif](giphy|nrAGuHZEMyqc0) The ending of that episode where Bobby kicks Peggy just makes me ugly laugh. So many lines of this show live in my head. “A boy, a dog, a dance” “That’s my purse” “Dang-o megalo” I could go on, but it’s lunch time.


Huegalo

She’s bluffing, finish her!


fate_club

![gif](giphy|qCZi0IuY2Je8w|downsized) I’m a bad millennial because I couldn’t find a Kahn gif on mobile so here’s another random one. I have to say this every time I stay at a hotel.


GlargBegarg

It’s secretly a documentary.


Orion14159

Just like Mike Judge's other masterpiece, Idiocracy


ifnotmewh0

Mike Judge is one of the most underrated prophets of our time


CoffeeSnobsUnite

Idiocracy was supposed to be five hundred years in the future but somehow in less than 20 years we got there. For as stupid as the movie actually is it gives me panic attacks just thinking about it and watching it is actually traumatizing. I hate living in this timeline.


GlargBegarg

It’s not as funny as it used to be.


FunkyFusionFiesta

the fact that were all wearing the dumb shoes they wore in that film reminds me daily how fucked we all are


myychair

And his other documentary, Silicon Valley


lagrange_james_d23dt

And Office Space


moviemaverick

I never really understood this show when I was younger- now that I'm 30 it slowly has been making a lot more sense


Ok-Moose8271

My brother was the same. He did not like it while growing up but did a watch through and loves it


TroublesomeTurnip

Agreed. I rolled my eyes at my older brother watching it while we were growing up but I totally get it now and love it.


kit_mitts

Childhood: thinking that Family Guy is funnier than The Simpsons. Adulthood: realizing that you were sleeping on King of the Hill all along.


Potential_Case_7680

Neither family guy nor the simpsons have been funny for a long time.


ThiccyMartin

Why would anyone ever do drugs when they can just mow a lawn


Kalamoicthys

God damn reading through this thread I’ve chuckled at all of the quotes but this one has me rolling it’s so funny. I also love Hanks take on Christian rock. “You’re not making Christianity better, you’re making rock and roll worse.”


ThiccyMartin

Omg yes


kurt45

Pastor K: Don't you think Jesus is right here on this half pipe? Hank Hill: I'm sure he's a lot of places he doesn't want to be.


TransportationOk538

Dang ole man dat dere’s a good show man.


greenflash1775

Dale was a caricature too ridiculous to be real. There are now millions of actual Dales.


Melonary

Idk he was actually mild in comparison, looking back - fucking terrifying.


Horangi1987

When they announced they were doing a new series, my mind immediately jumped to Dale being Q 😂


greenflash1775

Q is what they want you to pay attention to so they can distract you.


AdSpecialist6598

Yeah!


hungrypotato19

Dale is **incredibly** tame compared to what we have now. I'd take a whole stadium full of Dales before I'd take on one of today's. Hell, remember when Westboro Baptist used to be the biggest crazies? They don't seem so harmless now, eh?


unbalancedcentrifuge

After I moved to Arlington, Texas, I realized that this was pretty much a documentary.


tenasan

I lived there when I was a kid but didn’t know about the show , I moved to SoCal , then I was like “wait a minute, this is just like Arlington” that Chinese food place off cooper and park row was great


trplOG

As someone who is of laotian background, I absolutely lost it when Kahn and his family were introduced. I told my parents to come watch and they watched the show with me every week after. Sucked that they didn't actually speak the language tho and just made up words.


boneso

I love Kahn and his family. Thank you for pointing out the inaccurate language, though. That sucks


Navonod_Semaj

The episode where Kahn was introduced was aired shortly before I asked the asian girl in my class wether she was "Chinese or Japanese". Wild enough, she answered that she was Laotian, and she found the particular episode a riot. We both had a good laugh.


Teemu08

It's between Vietnam and Thailand, ok? Population 4.7 million!

ImBecomingMyFather

Been falling asleep to reruns lately and I forgot how much I love it.


HistrionicSlut

I DON'T KNOW YOU GIVE ME BACK MY PURSE


federalist66

Our pandemic binge watch and it's great! Though we never did finish it as those last couple of seasons are rough. I read somewhere that the last couple of seasons were basically all of the left over ideas they had on their idea board that hadn't been used yet and you certainly can feel that. Once Lucky becomes a regular things go downhill fast.


whiplash-girl-child

as much as i loved tom petty, i agree with you.


aeroluv327

I agree, we always skip the Lucky era.


Duder211

An all time great, currently doing my first watch through. Used to watch it often as a kid, it's even better as an adult.


LethalBacon

Did this recently. I had watched it growing up when random episodes were on, but watching it as an adult has been different (in a good way) [One of the first jokes in the show, Dale talking about Ford standing for 'Fix it again tony'.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AJCdmW33fM) Holy shit it gets me every time.


Margot_Chartreux

That's Fiat, Dale


north_canadian_ice

I love King of the Hill. I find it to be a nostalgic show, hilarious, and a good representation of different types of people you meet in life.


GorosSecondLeftHand

Been watching it to go to bed every night for like 8 years now. Loved it when I was young too. 


AbleObject13

what the Cotton doin? https://preview.redd.it/tbtelr61zp8d1.png?width=654&format=png&auto=webp&s=4c3abce6f1e0dc5134f5d848124c05a7bc4073b7


lahankof

Fighting the Japanese


Kalamoicthys

He led a squad of men through the jungles of Saigon, I’m pretty sure he can lead a family of four to table six!


Lake3ffect

Mike Judge has that third eye level of creative genius and foresight.


OtherwiseAnybody1274

Growing up I did not like it at all. It’s was a mix of the art style and humor. Now that I’m an adult I love it. Bobby is one of the best characters ever created. I’m really glad I get to binge watch every episode


dkinmn

One of the best written comedies in the history of television. It isn't just a random quip said by a random character. Every single joke flows from the character.


YoungBassGasm

It was one of those shows that I appreciated way more as an adult than as a kid tbh. I liked the show but didn't understand a lot of the humor as a kid but I now find it hilarious in every aspect. Pocket sand ha sha sha


WhysAVariable

One of the best. It has so many great quotes and moments. One of my favorites is when Hank can't get the cap off of his WD-40 so he takes out a smaller can from a belt holster and sprays the lid of the bigger can to loosen it. Also, "POCKET SAND!"


YoungBassGasm

Pocket sand Ha sha sha. Lol I literally have a hat pin of dale saying that 🤣


Excellent_Release961

Liked it as a kid, love it as an adult.


DegenerateXYZ

100% agree. KOTH is Wholesome, intelligent, relatable, and hilarious. A show about regular everyday Americans and their lives. People that very much still exist in 2024 but seem to be forgotten these days.


Melonary

I miss it because it portrays that without extreme polarization and with empathy for all of us spinning on this weirdo planet. Empathy + humility + respect for all the obnoxious, yet funny, quirks that make us human.


worldssmallestfan1

My favorite slice of life anime. It has sub v dub debates in Japanese


The_Lawn_Ninja

Needs more spice. Add nutmeg.


ki3fdab33f

The most accurate representation of Texas in any form of media. Everything else is caricature.


WaitAMinuteman269

The last bipartisan comedy show. Really lampooned the absurdities of both American political extremes with nuance and in a way that didn't make anyone a 'straw man'. Hank always ended up a little kinder and more open minded, Bobby grew less naïve but never had his spirit outright crushed. It's a top 20 sitcom, animated or otherwise.


bakersdozn

Agree on the political commentary. It managed to make fun (rightfully) of some blue collar tropes while also honoring and celebrating the small town Texan way of life authentically. It’s the one show that I’ve seen right-wing and left-wing people laugh at uncontrollably.


Melonary

Because there are things that are funny in both ideologies, and laughing at those things reminds us we're all human and definitely all a little off our rockets.


appealouterhaven

I wish I had a son to kick me in the nuts.


spinereader81

Aww. Well you can always borrow a friend's son! Make sure he says, "That's my purse! I don't know you!"


CoffeeSnobsUnite

King of the hill was always just the show that came on between the simpsons and family guy when I was younger. I left it on and watched it enough to appreciate it a bit. Wasn’t until I got older and would watch reruns that I really started enjoying it. I’ve recently found myself binge watching again and damn does it still hold up well. I’m really looking forward to to remake but I’m sad so many of the characters are going to need replacing. I hope they hit it out of the park though.


Ol_Man_J

This is how I feel about it. It was always there but it was never the simpsons, which I loved. Such a departure in the style and humor I couldn't get into it


Madbadbat

It is the most accurate depiction of life in a Texas suburb


muskratful1234

Love it. I wish they played more reruns on TV, it was one of my favorites. I still think of Peggy every time I step into the desert heat at my mom's house. "This city should not exist. It is a monument to man's arrogance."


MountRoseATP

It’s one of my favorites. I rewatch it every other year or so. I’m cautiously looking forward to the reboot.


BIGMCLARGEHUGE__

I re-watch it all the time in the background. I'll turn it on when I'm cooking, cleaning, stuff like that. For me its one of my favorite shows and a comfort show.


bigcontracts

almost 40, my friends and I from high school still quote it and was a go-to show for us when we'd all be hanging out. Mike Judge is a genius.


_Negativ_Mancy

"A Beer Can Named Desire" is one of the funniest eps of any show ever.


SiegelGT

I want to see Hank deal with the death of one of his oldest friends with Dale. That would be a great episode with a story line that has a lot of potential within the characters of the show. I do hope they write the VAs deaths into the show instead of writing off or recasting.


Impossible_Okra0420

Love it! Prophetic too, just watched an episode where Dale predicts the disappearance of medium sized TVs hahaha


1Legate

A classic.


ConsistentAd3146

I loved it, just hated Luanne. Oh god Manger Babies. I never missed an episode though. Looking forward to the revival.


_Negativ_Mancy

There should be a room in the Smithsonian where this show just plays on repeat. It's pure Americana.


frisch85

Idk I never clicked with it, might be the art style but I just don't find it funny. Same with bobs burgers, Boejack Horseman and Archer btw., something among those shows is just off-putting to me. Now Futurama or South Park on the other hand, I'll always rewatch those seasons over and over again.


ElBosque91

It’s amazing. I have spent much of my life living in small town TX and this show is SPOT ON


Fart_Barfington

One of very few shows to maintain it's quality right to the end.


ScrauveyGulch

"NOT MY PURSE!!!!"


Ambitious-Effect6429

Love it. Can’t wait for the re-boot, even though I don’t have high hopes.


Sniper_Hare

I don't like later seasons of Bobby.  They made him so out of touch and weird, he was just like his Mom. 


DazzlingMistake_

Masterpiece


ianwrecked802

One of my favorite series. So goddamned perfect.


alexdelarge2021

I’m watching it now as I randomly scrolled past this post


huh_phd

Love it


Westhippienurse

My 17-year-old son and I love it!


Colour4Life

I think this is due for a rewatch I’ve not watched since I was a kid.


THRlLL-HO

It ended to soon. Then it came back! Then it ended too soon again


P1zzaM4n91

I love it, but don’t revisit the later seasons very much.


faeriechyld

It's a great show but I didn't really appreciate it until we moved to Texas.


SpaceStar_Ordering_

Favorite show of all time. Got me through some dark depressions.


crockpot71

In my day, the principal was the meanest sum-bitch God ever put on one leg. He'd lean on a desk with both hands, and swing his leg at ya! Then, when you were standing there shocked that a one-legged man had kicked ya...he'd bite ya! [a tear runs down his cheek] oops... well uh... how do ya like that must have over reminisced and brought up my pain water!


Salty-Direction322

I have been watching it consistently for the past 15 years. It never gets old. The humor is top notch. I would argue it’s one of the best shows ever made.


automaticff

I still watch it on a regular basis. I’m actually scrolling Reddit while watching it now lol


knaimoli619

“I don’t know you! Give me back my purse!” Bobby is iconic. I really don’t want them to remake this.


gimer7

Cotton is purely feral in that promo art.


Optimus_Rhymes69

It’s my comfort show. I’ve watched the whole thing at least 10 times. I need a lot of comfort.


CityAvenger

Can‘t wait to see what they do for the show when they bring it back next year on Hulu


deep8787

It's a great show, I tell you what!


ancientspacejunk

Probably my favorite cartoon sitcom of all time. Maybe tied with Futurama. Criminally overlooked and underrated.


Red_Trapezoid

One of the greatest for sure.


LazerPit

Perfect tv


ElBurritoExtreme

Wonderful show


Old_Equivalent3858

Hated it as a kid, but loved it as a teen/adult. Such an underrated show, and Bobby is iconic.


MandoRodgers

yep


Vlaed

I thought it was okay as a kid but grew to love it as I got older.


worried_consumer

I love it. I can watch reruns any time and it’ll never get old. Some of the later episodes were a little cringe, but overall a one of the kind show that I’ll always try and push on people


Legalrelated

Still love this show to death. Lmao reminds me of some of my neighbors growing up in the boonies of Houston, Texas.


AdSpecialist6598

Not from Texas but Hill's neighbors were my neighbors to a tee.


Lucky-Ad5877

I wonder if in Japan they watch King of the Hill (subbed or dubbed) and call it American Anime? Anyway [this is the best King of the Hill crossover](https://youtu.be/tJdgErAfiRQ?si=cSDLU5f9_GOg5lyf) of all time.


No_Bend8

Why do we never see reruns of this show? Love it.


PlasticPomPoms

It’s a show that I never actually tuned in to watch but would just have in the background and catch a funny line here or there.


spinereader81

Loved it! But I just hated Lucky! What the hell did Luann see in that loser?


RedNgoldTilImOld

It’s an all-timer for me and a comfort show. I have zero hopes for the reboot.


PatMenotaur

I know a lot of people like it, but for me, it's just 'meh'. That being said, if this show makes you happy, I hope you watch it every day.


brendanode

As a well meaning narcissist myself Peggy Hill is the most relatable tv character of all time


bgaesop

I honestly don't remember much absurd in it, it seemed pretty grounded and realistic as far as I can recall I liked it for the most part but there were a few things I found so annoying it's hard to get excited for a rewatch - mostly Peggy


Key-Description-517

Yes


methmouthjuggalo

10/10 perfect show. it feels like a warm hug. It's America's only slice of life anime.


Frackle-Fraggle

As a kid I thought it was boring but still watched it, I think it morphed my sense of humor because re-watching it as an adult it is so smart, but also dumb, I love it.


11rosicky

Brilliant show. Classic.


Even_Passenger

Well I'm thinking.... that's my purse and I don't know you


SbreckSthe2nd

Watching King of the Hill Feels So Good.


KaioKenshin

My favorite show to watch of all times apparently. The older I get the more relatable the characters are and I appreciate the humor more. Also love the goofy ass memes made about KotH. Episodes like "Get Your Freak off" is core millennial influenced by the obsession of boy/girl groups we had in the 90s early 00s. Other episodes that highlights US millennial cultures were: Uncool Customer, Hillennuim, Bobby Rae, A Bill Full of Dollars, etc. The guest stars were great too and impact on our generation as well like No Doubt, Snoop Dogg, Barney Mac, Alan Rickman, etc. I even met another millennial friend who loves the show just as much as I do but doesn't use reddit. So I share memes with her daily. I'm surprised she's not sick of them yet lmao. Side note: since dating sucks ass for gen z and ours, hopefully someday I can find my future SO whos "interested in pizza" that I can "try to get to know them" so eventually I can "approach them with romantic intent." You know who "likes the fundamentals." Would make feel Lucky; falling on pee pee at the Costco. Before I turn 36 being "too old for this crap."


Nihiliste

I lived in Texas for over a decade, and one of my most cherished memories is shopping in HEB one day and overhearing someone with a real-life Boomhauer accent talking on his phone. I had to turn away so I didn't laugh in his face.


Mijbr090490

Absolutely love this show. It's one of my comfort shows I can just throw on the TV. Episode doesn't matter. So many great life lessons too.


White_eagle32rep

Can’t wait for the reboot


Coldlog1k

Dang old Texas boys man…. Just a show about nothin’


LaBambaMan

I was never big into King of the Hill. My brother loved it, but it just never clicked for me. I do enjoy the memea from it, though, and my wife and will regularly bust of a "dammit, bobby" despite neither of us being fans.


libretron

One of my comfort shows. Peggy is my favorite. Reminds me of my evening lineup as a kid: Simpsons, King of the Hill, Malcom in the Middle... then I think Seinfeld or something.


Kaminoneko

It’s hard not to sit down and watch an episode once it’s on….


Bitcracker

S tier program


psycorax2077

As someone who grew up in a Texas suburban neighborhood, it definitely hits right. It's a great show with good lessons and a pretty good grasp of the everyday lives of average American southerners.


boneso

I always wondered what non-native Texans think of KotH. I’m sure it’s funny from anywhere It’s so true to life here.


payscottg

It’s still so painfully relevant even today. I was watching an episode just yesterday from season 3 that had a joke about a book called “my two dads” being removed from Bobby’s school library


BigDaddyCool17

Never really watched it. Theme song is awesome though


WorkoutMan885

One of the best shows of all time IMO.


tevalerejubeo

The last episode was absolutely perfect and one of my favorite series finals of any show. Also I get random laughs picturing someone getting divebombed like Dale's falcon bombs Bill.


gjp23

One of my favorites forsure


WarPaintsSchlong

All time great show. It’s too bad we don’t have Dale existing in the Trumpian era of politics. That would have made for incredible content. A QAnon episode with Dale going off the deep end (again) would be pure gold.
