BIG FLUFFY DOG: Feb 16, 2011; On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

In the episode "Hank's Back Story" it is revealed that Hank Hill has a medical condition where he has no rear end whatsoever. However in the ending credits scene for the episode Traffic Jam, Hank Hill states that the racial stereotype of White people possessing no butts is not true, with Black comedian-turned-propane-salesman Roger "Booda" Sack agreeing with him and adding that:

A. Hank Hill is self-evident proof that this assertion is false and that

B. Hank Hill's butt is "drat fine"

Did Hank Hill unknowingly cut his rear end off in the two seasons between the episodes? Does Booda Sack have terrible taste in butts? Frankly I don't know what to believe anymore.

Which is the episode where Boomhauer speaks perfect Spanish? My sister works as a Spanish Interpreter, and the last time she saw it was before she had even decided on a degree in Spanish. Since it's on Hulu now, we're watching it from the beginning, and she has to be the one who has the remote, because when Peggy speaks Spanish, she often has to pause the show from laughing so hard at Peggy's word choices and terrible, terrible accent.
That's just another amazing detail this show does. Not only did they write Peggy speaking terrible Spanish, they wrote it in such a way that it's hilarious to bilingual speakers who know both English and Spanish.
For instance, in Hank's Got the Willies, she tells Hank that he needs to spend some time with Bobby and talk to him "mano a mano" which obviously she thinks means "man to man", but actually means "hand to hand", when "mano a mano" is also a phrase with a connotation that means a conflict between two people.

Peggy's Spanish is genius.

All the mistakes she makes in her famous courtroom speech in Lupe's Revenge are all very easy mistakes to make because they're all almost the right word but not quite like "caballo" (meaning horse) instead of "caballero" (gentleman) or sound very similar to an English word despite meaning something different. (Embarazada means pregnant not embarrassed, and its actually a mistake English-speakers are so infamous for making that almost every Spanish textbook will repeatedly remind you not to make it.)

While her awful Spanish is great, the times she corrects native speakers is peak Peggy Hill.

I recieved a lot of calls from Mexico, their Spanish wasn't great, but I could still piece together that they were getting sick after drinking Alamo beer.

It's the one where Hank is telling lots of lies to the horrible visiting businessman from Massachusetts. Bobby thinks Hank can't be his father because Hank was in a Mexican POW camp during the 80's. He takes a (wrong) piece of information he was given and makes a logical conclusion. Later on we find out Joseph knows his dad was away when he was conceived, which is correct, and he draws no conclusions at all.

Incorrect. He draws the conclusion that Dale was abducted by aliens had his DNA stolen which the aliens then used to impregnate Nancy because even though Dale isn't his real father Joseph IS Dale's son.

I've watched a season or two of King of the Hill. Can someone explain boomhauer, if that's his name. The guy who talks too softly or unintelligibly to understand. Is he a normal representation of a certain type of Texan or something? I'm sure he's not, but... I don't get it?

Boomhauer's super-relatable. I know a lot of people irl who are completely unintelligible because they combine an extremely thick accent with mumbling. Nobody can understand them but nobody wants to point it out because it would be impolite. He's probably the thing from King of the Hill I reference most often irl.

Yeah, it was understated but appropriate to the series and ended with Bobby and Hank bonding over something without having to sacrifice who they were. Much better than the first intended series finale which was just a boring-rear end Wedding ending like we're in a loving Elizabethan comedy.

Nancy wants Dale to get a new job since he is not making any money, so he and Hank go on a "vocation vacation" to learn basket weaving. Meanwhile, Peggy, Kahn and Bill try to achieve Internet stardom by creating a wacky viral video.

This was a really good episode by late season standards. Hank going from absolutely disgusted with the basket weaving to adoring it and developing a passion for it because it involves tools and craftsmanship is amazing.

There's a great bit in that scene where he calls muhammad ali Cassius clay. Like he's his go to example and clearly respects his talent, but Muhammad just seems a little too exotic, you know?

He was actually referring to the original Cassius Clay the Kentucky abolitionist who once got shot by a pro-slavery assassin during a speech, stopped to kick that guys rear end with his bare hands, and then returned to finish his anti-slavery speech.

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.

Season 10 has Peggy accidentally committing chemical warfare and Tartuffe the spry wonder dog.

Hank trying to eat a meatloaf sandwich in peace isn't even the A plot of that episode. It's the goofy plot about Peggy and Bobby trend chasing with the 'cool' mom.

Hank getting mad about the policies of a restaurant nobody�s forcing him to go to should have been the only plot of the episode.

thanks to Hulu (rare I say that) I am going through King of the Hill which I have barely watched in two decades. it was not a favorite as a kid. the groundedness and under-stated humor were probably the reason, nevertheless if it was on TV I watched it.

as I began two questions were on my mind: will it connect better as an adult? will it bring back warm and fuzzy memories of pre-9/11 era?

my thoughts on the first seven or so eps:

- pilot was okayish. love the FIAT joke. standard "son pranks his father" stuff.
- uh oh. some precursors to our current hellworld: parent backlash against public schools; Dale calling in threats to teachers hits a bit differently than it did in 1997! lots of Dale conspiracy stuff such as global warming, black helicopters, and eugenics/population control in the government
- the best imo out of this first batch is when Luana and her boyfriend break-up. Hank is kind of a jerk but in the end caves and has heart. a good character episode.
- not getting the "Peggy is awful" stuff that some mentioned ITT yet

Peggy is the funniest character in the show because there are a million of her in real life which is also the exact reason Peggy haters hate her.
