Yeah, for the most part he's considered a conservative because, rather than simply picking it as a side, that's where his core beliefs happened to line up.
You find Hank Hill relatable because he's not a bad person. He's not a saint either. He's a flawed human being. Politics has nothing to do with it. Unless you can only relate to a character that agrees with your world view.
@@nekonomicon2983They are at fault for giving Buckley the position when he demonstrated no knowledge of what was required of him. It was simply more convenient.
I'd say if I didn't know any better I would say Mr Enter is finally returning back to his old roots. It's about time, I do miss the admirable animations and animated atrocities.
I hope he gets back on Admirable Animation, since when he focuses on Animated Atrocities it made people see his as a negative critic (which he saddly still is) since it damaged his reputation and caused him to loss a lot of respect (including a couple of his animator and editors, yes I'm aware of their actions)
@@whitedarkness5508 I prefer his admirable animations, not just because they are more positive but because he goes over what a work does right. As an aspiring writer, this can be helpful.
One of my favorite moments from King of the Hill was when Hank was talking to Cotton about his anxiety of not knowing whether he'd be able to give Peggy another child, and he asks Cotton what if he fails, to which Cotton responds "well at least you had the fun of trying". It was a really touching moment in the show considering how bitter and abusive Cotton was for his entire life - he was still able to offer Hank fatherly advice. And the character of Cotton being overbearingly harsh, mean, and stuck in his ways interspersed with flashes of genuine heart makes him one of the show's most relatable characters for me, even though he's probably the most cartoonishly antagonistic characters in the entire show. KOTH excels in its character writing, and I think it's one of those shows like The Office which has universal relatability and gets better the more time passes.
I want more cartoons like king of the hill that doesn't rely on cartoony moments , cussing. Just be engaging that everyone remembers the entire episode
I do appreciate how you mentioned that stoicism is not a flaw. I feel like people are so obsessed with the idea “of letting your emotions out” that they forget that sometimes it’s okay not to do so. The ability to stay calm and level headed in situations is equally as important as the ability to be honest with your feelings, and being emotional constantly can cause just as many problems as bottling emotions up.
I respect how this show is slower paced; it made it easy to swallow the realism. It was a cool watch when I was younger. But thank you so much for going over this! It's very useful and insightful.
Hank explaining to Dale that the NRA is in Washington DC literally had me dying of laughter. I decided to rewatch it last year, and I found the show to be more relevant today.
RIP Dale’s actor Johnny Hardwick, also King of the Hill is one of my favorite cartoons, it’s an allegory of suburban America, I’m from Texas and this show kind of portrays our culture, but more in comedic way!
I've heard a ton of times that this is the "Texas slice of life anime" and I've heard countless people say how accurate this is to Texas life as a whole, barring the crazy scenarios. And in terms of slow and slice of life, I love seeing characters develop in a scenario not connected to the plot to boost their character traits. ATLA took this in many scenarios such as Southern Raiders and Tales of Ba Sing Sae. It stinks since many shows want to stay on their plotlines that they forget to take these necessary left turns to see their flows. If you want to see stuff like ATLA with a slow but impactful plot, go watch grave of the fireflies.
As someone who has spent my entire life in Texas, I can vouch for the realism in that regard. I have met so many people who talk exactly like Boomhauer.
As I recall, the whole "anime" bit was a meme that popped up when Toonami had its schedule cut in half, with King of the Hill following the block in one of its former timeslots. This is just from what I personally witnessed on Twitter, though, so I can't say I'm certain on that.
A brand new Admirable Animations video and it's covering King of the Hill?! All I can happily say is BWAAAHHH!!! (Also RIP Johnny Hardwick, thanks for so many memories)
Believe it or not, I personally know someone in my life who is cousins with Greg Daniels, who co-created King Of The Hill with Mike Judge and also who made The Office. American version, anyway. He got the entire Office cast to show up to his bar mitzvah as a result, which was really cool. Paul Lieberstein is also his cousin, but only through marriage, so technically cousin in-law I guess. Only person not at his bar mitzvah was Angela but nobody cares because she is a total btch in real life just like on The Office. Excited for the King Of The Hill continuation btw and also RIP Dale Gribble.
I had a near death experience of my own a bunch of years ago, and this episode definitely helped me out when my thoughts on the subject turned pretty dark, as well as helping sooth my own personal death anxiety. Although the thing that scares me the most about death isn't so much that I will die, but what (if anything) comes after. Like, I'm gonna die, but what of my consciousness? My identity? That is to say-what of me? No afterlife. No feeling, no thought, no perception, no existence. My existence, everything I was, simply disappears. Poof. Gone. Just like that. That is what scares me. Even though when I'm dead, I obviously won't care because I'll be dead, and therefore cease to exist, just like all the billions of years I didn't exist before I was born and all the billions of years I won't exist after I'm gone. But speaking as someone who does exist, the thought of not existing scares the absolute shit out of me. Anyway, this episode of King of The Hill is great and I will continue to enjoy it for as long as I exist.
The Bible says that God breathed life into the dust He'd formed into a man. This dust (the body) was never alive in itself, its life (that was never dead and never will be) came from God who gave it. When the dust that is your body returns to the earth, the life that was given to you returns to God (concisely, life came TO you not from you; when your body becomes useless, your living soul departs from it). "And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." -Ecclesiastes 12:7
@Agent2point5 I really appreciate your comment. You spelled out my exact fears and the rawness and intensity of them, the incongruences and contradictions withstanding. You helped me feel a lot less alone. Thank you. You're not alone either!
Wow uh... that hit a lot harder than I thought So a few years ago I was hit by a car and developed PTSD (or at least, got to the point where it was recognized as such). Two and a half months ago, I lost my grandmother. Lately, I've been struggling with issues related to my PTSD. I did not expect to break down in tears watching this, but I did. And... I think I needed to Good review
Kinda weird to think about how more down to earth this show was when most adult shows today rely so much on "adult humour" that it comes off as forced and grating. How will the revival handle this new world will be fascinating... and depressing knowing the loss of proper good vocal talents in this show.
My dad was a mix of Dale and Hank, so Dale's crazy crap makes me smile bigger than I actually should. I like to think he's talking conspiracies with Mr. Hardwick.
Surprised you doing an episode on KotH that isn't an Animated Atrocity. But honestly, the fact that it can be homey and not too extreme is part of its appeal, along with some of the lessons it tells, is why it's one of my favorite animated shows.
My favorite episode about death from the 2000s is Daria’s “The Misery Chick” In the episode a football graduate returns to be celebrated; he’s arrogant, rude and overall a nasty personality. He then dies in an accident. Many of the students go to Daria for support because they didn’t like him, but they feel guilty about that because he died. Daria comes to the conclusion that while he wasn’t a nice person, he didn’t deserve that to happen to him. I think it’s a great way of how people react to death and the guilt they can feel when that person is complicated.
Death is not an excuse to not care about life, nor is it something one should fear. Death is an excise for why you SHOULD live. Because no matter what your life is destined to end, there is no escape from that. So live and experience what you can with peace and gratitude that you got to at all until it's finally over. And then... at least in my personal belief (we all got one)... you come back as a new life in a new universe in a new time. You only get to live as you exist now once. And that is the beauty of life, it is.
Mr Enter, I would highly recommend the books of Søren Kierkegaard if you’re struggling with death anxiety. Particularly the books “Sickness Unto Death” and “Fear and Trembling”. He’s my favorite philosopher and is very poetic. I hope you check them out, they’re quick reads.
Best part of subtle writing in King of the Hill, is in "Meet The Mange Babies." where she is venting about her father when she talks about Joe Six Pack, and ties in her faith in God with faith in a father figure which is hank. Hell when she is describing Joe Six Pack she basically is talking about her dad, "forgetting her birthday." And during her first show in the Church, she has the Babies punished by being "locked in a closet." which is a punishment she probably suffered. And most likely in real life, and in the show, Hank comes and lets her out.
6:43 I think the only time they let a character be stoic and apathic, is in comedy scenarios where they play "the comically serious" that seemingly has blank reactions to the chaos, or has a "too old for this" aura 9:06 I will need to remember this 9:56 and this phrase "obsessing on death, is death it on itself"
Honestly, it's understandable. Without hearing it, I certainly wouldn't be able to guess the correct pronounciation. It's similar to omnipotent in that aspect. At least he used it right. Plenty of people use epitome in the wrong context.
this episode was a good showcase of PTSD (also the doctor's mislabeling his PTSD as a phobia might actually have been a joke in itself because hurr durr stupid Texans) but I always remember the previous episode for the VERY well placed admonishment of giant corporation's hiring practices and the harm they cause. What Megalomart was doing was horning in on the market of a business and out competing them by selling units at a lower price. How did they do this? By hiring teenagers and entry-level employees that they could pay minimum wage and stocking more product to take advantage of bulk pricing. This practice had served the corporation well up to this point, until they started selling hazardous materials, in this case highly combustible pressurized gas. Those aforementioned minimum wage workers were not trained or qualified in the handling of said hazardous material, and when it went off it went off BIG because they had so much of the stuff in stock.
I always liked that it's characters were down to earth, for the most part. Dale was always my favorite character BECAUSE of how crazy he was, may his voice actor rest in peace for all the joy he brought us as Dale.
That comment about how stoicism doesn't mean absence of emotions reminds me of this quote from God of War 4 when Kratos is accused by his son of not caring for Laufey's death: "Don't mistake my silence for lack of grief. Mourn how you wish, leave me to my own." And when Atreus apologizes, not realizing his father's intents, the latter replies, "How could you? You do not know my ways." People grieve in different ways especially if they're affected by the culture they're raised in. I didn't well-up tears for Zayde when he passed away since I didn't have a strong relationship with him, but when my dog Jake had to be euthanized after almost 15 years, I couldn't stand watching his last breaths and broken down in the car for several minutes.
Makes me think of The Goode Family and why King of the Hill worked so much better; the characters were people before they were conservatives. The Goode family didn't feel like people but the embodiments of the idea of liberalism. It'd be better if they were like average liberals.
It is interesting that propane is sold directly in King of the Hill-the best places to usually get it are Hardware stores and gas stations in suburbia.
When my parents buy propane tanks or get them refilled, it’s always outside the store in question. So that if something like an incompetent employee causing a leak happened, the damage is minimized. Yes, they would prefer no deaths or injuries, but even back when this episode came out, stores knew this could potentially happen and prepared.
This show just represents my childhood. Stiff parents, hot days fucking around with your friends, a lot of conservatives. It's like the cartoon equivalent of lo-fi.
If there's one thing I can say about Mr Enter, it's that the man isn't afraid to grow. I remember when he did his last Admirable Animation on Ed Edd n Eddy, and he said he was done doing them. He made very valid points, but it turned me off of his content for a while. A lot of his work started to feel bleak, angry, and not the fun angry. And the pandemic didn't help anyone on that front. But he keeps trying. He isn't afraid to call out his flaws. And I think he's doing some great work. More nuanced, more creative, and more enjoyable. He was the first cartoon reviewer I came across back in 2015, and I think it's clear he's changed a lot. For the better I think.
King of the Hill was also one of the first western shows to have a continuous narrative wrapped in a somewhat slow-paced status quo environment. Excluding animation limitations, no event that happens in chronological sequence does not gave consequence later on.
I just want to give a shout out to Mike Judge, the creator of King of the Hill. He has never made a terrible project. Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Office Space, Idiocracy, Silicon Valley, Tales from the Tour Bus. All of these shows and movies have something enjoyable about them.
I still remember when these episodes first came out. Fox actually made it a big deal, with this big mystery over the break about who died: Hank, Luanne, Buckley, or Chuck Mangione, with the various characters talking about it. They were great if you can find them.
I know Admirable Animations isn't his favorite series to do but when they do happen I'm very excited to see them. A rare treat that if they were the norm it would lose its charm. Like a shining diamond in garbage other series.

Love how far your channel's come, don't watch as much as I did years ago but it's always fun to tune in when a new upload hits. 👍
It is interesting that propane is sold directly in King of the Hill-the best places to usually get it are Hardware stores and gas stations in suburbia.
RIP Johnny Hardwick (Dale Gribble)
Lots of KoTH episodes are very timely to today's world.
It has aged very well
R.I.P. Legend.
They did a great job with the Sinead O'Connor joke, RIP 🙌
When my parents buy propane tanks or get them refilled, it’s always outside the store in question. So that if something like an incompetent employee causing a leak happened, the damage is minimized. Yes, they would prefer no deaths or injuries, but even back when this episode came out, stores knew this could potentially happen and prepared.
Rest in peace my hero Johnny Hardwick
I learned death isn't scary, it only seems that way
Hopefully Mr enter or John I think that his name will accomplish his goal of making a good king of the hill review
Mr enter do you think the king of the hill revival will be decent
Love your king of the hill videos been subscribed since the splinter. Love to see the return to Japanese epicode
this video is definitely one of your best.
This show just represents my childhood. Stiff parents, hot days fucking around with your friends, a lot of conservatives. It's like the cartoon equivalent of lo-fi.
If there's one thing I can say about Mr Enter, it's that the man isn't afraid to grow. I remember when he did his last Admirable Animation on Ed Edd n Eddy, and he said he was done doing them. He made very valid points, but it turned me off of his content for a while. A lot of his work started to feel bleak, angry, and not the fun angry. And the pandemic didn't help anyone on that front. But he keeps trying. He isn't afraid to call out his flaws. And I think he's doing some great work. More nuanced, more creative, and more enjoyable. He was the first cartoon reviewer I came across back in 2015, and I think it's clear he's changed a lot. For the better I think.
King of the Hill was also one of the first western shows to have a continuous narrative wrapped in a somewhat slow-paced status quo environment. Excluding animation limitations, no event that happens in chronological sequence does not gave consequence later on.
Clicked on the video immediately
Nice to see a King of the Hill video on your channel that's not being killed off by copyright for once.
Seen a few episodes of this show, but wow those episodes went hard!
I just want to give a shout out to Mike Judge, the creator of King of the Hill. He has never made a terrible project. Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Office Space, Idiocracy, Silicon Valley, Tales from the Tour Bus. All of these shows and movies have something enjoyable about them.
The Goode Family.
I need to watch more King Of The Hill
I still remember when these episodes first came out. Fox actually made it a big deal, with this big mystery over the break about who died: Hank, Luanne, Buckley, or Chuck Mangione, with the various characters talking about it. They were great if you can find them.
I absolutely still love king of the Hill. Dale is classic. They all are. Such a great cartoon for adults.

Would love to see an admirable animation on Moral Orel
I know Admirable Animations isn't his favorite series to do but when they do happen I'm very excited to see them. A rare treat that if they were the norm it would lose its charm. Like a shining diamond in garbage other series.
The fireman episode is still my favorite
I feel like your reviews have become more positive lately. I actually kinda like it.
Oh man, I can’t wait for the next episode.
“Dad! Dad! The police are over here lookin’ for you!”
Even if I prefer Mike Judge's other cartoon Beavis and Butthead, I still think King of The Hill is still also a great show, especially if you're older
