Yeah, that's a cool connection. Green Day and Screeching Weasel were labelmates on Lookout! Records in the early days

Yes! Thank you, that's the other connection. I originally thought they were both from Gilman St, but SW is from Illinois, not California.

Edit: one more little connection I remember thinking was neat back in the day when all I listened to was GD, SW, and similar bands.

Green Day: "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" (one of my favourites of theirs)

Screeching Weasel: "I Wrote Holden Caulfield" (on an album that Mike Dirnt of Green Day played on)

I bet he also reads and critiques a lot of instruction manuals where he notices typos, inaccurate screw sizes, inappropriate tool recommendations and poo poo like that.

"Now why on earth would I use a socket wrench on that when I've got mah' vice grips right here?"

"90 grit sandpaper? What? Why, that wouldn't give me a smooth surface to apply my varnish at all. Say, who wrote this anyway?"

He might even call the manufacturer to address these issues.

*is on hold for 25 minutes*

"Hey Hank Hill, Strickland Propane. I thought I'd like to let you know that a 3/8" bolt with 35 pounds of torque applied with an adjustable wrench is a far better way to get your set screws adjusted properly. I thought ya might like to know and maybe reprint your manual."

I'm having a hard time actually picturing him sitting down to read a real novel. Maybe Tom Clancy or Brad Thor or something like that. Perhaps Willie Nelson has an autobiography. Or Tom Landry. More likely, he has some coffee table books about the Alamo or the Dallas Cowboys that he got for Christmas and looked at once.

Hank is too busy Getting Things Done to find time to read.

Very true.

I think Hank is the best example of "he doesn't read, and that's fine" I can think of.

I think that fits. The poster who said he stopped reading books is right if we mean novels. Hank probably suffered through some required reading though I imagine he loved reading pulp paperback westerns and adventure novels.

I imagine maybe Hardy Boys, too, when he was younger.

He's got the faintest hint of an edge to him. The man DID own a RJJ album, after all.

So basically someone hit the lead singer in the face with an ice cube during a punk rock show then ate a punch for her trouble?

And then he apparently hit the manager of the club when she tried to stop the whole thing, though I think that's kind of a thing that comes with the territory of managing a punk club.

However, all of this on top of how Ben Weasel just seems to be in general doesn't really sit well.

I was looking for a clip and found that some account named "King of the Hill Official" (seems legit) has uploaded every episode to dailymotion, but with the edit that every character is now a soft spoken go-rilla person. Favorite new line read so far: Enrique slurring out "A monkey with a hat!"

Oh my god, they're pitched up AND slowed down. Weird.

"Hank, I don't think those Canadians are who they pretend to be."

Edit: I'm Canadian as gently caress, and even I think Gordon is a complete jackass. I'd personally love to hang out on Rainey St.

And of course they had to give him the over-accentuated accent. No weirder than what you all get from Wisconsin or something.

last 2 seasons of this show were weirdly good given that it was clearly in a slide before that

From my experience with my now almost completed full watch/rewatch, season 11 kind of sucks, but literally everything else, both before and after, is better.

That being said, and it's been mentioned many times itt, a bad King of the Hill episode is still usually better than most other shows, so it only really falters by the standard set by the rest of the show.

Stephen Root played a tragic vampire in True Blood and his performance was the high watermark of the show.

I can't believe I forgot he was in that, and I saw him in what little I watched of that show.

What's with Haschel? I almost exclusively know him from the yearly Awful Xmas threads, and he kills there, so I don't get the comparison. Dude's hilarious and wonderful.

As for RJJ being this generation's Steamed Hams, can you imagine trying to explain that meme like ten, maybe 15 years from now? I can't. I'd be like Peggy...

Me: "Oh! Steamed Hams! 'Aurora Borealis... At this time of day....', hahahaha. This meme got us through the Trump presidency. If there was a meme for 2016, this was it."
