King of the hill appreciation thread - Yup.

The prophecy is fulfilled

 

[Dr. Butt]

Repeating what all fans have already been saying, but this 2025 revival is cursed. I’m willing to bet money more OG cast members will die by the time it comes out.

When Mike Judge misses, he misses bad. Remember Extract? I will wait until I can actually watch it to pass judgement, but he's an auteur like Peter Chung or Prince so remember that with those guys, their one or two fuckups end up being as horribly bad as all their good stuff combined is good.

Remember The Goode Family?
It was King of the Hill with a liberal family, but it forgot to make the main characters likable.

"GET OFF MY WIFE JOHN DEADCORN!!!"

 

[Basic Blond Boy]

God, what are these stills Mike:

Also, apparently Jonathan Joss was supposed to play a concert. Everyone is still unsure if he did, but it may be the last time he made a public appearance, giving him a better out than the meltdown:

 

[Vibralldo]

that the specific part you have problem with was there at the end of the original series

It looks better in the old intro

More movement in the arms aside from just moving it up and down like it's a paper doll

 

[The Last Stand]

It all culminates with everyone fighting and Hank making a speech that makes everyone realize how silly they're all acting, everyone calms down, Hank walks into the voting booth and its not revealed who he voted for.

Somebody here earlier imagined that Hank would be reluctant to vote for Trump because Trump primarily does business in NYC. Maybe he would see a little bit of Buck Strickland in Trump that would influence his decision. Remember that episode where Hank had an issue with the sex on his driver's license? He vehemently has faith in the American system, but his pushback wouldn't be enough until push WOULD come to shove, i.e. Dale Gribble stepping in to give the counter person what for.

I'd say Hank would vote for Trump, but would still have reservations on it.

Like I said in another thread, Toby Huss was caught with CP in the 90's allegedly.

 

[Tepes Thot]

That’s horrible about John Redcorn’s va. Don’t know the specifics of why the neighbor shot him, especially with the other factors going on, but it’s horrible regardless.

And I hope the show avoids delving that deeply into contemporary politics. I don’t want a sanitized, scared offering, but I don’t want it modern Disney-fied either.

Like the drag queen ep was brought up, and I believe Hank and Peggy would mind their business on some weird guy dressing like a woman on stage (even though Hank didn’t know he was a drag queen). However, I don’t believe Hank would be ok with drugging and mutilating kids, or that Peggy, of all people, would be ok with women being run over in sports for mentally ill men. But, there’s no way for them to show them disagreeing without massive backlash either. It’d just be too messy, and would probably not be entertaining, so I’d rather they focus on more benign changes/annoyances imo.

 

[Irrational Exuberance]

Mike Judge agreed to sacrifice the cast members to ensure his legacy will be improved upon. After the final episode airs Mike Judge himself will be dragged into a sink hole screaming:

Nah, he'll just be going down to change out the propane canisters.

 

[verymuchawful]

Both Dale and John are dead. What the fuck. Suffer, Nancy. I guess.

 

[Brenda Holiday]

I'd say Hank would vote for Trump, but would still have reservations on it.

Yeah, I think so too. But in the context of a hypothetical episode, leaving it ambiguous would be the best, kinda like the Bush episode. I came up with all that back in 2016, where if a tv show were to do an election episode, the message being "friends and family means more than silly political disagreements" would have been a really refreshing thing to hear.

That pussy is cursed clearly, damn.

We can do a whole money medley!

 

[The Last Stand]

Both times Beavis & Butt-head were brought back (2011 and 2022) the show was great, so I'm willing to give this a chance. Hopefully they don't fuck it up.

I never liked the reboots of Beavis and Butthead as I did the original run. The animation was too "clean" for me. It's obvious that a show like that is a product of its time. That isn't to say I outright hated the reboots; the humor in context of today doesn't gel as well as it did then.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Hank would vote Trump. Specially when the options were Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Maybe not in the primaries, but he wouldn't even doubt it for the general election.

What if it's a meta commentary from Judge about the social dynamic of liberal families?

It probably was but the show wasn't funny enough to justify the characters being awful people like Beavis and Butthead

I had no idea Jonathan Joss was gay, and his "husband" might be a pooner. Some people are already using his death for pride month because murdered for being gay. There has to be more to this story....
