When do you think King of the Hill went bad?
I say season 7 (2004).
Peggy by that point was completely un-fucking-bearable.
And just a bunch of other shit that just wasn't funny.

obviously not as good as the original couple seasons but it never got to the point of being unwatchable. I'd gladly watch a revival if it ever came out
When that hillbilly who married Luanne showed up. I hated him so much.
Never? It was just different.
Around the end of the series tbqh
I wouldn't.
Matt Groening and Mike Judge have both gone off the deep end with politics and such.
Judge wanted to produce Idiocracy-themed campaign advertisements opposing Donald Trump's presidential campaign if given permission from Fox.
If KotH was brought back, it'd be
Hank talking about how Trump isn't a proper president or baby hands shake
The gang dealing with the Alt-Right
Bobby meeting or dating a tranny
Peggy storyline about illegal immigrants
Also, nothing brought back from 10 years is ever good.
It got bad when the writing just started relying more and more on characters being unbelievably unhelpful assholes.
When did Peggy’s dad show up and Hank thought his crazy talk was “cowboy wisdom”?
I don’t know if that was when the show reached the point of no return like OP is asking, but I’m asking when that episode was, because I just want to know.
Lucky is a gigachad you people just dont understand him
Every time I try to rewatch it I stop during season 5. But I don't think it ever gets to the point that it annoys me.
this post is cringe and blue-pilled
also, why the fuck are you connecting matt groening with koth?
You're not even a fan of the show did you come here just to whine?
A Rover Runs Through It
I do, just not much after 7.
I don't want the show to come back either, especially in this climate.
When every scene ended with a music cue, a small smile, and a fade out.
>in this climate.
user if you support ridiculous things you can't be surprised when people point out that they are ridiculous
This is a bi partisan message, I can already hear you starting to screech about trannies
>Hank talking about how Trump isn't a proper president or baby hands shake
Hank was right all the time in the original series too, what's the problem.
Suck it up buttercup.
I don't think the show went bad at that point but I can't stand that particular episode. Everyone gets away with being unbearable shits to hank and Peggy.
Hank would hate Trump, he's an arrogant, crude New Yorker.
>being so bothered by “the other side’s” politics that you see it in things with absolutely no relevancy to it whatsoever.
Get a hobby, man.
Would Hank hate Bernie by that metric?
I would want to say yes initially, but I could see Hank actually recognizing Sanders as a good guy with more exposure to him.
One thing's for certain though, Peggy would be 100% for Hilldawg.
This just made them more relatable
this. That faggot was unbearable
As posted here several times before, there's no way Hank would support Mr. Well Done and Ketchup.
Noticeable change in tone after the Japanese two parter.
I dunno who Hank would be for but Bill would absolutely be in the tank for Hilldawg.
personally I'd say it never went completely bad, but there definitely were a lot more bad episodes after a certain point and some characters got hit especially bad in later seasons, particularly Peggy, Bobby, Bill, and Connie
But he's a republican
Bernie's a New Yorker but Trump has golden toilet seats and likes steak well done with ketchup
Never went outright bad, but it definitely felt like the most care was put into seasons 2-4. Those seasons had story arcs, with every character having a lot of depth to them (more so than any other adult cartoon, IMO). Still plenty of great episodes in later seasons, but nowhere near as consistent.
Hank is far from blind right allegiance though. He literally wasn't going to vote because Bush sucked at hand shakes.
I'm an Eurofag and absolutely loved this show. While everyone else were talking about The Simpsons or South Park I just wanted to talk about this but everyone said it's "too weird".
I've always imagined that Dale would be the trump supporter.
I didn't think it went bad at all. I know there's moments where they break previous lore and some characters act a bit overbearing sometimes, but I still really enjoyed all 13 seasons.
I'd actually love to see an episode on Hank dealing with Trump. It would be hilarious just for the fact that Trump ticks every box Hank hates. Hank being stuck between a Democrat woman and a Republican who is a New Yorker, crude and sexual, a draft dodger, overcooks his meat and sucks at handshakes. Hank would break down after Trump won the nomination
Yet later on he praised him.
>You know, Bill, America doesn't need to win every dang thing to be great. We've got the Constitution, two George Bushes, great toilets -- hell, we've played golf on the moon.
"Well gee I don't know Hank, I think it's time for a lady to be in the oval office. With her silky blonde hair ..."
Bill would've either supported Hillary because he thought it would get him some women's lib pussy, or would've fully believed in the MAGA rhetoric because he's that dumb.
In fact, the episode's B-plot would be Bill wildly flip-flopping between the two before he gets caught and both groups want nothing to do with him.
I thought it was good throughout honestly. It never got particularly bad even in its weaker episodes.
Is King of the Hill funnier or more relatable to be people from the south?
Kentuckian here. My dad found Hank to be a relatable character on the basis that everyone but Hank is dumb or an asshole and therefore causes all his problems. He also liked Squidbillies for its redneck themes, and had a fat girlfriend who looked like Rusty's mom.
Among boomers, all of the archetypes of Hank and his best friends are extremely accurate.
I can see Bill dating a tranny and being completely oblivious, while everyone else knows and doesn't tell him.
It wasn't a real decline like The Simpsons or Family Guy, it just got more formulaic.
E.g. Hank meets a (insert type of asshole here) and Hank has to put up with them because (???) until they fuck up and Hank saves the day.
I'm not from the South (I'm from Australia) but Hank and the gang's obsession with DIY projects and home maintenance will be very familiar to anyone with a working class boomer Dad.
There are some real bad ones
The show got pretty flanderized towards the end and the hijinks they got up to were somehow too asinine, considering that the good seasons had plotlines like "Hank accidentally goes fishing with crack"
Hank would've been an Evan McMullin voter in 2016, Bill Weld in 2020.
The following is canon
Hank: Trump
Peggy: Hillary
Luanne: Bernie
Lucky: non voter
Cotton: Hillary
Ladybird: Hillary
Bill: Hillary
Dale: Non Voter
Boomhauer: Johnson
Rusty Shackleford: Trump
John Redcorn: Stein
Khan: Trump
Minh: Trump
Strickland: Trump
The best answer has always been this: Watch the show until you're not laughing anymore. Personally, I thought season 8 was when the show was becoming stale and unfunny. It's really one of those "you have to see for yourself" shows
I wouldn't say it ever got bad.
There was definitely a dip in quality towards the end, but I don't think it ever got outright horrible.
Just be glad it ended when it was still decent.
>When do you think King of the Hill went bad?
Never, pleb.
Like season fucking 3 or something, whenever that shop went on fire
>Dale: Non Voter
>Rusty Shackleford: Trump
Kek.
I was about to say that Dale would totally be one of the non-voter conspiracy nuts that is inexplicably drawn to Trump but then I read a few more lines.
>Hank
>endorsing a rich phony from New York
>Cotton: Hillary
>Ladybird: Hillary
wait a minute...

Beavis and Butthead was great when it came back, and that was way more than a ten year gap. I think Mike Judge could do the same for KOTH.
I don't think it ever went bad. But it did drop the quality as soon as they started basically splitting each episode with a subplot.
Judge has always been political and all those plots could work with good writing, and judge and greg daniels always had the talent.
But, I do believe it doesn't really need a comeback. Comedic takes on mundane stuff are everywhere now, kinda loses its purpose.
honestly I've always felt the best way to handle the 2016 election in the context of King of The Hill would be to have it so one of Dale's schemes accidentally results in every vote in Arlen getting thrown out as invalid, also it never gets stated explicitly who each character was going to vote for
LMFAO the absolute salt of trumpfags that everyone with two braincells hates him is great.
I could see it being good. Letterkenny has a similar vibe to KotH but ya know in currentyear and when they take on the alt right that shit was hilarious. I could see an episode where Bobby gets sucked into the redpill bs and Hank goes all "muh boy" and it's likely make fun of liberals being so cringey against the alt right they push young boys toward it. It'd probably end with a moral about don't worry about political correctness or trying to be edgy to counter it. Just be polite to everyone cause it's right not because of politics.
Also imaging some conspiracy pol weirdos meeting Dale and he just out redpills them "you think (them) is the Jews? hehehe novice that's what they want you to think".
He'd vote Trump just in hopes to trigger the establishment and start a revolution. But then he'd never register to vote so he'd try voter fraud and get caught real quick.
He'd be one of those "he'll never win the nomination" republicans and avoid talking politics and get angry when it's all anyone talks about. Strickland would be full protrump the whole way and try to make a profit off it. Then Hank would vote hilldog but lie about voting third party.
Or there's a whole episode everyone trying to get him to say who he voted for and it's revealed he never was able to get to the polls in time and he's ashamed he never did his duty.
