Been extremely bored and so I found myself just watching random KOTH episodes and soon decided it'd be easier to finally buy it on DVD. Funny enough, around the same time this topic started. Didn't see it until now though.

No regrets, and it's fun seeing it with a bit of continuity. Of course it sucks that the cheapest you can buy it are in all-or-nothing collections. And the last two seasons (12-13) are absolute trash.
I simply gave those away and kept the rest. Still worth it. And still cheaper than trying to buy the good stuff, 1-11, individually.

I hated how they had this whole episode where Peggy gets him a funeral plot, and then they apparently forgot and did that dippy episode where they flushed Cotton's ashes down a toilet.

This is a later season trash episode. When the show gave up and became a literal cartoon. Ignore that episode. I don't consider the last two seasons canon at all.

3. Dale Gribble knows about John Redcorn and has the entire time, but intentionally feigns total ignorance since he loves Joseph and Nancy too much to rock the boat. He's also well aware that while John Redcorn is Joseph's father, he's Joseph's real dad.

I think it’s more-or-less canon that Dale is at least subconsciously aware that Nancy was sleeping with John Redcorn as there’s a few times where he mentions having reoccurring dreams of Nancy giving birth to Jospeh wearing a Native American headdress or that the timeline for Joseph’s conception doesn’t make sense before swerving right into tinfoil hat territory to explain away these discrepancies.

I think it’s more likely Dale’s just in deep denial and copes by coming up with elaborate stories revolving aliens and government coverups because to him that’s easier than facing the reality that his wife cheated on him.

So after years of seeing random KotH images and short clips I finally started watching the series properly. Two episodes in (Not in my Back-hoe and Cotton Hill) and I love it already. I wasn't expecting so many minor jokes per episode, I can't remember the last time I watched a show genuinely cracking up so frequently.
Well I love Mike Judge so this wasn't exactly a jump in the unknown for me, but still, A++ will keep watching till I'm all cracked out.

Disagreed there.

Dog Dale Afternoon makes it pretty clear how Dale is tricked. If he trusts you, IE friends, family, Nancy, then he implicitly trusts you, no questions asked. And many more times he's shown to have extremely high integrity when it comes to loyalty (barring when his crazy thoughts don't interfere).

If that's too hard to explain or you haven't seen the episode, just think of CWC. If you pretend to be a girl and flirt with him, he will then trust you no matter what. Dale's the same when it comes to people or things he's close to. He doesn't see Nancy with Redcorn simply because in his mind, Nancy would never cheat on him; he can't and won't see it, because like any good conspiracy theorist, if it's not in his worldview, it doesn't exist.

Reminder that Redcorn isn't even his real father and Joseph is the unique hybrid child of Dale and an advanced xeno.
Redcorn loses on all grounds and Dale wins. And his supposed friends along with the man who fucked his wife are all deceitful losers. Except Bill and Boomhauer since Bill is too innocent and no one understood Boomhauer when he tried to tell Dale his wife was cheating on him.

That episode where they had Dale help Redcorn get his land back and then have Redcorn secretly "forgive" Dale for supposedly "stealing" Nancy and Joseph was stupid though. Yeah sure, as if Dale fucking owes you anything.

Buckley is a good example why you don't put idiots/teenagers in charge of something as volitive or dangerous as propane (or anything if the idiots in the beginning are any indication). The lazy dumbass refused to listen to Hank specifically telling him not to drag the tanks around by the valve and he did it anyway blowing the store and himself up
