hall n oates mom posted:If I realized a year or so sooner just how much I had loved the show, I would've tried my hand at a script as well. Knowing the characters so well and having such an appreciation for them and their signature mannerisms is a drat fine base as long as you can get some solid skeletal scripts ideas in there too. Nothing about writing. We were a subcontractor studio hired by the company to produce the animation. The writers were far off in their own buildings. The writers and animators are not employed by the same company.

twistedmentat posted:Hah, I love the early Halloween episode. Hank remembering what a bad kid he was then being sad and going to call him mom. Im surprised they never brought back that character (even if she was a 1 note character). Also, that episode has a really weird tone to it, like it doesn't quite have the humor/feel of a typical KOTH (even when considering its an early episode)

The episode where Hank is accidentally a pimp has tons of great lines, but the best is Hanks "whoa-a" when Peggy's hot new outfit is revealed. Judge taps into his old days and it just sounds exactly like Butthead is back on my screen.

As I said, I was greatly saddened to realize that there are people out there who are just like Judy Harper and they actually can influence local politics. Up until then, I thought people just ignored them. These days Judy Harper is probably pundit on fox news.

My mother blames satan for everything bad that happens to her or others. There are plenty of people who think Obama is the anti-christ and most of them probably live in the bible belt. You get used to it but it is probably strange from the outside looking in. A lot of the stuff in King of the Hill is very good at cross-sectioning the various parts of the south and it's not ever offended me but neither has Squidbillies which also has some commentary despite the level of ridiculous it runs. Unknown Hinson is the King of Country-Western Troubadors. I have to say this every time I mention Squidbillies. Seriously, he's the king.

Hank driving with the hat, arm out the window and blasting funk is one of my new favorite KOTH moments. I also have to admire how consistently awesome they are at choosing the end-of-credits soundbytes.

Up until then, I thought people just ignored them. In my hometown, the fundies petitioned to stop having "Halloween" at my elementary school. So it became "dress up day" when I was in 5th grade. On "dress up day" only "positive" costumes were allowed- no witches, wizards, warlocks, zombies, vampires, frankensteins...anything dead...the list goes on, you get the drift. My mom made sure I went as a witch.  My high school also had some of those hell houses or whatever the gently caress it is that Harper had in the show where they show people having abortions and teenagers having sex and getting HIV. HILARIOUS.

The episode where the school gets new Texas History books and they suck is on a local station. Bobby just said "Maybe the Alamo wasn't that important." and, as a Texan who took Texas History in the 7th grade, I audibly gasped, so did Hank. I am this show. "I'm gonna kick your rear end. And then I'm gonna re-enact kicking your rear end." Annakie fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Sep 25, 2009 |

"Georgia public schools: someone has to build the cars" is arguably my favorite line in TV history. That entire episode is gold, especially the prayer segment at the beginning.

Seen the episode a zillion times, always knew I recognized the voice, but never until the most recent viewing did I realize Dale's boss at StickTec was Lisa Kudrow. Ridiculously obvious in hindsight, just like the Renn Faire king and Alan Rickman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_guest_stars_on_King_of_the_Hill It will blow your mind who has been on the show The best thing is when the episodes were on, Fox didn't run ads that touted the guest voice. Its just awesome actors, doing their thing on KOTH. I swear there is a guest voice in every episode. So awesome.

Whats amazing is when you realize who a guest voice is without looking it up and then have to go back and rewatch the whole episode Like that high school kid who takes Luanne to the prom... i couldn't figure out who the voice was until he gets beaten up by Elvin and Mud dog and I had an epiphany and shouted "OH MY GOD ITS SOKKA!!!" and then i had to watch the whole episode again

I did not know KoTH had Robert Stack as a guest voice until just now. What other guest stars has this show featured that I'm not aware of?

BlueBayou posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_guest_stars_on_King_of_the_Hill This, right here, is one of the most brilliant things about KOTH. On a show like The Simpsons, they'll shoehorn in some half-assed reason for the family to meet the actual person doing that voice. OH MY GOD YOU'RE U2!! And then for no rational reason Homer is then on tour with the band. I know the shows are completely different in sensibility, but KOTH is amazing because they'd have a very famous person voicing a particular role and there is zero attention drawn to it. I think the only famous person I can remember that was on the show that a character worshipped in this manner was Willie Nelson, but it's completely in character for Hank to respect Willie. Don Meredith was a bit like this, but that episode makes sense and Hank ends up tackling one of his heroes on the field at Texas Stadium, which just kills me. It's always amazing to me when you watch the show and then get to the credits, and, oh, holy poo poo, the yoga instructor was Johnny Depp. And, yeah, Green Day as the three little punk rear end in a top hat teenagers that Hank and pals get into an epic paintball fight with. Great bit of casting. The Hills don't just wackily, somehow, find themselves at a Green Day concert for no reason. The show fits the guest stars into the show's reality.
