(If you're battling Manic-Depressive disorder, I love you and I want you in this world. Don't give up!) Season 13 Episode 24; Just another Manic-Khan Day
Also, notice when Dale recognizes the symptoms Bill nods in agreement. I have a theory that Bill had made some research about depression, because he thinks he might have one... :(
Yup, hated my neighbor and they hated us but still invited them to parties and they still helped us out if they saw suspicious people when we weren't home
Khan's only choices are don't take his meds and risk being manic and fun or be severely depressed at random or he can take his meds and be annoying but balanced. Khan has tough life, I am glad they put so much effort and detail into Khan's backstory and struggle being a Laotian in Texas cause it shows he isn't a jackass for no reason. a lot is expected of Khan while trying to fit in among his neighbors plus dealing with his personal problems.
He's actually gets better at his condition in the later episode. He gets along with the guys better and seem to genuinely enjoy the presence. The pool episode best showcase this
i feel this, i don't have manic depression but i have depression and adhd, if i take my adhd meds i'm more likely to get depressed, but i'm less annoying, unfortunately i'm also less fun. when i don't take my meds i'm less depressed but i'm also compulsive and kinda hyper
@@evie5375 i relate so hard. taking my adderal makes my adhd way better but it makes my anxiety way worse and I just can’t stand that so no more meds for me
I love the detail in the scene. The red flags are clearly there... Even down to khans pressured speech, and his calculations that leave no room for sleep over the next week. What I love most of all is that out of all of them, the one who realizes what's going on isn't bill or hank, or even Peggy... It's Dale. What does that say about him? Lol
@@hpiccus Exactly. Dale knew global warming was a government plot from day 1. Citizen: Are Chem trails real? Government: No! We don't spray anything into the atmosphere, that's just crazy." Informed Citizen: "Really? Than what is Geo engineering all about?" Government:.............
Never knew the most accurate depiction of Bipolar would be King of Hill. But good on them for going against the stigma and showing what it's really like.
I usually go into manic (when I say Manic I mean I act like I'm the happiest person on earth nothing is difficult and I've just had 14 coffes) states and the deeply regret my actions during the manic state but this usually takes the span of a day and it happens alot, some days I'm just depressed as shit though until one day comes and I feel like an absolute unstoppable machine. Could this be Manic Depression? Or a combination of different symptoms? I have ADHD diagnosis and Depression.
I don't suffer from it but my mom does. I saw Kahn going manic in this episode and was like, "uhoh, this looks kind of familiar." Then yep, he crashed.
I love how caring Hank and the others are. When Kahn is MIA for a couple of days, they get genuinely worried, and they go to check on him when Dale tells Hank that those sound like symptoms of Manic Depression. They're genuinely worried for their friend, and they do what friends are supposed to do, and check on him. We should all be so lucky to have friends that care that much. kahn is a lucky fellow.
I thought the one where Bobby was on a meat Quality Control team for the Community College was the "Final episode". At least, the outro was kinda built like it was supposed to be. According to Wiki, the episode is "To Sirloin with Love" and is the actual last episode. This one with Kahn is the 2nd to last ep.
@@adamz.5844 To Sirloin with Love is the cannon finale but they released a few more unreleased episodes later on down the line for kicks I guess. But To Sirloin with Love was the last episode that aired normally.
This is so sad. Reminds me of my friend who passed away last year after taking his life. Was such a bright and happy guy, and you could tell how much he hated his medicine for the way it made him act.
I'm really sorry for your loss. Medication is over-used it seems, and whilst it may be the freedom some need, it grants a prison that others don't wish to enter.
@@jaspercarmack wow, that was so beautiful. I've worked so fucking hard to be free of medications and it has been tough. They saved my life but they were never gonna be a permanent fixure in it. I made a deal with myself, if I stay sober and in a routine with scheduled sleep then I don't have to take them. So many factors. I gotta keep shit tight to stay sane but damn what you wrote was just beautiful to me and just made me feel at peace with this choice. Okay i do still keep weed in my life because abstinence will never work for me. Weed keeps me balanced but I have to work out and sleep or else I will go bananas. I am not gonna live with the shitty side affects of four medications that essentially do the same thing. Very redundant. Doctors love pushing pills.
I'm so sorry for you loss. My brother took his life as well. It's an excruciating pain, being left behind. I just want to hug him so badly. I would be happy to have a fight with him, the kind where end up crying and cursing the day he was conceived. I miss everything and I missed it while he was here too.
I felt good once I could handle my depression to an extent without drugs. You have my condolences, those kind of suicidal thoughts are a plague. Believe me, I’d know
If you're going through Manic-Depressive phases, I love you and want you in this world. The emotional roller-coaster might throw you around a lot, but the sun will always shine again on the other side. Never give up.
I see Khan's actions at first not just a result of a burst of energy and his medicine, but also him actively trying to preoccupy his attention with elaborate tasks and loud music to avoid any intrusive negative thoughts. It feels very relatable. Eventually it all gets done and all you have left are your thoughts.
Interestingly as a kid who was given ADHD medicine I didn't need... my medicine made me act like Khan and I was only normal when I stopped taking it. Imagine being 12 years old not knowing what drugs are like cleaning up your Legos and suddenly you are overwhelmed with the ultimate sensation of being carefree and happy, then 3 hours later sobbing uncontrollably.
I too was diagnosed with ADHD ... at the ripe old age of 6... SIX . Of course six year olds are supposed to be the picture of discipline and have the mentality to sit still in classes for hours at a time am i rite?????? For seven years after taking that "medicine" I was either numb numb to the world ( go weeks at a time with out feeling anything) or angry at the world. I would grind my teeth and clench my muscles over and over again until near exhaustion, naturally all the kids thought I was that creepy kid that was "tweaking". I also was a straight d minus student. Finally I had enough ( In my mind I knew it was the medicine but I was too afraid to tell my mother until this point) About a week before the 2nd semester of the 7th grade started I begged and pleaded with my mother to let me stop taking the medicine, but under the stipulation that if I fail a class then I would go right back on it, or if she hears about me cutting up or misbehaving in class. Cut to a week later and it was like a haze had been lifted from my mind, I stopped clenching all the time, I stopped grinding my teeth, I was actually feeling things normally. Then I noticed that I could remember almost everything teachers were saying, cut to another three weeks after that I get a progress report. EVERY single grade at a bare minimum shot up 20 points. My study habits did not change one Iota, I brought this home to mom, and it brought her to tears. Teachers and kids a-like noticed I did a complete 180. To this day it brings my blood to a hot boil when I hear about a small child being "diagnosed with ADHD". Maybe ADHD is an actual thing but that kind of crap needs to be diagnosed in teens or adults, not children just out of their toddler years. Sorry about the wall of text I just needed a void to "yell" into.
I too was a child put on medication for the school system I had autism and bi polar and I was given a drug called ablify which causes problems for me later in life
I was diagnosed at 6... Because I had it. It's possible. And it wasn't just because I' was hyper. I literally couldn't process people calling my name accepts the room, and id forget things I was just told. It's possible to know at that point. You could even see it at four. I'm an adult now and it's still trying to ruin my life.
As someone with a bipolar parent, yeah, this is pretty accurate. It's even worse when they're more productive without medication, but it only comes in uncontrolled bursts.
I had a friend like this. He was a sharp debater and very knowledgeable in geo poltics. He had since slowed down and want to become a teacher and move back to Asia. It would not surprise me if he had a much darker side I was unaware of.
This was technically the last episode of king of the hill ever made, It's interesting to see where the show was gonna go, this was supposed to be season 14 and it looks like we would have seen a new season with Hank and Kahn being actual friends who knows what they had planned for the two.
I think this episode was pretty self contained, later KOTH episodes took more of a linear/ serialized approach which made them easier to follow in syndication though killed a lot of the ongoing storylines they did in earlier seasons. I also found out that the last episode (the Bobby/ meat team one) was the last one produced and meant to be the finale until they decided to release the 5 lost episodes they created earlier for Adult Swim. I do love to speculate how a season 14 would look like in 2009-10. One thing's for sure, it would've been way better than the Cleveland show 😷
@@cringposter1880 Yes it was, not sure what you are on about, but this was the last episode of king of the hill, it's not the series finale but it's the last episode of king of the hill to ever air new on Adult swim. And it was also originally labeled season "season 14 episode 4" on TV the guide for comcast when it aired. I was literally there when happened don't argue with me on this one, I was fucking there dude.
@@kenm2709 The issue the commenter took was with the wording. The last episode made was To Sirloin With Love, but the last episode to *air* was this one, Just Another Manic-Kahn Day. It's a small, but important difference.
This show is so goddamn poignant. This episode is kinda hard to watch if you have manic depression but I love how much care Mike Judge puts into his work.
I actually really appreciated how the subject was approached, how khan wasn't scary or dangerous, just that he was dealing with a lot of mental abnormality and needed help. It made me feel like people like me had a moment to be seen as your neighbor that just needs to take their medicine, instead of somebody to run away from. Not many people knew what this even was back then. So I'm pretty grateful to Mike judge.
I experienced it myself with my first (and only so far) manic episode. Feeling almost exactly like that. When I went to the psych ward they diagnosed me with bipolar disorder, put me on depakote, but that caused a lot of problems. Switched to lamictal after a few months and have been great ever since.
He said specifically that he just baked cookies that “should be cooled off in 35 seconds,” which implies that they are *not* fresh out of the oven. Gotta give the writers a bit more credit than that!
It's amazing how real and honest this episode is at tackling the subject. It's not about making jokes but it's an informed look at what it's like to be manically depressed. When they are up they are up and when they are down they are down. Bravo King of the Hill.
Yeah. Manic depression is pretty bad. King of the Hill is the only show that has actually addressed it. While other shows overblow mental disorders and cause unnecessary paranoia towards mental illness to make a profit, King of the Hill is the only show that actually took the time and appreciation to depict a mental illness fairly with no harsh judgment. Bravo!
It’s safe to say that Kahn has low self confidence and his manic depression only just amplifies the the feelings of perfectionism, envy, and self doubt.
There's also a time when Bill uses his bare hands to pull out a metal toaster oven tray and get his pizza. For a show featuring so much grilling and propane, they should've been more accurate about proper safety protocols. You're going to feel the heat, so only feel meat responsibly.
fatcat it came up in my collection as the last episode, but I’m pretty sure Bobby joining the FFA was the last episode or at least supposed to be. Perfect way to end the series, Hank and Bobby finally bonding over meat and grilling. So glad they never brought it back and let it end as such.....perfect. :)
Pretty sad when an episode of King of the Hill describes manic depression better than anything else, I'm manic depressive and have ADD. The highs and lows in this clip, been there too many times. With more times to come.
that is so very true. this is my favorite thing that mike judge made, it's sincere and brings people together and it's got a lot of honesty and heart. some of the lines from this show, will NEVER stop making me laugh. so many.
It’s pretty incredible how kind and thoughtful the comment section of the KOTH UA-camrs are. Struggling with my own mania/bipolar it is painfully accurate and hard to watch but at the same time reminds me often of my own awkward and weird friends doing their best to relate and come to my rescue. So thank you from all of us out there who are that friend to someone. And the people who do struggle and feel like this, there’s always help out there; you’re not alone.
I have type 1 bipolar disorder. I can't believe such a good, respectful, and ACCURATE depiction of bipolar disorder came from KING OF THE HILL. They show the manic racing thoughts and energy and need to do 10 things at once and accomplishing getting everything done perfectly!! They even got the constant need for stimulation (the loud blasting music), thousands of ideas and ambitious (deluded) grandiose goal setting! When you're manic you get soooo many ideas and feel like you can accomplish ANYTHING 😂
Technically this isn't how it ended. It's the last episode aired, but that Sirloin episode was the official finale. This one was skipped for some reason, and later they decided to air it after the finale. I'm guessing the serious subject matter is partly why.
@@nicnaciswack8681 She only died a while after the finale (To Sirloin With Love) AIRED. Production was well over since then. It wasn't her death that caused it to end, but Fox abruptly cancelling it, in spite of good ratings. I made an oopsie because their viewership numbers were insanely high, and they retained a lot of pull. In other news, they announced just after that, the Cleveland Show.
As a bipolar person with generalized anxiety, I can confirm. Although anxiety does sometimes make ya not do anything which can trigger a depressive episode but hey.
The manic episode is actually worse than shown here. It doesn't just lead to productiveness and overestimating oneself. It also leads to reckless behavior like tons of alcohol consumption and damaging property, along with worsening interpersonal relationships due to them being too aggressive when being told to calm down.
High highs, LOW lows. And the worst part about the lows is they feel even worse because jts lime letting yourself down that you arent doing as much as you feel you should be.
Anyone else like this without meds? I feel like the only times I feel good are when I'm busy, as soon as I slow down the world stops. I'm just lucky TV and books are a good distraction for when things slow down
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my UA-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
I've been rewatching this series as an adult now but I haven't gotten to this part yet. As someone with Bi Polar I feel like this portrays it pretty good.
@METAL4 LIFE maybe try a psychiatrist or a therapist if you ever feel like it's too rough c: therapist will help you think while the psych will give you pills
You know this is a serious episode when even Dale, the funniest character in the show, is being genuinely concerned for someone's health.
It is more that someone is acting even MORE crazy than Dale.

It's amazing how real and honest this episode is at tackling the subject. It's not about making jokes but it's an informed look at what it's like to be manically depressed. When they are up they are up and when they are down they are down. Bravo King of the Hill.
0:03 thought it was a bendy straw in his Alamo.
Yeah.
That's so true 😂😂😂
I like it how they took care of Khan after he was all bummed
I hope I'm not the only one who found it funny how they walk in and the very first thing he says is an unprompted "sadness covers me like a blanket"
this is a fairly accurate representation of bipolar
I'm bipolar one and this is the best portrayal of bipolar disorder that I've ever seen in the media
Yeah. Manic depression is pretty bad. King of the Hill is the only show that has actually addressed it. While other shows overblow mental disorders and cause unnecessary paranoia towards mental illness to make a profit, King of the Hill is the only show that actually took the time and appreciation to depict a mental illness fairly with no harsh judgment. Bravo!
I’ve now seen bill, Kahn and dale grab and hold a metal pan straight out of an oven with their bare hands
Kahn said it was cooling off stupid
@@datsun100a3 the oven stays hot after baking stupid. Even if you open the oven door to let the hot air escape, stuff stays hot and warm in there
@@datsun100a3 debatable if the pan would be cool or not. Probably not
@@bananadog5813 He could've cooled them off outside of the oven
In Texas, that's called room temperature
It’s safe to say that Kahn has low self confidence and his manic depression only just amplifies the the feelings of perfectionism, envy, and self doubt.
Kahn: The cookies will be cooled off in 35 seconds.
Everyone: He JuSt GrAbBeD a HoT pAn StRaIgHt OuT oF tHe OvEn
Kahn- "I just baked delicious cookies that should be cooled off in 35 seconds."
Comment Section- tHey'RE ToUChiNg tHe HoT cOoKiE sHEeT
17 seconds passes between when he says they'll be done and when he walks back into the living room. conspiraci?
There's also a time when Bill uses his bare hands to pull out a metal toaster oven tray and get his pizza. For a show featuring so much grilling and propane, they should've been more accurate about proper safety protocols. You're going to feel the heat, so only feel meat responsibly.
The last episode so far in KOTH, depressing one but well made.
X1 Gen KaneshiroX no it wasn’t
@@dwainemassey194 yes it was
fatcat it came up in my collection as the last episode, but I’m pretty sure Bobby joining the FFA was the last episode or at least supposed to be. Perfect way to end the series, Hank and Bobby finally bonding over meat and grilling.
So glad they never brought it back and let it end as such.....perfect. :)
It's technically not. the tv station just fucked up and released it in a weird order
@@VincentVinnieVegas it should be brought back. Modern times need this
Kahn reminds me of my dad in literally every aspect. They even have the same name 💀
this episode felt so real when i first watched it; i related to it a lot several years after my diagnosis, and i still somewhat do.
Pretty sad when an episode of King of the Hill describes manic depression better than anything else, I'm manic depressive and have ADD. The highs and lows in this clip, been there too many times. With more times to come.
I honestly hope this show comes back. This country needs KOTH now more than ever.
that is so very true. this is my favorite thing that mike judge made, it's sincere and brings people together and it's got a lot of honesty and heart. some of the lines from this show, will NEVER stop making me laugh. so many.
It’s pretty incredible how kind and thoughtful the comment section of the KOTH UA-camrs are.
Struggling with my own mania/bipolar it is painfully accurate and hard to watch but at the same time reminds me often of my own awkward and weird friends doing their best to relate and come to my rescue. So thank you from all of us out there who are that friend to someone. And the people who do struggle and feel like this, there’s always help out there; you’re not alone.
Hank's a good guy, he was pretty distressed at seeing how down Khan was
It's a simple thing, but I like how despite their differences, they all still help each other out.
I have type 1 bipolar disorder. I can't believe such a good, respectful, and ACCURATE depiction of bipolar disorder came from KING OF THE HILL. They show the manic racing thoughts and energy and need to do 10 things at once and accomplishing getting everything done perfectly!! They even got the constant need for stimulation (the loud blasting music), thousands of ideas and ambitious (deluded) grandiose goal setting! When you're manic you get soooo many ideas and feel like you can accomplish ANYTHING 😂
You don't have a disease. It's literally all in your head.
God I love Billy Idol. Perfect music for working. For me anyway.
Too relatable. I hate that this show ended! Thanks for uploading this! Subscribed!
Technically this isn't how it ended. It's the last episode aired, but that Sirloin episode was the official finale. This one was skipped for some reason, and later they decided to air it after the finale. I'm guessing the serious subject matter is partly why.
@@G1ingy no Brittany Murphy died and it complicated the editing process she was the voice of Luanne
@@nicnaciswack8681
She only died a while after the finale (To Sirloin With Love) AIRED. Production was well over since then.
It wasn't her death that caused it to end, but Fox abruptly cancelling it, in spite of good ratings.
I made an oopsie because their viewership numbers were insanely high, and they retained a lot of pull.
In other news, they announced just after that, the Cleveland Show.
Never thought about the anagram, but now that he mentions it...
Wish I had a friend like Hank.
Depressed people be like "that's literally me!"
What they are really like: only the sad parts
I was diagnosed as bipolar in 2017. I love this episode! Pretty darn accurate for a cartoon...
Oh shit I also got diagnosed that year! I was 17 at the time
This is way before it's time.
mental illness is not at all unique to this or any era of society
Lol yep. That’s what bipolar is like.
That’s what adderall is like.
@@wikipediaintellectual7088 thats what double shot of coffee is like
As a bipolar person with generalized anxiety, I can confirm. Although anxiety does sometimes make ya not do anything which can trigger a depressive episode but hey.
The manic episode is actually worse than shown here. It doesn't just lead to productiveness and overestimating oneself. It also leads to reckless behavior like tons of alcohol consumption and damaging property, along with worsening interpersonal relationships due to them being too aggressive when being told to calm down.
@@SebastianWoodard but hey 👋
Does no one notice *piping hot cookies* man just grabs them with bare hands burning the hell out of them, even dales...
That painting of himself is...really handsome... 😳😯🤭
"Did you know Hank is an anagram of Kahn ehhh?!"
Damn. 15 years watching this show and just got it.
For someone who have bipolar this is 100% true
Khan was tweaking out of his mind 😂
Luciano Martinez that’s what happens when you don’t take your meds
Khan is twacked out
That self portrait of Khan really reminds me of Boomhauer's self portrait from when he was kept captive in the mental hospital.
High highs, LOW lows. And the worst part about the lows is they feel even worse because jts lime letting yourself down that you arent doing as much as you feel you should be.
This was a great finale.
As Jake the dog once said, "I'm gonna eat all the food in the house and then die."
Thank you friend for that thoughtful comment in the description box, its a good reminder that i need to see the doc again and get myself analyzed
2:00 _”Sadness covers new like a blanket. Tuck me in. Let me die.”_
Shakespearean 👌
As a bipolar person this remains to date the most accurate depiction ive ever seen lol
Anyone else like this without meds? I feel like the only times I feel good are when I'm busy, as soon as I slow down the world stops. I'm just lucky TV and books are a good distraction for when things slow down
I have days like Kahn very relatable
He just takes the cookies out of the ovens with his bare hands lol
He literally has no chill
I even love how Hank lowers the decibels in his "Bwahhh!"
I remember him buying the Jukebox is S2.E15 “Three Days of the Kahndo”
I think my favorite part about this clip is that it's actually pretty dang accurate, not just over the top for the sake cartoon entertainment.
When you are hyperfocused everything seems so easy and it really is!!
This episode is so important
He did more lunges than I did for an entire year
As a man who suffers from depresssion, I can confirm that this is what a manic day is like.
I've been dealing with depression for two years now. Idk how it has been for you but worry not brother,the storm won't last forever.
@@GreenGoblinCoryintheHouse You'll be my prayers as well.
This scene is like a visual representation of what being on adderall is like.
im surprized that dale even knew what manic depression was.
Sums me up pretty well.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my UA-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
Pussy
@@SteveVi0lence OK keyboard warrior.
I love this show.
Bill; "Yeah, that sounds right to me." Hahaha!
Its stuff like this that makes me think Dale pretends to be oblivious to his wife's cheating
I just realized I’ll never watch a king of the Hill episode for the first time ever again.
It's always scary when Dale's right.
This is scary because it's a very realistic situation.
I've been rewatching this series as an adult now but I haven't gotten to this part yet. As someone with Bi Polar I feel like this portrays it pretty good.
Being someone with bipolar disorder....it's weird seeing such an accurate representation 😂
@METAL4 LIFE maybe try a psychiatrist or a therapist if you ever feel like it's too rough c: therapist will help you think while the psych will give you pills
THE BEST
Dale comin in hot with that insight! rip Bug man
Kahn "I have baked cookies, that will be ready in 35 seconds."
Commenters "Wow! Much pan, such hands!"
Never realized how much I was like Khan until this
the most tragic and emotional “bwaaaah” of the whole show
They did a spot on portrayal of bipolar disorder, especially if you’re off your meds.
"Meds" = poison
this episode was really just depressing and made me cry for khan after seeing his disorder
I think it's an very important episode. It shows that kahn is actually a really nice person.
@@ashtonr7879 yeah
He even busted out the Totinos Pizza Rolls out the oven 😁
