Peggy is a lazy underacheiver with a heavily inflated opinion of herself. She exaggerates her minor accomplishments and skills and is blind to her many failures.

She considers herself a great educator despite only having a 2-year degree and being only a substitute teacher. One of the best examples of this was when she was at the used bookstore.

"Psychology! Sociology! Chemistrolo... oh, Chemistry." *tosses book away*

She's happy to half educate herself on a topic, but has no ambition to follow through or put in any serious work to master anything. She likes "-ologies" because there is no lab work, only sitting and reading. She's the opposite of Hank, in that he has intense focus and tends to be extremely competent in whatever he does, but never makes a big deal of it.

Deep down, she knows all this, which is why even minor problems and setbacks send her running away in tears. She is very insecure and masks it with bravado so often that she sometimes even believes it herself.

It's also why she hates Bill so much. She knows subconsciously that she is never more than a few failures away from becoming him.

She's a great character because she is the perfect depiction of that sort of person, and everyone either knows or has met someone just like her.

Hank is a loving weirdo. Even if his dad did love him he would still need Peg a Leg.

He's a textbook control freak. He wouldn't be happy without someone to control.

They work because Peggy needs controlling. On her own, she'd fall for the first Nigerian e-mail scam to come her way, then fly off to Africa and get killed by some scammer when she demands her money back.

Bill is a piece of poo poo and the only reason he has any friends is because he is pathetic more often than he is successful.

Every time Bill starts to improve himself or comes into the tiniest bit of power, he becomes a total rear end in a top hat, and usually focuses the worst of it onto the person who has helped him the most; Hank.

One of the later episodes, to my shame I can't at all recall which, he is talking to Peggy and brings up an old woman who got too old to care for her lawn, and he brags something like "who forced her to move? Me."

Early Hank would have taken care of her lawn for nothing more than the pure joy of lawn care, and at least a little for the Eagle Scout in him, but late Hank really was a WASP piece of poo poo.

I'm kind of surprised that Mike Judge and Co haven't just put the two on YouTube, riffing on a whole bunch of different stuff. They don't need to bother with any of the plot segments, so It would essentially require limited animation, a bunch of voice over work, and just various clips from shows or other MTV things. Maybe even music videos, since YouTube is the new MTV.

Just make The Soup but with these two. I'd watch the hell out of it. poo poo, put them on Netflix, watching a bunch of Netflix-produced stuff. That would at least be future-proofed.

They only ever used like, 5 or so animations on the music videos/tv show riffs. This would be a breeze.

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.

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.

Rewatched Love Hurts and So Does Art because I love the Bobby-gout storyline. The storyline of Hank’s colon being framed alongside a starving African child felt like it was one of the fan plots from this thread. Anyway, I learned that the beef defamation law Hank uses to get the artist arrested is based on a real law that is still on the books in Texas, and was the crux of a high-profile case against Oprah Winfrey.

This is why Peggy is such a great character, and why she can only be appreciated if you know someone like her.

She is utterly mediocre in everything she does. She got a 2 year degree instead of a 4 year. She's a substitute teacher but not full time. She will study anything with an -ology in it but nothing more complex.

She revels in her mediocrity and truly believes it is all a sign of greatness.

Luanne would definitely be a MAGA type at first but would leave it pretty fast because she actually has empathy for other people.


None of the main cast would be chuds, basically.

I don't know. She was pretty willing to take Dale for all he was worth when Lucky was suing him. Didn't have any issue at all with taking his house to pay for her wedding.

She also went turbo CHUD when she got big doing the Manger Babies with John Redcorn. Luanne is a lot like Bill. The moment she's on top, she shits on everyone who helped her get there. She's also incredibly ignorant and extremely impressionable.

MAGA material if anyone ever was.

The bullet fails to kill Hank, but does do brain damage causing him to become much more aggressive and forgetful.

Peggy leaves him, tired of his oppressive and abusive nature, and Hank moves to Highland Texas, eventually meeting a much more submissive and obedient woman.

Dooley ends up moving to Highland as well and terrorizes Hank along with his new friend.
