I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. The animation is certainly worse but the characters all act like themselves. The simple fact that this is a reboot where the male lead isn't ritualistically humiliated puts it ahead of most other modern reboots. I love seeing Hank again.

>>149714714 (OP)
I agree. Other downside is Kahn's new VA, but other then that it was entertaining.

So according to the wiki, Hank is 41 in the original series. That makes him only 49 in this new season. Do people still retire that young?

Also in the original run he would have been born in the late 50s, making him a Baby Boomer. But now he would have been born in the mid-70s, making him part of Gen X.

>>149714732
Yeah, Kahn's is the worst. Joseph sounds a little older and less high-strung, but that makes sense. Dale does a good job at trying to replicate the original but it'll never sound quite the same. The rest are pretty minor so it doesn't matter much.

anyone else feel like the comedic timing is way off?

Conni being poly isn't the offensive part to me, its the dating Chane Wassanasong. You're telling me that of all the Fraternities, of all the boys in Dallas, Conni starts fucking the 1 Laotian boy from her middle school she already knew (and hated).

>>149714714 (OP)
Finally, a non-ragebait KotH thread. I agree OP, I enjoyed it a whole lot and though it’s not quite the standard of the early show it’s pretty damn good. I can forgive Dale’s voice because his VA was literally on his deathbed and it’s easy to imagine Dale’s own smoking would have had a similar effect over the years. Kahn’s new VA is pretty bad however.

>>149714904
I did for the first episode, that made me fear a bit for the rest of it but I thought it was more or less instantly fixed in the second. I hope the poor start doesn’t cause too many people to drop it because after that it really picks up.

>>149714782
Doing work in Sowdye Araybiah on oil wells can earn a lot of cash. Retirement early is an option feasibly.

Why did they make joseph a junkie

>>149714782
I feel like they’ve slid the different generations differently. Like the kids have only aged 10 years or so but the adults have aged 20, meaning they’ve only pushed Bobby’s generation’s birthdates forward and not Hank’s.

>>149714817
>Dale does a good job at trying to replicate the original
No way, Dale was terrible. He can't emote at all. I would have preferred they just made a voice that fits the tone of the character rather than poorly imitate the last one. Though, Johnny wasn't sounding too great either in the lines he recorded.

>>149715056
There is no future where Joseph wasn't going to turn into a trashfire of a human being.

>>149715056
Realistically a hard drug addiction was in that kid's future

>>149714714 (OP)
Agreed. It's slow at first, but by the end of its season, it's so great. Even in 2025, Mike Judge still hasn't disappoint me as of yet
>>149714732
Yeah, Kahn's new VA is so off. At least Cleveland's new VA (like it or not) still sounded like the original VA. That's the only huge flaw I have with the new season.

Did anyone notice they used the example from the dos and don'ts of how to draw Peggy on one if the photos on Bill's Barbershop mirror?

>>149714817
Dale sounds more like this guy in the new season.

>>149714965
It's especially weird since Connie doesn't even seem to like him while being in a relationship with him. Also how didn't Bobby know about their relationship when Chane is his boss?

>>149714714 (OP)
Hey, remember that time Peggy and Luanne watched a man who was in the midst of a total psychotic break fall into a mechanized slaughterhouse, get his brain zapped and became lucid just long enough to recognize the fact that he was about to die horribly via a goddam spike thru the skull, and then he did, and they both saw it in all its gory horror, and they just walked away and never told anyone what happened? Do you all remember when that happend?

Because I remember when that happend.

>>149715255
this guy noticed >>149713241

>>149715347
can you blame him? luanne was hot

>>149714965
He did the thing chads do when they wanna fuck feminists: play along. Also, there's billions of retcons in the show so it doesn't really matter that much at this point.

>>149715347
They literally tried to stop it. Why does everyone leave that part out?

>>149715351
Nice.

>nose ring
>side shaved head

Could Bobby save her and turn her into a tradwife?

>>149715679
Yes? Most of these women grow out of it. I dont think alot of dudes on here understand that. Its not a life style alot of people can commit to long term.
>>149715347
Yeah it was funny. Pigman died like his pigs. Thats how id want to go if I was a pigman.

Everyone knows except for Dale and Joseph.

>>149715725
He's a rich kid, of course he wins just by existing.

I dont recall that at all, desu. I do remember a one off joke where Nancy tried to assure Bobby that she's "a better person" after she earlier mentioned that was worried that Bobby figured it out, but it was never established how or when Bobby might have picked up on things. Always thought there was an episode I missed for the longest time

>>149716041

Nope. He always knew. Only Dale, Joseph, and at the start Peggy, didn't.

>>149715839
On a similar note

I like joke in which the Mexican chef tells Bobby Speedy isn't racist he's a hero.

I also can't help but feel that Bobby VA is leaking her personality into Bobby with the Loomey Tunes talk.

Dale should start an Alex Jones-style podcast network. People would absolutely tune in to his conspiracy theories.

>>149714817

I'm seeing some people blaming Dale's voice completely on the new voice actor but the thing is the original voice actor did around the first 6 episodes.

After that it seems his voice actually improves. I assume the original wasn't in very good health before he died.

>>149716325

King of the Hill is very boring. You gotta have like a basic understanding of American values to rewlly enjoy the show.

>>149716073
I remember the quote you mentioned but kind of like other things in S1 I wonder if they scrapped the idea. Seems like Bobby doesn't say anything, which it seems like he would have, when he went crazy with the history of Thanksgiving in that one episode. Joseph makes a lot of references to being white later in the show and Bobby doesn't say anything at all about it.
Genuinely curious if there's more examples.

>>149716948
You rarely see a post that was more clearly typed with tears running down the anon's cheeks.

not really, quite the opposite. as a proud European, it was fun watching KOTH and thinking "are americans really?". And no, it wasn't boring. some of the episodes were better than the others, but I would never call it boring

>>149716974
>it was fun watching KOTH and thinking "are americans really?"
What was the weirdest one you can remember?

I'm honestly surprised at how many people in twitter still believe Jonathan Joss's murder was a hate crime

With so much information available about his extremely violent behavior (such as the time he threatened his ex-wife with a gun and shot at her bed's headboard), as well as him and his tranny boyfriend being pyromaniacs who tried burning their own home multiple times and even recorded those attempts, you'd think people would've realized by now that he was a crazy, violent, derange asshole who deserved getting killed

>>149716325
>No Hank Left Behind (aka the Andrew Tate and panic attack episode)

Reminder that the main writer credited for that episode also wrote for that Indian Velma show. Worst episode of the season but I guess considering who wrote it that it could have been wore.

>>149716933
Politics heads in 2025, regardless of affiliation, are mostly in a "youre for us or against us" mindset, and dont really accept the idea of centrists as a 'real' political stance

NTA and DFWfag, but I can see Hank and his friends being excited about really mundane things as funny and bizarre to non-Americans/Texans.
>>149717011
Woman write was a safe assumption.

>>149716918
Toby Huss sounds more alive but at the end it still sounds more like an impression of dying Johnny Hardwick than Dale's voice in the original run. The fact that he's not well is so obvious I'm a little confused why it took so long for someone to do a wellness check, he was dead for a while when they found him IIRC

>>149717031
>I can see Hank and his friends being excited about really mundane things, especially in the early seasons*

>>149717031
To be fair their excitement over things like building a house in a day isn't that normal. Lawnmowing, beer, sure. The latter can at least be understood in several countries.

Joss was likely the one who started the fight THOUGH
At least all neighbours (and even Joss's ex-wife) agree that he was constantly going around threatening his neighbors while armed

One of them simply snapped (the ex-wife said they'd been arguing for years, and it got worse as Joss became more and more violent due to the drugs).

>>149717110
...yes? it's a perfectly valid reason to kill someone

>>149717099
Yeah. The timeline stuff is a bit funky, since Hank and his friends are all around 49, but they're all retired so it seems like they should be 59. I think initially it was going to be a 20 year timeskip, but they dialed it back to 8 years for whatever reason but didn't really update the writing for that.

>>149717126
Someone being gay isn't a valid reason to kill them, anonathan.
On topic: the disconnect between the family at the start seemed like it was going to be more important but by the second episode Dallas is treated like a short trip from Arlen

>>149717143
>Someone being gay isn't a valid reason to kill them
There's no proof that he was killed due to being gay, that's just something his girlfriend said (and she's lied before, like how she said her house was set on fire by their homophobic neighbors even though Joss himself said it was because they put a barbecue grill inside their home for warmth and forgot to extinguish it before going out for dinner

>>149714714 (OP)
Is this the first time Hank was convinced on something through sex?

>>149717143

Arlen is a fictional town, it can be as far or as close to somewhere as it needs to be for the purpose of plot.

>>149714714 (OP)
Peggy do be looking pretty good this season. The karen cut suits her more than whatever the hell the og lool was.

>>149714904
Yes. The way they wrap up episodes plots feels like it's tied to some invisible timer too, where all the sudden the characters all start acting more amicable than they were previously, instead of naturally reaching that point.

>>149717177
Yeah she went from toad to gilf.

>>149717136
Yeah, im assuming it was the doing of staff from the last season wanting their content to be canon. Like how old was Cotten and Tilly when they had Hank in this new timeline? This Hank was likely born in the mid 70s and likely dated Peggy in the early 90s. Just doesnt sound right. Bobby was born after the start of the series...

>>149717177
I prefer classic Peggy but I can make both work.

reminder that continuity doesn't matter

>>149717231
I dont think the intention was ever that she was designed to be delibritely ugly per se. More that she just has the worst fashion sense on earth. The few times she let her hair down or when she got baptised she looked pretty good.

>>149716325
I would switch 5's score with 6. The shit with Bill was fucking awful more so than the Bobby/Connie stuff from that ep.

>>149717099
>Good Hank falling for the manosphere grift and Hank going along with it was pretty funny.
that and Hank realizing he needs to act as a positive male role model to GH for that boy to be right were great. i'm fairly mixed on the episode overall; the premise and end result of the episode save it for me
>"I called your mom" is kind of a childish gotcha for a KOTH episode
that and the given reasons for why the manosphere attendees may have been disliked by/disliked women (manlet horribly lying about his height on his dating profile, guy spending all of his spare income on swords) were too exaggerated for me to take seriously; if they made those aspects a bit more mundane/relatable then i'd be more down with the episode

>>149717177
>>149717231
The recent B&B season also had deliberately attractive old women.
Maybe Mike is just telling us something.

>>149717276

Even in season 1 Bobby likely let that slip and doesnt elaborate with Joseph about what he meant.

Only 3 episodes in but I'm liking it so far. Was expecting it to be all "Hank is wrong and backwards" but it's pretty in keeping with the original on calling out the stupidity of modern trends. They even managed to do a funny Bush museum bit that felt like it was laughing with, than at.

>>149714904
Gets into its stride quickly but Dale, Khan and Ted all lack the distinct energy they gave the original.

>>149717506
Oh shit that's funny.

>>149717506
what is this? the simpsons?

Just finished the season, and I can safely say yeah it sucks.
All the episodes are so fucking boring it's like they based it off of season 13 as their main inspiration.
The only way to get through this season is from your nostalgia of the OG KOTH and wanting to see your favorite characters again but older. There's like no episode that has any rewatch value. Even the newer and more sterile seasons of KOTH during its original run had some charm to it that made them memorable enough to want to rewatch. This season is so boring, the animation and artstyle is shit, the voice acting took a major hit, the plot lines are only worthwhile for maybe one watch because you have nostalgia for the original series.

>(manlet horribly lying about his height on his dating profile, guy spending all of his spare income on swords) were too exaggerated for me to take seriously
They really did have to make them contrived because frankly the truth "yes it's unattractive and you have to work with that" isn't a nice sounding moral lesson as "stop overtly lying and being financially reckless"

Rather they do whatever with the timeline rather than try and force everything to make sense for the sake of lore and continuity.

>>149714714 (OP)
>reboot
It's not a fucking reboot, it's a continuation/revival. A reboot would have started from the beginning, undoing the entire previous show.

>>149714782
Hank is only younger on a technicality because that's what Fox execs wanted, he was intended to be in his early 40s originally which meant he would have been closer to his mid-40s by show's end. They mention in Kahn-scious Uncoupling in season 14 that Kahn and Minh got married at 21 and are celebrating their 30th anniversary which means they're 51 and presumably the rest of the Rainey St. gang is going to be roughly the same age. Basically after a point, they ignoed the age Fox imposed on them and went back to their original idea of Hank being in his 40s.

But the timeline is off given that GH is Bobby's age from the original series which would otherwise be impossible.

>>149714904
I feel they messed up on business on peggy she feels worse for some reason.

I've always like Joesph well enough but I think the writers knew exactly why people like Joesph. Seeing him be a little Dale Gribble is so charming. Like when Hank and Bobby are competing in the beer brewing thing, both Dale and Joesph both do seperate yet similar plans to rig it in their friend's favour. And during the event they're shouting insults at each other's team—but when the cops come they drop it and it really is just father and son against the world

>>149717276

Love the bro stuff in the show. Need at least 2 episodes next season dedicated to it.

>>149717741
yes, it was written that way by the woman who wrote that episode

>>149717644
Why? What's even the point of a continuation without continuity to anchor it? Could have just been the same cast in 2025 like the Simpsons.

Was I the only one that found it weird that kahn got fucked so hard in the reboot? And they did a similar divorce concept in TAWOG with the "asian" parents. It's just kind of weird both times the asian mom was happier, when she was also responsible for the kids fucked up upbringing.

In fact kahn was honestly better than minh at times. He really came from nothing and worked his ass off to give kahn a better life. I kind of loved them together as they were the fun asshole couple no toxicity just love being haters.

>Should have stayed a redneck

Everyone is talking about the message of the Incel episode but no one is talking about how Diedrich Bader plays the Tate character and his voice seems absolutely gone :(

>>149717708
>Joeseph's little roll into a trash bag when they're caught

>>149717615
I think that was my favorite joke this season

>>149717775
my theory is that his character got fucked because the industry fucked his original voice actor

>>149717775
Ive been saying that. Kahn got royally fucked. Its actually heartbreaking the fully integrated immigrant character got fucked over probably harder than anyone else. I can only assume its because of the voice actor shit going on and the writers just fucking hating the voice change to the point they ruin the character on purpose. Bobby and his cotten picker even talk about a similar thing and make fun of the concept. There was clearly a disconnect between writers and the voice casting department.

>>149717775
it's always the men who walk away from the divorce. we can take it, we're MEN.

>>149717802
Yeah the grandson of a Nazi being offended over Japanese German fusion food is funny as hell. Honestly how did Bobby end up with that combo? Was it because of Cotten? He was always talking about Japanese and Nazis. Probably stuck with the boy.

>>149717775
>kahn was honestly better than minh at times. He really came from nothing and worked his ass off to give kahn a better life
kek, sorry anon but that slip-up is funny as fuck, I can actually imagine him saying something like that.

>>149717798
dude I was gonna webm it but my capture seems to be off for some reason so I just screenshot instead. I'll webm it later though because I loved it too. It's something Dale would somehow be able to do. Probably taught it to Joesph when he was a kid ("here son, when you're small you can do it with food waste bags but they're not as opaque.")

>>149717832
Not exactly the best message to send out to foreigners wanting to assimilate into american society. Kek this is how we end up with faggots like Ted.

>>149717855
A lot of Germans settled in Texas so there is a fair bit of German and German derivative foods in Texas. We have multiple beerhauses in Houston with German food and some Texan ones, like jalapeño cheddar sausage. Japanese is honestly the cool, fancy food

>>149717855
>add some pasta to the menu and its a full blown Axis Powers restaurant
Cotton's doing full on somersaults in Hell, mark my words

>>149717616
They’re bitching about what they were forced to do anon.

>>149717855
A lot of early Texas' immigrant population had roots in Germany

Yeah, it's fine. Laughs came often in the first episode or two and then started diminishing. Compared to other recent reboots/revivals, this was good. They weren't standout episodes that I'd specifically choose to watch again, but I probably wouldn't mind it at some point in the future.

one thing I didn't like is they didn't tell why they got divorced and are saving the resolution for a future episode, if that happens.

>>149717832
At the same time, Khan was always an incredibly mean asshole to everyone. Forget the episode, but Khan gets fired for taking Hank to a top secret facility simply to show off how cool some metal was that the company he did IT for was developing, Hank tells other people, it's top secret so Khan is fired after determining that he was the leak, and Mihn says it has happened multiple times. He's insanely strict with Conney too. So in some regard, he's getting his comeuppance.

>>149717775
The new season just has that typical modern writing style of hating men and shitting on them. Of course Minh divorces Kahn, forces him to live in the basement, and then he has to live with Bill. It's no deeper than just having modern writers, even Mike Judge seems to have lost the vibe of the show with shit like "HAVE YOU BEEN A VICTIM OF MICROAGRESSION" billboard ads that feel like a New Norm joke over KoTH. No one brought their A-game for this.

>>149717968
The leaks confirm a second season is being worked on

>>149716918
>>149717038
https://x.com/sftsquil/status/1952444471116693900
Toby's Dale sounds less like a dying Dale and more like a proper 50 year old Dale

>>149717775
I think Kahn will get slightly more focus in Season 15. I think the whole leak about Kahn and Bill being room mates is very likely one of the on-going plots going on in Season 15 since all the leaks seem like they were more about 15 than 14.

>>149717615
Not for nothing but wasn’t their an entire episode that was about realizing that Cotton only fought in the pacific and never made it over to Europe?

>>149717985
also the diversity designs suck. seriously.

>Buck comes back to shit on Hank,be mean, ruin a business venture and walk away
I hate him

>>149717945
>Cotton beats the Japs and Nazis
>Bobby beats them again by taking their food and making money from it
I dunno, Cotton might be proud.

>>149717969
Everyone in the show have done some terrible shit. Like why does Dale of all people get a happy ending? Fuck that dude. Didn't even sleep in the same bed as his wife for years. Joseph also turned out to be a weirdo that needed guidance from others outside out Dale. Dale didnt even teach the kid to ride a bike. Kahn atleast pushes Kahn Jr with a purpose. And sure he has an ego and fucks up but losing his whole family is just awful.

>>149717985
>>149718026
They look like the recolored background assets.

>>149717985
little bitch can't take it haha

>>149717775
I think it's weird that Kahn lost but Ted didn't, when the show always made Kahn seem like the lesser of two evils.

God fucking dammit I'm so tired of "Bill is shameful and Pathetic" stories. Couldn't it really not just have been Bill has a bunch of black friends which itself is funny. But noooo he had to also be slandering Hank and lying about his life

We already had 13 seasons of "Bill seems to be doing something good, nvm he's just depressed and embarassing lol lesson learned". I'm not saying change his whole character but does every joke and episode about him have to be so one note? It'd be like if Dale's plots were all about Nancy cheating on him and how oblivious he was.

>>149718040
>t. Kahn

>>149718066
"little bitches" wrote this season, anon

>>149718086
This is in character for Bill. He just sucks.

>>149718028
Sadly no effort was made to make any of the characters more likeable, a lot of them have gotten worse. I was a fool to think Judge would take all that time away to reflect on things and come back with new energy, trying to get them back on track and making them a little nicer. Hell he even made me hate Connie.

>>149718086
And all of that just to end on Peggy getting to feel put on a pedestal by hearing him worship her to a crowd of people.

>>149717898

>Excellent, Joseph! Age hasn't slowed you down one bit!

>>149718165
He did for the first episode and it was commonly agreed its one of the worst of the set. I still hate that emotional tumblr ass ending of the fucking Somoa cookies thing. I don't even think that's why the name was changed but whatever.

>>149718123
somehow he managed to tie it mid-roll

>>149717948
They weren’t forced to do anything, anon. They made a conscious choice

>>149714714 (OP)
I really like this season. I had doubts when i heard about the revival and with the first trailer, but not anymore. Its not perfect, but its really nice. 8/10

>>149718372
retard

>peggy has scar tissue from bobby's cunt punt
i appreciate the small jokes

>>149717567
Original run had some Simpsons-tier jokes, good and bad.

I was starting to like Willow. She was pretty cool but the writers obviously want Connie and Bobby together. Such a shame because Connie is a stuck-up know it all.

>>149718086
So Bill isn't in the army anymore?

>>149718751
Willow is barely tolerable.

>>149714965
They wanted to have Connie date a scumbag boyfriend to make Bobby look better in comparison and Chane was right there. I agree they didn't need to use Chane and quite frankly Bobby didn't need the trope to make him look good.

I can't imagine any scenario where Connie would date someone like Chane and not make her seem like an idiot. He was just a poorly thought out plot device designed to intentionally piss off fans and little else.

>>149718769
She remins me of a vegan/spiritual Luanne.

>>149718783
>comparing that to luanne
anon, i dont know who you are, but i hate you

>>149718758
Considering he became a hermit shut in after Hank left, I'd think not.

>>149718751
they got rid of her to quickly

>>149715056
This scene was implying Joseph has ADHD which is treated with adderall. Which makes sense considering Joseph was shown being a borderline autist in the original run.

>>149718758
Bill mentions that he was forced to retire.

>Bobby's story balances his work life and personal life a thousand times worse than Hank's
>bobby talking about the restaraunt all the time is boring, and his personal life sucks because it's just about dealing with modern Connie
shame. i honestly loved some of the stories of hank doing his job and bobby/connie eps in the original run

>>149715080
I don't know, he seems fine. He's a wagie but he seems like he's doing ok otherwise. Then again it seems like he's basically being supported by Bobby. Bobby probably owns that apartment and everything in it.

>>149718898
>any 21yo without rich parents owning an apartment in a major city in current year
He's a chef, not a crypto millionaire.

>>149715080
Pretty sure that one thread with the background art leaks showed Joseph with his own place. But maybe it was just the Bobby/Joseph living room and I'm forgetting.

>>149718889
Bobby is working his ass off at 21, so by the time he is 30 that he could possibly fully buy out Ted and become the full owner. It's quite respectable, but it obviously doesn't lead to a good work/life balance.
>>149718898
They have a landlord who told them to get rid of the horse so they are just renting. Bobby also mentions that he gets paid the same as Emilo because he took a salary hit in order to become a 15% owner of the restaurant so his pay probably isn't all that great.

>>149714714 (OP)
Dale took an episode to get used to the new voice, but once he was doing the tour episode it was fine.

>>149718772
I don’t really get why they need to pair them together. They went out in middle school, why would he pine over her? It made more sense to let Bobby play the field longer before they realized their feelings if that’s really the direction they want to go

>>149716666
The reason for that is because the one thing people take the mkst offense with Speedy, his accent, isn't a thing in spanish. Can't be a thing really. Most of the other stereotypes they use also weren't widely known in Mexico at the time. So when they brought over Speedy the accent and other offensive stereotypes just flew over most Mexicans heads. To them it was a simple Tom & Jerry clone but with more personality and a more overt good guy vs bad guy themes

>>149717775
It's pretty obvious they originally wanted to just write Kahn out of the show hence his total absence in the first episodes despite apparently still living there. They backpeddled and did a did the racist recast thing so probably see more of him next season. Anyway yes they did him dirty.

>>149718889
I wish Bobby's plots were more episodic instead of a season-long subplot. Makes to be less rewatchable as standalone episodes. Coulda been consolidated to fewer episodes like the original run.

>>149718751
I hope next season ditches the Connie and Bobby shit and he just get a normal long term gf he met as an adult like a normal person

>>149718958
Emilio is his sou chef so Emilio probably gets paid pretty decently. A lot more than a road worker at least. So i still maintain that Bobby is probably still the one paying for most of the rent and their expenses.

Also Bobby seems the type to pay his workers better than average. It would explain why they all seem to really like him. So Emilio is probably doing better than most in his position.

>>149719165
According to the leaks that's not gonna happen. The Connie and Bobby dating subplot is gonna stick around for a while

>>149719165
I doubt it will since the leaked story board shows them sleeping together at the Hill's house for some reason. This season also ends with them seemingly back together and with Bobby wanting to get to know the "Adult" Connie instead of just the "Kid" Connie he still had in his head.

>>149717402
it was to cartoony
like seriously, a horse? bobby gets tricked into taking a horse?
this is also the same episdoe where boomhaurer convinces soccer players to turn the game into football wrestling
its stupid

>>149715874
I thought one of the lost episodes from the original series was Dale finally finding out about John Redcorn and Nancy? Speaking of which will they ever release them?

>>149717775
with hank gone there was nothing connecting him to the rest of the neighborhood
he ends up getting into the country club but probably only through being even more of a suck up to ted which strained his marriage leading to their divorce

>>149718372
Episode 3 seemed to pretty strongly imply that the racial recasts were due to corporate meddling.

>>149719232
I agree, the football one having the kids wrestling to triumpant music was too far for me. I think having Bobby humbled at times though works wonders when he's being quite the success in all aspects. And a bit of cartooniness is fine here and there with how sober these plots are this season

And, and I don't much like john redcorn, it provided a really nice moment for him that wasn't TOO nice, you know what I mean

>>149718783
She's nothing like Luanne

>Willow is actually a qt tomboy too
She's won me over. I was expecting a "bobby has an annoying gf" plot again but it's actually "my dad likes me gf more than me" which is way better. Connie can fucking jump of a cliff, I'm on team Willow

>>149719315
>she's taking a SHIT on someone's desk
Okay... I'm back on the fence. This has to be the most rapid character assassination I've ever witnessed

>>149719229
>bobby gets connie after she's done fucking the whole state
at least cuck humiliation rituals aren't new in the series

>>149719351
>someone's desk
Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys

Okay, I know that there's been a lot of talk about Connie being a slut now and I'm just on the 8th episode, but is the whole "open relationship" thing basically a farce for her?

She's only in a relationship with Chang to make her parents happy because he's rich. She hasn't yet been shown to actually have taken advantage of the open relationship, while Chang definitely has. So I'm not convinced she's slept with Chang or anyone else for that matter. She says Bobby isn't "ENM" material, but later admits in a note that she meant he's marriage material.

>>149719351
Well, she did it for her father, but I wish the writers had made her do something less grotesque like trash his office.

>>149719391
Episode 8:The end of the episode when Connie breaks up with Chane very strongly implies they've had sex

>>149714714 (OP)
Willow >>>>> cuntie
Change my mind

>>149719391
I do think the entire thing was just a way to cope with the fact that Chane was fucking around pretty much non-stop and the EMN stuff was a way to turn it into "Well. He's at least not cheating on me."
She did likely have sex with Chane, because it would be way too unrealistic if she didn't.
Episode 8 also showed she didn't want to become like Minh who got married at 21 and whose marriage ultimately fell apart, so she's probably scared of being truly committed.

>>149719450
>>149719415
wtf, his name has been Chane this whole time??

>>149719391
I think you are mostly correct in your assessment, Anon. A lot of people just like taking shit out of context and turning it into outrage bait. The ENM stuff is absolutely just cope from Connie's POV and while a lot of people are saying Connie's note was stupid and basically saying Bobby was the kind of guy to settle down with after fucking around, I took it more as a kind of cry for help on her part that if Bobby was really interested in a serious relationship she'd dump Chane and quit the ENM shit.

>>149719391
I thought she was reintroduced after having being out slutting at the frat

>>149719466
Yes.

>>149719391
Pretty much. Seems like she doesn't want to be in a relationship at all and this is some sort of compromise to keep up the appearance of a relationship without any of the usual baggage. It basically just an open relationship with a modern liberal label. They're both obviously doing it to keep their parents off their backs. Especially Chane.

>She's only in a relationship with Chang to make her parents happy because he's rich.
Specifically because he's Ted Wassanasongs son

>>149719391
It's Connie dealing with Chang being an absolute douche and letting her have a no hassle relationship that her parents like.

>>149719550
I feel like they made The Wassanasongs way more rich than it was initially implied in the OG series. Yeah. They were implied to very well off, but Ted states that the entire funding of the Restaurant just comes of a percentage of what Chane has for his recreation budget.
I wonder if they are ever going to give a flashback episode for why Chane decided to convince his dad to give Bobby the money.

>>149717476
Chane is obviously still a douche though? Almost every time we see him he asks if people know who his dad is.
>>149718985
Just have it be a random new character is what im saying

>Hank canonically didn't vote for Obama
Interesting

>>149719550
>It basically just an open relationship with a modern liberal label
It becomes especially obvious that they're just dressing up that Connie is a cuckquean with progressive terms during the actual breakup, when she's upset that Chane is just going to leave the failed anniversary party when she needs some support and he starts bullshitting about how her dumping emotional labor on him is making him feel unsafe and blahblahblah

>>149719665
Did anyone legitimately believe otherwise?

>>149719415
Maybe, it’s still not clear. Chane says “we can still meet up later to have sex if you want”, which could mean they already have but also, it’s Chane, so he’d tell any girl that he’d have sex with them.

Connie seems to be fairly disgusted by Chane in general. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but it’s hard for me to imagine her giving her first time to some douchebag.

>>149719665
Did you ever imagine he would? He's a Reagan/Bush republican, he surely would have preferred McCain or Romney over Obama. I can only see him writing in Jeb from 2016-2024 though.

>>149719623
Ted was always implied to be geniunely good with money and making investments. You can make a a reasonable assumption that he just kept making more money over the years

>>149715028
Does it seem like Hank to retire early? He fucking loves his job even though Strictland doesn't appreciate him as much as he deserves.

>>149719665
>voting for a filthy Hawaiian

how did dale push hank into his van dale is weak

>threads made me think Connie was a polyamorous slut
>it turns out that she’s in a fake relationship and is the one getting cucked, with the non-monogamy thing being nothing but a cope

Could she still be best girl?

>>149719719
>"Please clap"
>Hank is the only one in the room who does it completely without irony

>>149719391
I did have a friend once who when his girlfriend tried to break up with him, his last ditch effort to try and convince her not to was to open up their relationship. Which was the exact situation you're describing where he just sat at home or worked while his girlfriend left the house to fuck guys.

>>149719763
>Could she still be best girl?
Never was. She cheated on Bobby twice when they were a couple in the original run.

Why is Bobby settling for Chane's used goods?

>>149719391
Here’s the series of events that mak
>she starts a relationship with Chane to make her parents happy
>he immediately wants to have sex
>she doesn’t want to because he’s a douche and she still lives Bobby
>in order to keep Chane from breaking up with her on the spot, she suggests they be in an “open relationship” (something she learned about from her shitty liberal college) where they both (really just Chane) can go around and sleep with whoever they want

>>149719391
Here’s the series of events that make the most sense:
>she starts a relationship with Chane to make her parents happy
>he immediately wants to have sex
>she doesn’t want to because he’s a douche and she still lives Bobby
>in order to keep Chane from breaking up with her on the spot, she suggests they be in an “open relationship” (something she learned about from her shitty liberal college) where they both (really just Chane) can go around and sleep with whoever they want

>>149719315
this tomboy shit has gone too far

>>149719391
>that immediate slut-shaming defense towards bobby
she's fucked, dude

>>149719870
The slut-shaming defense is a cope just like the “ENM” is a cope. She knows it makes her look like a slut. Even Bobby’s girlfriend knew it makes her look like a slut. She’s using progressive ideology as a shield.

>>149718123
So this is the power of the Gribble clan...

man the last episode i watched had peggy succeed in not only making hank feel bad for simply correcting her self-aggrandizing lie, but now encouraging her to continue doing it and that he's now turned on to lie about how perfect she is and inflate her ego. people used to say peggy was a fine character because everyone in-show knew she was retarded despite rarely calling her out on it but now hanks' literally horny at the idea of making peggy MORE conceited.

>>149720100
Was a good ending. Hard to pick a fav so far.

>>149720109
Peggy also decided to sell after thinking about what Hank told her and realizing he was right.

>>149714714 (OP)
I'm surprised how much I actually liked Brian and how he didn't feel shoe horned in. Or maybe I just really like Keith David

>>149720137
Keith David was pretty much the perfect choice for this

>>149720100
I don't want to hear KoTH characters say brainrot shit like cuck, incel and betamale.

>>149720129
They undo a good lesson at the end. She corrects herself and speaks honestly, then Hank makes up a lie about how perfect she was and that her telling the truth was actually just her being really modest, then that it makes him feel dirty in a good way, and it fucking ends as if it's a heartwarming thing that Peggy's ego has now been inflated a thousand times more.

>Cotton gave birth to 2 onions-boys

>>149720173
Does Cotton actually use that phrase (not the wordfilter version but the actual phrase) in his flashback?

>>149720171
>They undo a good lesson at the end.

My bad, I just re-read your original post at >>149720109 and realized you said:
>the last episode i watched
I completely misread that as "the last episode" so I was talking about episode 10 while you are clearly talking about episode 8 which was the last one you watched.

>>149715056
Thats just how native americans are

>>149720205
Yes and no. It's GH saying it, but Hank starts transitioning into a flashback that starts with Cotton overlaid on top of GH saying verbatim what GH is saying until it goes into full flashback mode.

He’s 13 and it’s 2025. It would be weird if he weren’t using zoomer slang.

>>149720271
I ain't talkin bout no injuns. I said Native AMERICANS.

>>149720137
Probably because the show doesn’t act like he’s a fifth member of the alley gang and his screen time is pretty limited. He doesn’t even get a subplot about him.

>>149720272
its almost like this show shouldn't have came back since it meant shit like this

>>149720325
That’s a dumb reason for a show not to come back. References to the modern world aren’t inherently bad just because The Simpsons sucks at it.

Anon you've literally become the bad end for Hank...

>>149720392
> >for years people kept saying if the show ever came back, it'd suck specifically because it'd have to warp around modern social commentary and zoomer shit

And they were wrong. Modern social commentary is not inherently a bad thing and never has been. It’s all in how you do it. Now, if people were worried that the modern social commentary would be done poorly, that’s a legitimate concern, and one that I had myself, but watching this season has assuaged my fears. Much of the season is mocking modern culture, not shaming Hank for not conforming to it.

>>149720447
Yes, season 15 is 100% confirmed, but probably won't be out for a few months

>>149716245

At least half the time he's the only sane man who's having to deal with dumb bullshit from "the changing world"

That bit about the samoan cookies was wrong. Apparently they always had two names it depended on whoever the main supplies is.
Also, I found weird that they mentioned Epstein. Not something you would expect nowadays.

>>149720137
He basically has no actual character or purpose which if anything makes him more of a token black guy

>>149720100
this shouldn't have been Good Hank

>>149720665
Why not? He’s young and grew up with no father figure in his life, so if anyone was going to start following Andrew Tate, it would be him.

Didn't realize they hated his va, or do you mean the whole "it's racist if you aren't the right voice?"
>>149717832
Yeah really Kahn wasn't a good guy but he was a good guy ya know. He was a pretty relatable guy I always kind of related to his try your best eps and everyone look down on you. But then this new season basically says actually even your wife and daughter will abandon you too. Literally minh was born in wealth and kahn had nothing and he found a way to make something and both the women in his life hate him for it.

Kahn is a tragedy
>>149717846
True, and sad especially since kahn actually was the only one working in that family and now he's living in the garage in his retirement. Honestly makes me wonder whenever I see super old dudes still working if that's why, they lost their retirement/pension to their wives.
>>149717858
I'm a fuck up, but still he is a good fella
>>149717985
Really knew it wouldn't be great but honestly only part I liked was hard working bobby and hank and peggy being out of touch.
>>149718012
I hope so dude deserves a win, I'd hate if he just became bill.
>>149718067
Yeah ted and chane are the only real winners,

>Ted is still rich and head of country club
>Chane the bully gets to own a restaraunt and make bobby work there
>Chane gets goof off as bobby does all the hard work
>Ted is still a dick to kahn and minh
>Chane gets to bang connie and cheat on her

Literally the whole season felt like a bad end at times, reminds me of the "mr quarters" basically bobby is chane's work monkey and Kahn's hard work was still meaningless as his daughter wasn't good enough for the rich guy and she's a whore and his wife left him.
>>149719127
Idk why kahn is one of the funniest of the secondary side characters. He's so fun but now he was just sad
>>149719262
I see this but dude they'd been married for 28 years connie is 21,6 yrs of the worse why leave at best.those were hellish struggling to get out of laos and becoming citizens.

>>149720691

>>149720792

Definitely down to him being an asian stereotype and wanting to avoid recasting just like Apu in the Simpsons

>>149716770
>Dale should start an Alex Jones-style podcast network. People would absolutely tune in to his conspiracy theories.

RIP

>>149714714 (OP)
Dale's voice is atrocious.
Peggy is treated way more rudely and is just as oblivious about it.
Bobby isn't as respectful as he should be to Hank, I know he's technically an adult, but I feel like I wasn't nearly like that with my parents until I was almost 30.
The more adult nature of the show in terms of cursing, joking about killing oneself, etc is unnecessary in my opinion.
Bill being a shut in should've been a gradual thing over the episode instead of just leaving the house because Hank was cooking burgers, something that Bill undoubtedly ate hundreds of times while Hank was gone.
I haven't gotten to Kahn yet, I'll withhold judgement until I hear it.

>>149715074
I would've preferred if they used an AI filter or something to make the closest Dale impersonator they could get sound nire like Dale, instead of whatever we actually got.

how do they mention Lady Bird's passing? does she have an urn in the living room or something?

>>149720271
His Dad went on a vision quest, he's Native American.

>>149720893
there's a lot of shit they just don't acknowledge as if they dont care, waiting to touch on it another day. that's one of them. thankfully hank gets a cute little chihuaua or something with a narrow urethra later.

John Redcorn has like 1 minute of recorded lines the entire season. I wonder if Jonathan Joss had become too deranged to work with so they had him do the bare minimum.

You were staring at her cleavage the whole episode, weren’t you?

I was.

>>149720998
Forgot pic.

>>149720971
I mean it was only 8 episodes and theres alot of characters. John Redcorn just doesnt have alot to do anymore in his old age. Kinda wish he was written off as a famous musician thats touring the world or something so he can atleast have a happy ending. They could even integrate Lucky i to it. Big Mountain Fudge Cake 4 LIFE

Kinoooo

I had pretty low expectations of this new season.
I am happy to be wrong and that a revival actually seems to be hitting more than missing. I've seen so many revivals that just missed the mark entirely that I had convinced myself the concept itself just isn't feasible.

>>149717616
I get the impression that was basically imposed on them. They didn't really have a choice despite whatever public statements they made.

>>149717435
>tried to stay in the 90s
Still hsving only a GBC was just a reality for low-earning families in 2004. I speak from personal experience.

Say thank you.

>>149721132
you have no culture, whitey

>>149715679
No, she's a nice girl who just hates boundaries and Jerry Jones. She was a keeper.

>>149715884
I feel the opposite. The back half of the season when it starts to focus on Bobby and Connie is when it really hits its stride and the weakest episode is the one with absolutely none of it (the Andrew Tate episode).

>>149718817
I think the best thing would be to have her show back up and start dating Joseph. They'd probably make a really fun couple. Just say that she and Bobby remained friends or something.

>>149720792
>Chane the bully gets to own a restaraunt and make bobby work there

This isn't true you disingenuous fuck. Ted is the only one that has any say in the restaurant. Chane rarely shows up there and is happy to let Bobby do all the work and only ever delivers direct orders from his dad. Bobby only ever worries about getting on Ted Wassanasongs bad side and never Chanes probably because Chane actually likes that Bobby is good at his job because that keeps his dad off his back. Chane has a geniune interst in seeing the restaurant succeed

Chane is a douche but he's not a bully. At least not anymore

>>149720863
Are you 60? Because this sounds like a list of stuff a 60 year old would complain is wrong with the today's youth.

Joseph was hilarious this season. I thought from the trailer that he’d learn that John is his father and reconnect with his heritage or some bullshit but nope, he’s a complete dipshit and is taking after Dale in more and more ways.

>>149715679
>>149716245
I was actually sad to see their relationship evaporate so quickly. Watching her really get into football with Hank was nice and she did well to bring him and Bobby together. They threw it away for a cartoonish gag.

>>149721215
Also his VA does the best job of any of the replacements.

>>149720893
>>149720919
There's going to be an episode about that next season when the Hille get a new dog. Further spoiler it's a fucked up looking chihuahua mutt that Hank slowly warms up to

>>149715316
I really hope the new season brings back more of the older characters. How the hell do you not have Clark, Dooley, Emily and the like pop up for quick gags?

>>149721109
>Still
How would he even have one? Bobby was born in 2004. So he was 13 in 2017. Hank would have had to go out of his way to get him the Gameboy. Would have been cheaper to get him a used DS.

>>149721183
Yeah, when Bobby talks Chane up to Connie, it does feel genuine. Hank and Bobby are both weirdly sensitive and understanding of the shit Asian men go through, and their cultural norms in general.

>>149721319
I'm glad they didn't frontload us with Bobby characters. But I do want to see more of Emilio.

https://poal.me/ofbswi

>>149717181
on top of that, the way hank approaches the cookie stand is a bit over the top, like he wanted to flip the table over
but i think what it wanted to show was that even though everything has changed, the people are the same. too bad that's not actually true in real life haha

>>149721215
I like how he seems to be exclusively into milfs. I was worried for a brief second that when Bobby mentioned his complicated relationship with women that they were gonna make him gay or something. Nope, he just wants to bang older widows and milfs. Aaand I just realized that he's probably gonna bang Mihn.

>>149721215

>>149714965
here, i'll explain her motivations to you in a simple way: she's a woman

>>149721358
I don't think it's really even a question. I wouldn't be shocked if the series finale is them getting married or something. Peggy already treats Connie like a daughter in law and I believe Hank just nodded his head when Bobby said he had to break up with Willow because he was still in love with Connie.

>>149717076
They then proceed to forget about it the following month.

>>149721358
After actually watching this season and learning that Connie hadn’t become a whore after all, I’m going to say yes.

The whole “will they won’t they” of the original series was mostly due to them being so young. As adults, I can see them maintaining their relationship.

>>149714714 (OP)
>>149720792
>relaxing show with a nice atmosphere is rebooted
>the atmosphere is now just "the 2020s" and even the characters are lifeless
im sure glad they brought back the show so hank could reference people getting cancelled, not wanting to be a nepo baby, be delighted that they changed the name of cookies because it's "being nice", connie to talk about nonmonogamy, call backs to coronavirus, a divorce arc where the hard working husband is kicked to the curb, and a bunch of incels learn it's their fault women hate them while good hank cries about cuckitude, and a retarded girl shits on a desk (but she's fuckin CUTE THO?! tomboys4lyfe!)

this might be the most disappointing apologism i've ever seen. i thought people cherished king of the hill a bit more than this but everyone's willing to just let this crap happen to anything.

>>149721132
>Wanted to box white people out of voice acting roles

It's cartoony but the absurdity of it and Stephen Root's performance makes it hilarious. I love the slick asshole characters like Buck, Lane Pratley and THATHERTON and Bronco Barry fit right in with them.

>>149721375
Dale really didnt deserve this life. He's a piece of shit to his wife and kis. Its sad Kahn lost everything but Dale didnt.

>>149721421
They even got Phil Lamarr to voice the Japanese guy.

>>149721430
Get off the internet, John.

>>149721419

What was her name, anon?

>t.picrel

>>149719232
>this is also the same episdoe where boomhaurer convinces soccer players to turn the game into football wrestling
I didn't understand this ending at all. Boom was one referee/coach on his side, how did he change the game into something entirely different? It doesn't even make sense as a funny ending, that's not how competitions work. Like from the bare minimum of writing a story, it was stupid and felt lazy. Shit just happens randomly for the sake of a gag.

>>149721504
Texas don't care about soccer so as long as the kids are running around it's fine.

>>149721504
>Boom was one referee/coach on his side, how did he change the game into something entirely different? It doesn't even make sense as a funny ending, that's not how competitions work. Like from the bare minimum of writing a story, it was stupid and felt lazy.

Read this in Hank’s voice.

>>149721543
was it weird to anyone else when hank used the words "a fictionalized version of you"
i felt like there were a bunch of times i could tell fanfiction writers were on the show now. hank wrote a novel? what

>>149721568
>hank wrote a novel
Yeah, THAT was fucking weird to learn

>>149720863
>joking about killing oneself

>>149719127
Yeah, the fact he's only in one episode compared to Minh, the entirety of episode 3 and especially the Speedy/Mel Blanc bit, it's obvious they weren't happy about having to recast Huss and probably knew Chieng sucked so made it a point to use Kahn as little as possible.

>>149717945
>Gyegh, what the!? Bobby, I didn't gut all them Tojos and Nazees with bayonets made from Admiral Yammymoto's shinbones just so you could go around makin' Axis pie!

>>149718769
>Willow is barely tolerable.
How so? I really want to know. Don't get me wrong, the surface-level shit (haircut, veganism) was cringe, but she really was down-to-earth and friendly, stuck it Connie for being a slut, and even got along with Hank over football.

>>149721612
i feel like people already thought this was a wild deviation from hank's usual behavior. something you're likely to see with different writers and hundreds of episodes. but it happened like 3 times in these 10 with peggy openly saying "kill myself" and nancy chiming in, and then hank talking about roping

>>149721322
The screenshot in question was from an episode that aired in 2004.

>>149721568
It's insane that Hank just let the Bill thing happen. He fought like hell to try and save his reputation during the flood.

>>149721634
Takes place in the future

>>149720710
I had the feeling that the ethnical non monogomy bullshit was just some intellectual rigamarole to avoid being a labeled as a promiscuous woman. Her character gave off "Im so smart I'm above the basic definition of a relationship and a person like Bobby would never reach my level", which pissed me off. Essentially it's just friends with benefits but with a layer of lying to keep up appearances of being in a relationship.

The highlight was the note she sent saying Bobby was more marriage material than someone to be in "that type of relationship" with.

>>149721504
>>149721535
Pretty much. In the original series, they had a soccer episode where an opposing player stopped and casually dribbled the ball in front of Bobby, giving him the chance to steal it from him.

>>149721358

These four are suddenly (real) women.

What happens?

>>149721698

>>149719450
Lol this is why so many men are into cuck shit, "so at least they don't get cheated on"

>>149721621
>she really was down-to-earth and friendly
You can't push how great it is that she has no boundaries about pulling bobby over the dinner table to make out with him and suddenly inviting herself to the game, and also call her down to earth and friendly. You even point out she called out Connie for how dumb ENM is, and while that's what the show desperately needed, her quickly inserting into someone else's conversation with their friend saying shit like "she just wants side dick" "yeah, they only do it to get side dick" is also not friendly at all. You guys are way too lost in your own desires. The character sucked outside of like 5 seconds where she had a normal conversation with Bobby and another 10 seconds where she was interacting with Hank about the sport. Even Nancy can have good moments but she's still an awful person.

>>149721183
Chane pulls rank on Bobby reminding him that his dad can fire him

>>149719505
This is a low key South Park Token/ Tolkien thing

>>149721636
Everyone at the school during the flood episode were his neighbors and people he would regularly run into, people who knew him. The Black people at the barbershop were complete strangers he'd probably never meet again. Why would Hank care? Plus he was probably just happy Bill was leaving the house again.

>>149721363
>I like how he seems to be exclusively into milfs
He's not. He tried to fuck Connie. He's just bad with women and goes after widows because they're easier for his autistic ass to land.

>>149721776
>The Black people at the barbershop were complete strangers he'd probably never meet again.
They visited Bill's house, and they were also friends with Brian. They were people Hank could potentially be associating with in the future.

>>149721753
His name was Chane in the original run as well. "Chang" isn't a Laotian name

>>149719450
>I do think the entire thing was just a way to cope with the fact that Chane was fucking around pretty much non-sto
Definitely not. It was so she could have her cake and eat it too. Give a guy she doesn't like a chance to make her parents happy but not have to actually commit to him. It's no wonder she immediately jumped to Bobby and explicitly said she would never want to have ENM with him--she actually likes him.

>>149721736
>reminding him that his dad can fire him
That's right. Ted can fire him. Not Chane. Chane has to use his dad's name to have any real authority over anyone which just shows how little Bobby or anyone takes him seriously.

>>149721728
This show has always sucked with female characters, before the original run ended they even casually tossed out the implication that Minh has cheated on Kahn and it's as big of a secret as Nancy/Redcorn (though of course the divorce needs to focus on how pathetic Kahn is so that's not even going to be why it happened since it was a gag.) Without Luanne around it really feels like we've lost any likeable anchor so I'm not surprised people are desperate enough to where an anon said Willow reminded them of Luanne, despite how different they are and that the writers are clearly coming from 2 completely different places in including them in the show.

r8 Hank’s team

>>149721845
>anything after GenIV

>>149721728
You know what? Fair enough. I still like her, but I can't deny that she's objectively pretty intrusive.

>>149721829
Yeah, Bobby didn't even seem bothered by it. He knows Ted wouldn't fire his golden goose over some petty Chane squabble.

>>149721829
The thing is as long as Bobby produces results then Ted won't do anything because Ted knows that the restaurant doing well will only benefit Chane down the road because it will be part of Chane's portfolio.

>>149721798
They visited because Bill lied to get them there. The fact none of them knew Bill was a revolting shut in for last five years is proof none them have ever gone near Rainey Street before that night and it's probably a hassle to get there. There's a reason why Bill felt so confident blatantly lying like that

>Hank mentioning Messi

>>149721829
That doesn’t make him not a bully

I wonder what the plan is for the restaurant long term, I assume Bobby and Connie being together will lead to conflict with Chane of course.
I think Bobby should have stayed with willow for one season at least though, too quick to pair him and Connie that fast.
Better to contrast him having a pretty normal healthy relationship vs Connies ENM mess, reverses the usual angle of him chasing her

>>149718026
any man who's a big enough faggot to get his hair dyed purple would also color-coordinate his outfit

>>149722133
Doesn't make him one either. No one is scared of Chane. Again he's a douche but a relatively harmless one on his own.

>>149722200
I honestly don't think Chane will give a shit. It was an ENM relationship and it was just really a matter of convenience for both of them since Ted probably wants Chane to ultimately marry a Laotian girl. Ted is the one who ultimately makes the call and if Bobby is keeping the restaurant performing above expectations then Ted will probably just tell Chane to deal with it because it will only benefit Chane in the long term because the restaurant is a business technically under Chane and looks good on his resume.

>>149720971

>Sounds like her dad is using HIS Chane to pull YOUR chain.

>>149719504
She exited the frat but theres no proof she actually did anything.

>>149722200
Chane and Connie broke up and since they were basically in an open relationship I don't see why Chane would care who she dates and Ted has basically written her off. Unless we find out Chane liked Connie more than he let on I doubt this will have any effect on Bobby or the restaurant

I do think Bobby is eventually gonna try to go out on his own and open another restaurant fully owned by him.

I like how Connie's legal name is still Kahn Jr.

>>149722373

>>149722301
You realize these aren't real people and what you are describing isn't a plot that would be written in a TV show? Chane is a asshole who used enm as a excuse to fuck around. Its very easy to write him as fucking with Bobby now because even if they broke up Connie was "his" because that makes for a conflict to write a episode around

>>149715394
Because autistic retards don't like context

>>149721363
I don't think it's a preference, it's just women his age are put off by him while cougars just want a young stud to ride them hard and Joseph's willing to get with anyone that'll put out.

You're not allowed to go on an open public forum and say the studio held a financial gun to your head and told you to make X changes.

... well, you are, but you won't have a show for very long after doing so.

>>149721391
Hank smiled a bit when Bobby said that. It's actually something they carried over from the original run where Hank likes Connie a lot and thinks highly of her.

Boggle

>>149722510
Joseph was reading a magazine about hot moms in the good hank episode when Peggy went over to Bobby's apartment.

>>149721873
I think that was sort of the point. She's a nice girl but is a little too freespirited. Which is why she'd be perfect for Joseph.

>>149716325
Honestly the Andrew Tate episode is significantly better than the Kahn episode. They really fucked up Kahn and Ted in the revival, easily the worst handled characters.

>>149722560

>>149722368
Yeah, I'm thinking the series ends with Bobby buying out the restaurant or starting his own; he and Connie end up together, maybe married and/or pregnant; in the end Bobby's kind of got his life together, Hank and Peggy finally find satisfaction with their couple of small investments, hobbies, and grandparenting, etc.

>>149722391
I assume that anon is referring to the fact Connie not procuring a court to legally change her name to Connie after so many years.

If the series really aims for Bobby and Connie marrying eventually, her marriage certificate will have Kahn Jr. In it?

>>149722948
Typically after marrying your spouse fills out a name change application with the state. She could drop the Jr. when she changes the last name... although then she'd be Kahn Hill, and that'd be all kinds of fucked.

On episode 9.
Why the fuck does Khan sound fucked up?
Toby Huss isn't the dead one.
Did Mike Judge and orher faggots make him do a "less offensive" voice?

>>149723096
The prevailing belief seems to be that it was due to corporate interference if episode 3 was being genuine.

>>149714714 (OP)
I hated it, it felt like every millennial stereotypical cartoon ever every single character's lives seem to be written by people with no real world experience. They all became progressive liberal in a small Texas town really everything about this show just pissed me off it was throughout the original humor and modernized it for modern audiences and if anyone likes it you are just a wookie

>>149723096
Most likely a corporate choice. I dont think Mike really cares. He definitely didnt back in the day. Also like a few other people pointed out they got a chinese guy to do the voice which wasnt really any better than a white guy doing it. If they weren't going to get a Laotian VA then they shouldn't have bothered imo. The experiences of a Laotian and a Chinese person are incredibly different. Chinese people are actually actively oppressing Laotian people so this just feels like a slap to the face.

>>149721438
>no "Phil Lamarr" listed in the credits for that episode
Curious

Wait a minute, why is Kahn sleeping in the garage if Connie already moved out?

Why does every episode feel like at the last second everyone just instantly drops their beef and the problem of the episode is suddenly not a big deal?
Even when it's pretty intense shit like Willow throwing fighting words at Connie?

>>149717759
There were literally people in one of the older threads defending the heightcel character lying about his height, they were pretty true to life.

FFTs and SJWs shouldn't be working in entertainment

Two episodes left. Only plot line I really like so far is Bill lying his way into a black friend group.

You can tell when Dale's voice was replaced or not and it's not pleasant. I wish they'd just rerecord all the lines so that it's consistent.

Any other female potty humor besides the jerry jones desk shitting scene?

>>149723769
>KotH needs to redeem itself for how they treat cats throughout the series.
How do you feel about Dr. Claw and M.A.D. Cat?

>>149717775
It's a damn shame, one of the better parts of the later seasons was Kahn really came into his own as a proper member of the Alley gang.

>>149716366
We know Bobby wouldn’t have been born without her.

>>149717011
It feels weird that Hank would go along with it. Hank would have just taken him fishing or done simple bonding activities. He’s not shy to teach he did it with Joseph.

>>149723876
If Khan does end up becoming Bill's roommate I could see him becoming a more active member of the gang.

My strongest take away is a dislike for Emilio

>>149720863
>Bobby isn't as respectful as he should be to Hank
Bobby mellowed out and matured a ton compared to his 13 year old self but he's still Bobby

>>149718086
That’s just who Bill is, not to mention there is a rule that Bill and Hank cannot succeed independently without one of them being fucked over. Hank chooses to let Don Meredith throw for him and he shanks it and Bill gets to fuck a bunch of hot cajun bitches. Hank takes care of a vets cat and gets fucked over with bs, Bill gets a chill dog and gets to go meet his own, fly in a jet, and get a thank you from the whole crew and the fucking Blue Angels.

>>149718123
Shi-shi-sha

>>149717775
The biggest single gaff they did in the reboot was not having Kahn join Hank and the boys for a beer or at least opening it at the end of the episode.

>>149724030
in one episode, hank rolls an can of beer in the garage for kahn to have, the episode ends there.

After all, I liked watching Chris Tucker 'get jiggy with it' in all those action movies with Jackie Chan. And how different is admiring a black man in a movie from watching one pleasure your wife, really?

>the incel commentary episode is also the one where the peggy panic attack storyboard leak comes from with her yelling at everyone to back the fuck up and give her xanax
damn, what a fucking horrid grouping

>>149723954
If one of John Redcorn or Dale could get pregnant from the other, the resulting son would still be Joseph.

>>149720863
>Bobby isn't as respectful as he should be to Hank, I know he's technically an adult, but I feel like I wasn't nearly like that with my parents until I was almost 30.
that's because you weren't raised by Hank. Hank's perfect parenting instilled Bobby with the confidence to be himself in all situations, even around his parents.

>>149721215
>>149721375
Joseph's escape in that scene was hilarious.

>>149721845

>>149723290
>Even when it's pretty intense shit like Willow throwing fighting words at Connie?
Glad I'm not the only one who felt odd about that. I didn't say anything because I figured some uncaring jagoff would just say "you could see her face away on the balcony still uncomfortable" but all it did was remind me of the weird "everyone tries to be happy and hold hands" ending of episode 1 about the stupid progressive shit about changing cookie names to be nicer human beings. Regardless of Connie still looking a bit closed off Willow oddly acted like she never said any of that to begin with and they still made it come off like some heartfelt ending with them all walking out there.

This revival feels like it's an alien trying to imitate episodes it saw of Friends without understanding people.

>>149723962
Why? He was chill, not to mention he’s packing at all times.

Happy they remembered that Hank has no ass

>>149717678
>reboot vs revival
I have never seen anyone get autistic over this distinction before kek

So did Hank and Peggy get a new dog?

>>149719272
Honestly, I don't care too much. It's not like Black people are overrepresented in the show since they're roughly 20% of the Dallas area which is nearby fictional Arlen, similar to white people at 27%.

>>149724240
A lot of the episodes end with that vibe.
>Everyone is pissed cause Peggy spread bed bugs but it's okay cause they burned books together! (The bed bugs have already spread at this point and apparently Dale didn't even get them all).
>Bill's lie literally gets worse but it's okay because Peggy feels flattered about it. (Also one of Bill's black friends seems to see Peggy is alive too??)
>Hank and Bobby's father and son outing gets ruined but it's okay cause they both agree Bobby's new girlfriend is weird. (When the whole obstacle of the episode was presented as trying to enjoy the outing even though Willow was tagging along)

>>149724347
They will in season 15

>>149724309
don't be such a retard

>>149720702
He's basically half of 4chan and the rest of the internet. I know you probably started coming here in your teen years, what makes you think you're not brainrotten anon?

>>149723290
>>149724240
it didn't seem that odd to me. I've been in plenty of situations where someone makes a dig that pisses someone off, there's a sentence or two exchanged over it, someone else laughs and gently mediates a la boby, then everyone moves on. That's just normal group dynamics. Shit, I think I've been in one where pretty much the exact same argument happened and was resolved just as quickly.

besides connie was there for bobby. she couldn't leave him with another much hotter woman.

>>149724348
this felt like the blackest season of king of the hill ever, even bobby's landlord was black instead of like mexican or chinese

>>149723837
I'm gonna tell you a secret anon: Women are better at sex when they've had more than one person. You'll be better at it too, if you ever get laid.

>>149724398
It's not just that episode, i was just using an example. A lot of the episodes feel like they continue to amp up the conflict all the way to the finish line then suddenly everyone afflicted just isn't bothered by the core issue anymore, just in time for end credits.

>>149724303
That ass ain’t right

>>149723876
Exactly and what makes it worse I finally genuinely started to like minh as well like the gun episode. It's like both of them fully regressed. Also weird to do since wasn't the last ep the kahn depression ep, so now kahn will end up even worse
>>149724030
I do as well feels like a proper ending at least to give him something in all this loss. Plus now he on their level anyway.
>>149720812
Basically seems like it sadly, and even worse he's more subservient to Ted when one of the big things was supposed to be Kahn and Minh finally made it in so they stopped caring. Really both got fucked
>>149721183
I never said he wasn't but he pulls rank on bobby like twice and my point is Chane gets to have a say in bobby's stuff and he is still a asshat who will benefit from bobby's hard work as he parties. Never said he was as bad as in school but he does fit the "work monkey" thing where bobby is working his ass off while Chane reaps the benefits. It's more just calling out that the Wassanasongs kind of get to stay at the top while others like Kahn and Connie the likes are fucked by the writers. Connie basically being a slut or willing cuck for Ted is insane to her character
>>149721419
Oh not happy about it, but was talking specifically about kahn since most already talked about bobby and him being weirdly excited to date slutty connie. Also how the Wassanasongs basically get to still be on top and do it via others like Connie and Bobby. It is a bit of a bad end

>>149724472
Sellin' ass propane and ass propane accessories

Weird to think Hank has met white Snoop Doge before.

>>149724496
How old is Chuck supposed to be here?

>>149724496
This was one of the funniest things in this season and it was a purely visual gag.

>>149724518
Probably the same but someone fucked up the art on the standee.

>>149723850
Not great. Cats were vilified in nearly every piece of media before this last decade. Millennials and Zoomers have more positive attitudes towards cats than boomers.
>>149723948
Big dogs, yes. So terriers typically are smaller than average. Seems like Mabosstiff would be more fitting as it's probably the Pokemon that looks the most like a bloodhound.

>>149724534
The M.A.D. Cat put a cat as the lead of a major cartoon show character which was a big first.

Sometimes he would run the show on his own.

What's with the idea that a handyman needs to be a therapist to get a good reputation today?
What the fuck world experience is that supposed to be based on?
That's such an incredibly specific thing to be delivered like a relatable modern day experience.

>>149724586
I don't know cause from my experience most people working on apps like that don't even speak english.

>>149724586
Likely extrapolation from when they had virtually no oversight to now they do this through an app and are beholden to a 5 star system, rating comments, etc.

>>149724303
For a fat old guy he's got a small ass.

>>149724586
Idk? I think it was saying people today are more open and talk to people about their feelings more openly while Hank likes to keep such things to himself and his family need be. Its just an exaggeration but I agree it was written very well.

>>149724578
That's still a negative depiction (for the most part- I haven't seen Inspector Gadget in decades). The Simpsons was at least neutral about Snowball II and Rugrats had an episode where Chuckie cares for Fluffy and the babies learn that cats are different from dogs.

>>149724586
Yeah that was weird, I have never experienced that. I think it was supposed to be a critique on gig economy stuff while also having Hank and Peggy work through and issue but it came off as weird. Like I expect a handy man to not be cordial but not tell him my whole life story.

>>149715056

This show very desperately needs a Cotton

>>149724586
I felt like that was more a commentary about how it’s not enough to do the job you’re hired for well any more but you have to be a people person as well. It’s accurate. And I fucking hate it.

Finished it tonight.

I will say its not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
The stories and dialog are okay.

However, it is still not that good.
It is worse than the later seasons of Kind of the Hill (post-season 7).
The animation is bad. Probably the worst complaint about it. I won't day the animation is lazy, but it definitely is less effort than when the show ended.
The thick outlined characters vs the normal background is jarring.
The animation is the same "less effort" as the two times they tried to bring Beavis and Butthead back. There really is now excuse for it.
The voices are worst for the most part.
Hank, Peggy, Boomhauer and Mihn are fine.
Everyone else is either worse, or miscast.
Despite Johnny Hardwick finishing the season it seems, he sounds robotic and phoned in. I don't know if its Johnny dying or he tried to sound older to match an older Dale.
Joseph's voice actor changed. Its not bad its a voice that didn't need changed that much.
Khan doesn't sound like Khan. I think they changed his voice actor to a gook to not culturally appropriate, and made him do a normal voice. Fucking gay.
Ted Wassanasong's voice is changed to, and there was absolutely no reason for it.
Bobby sounds the same, and thats actually one that should have changed. Nothing crazy, but Bobby shouldn't sound like a 13 year old boy like he did. They changed so many voices, changed so many actors, but they didn't change the one who aged the most.

As for the stories. Meh. It wasn't too heavy handed in its liberalism, which I was afraid of, but it did do what I expected. Too much "look what changed while we were gone", "how do you do fellow kids".
I don't like Chang being Bobby's boss. I don't like that Connie even tried dating him. I don't like Connie being an open relationship whore.
I know that all the king of the hill chatactera are adults now, and all the fans are too, but I didn't like how "adult" they made it. Now the chatacters talk about sex more and swear more.

>>149724808
It's genuinely not true though. Uber Drivers literally get better ratings for shutting up and minding their own business.

Why did they make Connie so gross now but also don't want Bobby to drop her?

>>149724658
I don't think it was conveyed accurately even though it was executed well. I don't know how often people expect conversation with whoever is providing them a service. I would think given how sheltered younger people are they would be adverse to small talk, not desperate for it. People are still open about their struggles, don't get me wrong, but it's moreso people are willing to announce if they're gay or allergic to nuts or have ADHD. Twenty years ago sharing anything about mental illness was taboo. Now everyone is struggling with some mental affliction.

new season is 15/15 for the sole reason that Hank isn't always right which is what made me hate late KOTH

>>149724927
I like how Hank fell for the buy high and sell low meme.

>>149724827
>Bobby sounds the same, and thats actually one that should have changed. Nothing crazy, but Bobby shouldn't sound like a 13 year old boy like he did. They changed so many voices, changed so many actors, but they didn't change the one who aged the most.
Yeah, this bothered me. Adlon did a fantastic job with what she had to work with, but Bobby should have had a man voice him. I know they wanted Adlon still on King of the Hill but it's kind of disappointing they couldn't come up with much. She could have played Boomhauer's stepkid, Gracie, Willow, etc. but other actors were cast instead. It's pretty bad with GH has a deeper voice than Bobby.

>I wanna do weird stuff with you, weird stuff TO you!

Wow, like mother like daughter

I understand the Girl Scout cookies scene but I'm pretty sure they're still called and trademarked as Samoas in different states

>>149717007
his house burned down three months ago


because he's gay

>>149724983
God she's annoying now even when she's engaging in sexual interest towards the main character. Why is she so fucking off in this revival?

>>149724927
I actually liked Peggy more because she's shamelessly self-aggrandizing and she owns it. Before she reminded me too much of myself and how I try to be not-the-worst or out of my element when I was totally out of my depth. She's learned. I haven't, but that's a me problem.

>>149724999
Dang it Bobby.

>>149725011
Probably because she's living with the pressure of living as an Asian American daughter who is coming into adulthood. Pressure doesn't let up just cause your tigermom doesn't have 100% control of your life anymore.

So when she lets go, she REALLY lets go.

>>149724987
I did like the line
>It's nice to be nice.
Even though I'm generally against changing something for cultural sensitivity reasons. But Caramel Delights is a better name because it's more accurate.

>>149724983
that's the broken home, failed relationship and the morphine talking.

>>149725091
I don't think you're grasping why people think she's annoying now.

>>149725091
This, Bobby is going to be her full on support. Also did I just finished the anniversary episode and she said she broke up with Chane but I don’t think anything was really said in that regard.

>>149725094
Samoas was always a dumb name to start with. It tells you nothing about the cookie, much less if you know absolutely nothing about Samoa itself

>>149724999
I read up on his stuff.
There seema to be plenty of witnesses in his last couple of years of life that said Ross was no saint.
The police was called on him 72 times in the last year of his life.
In all honesty it sounds like Ross was a nutcase.
It sounds like he was the victim when he died. But it sounds like he behaved like a total nutbar in his neighborhood well before his house burned down.
He probably was discriminated against, but it sounds like he behaved badly, and people decided to be assholes back to him.
Like a black guy who acts like a nigger, so people start calling him a nigger. Or a gay guy who acts annoying or obnoxious, so people start calling him a fag.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Joss

>>149724291
He's kind of a passive asshole

>>149725133
And how is the cookie connected to Samoa? They're brown, round, and contain coconut?

>>149725136
I'm not going to accept a "he was asking for it"

>>149724890
>even though it was executed well.
It was?

>>149725119
Maybe I do maybe I don't. Why don't you tell me what you find annoying about her? Lemme see if your gripes have any connection to what I'm seeing.

>>149725197
Read, maybe?

>>149714714 (OP)
>he simple fact that this is a reboot where the male lead isn't ritualistically humiliated puts it ahead of most other modern reboots.
Give it til season 2.

This season is cursed though.
Johnny Hardwick
Jonathan Ross
Chuck Mangione

All these men were alive before they started making this damn season and they were dead by the time it aired.
Also Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty were alive when the show ended and they were dead before it was revived.

Just saying

>>149725128
I think it was implied with how Chane was all "Don't bother me with your problems, but I'll still have sex if you want it". He has the swagger of an Asian firstborn who think they're hot shit.

>>149725220
you will live to see people older than you die.

>>149725091
Honestly I think it sucks that the show is handling her like this now. One of the reasons I liked Connie to begin with in the original show is that they acknowledged that she's an asian daughter with high expectations and that she's really smart, but they never got annoying about it. Now they're just doing the generic "she can finally be herself away from her shitty parents! she's a bit of a crazy adult right now!" crap. Hell they already did some stories like that before like her wanting to play bluegrass and it wasn't some obnoxious rebellion thing that made her annoying, it was endearing (until Hank being pushy, he was the one I didn't like the writing of at times in it, not Connie.) Her sneaking out to go do it was an interesting storyline. No now we just have "I'm gonna try ethical nonmonogomy" "That's slut shaming!" "I wanna do WEIRD things to you!!" and it's tiresome. This all sounds like some live action drama for women.

All the stuff I appreciated about this show not doing, they do it now.

>>149725207
I did, which is how I came to my conclusion that this is Connie letting go. You're disagreeing with me tells me I missed something, so I'm asking you.

>>149725177
I don't know. If you get the cops called on you 72 times, I'm more inclined to believe Ross came home to check his mail, started shit, and got shot than Ross came home to check his mail, his homophobic neighbor came out, insulted him and then decided to kill him.

There's also got to be a reason why the show DID NOT invite him to a panel, and for him to grab the mic say some stuff and had to be escorted out.
ITS THE CURRENT YEAR! I find it unlikely people, including the show, discriminated against him for being a bisexual injun.

>>149716770
New writers made Dale worse than he usually is with his shenanigans and conspiracies.

>I'm the only white dude in my road crew.

>>149725265
>No now we just have "I'm gonna try ethical nonmonogomy" "That's slut shaming!"
No see, I interpret this as the sort of loophole you get with kids that want to keep up appearances with their strict ass parents. This feels less like some nu-age rebellion and more like "See we're being good Asian kids and dating each other, get off our backs". There are legit some Asian couples I know where it is an open secret the husband has a side-whore and the marriage was simply to keep up tradition, and the only people who don't know (or at least pretend they don't know) are the parents.

>"I wanna do WEIRD things to you!!"
I think that was a combination of fantasy and the post-break up high that I've seen friend go through when their Asian family finally gives up on them. They're going to be depressed as all hell later, but for the first couple of weeks they are riding high, like they just finished their college finals sort of high.

>>149725349
>combination of fantasy
Combination of fentanyl. Fuck autocorrect.

>>149725265
They forgot to keep Connie appealing in the pursuit of depicting modern women's adult lives and their "social struggles." It really bothered me how she clearly admitted to Bobby that she liked being with Chane in their relationship structure because it gave her what she wanted with no strings attached, but then at the end of that one episode she lashes out at Chane for... acting like a boyfriend because it benefited him impressing his parents. Bitch, you were selfish too. You were both intentionally just doing things in the relationship to benefit yourself because that's what that structure is for, all he wanted to do was show she's someone he was in a relationship with, which is supposed to be true. Why does only the guy get the shaft, then devolve him into a blubbering "pretends to care about progressive values" strawman talking about how him having to talk to her about her problems "wasn't consensual, i dont feel safe." It's so forced, it's like people can only write shit like this now.

Did the original have blatant sex jokes?
I know Cotton dropped them 90% of the tome, but sometimes they kinda feel out of place because I remember they were more subtle or spicy rather then dude sex lmao.

>>149725419
It felt like the joke cuts to Hank having fucked Peggy in the soccer episode were off because he looked TOO satisfied, with his arms up like that. It felt like a typical way of writing a husband and wife in that scenario instead of Hank. Idk watching all of these episodes, including the first one by Judge, only felt like it made any sense watching as if it was fanfiction. Otherwise everyone just feels weird.

>>149725419
Could be the original seasons were from a time sex was talked about more tastefully and straight up saying you fucked was seen as uncouth or bold(depending on audience) whereas now the norm is to just declare whose wookie pie your sneezing up with dick snot

>>149725146
That’s fair.

>dale casually says he jacked off to the zapruder film
That sounded like something someone here would say as a joke in a greentext.

>>149720137
>didn't feel shoe horned in
It's because he was hardly in the show

>>149725538
There's no way they had Jale talk about Dacking off.

>that mom complaining that she doesn't think she can take care of her baby
you could start by not suffocating it under your shirt when breastfeeding. wasn't the whole point of the episode/revival that people are now oddly more open and accepting than ever before, but we couldn't even show a baby's head obscuring a naked breast in a streaming-exclusive animation

>>149725549
Oh they did. It’s in the GH episode, Hank says he’s always in his room and Bill says he’s probably “shaking hands with the milk man” and when Hank says Hill men don’t do that Dale interjects and says he did at his age.

Not memeing, just genuinely curious what he meant by this? Like does he mean arguments or something else?

>>149725659
The constant "relateable namedropping" trend really got old.
>I watched Fox News... a little CNN...
>I watched all of Netflix, Hank, did you know if you watch all of Netflix they reward you?
>I never had Netflix
>You don't got a Ring Cam Peggy Hill?
>reddit
>literally the beta meme
Hell even the "King of the Grill got stupidly cancelled by the Fox network" joke sucked dick and felt bizarre.

>>149725497
>>149725499
They're also empty nesters. They don't have to worry about Bobby or Luanne intruding.

>>149724827
>Ted Wassanasong's voice is changed to, and there was absolutely no reason for it.
Ted's dead baby!

The only hope is for some turbo autist to put the original voices back in like Dale and Kahn too.

>>149719232
>bobby gets tricked into taking a horse?
His dad bought cars sticker price for 2 decades

>>149725684
Incel culture is now mainstream. 4chan is borderline mainstream given how much Pepe appears on clothing and in memes.

>>149725734
At least he went to a car dealership and left with cars. But they just really wanted to drive home how gullible of a nice-guy Bobby is so he fucking bought a horse. Did he even get the car? I think it was in lieu of one, which is insane and doesn't make sense considering the point of the horse was to make up for the "hard bargain" on a car? I just remember it cutting to the horse in the parking lot and no Bobby car.

>>149725757
I assumed he got the car and the horse was thrown in, or at least amazingly cheap.
I'm curious if he really did get a good deal on the car though.

>>149725757
I think the horse was just a freebie thrown in as a way to seal the deal.

>>149725832
The horse was probably the salesman's way of winning in the sale. He knew he couldn't pull his regular shit regarding cars but he found something he could sell Bobby on and end up in a better place than when he started.

It is a really sweet horse and hopefully we see more Joseph bonding with it and John Redcorn. By the way, it seems like Joseph now likes John Redcorn, so that's some small consolation for John.

>>149725689
I didn't mean the soccer jokes, those were odd but fine by me. They felt like a Simpson gag more than anything.

>they got Nolan Ryan for the season finale
Okay that was pretty cool.

>>149725914
>people are so hard up for something good to say, or just have such low standards of amazement, that we now have to admire celebrity guest stars
fuck

>>149725659
niche interest communities being fucking deranged.

>>149725659
Replace subreddit with any /co/ general thread that gets hunted to /trash/

That's what it means.

>>149725659
I'm pretty sure everyone else is wrong and it's just commentary about how mean people are on the internet. Like literally every other thing that keeps referencing the internet.

>>149725965
>movies are a niche interest

>>149726005
They will be when you need to scan your face and ID to access superman punching the joker.

>>149721319
Maybe but KOTH isn't interested in doing "See! It's that guy!" or "Hey remember that time!" like so many sequels are infested with.

>>149726021
Instead they slowly dripfeed you information even about main stuff to where the pacing feels off like you're already expected to know things. Episode 1 felt like I was watching the second half of a movie.

>>149726035
Them waiting for Season 2 to even address ladybird is surprising considering how big of a deal she is to him. Just because we can assume she's dead doesn't mean we should go 11 episodes before it's brought up with them getting a new dog. Seems like an easy thing to have Hank mention within the first few episodes getting back to old life with all the depressing changes.

>>149726043
You kinda are.
>>149726035
Ladybird is dead and has been dead for years. Again do people keep wanting Hank to just randomly bring up ladybird?

"Boy remember that time I danced with ladybird?"

"Boy remember that time ladybird tried to kill a negro"

Hank moved on.

>>149726053
>You kinda are.
Are what? The kind of scene I had in mind was them getting settled into their house again and realizing it's odd now with no Bobby, and no Ladybird either. Hank could comment that at least she doesn't have to be as confused as he is about all the asinine changes in the world, mention that the old girl lived to the ripe old age of [number] and she's better for it. Or you know, literally just show an urn or something.

>>149714714 (OP)
It is pretty good besides going too far with annoying woke sometimes and dale is still the funniest

>>149726073
I think the episodes are a little bit out-of-order. Like Dale had his original voice actor say a few words in a later episode of the season because the episode may have originally been planned to be earlier in the season. They may have planned to bring up Ladybird earlier but due to issues with writing or scheduling actors, it had to wait. She's likely going to be brought up when Bobby adopts Cesar.

It would be cool to have Luanne again but It is pretty good besides going too far with annoying woke sometimes and dale is still the funniest

>>149726187
Isn't Caesar Hank and Peggy's dog? They get him because he has genital issues like Hank and ladybird

>>149725931
No, I just thought it was cool because he’s my namesake.

>>149726201
It’s weird they didn’t mention her or lucky once. Not even have Peggy say “oh I got a letter from Montana” or something like that.
