The older I get the funnier it becomes.

I laughed so hard that I cried at that scene where Dale destroys Hanks lawn and he just fckin goes after him.

People who have a hard time picking up subtle humor will typically call this show trash and laugh through an entire episode of family guy. Great writing isn't for everyone

Golden Age Simpsons>Post-season 2 American Dad*>King of the Hill>all other animated comedies

When McFarlane stopped polluting it with his shitty politics, got a sex change, and became Dillon Harper.

>>81324319
Same.

I know I sound like a massive faggot but I find myself identifying with Hank more and more as I get older.

>>81324348
There should be an asterisk before "When McFarlane" apologies very drunk

>>81324350
Hank is meant to be identifiable to the point of comedy. He is sensible, traditional, American.

>>81324348
are u implying looking like dillon harper is bad?

it's projecting

the irish are hated because they are the most powerful race after the Filipinos

>>81324348
This. While not really hitting the peaks of Golden Age Simpsons, American Dad has been consistently funny (save for a bad episode or two a season) since season 2. King of the Hill has always been good, with no particular highs and with lows only stemming from goddamn Lucky.

>>81324465

Damn, he's pretty swarthy.

>>81324489
why do people hate lucky

>>81324430
There is a pornstar named Dillon Harpr and her face looks exactly like McFarlane's. It's disturbing, if you told me she was his daughter I would believe you.

>>81324514
no it's projecting on the most luckiest of races

>>81324507
He was a boring asf character

This show needs to be revived. This is the perfect era for it. And no more luane.

>>81324348
American Dad being good is almost entirely because of Roger and his personas. Without him, it's just a lazy Family Guy/Simpsons clone.

>>81324628
Roger is comedic gold.

His jokes never get stale because he can basically be whatever the fuck giving the writers flexibility

>>81324350

What is this supposed to mean? Do you even know what you want it to mean? How often do you just throw the word meme into a sentence for no god damn reason?

I don't know man, episodes like "Ho Yeah!", "Bobby Goes Nuts" and the japanese episodes rival Golden Age sampsorns

>>81324628
Roger's disguises let the writers constantly introduce new characters without having to actually introduce new characters. He's basically the antagonist in every episode starting around season 3 or so (not coincidentally, the same time the show got good).

>>81324742
No I mean king of the Hill is literally a meme.

>>81324348

Wrong, Futurama was position #2

>>81324819
Futurama's really inconsistent. Once it finally finds a groove it gets canceled, brought back, and having to reestablish with new writers. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the jarring humor between different episodes really works to its detriment.

>>81324348

False. I love American Dad but the tbs episodes are shit. KOTH is better consistently

I think that Mike Judge is actually a cross between Dale and Hank IRL.

>>81324919
I don't think he's "caught" in it. Sometimes he learns something about being tolerant to odd things such as yoga but most of the time Hank is shown to be in the right, like the Tarot cards.

Hank isn't a cartoon character. You can meet him in any rural suburb in Texas. This show is real as fuck.

>>81325060
Or like in the episode where he actually appreciates hippy organic grocery stores because of their humane treatment of animals and libertarian approach to the market and ends up bringing a bit of his own capitalistic ideas to the table to improve the store while still respecting the original goal.

>>81324233

does anybody else think that episode where Bobby gets allergic to Ladybird and lives in a doghouse for a while was weird?

It just feels off, it has this weird tone

>>81325166

THIS. I feel like this show reaches you on a different level if you grew up in the south.

>>81324507
>why do people hate lucky

He was little more than a stereotype and one-trick pony. The other characters, while having some stereotypical aspects, had more heft.

>>81325261
I agree that was a weird episode that didn't really fit. Hank's character was a bit off. It was heartfelt though. I guess writing a ladybird episode isn't that easy.

Why the flib isn't this show on Netflix?

>>81325315
People keep buying the dvds and/or paying for downloads

>>81325315
I think it used to be but its license or whatever ran out.

>>81325315
It was. I watched nothing but King of the Hill on that thing in college.

>>81325291
yeah definitely it was Hank, maybe it was meant to show that's the only time he's like that, but it was weird

>tfw you grew up in the town Arlen was based on.

Everytime I watch the show it brings back memories of how comfy it was before it became ghetto trash.

>>81325261
not as weird as the episode with the pig man. I get that it was a Halloween episode but still.

>>81325432
Mexicans canceled the real life version of King of the Hill

>>81325464
Also blacks moving outward from Dallas.

R.I.P Garland.

The funniest thing I saw on King of the Hill is when Hank is driving to get Bobby from some other state and he passes a sign that says "Welcome to Arkansas: Birthplace of Bill Clinton" and he locks his doors immediately.

>>81325557

KotH is full of jokes like that
>lid won't come off can of WD40 Hank brought on vacation
>brings out smaller, travel-size can of WD40 to loosen the bigger can's lid

>>81324628

Yeah, you have to hand it to AD, Roger was pretty damn strong from the getgo

>Thanks for seeing me, Mrs. Borginnis.
>It's MS. Borginnis, but yes, I'm married, and Borginnis is my husband's name.

>>81325557
There's a scene where he goes downtown to where all the degeneracy is to return a forgery to a sports memorabilia store and as he's walking through the streets filled with bums, degenerates and young people, he looks around and says to Peggy "it's like Hell... Or... *Scoffs* Austin".

So many themes in this show resonate so much over a decade later, like this one. Back when cultish leftists were a punchline and not a series threat wiping out traditional families like the Hills.

>>81325389
so did i.

my roommates didn't care for the show at first but after a few weeks they were hooked.

>>81325437
the weirdest thing about that episode was that he was literally made into a sausage and neither peggy nor luanne said a damn thing to anyone.

Is this one of those quintessential "you don't like it until you're older" shows?

I know me and pretty much all of my friends thought KoTH was so fucking boring when we were kids and now it's one of everyone's favorites.

>>81326018
Obama for elected.

this show is trailer trash garbage

>>81326189
I think it has just become more kino as the world becomes descends into chaos kind of like how 80's synthwave and Miami Vice aesthetic is hot again.

>>81326189
>you don't like it until you're older
Yes. I grew up thinking of it as the show that got in the way of the Simpsons, but now it's my favorite show.

i will say i enjoyed it more as an adult though.

KOTH is extremely accurate depiction of life in texas.

What's with the meme of not liking it when you were a kid? I loved watching it with my brother. Boomhauer and dale are even funnier characters when I was a kid I think, at least boomhauer was.

>>81327056
I actually consider Boomhauer the funniest of the four now.

>>81327032
Evertyone I know from Texas says this. I can't tell if it's an elaborate Texan joke like drop bears or it it's actually true.

I live in San Antonio, it's true. There are a lot of people like Hank that have niche obsessions usually over their jobs that they eventually derail a conversation to.

I may think of the Simpsons all the time, but there's a few KotH stuff that has always stuck with me. Mainly the one where Bobby and Hank's boss Buck go to a gambling den and the bouncer is going to beat up Buck cause they owe him money. But then Hank comes to save the day and he yells "Dad!" The bouncer then looks confused casue Buck was pretending to be his dad and the bouncer say "I thought this was your dad?" And Bobby runs to Hank and says "No, no, no, this on'es my dad, the one with the golf club."

I think I got closer to my own dad after that, cause I was hanging out with this other guy cause I thought he was cooler, but he was kinda big loser and my dad was the guy with the golfclub that would swing at anyone if they ever messed with me.

>has just become more kino as the world becomes descends into chaos

It's the rare series that white Americans can watch now that's not super old yet makes us comfy for nostalgia. And what's weird is that 10 years, this is the Americana we wanted to escape because years of TV programming told us it was "small minded." And weirder still: it's animation.

It's highly telling that networks do not allow series like this; no series have stable, sensible white fathers in a traditional setting. Even Married with Children is about American decline, same as The Simpsons, which is a Jewish-written projection of the clueless nuclear family.

I forget why Judge said Rupert Murdoch gave him the greenlight, perhaps due to Office Space banking on DVD? I have Judge's canceled series about the liberal family, still need to watch that, prob way ahead of its time.

KotH is the only mainstream series I can watch in my 30s and not see /pol/ subtitles on. Odd that it's on Adult Swim. Makes it feel patronizing in context, though I know Mike Lazzo is huge fan.

>>81327578

Murdoch was probably looking at Beavis and Buttheads merchandising money and figured giving Judge another shot at it was a good financial move. It doesn't matter what you say if the powers that be make a lot of money.

>>81327076
It'a not even an exaggeration. The only stuff that isn't real are things like John Redcorn and the Asian neighbors which are just wacky elements in the show. Hank's family, his friends, the town, his job, and pretty much 95% of the things in the show really exist and are common if you grow up in Texas with a Texas family outside of a city.

>>81327379
BE THERE-ERE

>>81327578
Dude, that's cool if you like the show for what it is, but give me a fucking break with this whole romanticizing your nostalgia for it.

>>81324628
Nah. Stan is a god tier sitcom character during the show's golden years (season 2-6)

Roger is more high concept but Seth McFarlane absolutely kills it in the Stan role, his delivery is perfect
