After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia

That's fucking weird.

>Electrical pole removed
Is that something thats happening?

Sure. If they replace the lines with buried lines.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

Sure. If they replace the lines with buried lines.

it's a good thing to do in areas with hurricanes and tornadoes

>Boomhauer with a woman and kid
Single mom? I saw someone say Kathleen but it doesn't look like her, kid doesn't look like Boomhauer either.

Hank going to Saudi Arabia is weird... a while ago there was a list of VAs and characters and one character was named Mohammed. I disregarded it because I couldn't find a trustworthy source... guess it was real. Wonder if Buck died. No Gracie in the opening. I expected the animation to be way different, Peggy looks kinda rough though.

Bill getting covid is the most believable part of this whole scenario. Hank and peggy going to saudi arabia? Yeah thats the most absurd. I can't imagine any scenario in which that ends well for anybody involved. Peggy is too ignorant, self righteous and too stubborn for that to end well for anybody involved. She wouldn't last a week without getting pissed off by their restrictions on women and doing something blatantly stupid that would get her and hank into serious trouble. Can't say i'm surprised about nancy and john redcorn though, whores never change, particularly when they start getting older and start losing their looks. Shes exactly the type that would go running back to him

Sure. If they replace the lines with buried lines

Yeah exactly, though i'm not sure why they would do it in arlen. You'd think they would do it in areas that actually needed it first. Maybe it'll help with minimizing tornado infrastructure damage or something. Either that or they went the canadian route and are doing it nonsensically - spending hundreds of millions to replace poles with buried lines in places like alberta, in areas that have absolutely no need for it and then veto the idea entirely in places like nova scotia, that actually do have a need for it and seasonal blackouts for days at a time cause of wind due to the fact the government refuses to change out the lines or remove the trees that inevitably end up being blown over on them and only vaguely trim them and plant more in the stupidest way possible. Literally - big 50 foot cleared spaces from the main treeline to the poles and then a long string of trees feet from the wires themselves. Its bizarre

After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg

So does this mean Strickland’s went under, or maybe the money wasn’t as good as it once was, so the original savings plan wouldn’t cut it?

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Using the intro sequence to hint at/show everything that’s happened between the series finale and the new season is pretty interesting. You could have almost made a show off of all that stuff.

 

[WonderWino]

Also given that the guy living in their house is named muhammad I wonder if that means he was from saudi arabia there was some kind of house swapping going on while they were out of the country. Would explain alot

 

[Oulun]

Yeah exactly, though i'm not sure why they would do it in arlen

It's probably to hint at some kind of sub/urbanization, with the reboot maybe having an overarching theme of Arlen not being the small town it was in the 90s of original KotH. Part of Hank being a stranger in a strange land after he finally comes home.

 

[Jar-Jar Fanboy]

My guess is that Strickland loses Hank in a bet with a Saudi prince, and Hank is too loyal to Buck to refuse, so he goes to work for the Prince's oil company. I can't see Hank deciding to move there without some external pressure, regardless of how good the money might be

 

[Mark Goldbridge]

I would love for this style of show in terms of animation and humor to make a comeback but as a new idea not the same rehashed shit.

 

[Chef Red Pill]

Can't wait.

 

[PixarsTedKennedy]

The Saudi Arabia angle is a hard no for me. That's nothing Hank would ever do.

 

[break these cuffs]

Set to release August 4th.

“After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane.”

Why would anyone revive King of the Hill when they could just mow a lawn?

It's going to be absolute shit. For the record: I hate, I fucking HATE people digging up and defiling things that defined a decade. Just to pump the show full of shit it doesn't need to fill up their pockets. B&H was bad, but I can't imagine how this is going to be.

 

[Chin of Campbell]

I dunno, man. I've been optimistic about it but now that we're here I just don't know.

Redcorn better have actually switched teams. Having Nancy go back to him after everything is fucking beyond retarded.



This hit hard, though. I really hope Cotton gets the respect he deserves.

Bobby is probably my most anticipated part of this whole thing. I want to know what kind of man he grew up into.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

i mean mike judge is behind it so it probably wont be complete ass or anything. new beavis and butthead was alright and i wasnt particularly a person who grew up watching that show on mtv or anything like that because i simply did not exist when that was happening

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

Hank going to work for towel heads? I don't think so. They really couldn't come up with anything better than that?

 

[God's strongest milkman]

I was a huge fan of the show and I watched practically every episode with my family, especially my dad. I own several of the first seasons on box set.

From what I've seen of promotional material there's a couple of things I'm worried about.

Bill should be dead. There's like half a dozen episodes about how he's an inch away from killing himself and how hopeless his life is. He shouldn't have survived another decade.

I'm worried about all the new voice actors.

The original show was basically the only show where a comically boring and uptight conservative dad was the hero and he was (usually) in the right. Whenever KotH talked about social issues it was usually non obnoxious and funny and level headed. You could always guess what hank would think of something because he was a stereotype but one built out of love. I'm worried that the show is going to try and do that with modern issues And it's going to land just terribly.

The stereotype hank hill filled is basically dead at this point. The staunch socially conservative reaganite bush supporter who believed in the american dream and the Texan spirit. As a Texan he's very very relatable and likeable because he's almost an idealized version of my dad who's a lot like this.

It's going to be almost weird for the show to continue with the same dichotomy of old man hank finding a newfangled thing he doesn't like and then bitching about it. I kinda want that to be bobbies job now. Bobby grew up in the 90's and the early 2000's my boy survived y2k and had his toilet paper stash rained on. He should be the one losing his place in changing times and his dad sort of helping him deal with that, almost like a reverse to their relationship from the old show.

Nancy and redcorn was a borderline gross part of the original show, like it felt like someone's weird cuckold fetish shoved in and made a continuous plot point and I really wish she had fucking died or something. I am very sad to see hints that they've went back to all that.

I hope they never even mention trump. There's just no way they can talk about him in a way that isn't fucking stupid.

I hope they don't mention tranny's for the same reason.

The more I think about it the more hank hill in 2025 feels like transporting someone from a different time period into modern times. Like he feels out of place even existing right now, I kinda wish he was left in the past.

I will say, extremely appropriate for Bobby to be a chef, he was the creative weird kid and food is something he can actually connect with his dad through and there were many episodes where he was very involved in cooking and it made him happy and let him express himself while forming a bond with someone.

I wanted ladybird dying to be an episode. I'm sad that never happened and I really wish they had done it, I'm sure they'll just have hank say something like "I haven't been this down since ladybird died"

Luanne and lucky should be left gone and they should have a kid that someone has to take care of. Hank and Peggy or Bobby. Like a replacement Luanne but younger, a new character. Maybe make her a better kid than Luanne was showing that Hank and Peggys influence made her a better mom than her own but didn't fully allow her to escape the pull of her parents influence.

Bill should kill himself.

If they make Bobby an anime fan I'm going to suicide bomb their studio.

I'm afraid that Connie is going to be Lisa Simpson but brown and she's going to go the full college POC girl route and be fucking unbearable. If she ever talks about Kamala harris I'm going to suicide bomb their studio.

Joseph is going to get into alpha male YouTube videos and try and drag Bobby into it who's going to finger wag him with Connie after giving in at first. I can see this as clearly as I see my keyboard.

Someone's going to call Peggy a Karen and that's going to be a whole episode.

At some point Bobby Hill is going to look the camera dead center and say "hawk Tuah" or "skibidy toilet" and I'm going to kill myself right then and there.

One of them is going to try and be a driver for one of those food or passenger apps, it could honestly be anyone, but it's going to be someone.

Peggy Hill is going to try and be a Vtuber. I will not elaborate.

I will be perfectly honest, I don't even know if I want it to be as good as it can be or as bad as possible, I don't know which would be more entertaining.

Also Hank moving to the middle east? What? That's already a weird choice.

 

[BigBadBastich]

Hank going to work for towel heads? I don't think so. They really couldn't come up with anything better than that?

Shitskin towelheads who commit human rights violations on an hourly basis, a place that Peggy Hill a self-admitted feminist would not last 2 days in. It would be like Archie Bunker moving to Somalia for cultural enrichment.

 

[TV's Adam West]

Nancy and redcorn was a borderline gross part of the original show, like it felt like someone's weird cuckold fetish shoved in and made a continuous plot point and I really wish she had fucking died or something. I am very sad to see hints that they've went back to all that.

The joke that Dale, the man who has a conspiracy for everything, is so oblivious to the most blatant conspiracy that's right in front of him.

 

[Cucktry Roads]

For anyone who doesn't know. They released info a while back stating that Bobby runs a Japanese restaurant where they use charcoal to grill this, and was struggling with a relationship with a city girl.
