Hank HIll is objectively a garbage friend. He knew of his best

yea he's a douche for not telling Dale

also Peggy doesnt tell him either, so she's no better

I think you mean adulthood is realizing Boomhauer is superior in every way.

Doesn't he not say anything because Dale is a good father to Joseph? And he doesn't want to fuck that up?

>>85463788
this

He represents the average american, and thats why I hate the show so much: dumb, no aspirations or interests, abusive and afraid of everything he doesnt understand.

IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!!!

Don't forget charcoal is objectively better than propane

>>85463619
I can understand their reasoning for not telling, but they should have kicked the shit out of John Redcorn to make him stay away. Dale was a grown man that wanted attention through pity, they were right not to indulge him.

>>85464221

The situation is a lot less black and white as you think it is. Besides it's none of his business. Alot of people still don't think so but the episode that basically says John Redcorn's punishment is watching an idiot raise his only son and legitimately love him is Dale's ultimate revenge. Peggy is an entirely different story.

Remember that time Hank bought and solicited crack between his friends?

>>85463619
The show addresses this, and Hank isn't a bad guy. He is just flawed like everyone else.

Hank was emotionally abused by his father as a child, he is pretty much autistic when it comes to anything involving real emotion. Hank learned to shut down when he'd see his father abuse his mom. Hank's mind just goes blank. This is why Bobby behaves as though he's been raised by a single mom, Hank is so autistic that he may as well not even be there.

Hank makes an effort to be as good of a man as he can. But he literally can't connect to the people closest to him on any sort of emotional level, and they suffer for it because their best friend (or dad in Bobby's case) is like talking to a wall. His marriage with Peggy works because her narcissistic tendencies mean she doesn't need Hank for emotional support. Just having her thoughts and feelings is enough for Peggy.

>>85465107
>muh parents are the reason im bad at life

Hank was much better at life than his father, he was just messed up in a few ways because of him too.

No, most of the time Hank is the one trying to teach Bobby the lesson, but he has trouble doing it because of how he is shut off because of his dad. Then the episodes always end wit Hank finding a way to overcome and solve the problem.

>>85465318
A few episodes drop hints or show scenes from Hank's childhood, and it's pretty shitty. There is a lot of darkness in the show, it's just usually so funny that it's easy to look past it.

Hank isnt supposed to be a paragon of morality and virtue, he's an everyman, not a hero. The whole show is about different Texas archetypes, not showing the noble man who's always right

>>85464508
Go tell everyone in your life what you really think of them and tell me if you still think this.

One thing we can all agree on: King of the Hill is pure adult cartoon Kino

how does hank live so comfortably as a cashier with a substitute teacher for a wife?

I've never been to Texas but I've been to numerous southern states, I'm just assuming property value and cost of living are dirt cheap (because no one wants to live there)

Bill was still in the army and getting whatever they pay sergeants. Boomhauer was a Texas Ranger, but that was just an asspull for the finale.

>>85466477
being assistant manager at a propane shop pays well enough to own a large home and a truck like he has?

>>85463619
The problem is Hank has high intelligence but barely any emotional intelligence, and that's kind of where a lot of the show's jokes came from.

Also adulthood is idolising Dale desu

That's literally the opposite of Narcissism. Clinical Narcissists have low-self esteem and seek to use & manipulate other people to validate their own worth. Narcissists depend on external gratification for internal emptiness.

>>85466509
Hank's home was probably mortgaged in the 80s and it's a pretty small ranch house in the south. Plus his truck for most of a series is just a Ranger, not like it's a lifted F-350 with truck nuts.

I grew up in KY and for like 30k/year you could live pretty damn comfortably if you didn't live in one of the two cities in the state.

"Bills Were Made to be Broken" is kino

I assume no one told him because he would probably go mental over it. He stock piles guns and enjoys killing. Would it really surprise anyone if he found out he might kill Nancy and Joseph?

theres literally an episode all about this, you jackass

he doesnt do it because dale raises him as a good father, more than redcorn ever could, because it would break their family aprt, and because it would shatter what little remaining trust an unstable guy like dale has to anything in the world

Hank mentioned in Dog Dale Afternoon that he's only president because he owns the most guns.

>>85473271

he's president because he tells the best stories, brings cookies, and helped them out (soldier of misfortune, I think?) when Mad Dog went crazy and held hank, Bill, boomhauer hostage

>>85464508
Yeah have fun telling that truth to a man who has enough guns to arm a small militia, booby traps his own home with arrows to kill home invaders without even letting his family know constantly putting them at risk and even nearly killing his son at one point because of it, diagnosed with dementia by the government, and is so close to the brink of insanity that a simple prank by his friends made him go hide in a tower with a fucking sniper rifle.

>He knew of his best friend was being cheated on for 13 years and said nothing like a coward

Oh yeah he tried to lie he had one after the police came. Sorry I'm retarded. Also gotta love the little continuity nod of Dale asking Bobby to shoot him if there is no other choice because he knows Bobby is an amazing shot.

Dale is literally a midlife crisis

he's always hatching a new scheme or something instead of settling down and focusing on his career and family

>>85465107
This is a very good post. Hank has only a small group of friends he is comfortable with, a fixation on propane and a semi-arbitrary personal code. He has trouble recognizing the advances of his co-worker at first in the Sugarfoots episode. In about half of all episodes, you will get a cut between a few seemingly innocuous things which hank will put together (far after everyone else) to mean that the situation is not what he thinks it is.

He does nearly always overcome these issues though, and usually comes through as a good father to Bobby and Husband to Peggy. He's a good friend too, he literally humiliated himself in front of all of his co-workers and clients to fix Bill's mental problem (even though he had done way more than could be expected of him already).

>>85466281

I'm damn sure theres a flashback where his mother is just playing with minitures while his dad is shooting his pistol in the living room or something equally bad.

He's pretty much assistant manager of that business and Buck knows that he owes most of his success to Hank. I'm sure that he was decently compensated.

My mom used to take me shopping as a kid all the time, she was such a sociopath that she would ask me to go get some milk from the other isle and then once I was out of sight she would run off to the other side of the store, freaking me out thinking my mother had left me. She did that about 200 times as I was growing up, fucked me up irreparably. Never gave any sort of explanation and even when I tried to bring it up as an adult she pretends it never even happened. That's just one of the awful things she did, I got a laundry list.

The show actually makes fun of the hill family for being lower middle class Texans. I have a theory that Hill is short for Hillbilly.

>>85463619
He's a garbage friend because he doesn't consider himself a 'friend' to begin with. He thinks he's above everyone else.

But you know what I wouldn't have it anyway else. At least I know my acquaintances who I regularly have beer with after work all have jobs and they're half-decent neighbors. You really don't need friends, or want them, in life.

Thats not true at all. No one tells Dale because it would destroy him and everything else. Its also exactly what Redcorn wants, he literally wants Dales life. Its also why Hank and the gang never accept him like the do with Dale or even Kahn, because Redcorn is the real loser.

Of course youre never going to convice anyone on this site that Dale raising Jacob is his form of revenge but eh

The show is making a fun of a certain type of American.

>Shouldn't have bought a Japanese leaf blower, it's made for blowing those little bonzai trees.

The show is making fun of hank for being an overly patriotic old fashioned kind of red neck American. I have family members that are similar to him

One time one family member of mine unironically said.

>I hate riding around in that little Daewoo, it's so cramped. It's a small Japanese car designed for carrying around little China men.

He was dead serious too.. people like hank actually exist and that's what the show is making fun of.

>>85479796
It makes fun of them, but it's in a pretty light-hearted way. The show is much more malicious in it's ridicule of liberals, which is honestly one reason I like it so much.

>>85479967
I agree with everything you just said and I am the guy you are replying too.

The episode where the liberal hippies are in town talking about saving the treesbut in the end it turns out they don't even genuinely care or understand the issue is pretty accurate to hippies. Saying they care about the enviroment is just something a lot of hippies do for the fashion of it.
