I have a love hate relationship with the military academy episode.

I absolutely love how much cotton loves Bobby, it’s one of my favorite parts of the show. But that episode takes a bit of that magic away.

the ending is great though. it has a nice moment where hank shows a sort of understanding about bobby and cotton sees it from hanks perspective.

I think the lines are

you cant build up mud hank.
Yea but you cant break it down either.
Hey you're right.

Oh and khan is taking medication for manic depressive disorder but based on his symptoms (specifically the time frame) he is more likely to have borderline

he is taking it for bipolar disorder which can involve a manic and depressive cycle but obviously its not as exaggerated as his was. If they wanted to play it straight he would always be in the depressive cycle because the most common thing mood stabiliziers do is to smother your emotions. thats why people say they feel like a zombie on them.

It showed him off his medication and he was swinging between manic and depressive episodes multiple times a day, which doesn’t happen with bipolar but absolutely does occur with borderline

was it multiple times a day? i thought he was manic for like 1 day helping hank make the grill then went on a 3day depressive phase. im not familiar w/ borderline but daily swaps is about bipolar.

No way. Bobby IS Cotton. He is just never going to kill fiddy men.

my favorite koth moment is when cotton is talking to hank at the end of the episode where cotton has bobby sent to his old military school. "bobby is like mud, you can't build up mud hank" "yeah but you can't really break it down either"

making GBS threads on hippies is hilarious because of how harmless they are. No real reason to hate them, that's what makes it funny.

Some things just seem very odd about Cotton's war record. Like when in full dress uniform Cotton was shown wearing the Medal of Honor, and Legion of Honour. Those are the highest military decorations for both the USA, and France. Yet for some reason he had to fight to get a burial plot in the veterans' administration cemetery. There is no way in hell a veterans cemetery is ever going to consider turning down a Medal of Honor winner. You'd also think Hank would bring up the fact that Cotton won the Medal of Honor all the time, I mean the award is so prestigious that it is presented to the recipient by the President in person. Then again you could put it down to inconsistent writing since later on Cotton has them flush his ashes down the bar toilet General George S. Patton once used, thus making his fight for the cemetery plot totally pointless.

in one of the episodes isnt peggy helping him get something and she realises that a large portion of his i killed fiddy men stories are impossible because he cant be fighting in two battles because it would be impossible to travel from one to the other in time. she brings it up to hank and hanks answer is to shrug and say he used to be 6 feet tall so it cant be all fake. then they figure out he was never in europe and faught in the pacific the entire time. then when cotton is giving his speech about he deserves what he is trying to get he starts off with his usual blusster then peggy reminds him and he tells the truth for once in the entire episode

I have no idea what might be in a rebooted koth but one thing I'd like to see is Buck Strickland converting his propane dealerships into pot dispensaries. It's an easy decision for Buck because of how much more money is in pot than propane but Hank obviously hates it. Hank tries to find another propane related place to work but there are no local propane dealerships left because there's no money in it, so what would he do? Stay out of loyalty to Buck and try to adapt to modern life or would he quit and struggle with unemployment for a while?

Maybe if Hank did decide to quit then Bobby or Peggy would apply for the job because they need income and think Hank is being ridiculous

is it even legal in tx? i just googled it and it looks like they are maybe voting on it this year. i know its medically legal in pretty much every state now but i feel like tx isnt going to let you go to the dr and claim you have chronic migranes and need a 215 card like ca was doing after clinton sent in the feds

Watched the Peggy bookstore episode. I think that’s the only ep where Dale shows he’s a competent businessman. He’s selling a ton of guns for what seems to be a profit and really knows his product and customers.

I know he’s gotta be an exterminator, but fun to get hints he’d do much better in a different field. Like Bill being an excellent salesman.

the thing is he is actually a really good exterminator probably because he studies insects in his basement when not drinking alien piss. on your next re watch watch the episodes where they show him doing something with insects. the one where he seeds hanks lawn with fire ants because he is mad at hank , the time bobby and joseph become the queen ants pawn bobby gets covered in ants and dale takes his hand so they will sting him. if you think about it he probably crushed a bunch of ants on bobbies hand so the fire ants are swarming the spot with the death pheromones which leads them to dale he would know that. even the weird one where his wife thinks he might cheat on her with the pigeon lady he spouts a ton of knowledge about roaches. the one where he cant exterminate anymore and gets an office job firing people is like the only time he acts out of character about insects and josephs hissing roaches get loose in the building due to him.

Is there any redeeming qualities of Bill because I just finished the episode where he almost successfully turned Bobby into a sad-sack incel and I won’t forgive him for doing that.

Also the whistle Bobby was supposed to use in case Bill gave him advice made me lol

he's related to the best one off character in the entire series. plus when he says his full name it cracks me up.

also how many voice actors are dead i thought it was just luanne but someone was saying its alot

Boomhauer had a vasectomy when he was 19.

this is the least real thing in the entire show. as someone who tried to get one at 18 in ca it was literally impossible. drs wouldnt even do the reversable kind. i managed to get one at 24 but probably only because i had a 6 yr history of trying to get one constantly. tx even in the era of the show wouldnt let you get your poo poo sniped until you had kids + were older.

What's hosed up is that the group of Vietnam vets in the episode isn't a random sampling, it's guys who are specifically in a trauma support group, and they're presented as broadly representative of everyone who fought in Vietnam.

I still don’t get the hate for the Mrs. Wakefield episode. But yeah, the school fair episode is easily the worst one.

Trans-Fascism isn’t very good, but it is an interesting cultural moment. American Dad had a similar episode at the time and I’m pretty sure there were one or two other cartoons with a similar trans-fat ban episode.

yeah but the american dad one was good. honestly top tier plus it gave us the forrest whittiker cop character which i know is just his shield character taken to an extreme but its hilarious every time

Agree that the episodes where all he does is lose and get poo poo on are tough during rewatch. For example, the family fracas episode.

I’d rank Ben from Dr Katz pretty high. I still quote him regularly.

But I can’t believe there’s no love for Archer. My ranking is:

Ban this filth.

Quoting myself here:



And wasn't it even a decent amount of time between his first and second appearance? His first one is when Khan is trying to be "white trash" because I guess it would be better for Connie's chances at getting in to a good school/get a scholarship, right? Then he meets Lucky and the gang and they go "stickin'", which is some sort of 2x4-based street fighting tournement.

kind of not really. kahn and minh become white trash because their tired of poo poo like ted wassanasong calling them a banana so they just wanna chill out and have fun. kahn jr uses it to her advantage to help her get into some prestigious school thing.

then buck calls hank and tells him about kahn being in the sticks fights and trying to get info on if he should bet on him.

That's mixing up two episodes. Kahn becomes a redneck because Connie was turned down for an academic program because her and her family were too much of cliche Asian overachievers so he decided to just go "gently caress it" and stop trying altogether.

Ted Wassanasong calling him a banana is what makes him try and reconnect to his Laotian roots by putting on a kuhlie hat and joining a performative anti-Communist resistance force

i wasnt mixing them up but i did forget that kahn jr was originally denied entrance to the program over being the over achieving asian stereotype. i thought i remembered the ted calling kahn a banana bleeding into a few other episodes

back to minh and kahn though. "what are you girls doing you dont freak the monkey you freak dr quaters!"
