Hank Hill is a conservative, but he's not a reactionary. As a man who respects LBJ, he would probably have voted for Biden.

I liked how Luanne was a competent mechanic but would never be allowed to actualize this professionally because of the stifling gender roles assumed of her by her immediate family

Yeah Redcorn being a dirtbag has always been a clear fact about him

He's a good character, just not a very good person

I just rewatched the episode with Lucky and Luannes wedding and I noticed that there are some weird guests in attendance.

First I noticed Ted, Cindy, and Chane Wassanasong and that's what made me look closer. Then I saw Boomhauers brother Patch, Tammy the prostitute, Junichiro apparently flew out for it, Peggys Scandinavian hairdresser from that one episode, the water heater repairman that Ladybird bit, and Dooly and Mark Peters are there too.

And then I noticed part of the wedding decor included Hanks grill hooked up to a gold propane tank lol.

They probably just used a bunch of old character. designs to fill up the crowd

Come to think of it, the wedding would be rather depressingly small if they didnt. Luanne doesn't really have a lot of people in the world. Her church contacts maybe? That's about it outside the core cast

At the same time, why wouldn't KotH writers pick up on that as something they could portray with the subtle honesty they portray most of their characters

Baffling

Maybe he'll be a gig economy worker. Ubering and delivering food and so on. Bearing it in good humor because he's a generally well adjusted guy, but showcasing how hosed up it all is.

Every part of Dale is already scrubbed of the ps. It's the Jews parts of conspiracy culture so you'd just have Dale be really into something equivalent to all the funny parts of Qanon.

The primary joke of Dale is predicated on the idea that conspiracy mongers are generally harmless, and I don't know if that's a premise for a joke that works so well these days, especially if they go Q anon with him. I suppose they'll have to continue to have it so that his deal is still far too niche to be a threat.

The secondary joke of Dale is that for all his conspiracy theories he can't see what's right in front of his face, in terms of his family. That still has legs.

Back when Dale was first written, the internet was just getting started as a mainstream thing and "conspiracy dudes" were largely of the black helicopter/JFK/UFO variety and mostly laughed at as harmless idiots, not elected to congress and hosting highly rated news channels.

Right, that's what I was gesturing towards in the clause after the one you bolded. It worked, once, because of the situation being like you described. It just doesn't work anymore because times changed.

The Nancy/Dale thing is interesting because he's being cheated on the entire show and he never finds out. Nancy isn't treated as a villain and she never "gets her comeuppance". It's a very unique situation for a show, animated or otherwise.

Imo it really helps ground the series in reality

Boomhauer might win in terms of raw numbers but we have to remember that he strikes out way, way, way more than he scores. Bill has women, even the governor of Texas for gods sake, irresistibly drawn to him. For a schlubby guy with terrible self esteem the man lays pipe.

I still can't fathom how Cotton Hill, a deranged foul-mouthed sourfaced shinless whoremonger, managed to seduce at least three women without money changing hands.

He is a manipulator with an eye for vulnerable targets. I'm assuming Hank's mom just wised up after enough years of being with him
