Who What Now posted:The episode where Peggy has to tutor the football captain and he has a legit learning disability or something sucks poo poo. You're misremembering the episode. He doesn't have a learning disability at all. He just coasted through high school because of his football fame and didn't bother learning the material. His mother tricked Peggy and Hank into thinking he has a learning disability. When he learned this, he got pissed off, realized how lovely he treated Peggy and made a legit effort to learn something before the big game. This episode was made before it was known that football pride enabled child molestation.

David Kalaiki-Alii's mother. Who is also Hank's insurance adjuster in another episode. It was portrayed a lovely thing of her to do. I'm not from or have ever been to Texas, but the whole episode was basically a critique on small town Texas's obsession with football.

One thing I like about this show is that instead of doing some hacky BS where everyone idiotically mispronounces the POC characters’ foreign-sounding surnames, everyone pretty much gets it right. Even a conservative guy like Hank can take the time to properly pronounce the names of his neighbors like Souphanousinphone and Kalaiki-Alii because it’s common freakin’ courtesy.

"He ain't Chinese" looks Khan up and down "He's Laotian. Aintcha mistah Khan?" My favorite exchange in the series and it sets a tone for that

In early Cotton episodes there's a couple of jokes about inverting your expectations of such a hateful old man. When DeeDee tells him they have to leave: "What did you say? ... What did you say?!" [Hank and Peggy look concerned; Cotton adjusts his hearing aid] "Now what'd you say babycakes?"

Ches Neckbeard posted:"He ain't Chinese" Same with me. You really think they're going to be lazy with the writing, making Cotton unsurprisingly racist and dumb, and he's the opposite, while STILL generally being an rear end in a top hat. At least he shits on people based on their character and not much else.

Cotton's best moments: When he sees Peggy with a black eye and gets pissed at Hank. "I didn't teach you that!" And later, when he dies, his last words: Peggy's there with him and tells him she wishes he lives forever and is always in pain. And he opens his eyes and says "Oh, do you now?" and bites it there.

After seeing how absolutely amazing the 2 part Japan episodes were, I would have liked to see them do it with Cottons ashes. Honestly I think it would have made a decent movie. The movie starts on the first day of Summer and Khan is showing off his new RV, a surprisingly common trope in movies in the 80s and 90s. He's bragging about all of his different vacation ideas when Hank finds out Cotton has died. Cotton says he wants his ashes thrown in a Washington DC politicians face, and Hank at first completely refuses the idea but Peggy, wanting an excuse to go to DC, convinces Hank to find a statue of a politician he doesn't like to throw the ashes at. Hank agrees and inspired by Khan rents an RV for the trip. Dale convinces Hank to let him and Joseph come so the boys can spend summer together, and Khan insists he bring his family and RV along too. He claims this is to let Connie hang out with her friends for the summer and to break in his new RV, but in reality he is heartbroken that the only American to ever recognize him as a Laotian has died and he wants to attend the "ceremony". The movie ends when Dale "pocket ashes" Bill Clinton right in the face.

Went to Oklahoma recently. Could not help but think "I'm from Texas, so even if these lousy redneck people have home turf advantage, I can still kick their rear end." Learned this attitude from King of the Hill about a place I'd never been. Ended up enjoying myself immensely, meeting great very nice people, and generally having a great time. Someday I'll have to go back. And it was nothing like my poor attitude forecasted. After actually visiting Oklahoma, I have very few negative things to say about the place.

I didn’t see the government or the Wichita Queen. I went there for Richard Marx, his tour wasn’t coming any closer to where I live. The concert was great, most human celebrity I’ve ever encountered. Also stopped by a mall, a restaurant, a bookstore, a seedy motel that nevertheless gave me a good night’s sleep, and a great action figure museum. Every place was decent, good as any I’ve been in Texas or elsewhere. Drove past the Winstar World Casino- soon as this pandemic ends and I get the chance and they host the right concert I’m definitely going back to directly check that place out. Don’t press me for more details, it’s been a month and this is all I recall.

Detective No. 27 posted:David Kalaiki-Alii's mother. Who is also Hank's insurance adjuster in another episode. Pretty accurate, too. In my high school, on game days, the football team ate breakfast on an elevated platform aet up in the center of the cafeteria and were served steak, eggs, fresh fruit, and various other luxuries while the rest of us ate the typical reheated garbage schools normally ate at the time.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:And Bill's got a whole fancy family. Unfortunately not, according to Gilbert "There's no one but us? But what about Aunt Esme, and cousin Violetta?" "Aunt Esme died of fever, Violetta died suddenly in her sleep. The swamp takes what it calls its' own. Let me tell you of our ill-fated kin. Consumption, drink, impostor, madhouse, public madhouse, barren, barren, barren... well pretty much this whole left side. Leaving only us."

Hank has the half brother in Japan as well as good hank. There’s an episode where Joseph falls in love with a girl he doesn’t know is his half sister. I guess none of those people grew up with the siblings though. Doesn’t hank have a brother in zz top? Or was that a cousin
