At least we got a shout out to Mel Blanc, he'd certainly be cancelled for all the non-White roles he did.

I'm only half through the second episode but yeah, I thought Toby Huss would be better as Dale than he is.
So far the biggest laugh I've had was the bath mat scene.

Episode 9. 
The Peggy plot was fine enough, and even cute with Bobby and Peggy. I genuinely hate that it’s part of the worst episode of the season, I would even say the series.

This was just so stupid and unnecessary. Like embarrassingly stupid and unnecessary. This must be where the Velma writers came out. Andrew Tate didn’t warrant a KOTH episode, and the only reason that trash got any relevancy to begin with is because of commentary and media like this that one-sidedly dismisses men. It’s just outdated and counterproductive.
KOTH has done gender commentary in smarter ways than this, Mike Judge really shouldn’t have let this slide.

Finished it, I'll get the things I didn't like out of the way:
-Animation as expected is not how it was during the last few seasons of the original when they switched to digital. Unfortunate, but this is what all corponiggers want out of their animation pipelines now.
-Dale's voice is pretty rough, Hussy does try to do a decent job at capturing Johnny's nasal voice, but his delivery falls pretty flat at times.
-Khan's voice is a fullon disaster, they got an asian VA and somehow he sounds more white than the white guy sounding asian.
-That "King of the Grill" joke Chane made made me physically groan over how self-centered and full-forced meta it is, probably the worst joke out of this entire revival.
Besides that, this was surprisingly pretty decent. I don't know if I'd say Peggy or Dale (maybe Dale) are all that flanderized yet. Peggy came off about as much of a cunt as she was during the later seasons, and maybe Dale could've been weird on his own without conspiratarding as much, but otherwise he's about as Dale as could be. I kinda wished they gave some side characters like Bill more spotlight, but they had 10 episodes to work with and the screentime they did give the characters were pretty good. Overall not as much of a disaster it could've been, as far as many reboots go.

On episode 9: I actually thought clowning on the manosphere and their latent homosexuality was pretty funny. Where it fell flat was the conclusion of "women sometimes aren't the problem, therefore men are always the problem". That if women don't respect men, men just haven't worked hard enough.
This would've been a far, far better message if they'd show it as something else Hank was out of touch with. Something that might have been true in his generation, but no longer is. Imagine if the episode had ended up with GH asking out his crush in a stilted, old fashioned, Hankian way and she laughs in his face and posts it to Tik Tok. (Well, maybe not exactly that because it sounds like this girl is actually his friend, but something like that.) But then Hank assures him that there's more to life than women and meeting the right person is hard, but worth it. He needs to be ready for her, so lift, work, learn, and become a functional human being.
That my shitty fanfiction anyway.

Sorry but this revival season sucks. Feels like the lower-tier episodes on the final couple seasons of the original run where the budgets were cut and none of the plots had anything interesting. A typical revival series output. I’m glad some of you liked it because I did not.

I watched the first three. I thought they were OK, but that third episode had some Sargon of Akkad reading news articles in 2017 tier takes.

It actually doesn't, the only real political thing they mention with Hank is that he didn't vote for Obama twice

There's one off-hand comment Peggy makes about Hank cleaning his glasses everytime he lies and did it when he told someone he voted for Obama, but besides that nothing about Trump no.

No, and thank God, because it’s very clear they could not handle that in any light or direction.
They only mention Obama, twice I think.

This british Youtuber that got big after all the Gamergate stuff and used to have these weekly videos where he'd read new stories about stuff like white women getting cancelled for opening tacos stands, that kind of thing. Typical anti-SJW type of thing that was popular at the time. I mentioned it specifically, because it feels like I haven't heard anyone actually talk about cultural appropriation since before the pandemic.

I.......liked it. It had jokes that made me laugh. The voices are rough, especially Dale, but that just makes me sad. I actually don't mind Chanes voice change, I kinda forget about Josephs, Ted isn't as funny anymore with his new VA, and Kahn is fucking TERRIBLE. He's written like Kahn, but that's not Kahn. Threw me off completely. The animation, it goes through phases of being passable to where you forget, then suddenly it'll look horrible and remind you what you're watching.
Problem is only time will tell how enjoyable the season really is, at least for me. Right now the fun comes from having new content to discuss.
Episode 9 should be used as an example on how NOT to write an episode of the show. Which pisses me off because the concept had the potential to be funny. It doesn't feel like KotH. The jokes aren't jokes, it's that same stupid shit "we said le current year word, laugh!" that's going to age so bad. Andrew Tate parody man is cartoonishly ridiculous, and Hank is used as the writers mouthpiece. The episode talks down to the audience, like children watching an educational cartoon episode on why not sharing your toys is bad. They act like if they don't beat it over your head that the bad guy is indeed the bad guy, you'll end up thinking he's cool. Like no, you're not going to make the next Cartman dude. Hank is way too passive, very out of character. If the whole season was written like that episode, it would be going into the same garbage dump as all the other terrible reboots. But I did like the very end, I'd like to see more of GH.
So, the leaks confirm a season 2, right? I don't remember if that was known. I kept waiting for the dog to show up. Buck being alive shocked the hell out of me. I hadn't been spoiled on that and thought he just wasn't going to be mentioned.

See I gave the manosphere grifter a pass because it was more a pastiche of Richard Cooper and that one bald guy who ended up being a cuckold who was shoving dildos up his ass - the name escapes me but he got a decent amount of coverage on Kiwifarms a few years back.
I mean what can you do there really are men's self help grifters who act like that.

The soccer episode where Dale believes that Hank is a spy because he likes soccer is a weak episode. It would make sense that Hank would like whatever local sport is around. It just makes Dale seem spontaneously crazy without any buildup. Call me crazy, but I noticed in one episode, Dale's VO switches between the late Hardwick and the new guy.
Tell them to grow a pair. Remember that episode where Bill takes supplements with some gym bros which almost costed him his life?

I understand the main point of this season is to reintroduce the audience to Hank and Bobby but it still sucks to see the auxiliary cast shafted. Bill and Boomhaur episodes were kino back in the day.

One of my favorite Boomhauer moments from KoTH has to be that episode where Boomhauer blabs to the park ranger about Hank and the boys harming an endangered animal.
Boomhauer is a Texas Ranger so he's obliged to report when asked by law enforcement. Hank's reaction followed by Boomhauer's incomprehensible speech never fails to make me laugh.

I also like this one.
Coach Saur "Boomhauer! How are the folks?"
Boomhauer "Doing just fine, moved on down to Florida, dang ol lottery winners man."
Coach Saur "I'm sorry to hear that."
