King Of The Hill Appreciation Thread

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Do you miss the show?

Do you wish for a Reboot?

Is it possible to even have a show like this, in today's world?

Did you see the Goode Family? the bizzaro Hill family.


Damnit Bobby, share those memes and quotes!

There are other threads to engage in..

But I'll bite, why not?

Painful to look at and not a fan of sitcoms.

There ya have it.

I read it was a conservative-leaning show, so I purchased the first six seasons. Starting with the 7th the DVDs are damn expensive, so I stopped there.

I loved the show, although during the last seasons they started to introduce some un-conservative elements that I did not approve of. Overall, though, it's good. Heck, I was just thinking of re-running it again.

Nah, not painful at all, c'mon, Cap'n, snap out of it! ?

I'm not a fan of sitcoms either: I actually despise them, but I love cartoons. Good cartoons, of course—I hate the Simpsons with a passion.

It isn't liberal or conservative.. it just represents small towns in America.. and probably Canada.

I haven't watched them all, but the episode that immediately came to mind was the one where Bobby falls in love with the mannequin head.

Has Mike Judge ever made anything bad? "Idiocracy" and "Office Space" are two of my favorite comedies.

 

[Chasing Embers]

There ya have it.

It's not just that one. It and other "grandchildren" of Liquid Television were just very grating to me. Love Mike Judge's humor though.

Holy shit, that looks just like my son going to school with his neck gaiter on! ?

I do miss the show, I thought it was brilliant. Especially the whole “fathers trying to relate to their sons“ dynamic. Some days I feel like I am Hank Hill. Other than the narrow urethra, of course! ?

 

[Chasing Embers]

but I love cartoons

I do too, but more of a Ralph Baksi/Frank Frazetta and Don Bluth fan. I like some sci-fi anime like Ergo Proxy and Cowboy Bebop as well.

Idiocracy

Idiocracy is prophetic genius.

That's not what Ben Shapiro said in his book Primetime Propaganda, where I saw it recommended. I reckon you don't want this thread to turn "political", and I don't either, but it is undeniable that the show does lean in a certain direction: it's hardly 'centered'. The ridicule and comical critique it pointed at many cultural aspects enshrined by the Links is one reason I love it.

See?

The comedy makes fun of Hank's conservative tendencies. If you watch you'll see they make fun of every side.

Never a regular but was intrigued when I caught an episode from time to time. I didn't recognize the name of the show, just the art. It seemed droll and non-partisan to me, which was part of its fascination, but maybe that's me.
