This episode foretold the future. Gotta love how it disproves the implicit bias test like a decade before it became the most popular tool to attack people with.
Peggy was a jerk in this episode cause she didn’t take Hank’s side when he needed her
I know what you mean. She turn her back on Hank. And speaking of jerk. The dog trainer is a total jerk.
Well what did you expect? this is Peggy Hill we are talking about! This is the woman who thinks everything she does is right and falsely accused someone of something they did. I mean she didn't even side with Hank when she thought he rented adult videos and even said that he would only listen to her if she removed her shirt and dance funny like those women in those videos. I mean look at that face at 7:41, That face needs to be kicked and punched and slapped at the same time. It no wondering she's the second hated female of the main characters.
She's always a jerk
@@Shlbizzy_21 plus that face she made when reverend talked about black and white crayons
U know, in the pilot episode where twig boy comes in to investigate Hank, we see Lady Bird bark at twig boy after Hank kicks twig boy out the 2nd time
It’s sad a lot of situations that involve false accusations of racism happen irl
How is this a bad episode? It’s yet another warning of how bad things will be in the future. Spot on episode. ❤❤❤❤❤
It poorly addressed an issue and half asked it, y'all seem more worried by the accusations of racism than the actual racism that's hurting and killing marginalized people as well.
We shouldn't judge someone based on a misunderstanding. They should've went to Hank to hear his side of what happened, instead of believing one side, and making the other party a social pariah. That's what this episode taught me.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😌😌😌
Y'all owe Hank a big apology at the end of this episode.
Tbh I'm not sure why Hank didn't just say "She only bit a repairman."
Ladybird bit and killed Bernie Mac
Harvey, could you please discuss the Thanksgiving episode where Bobby had to do a lot of homemaking for his home ec class, but Peggy got weirdly jealous of her own son? That, to me, is Peggy at one of her worst.
Hi Tara! Thank you for your comment! I think that is one of Peggy's less than stellar moments, yes. Though I do have a little bit of sympathy for her, because growing up she was constantly put down by her own mother. So Peggy being a good mother herself is a huge part of her identity. Bobby taking over that role by cooking and cleaning and being better at it (as superficial as it is in the role of a wife and mother) is a bit of a blow to her entire worldview. She took it too far by taking the turkey, but I'm glad her stylist was able to verbalize her frustrations to her and to Hank so they could reconcile those issues. But may do a dive into that episode some time.
I'm feel bad for Hank in that situation and I black. I don't like the fact everybody overreacted Hank pet ladybird bite black dude how in the world did everybody in the church know the situation I hate that episode
Going through racism is tough, and being accused of being racist is a frustrating position to be in.
Seeing this on my subscription page made my day! Your KOTH videos are my favorites on UA-cam
I love how Bill is in the prayer circle/protest in front of Hank's house.
Bill will join anything to try to get friends haha
Makes you wonder who wrote Peggy in this episode. That woman absolutely Hank to death and would go to bat for him every time. So why was she written like THIS?! Why Peggy, of all people, actually believes the mob over her own husband?!
That's a good point. Peggy is a proxy owner of Ladybird so she should get lumped into all this too.
I don’t mind this episode, but that’s because as a Hispanic woman I have seen this all my life. Simple misunderstandings getting blown out of proportion. I mean just look at JK Rowling. She didn’t say anything against transgender people, her tweets simply said there are differences experience between trans women and women but she gets accused of hating them. I actually remember seeing that same test in the news, it was being pushed by the media that it was a good test and people should take it. most people saw this test as stupid and divisive. It later was not only debunked but the guy who made the test was also racist. I love that this episode showed that it was an absurd test before it was debunked.
I'm Hispanic as well, and I grew up in a pretty diverse neighborhood in south Arlington, TX. I rarely saw misunderstandings go _this_ crazy. My main gripe, aside from the ludicrous way the townspeople handled the situation, is that it was solved by effectively allowing an innocent person get mauled by Hank's dog just so Hank could look better.
@@HarveyMcCloud I grow up in California so maybe that is why I have seen things get blown this bad.
Idk how I managed to miss this video! Welcome back. I seriously love your content!
Working on the next one now :)
15:30 Having grown up in Fort Worth, Texas, I can attest to that area being the most diverse part of Texas. It's more diverse than ever; the area I grew up in was predominately Hispanic/Latino area but in recent years, more people of African American and Caucasian people started moving into the West Seminary area.
Could u review that episode where Hank Hill got to anger management class for cutting off Dale's finger, even though it was a complete accident?
Glad I’m not the only person who was always infuriated by this episode
I thought it was funny that Peggy scored “strong preference for black people” and she was super stoked. Hank could do way better than Peggy
@@johnbutt9005 absolutely
Hank is a racist though. He strongly prefers the company of white people
😆😆😆🙄
This episode was pretty hilarious, with a simplistic yet wholesome message, as most of the other great episodes..never gets old...X)
You'd think Peggy would be more grateful for Bill saving her Life.
_And_ for tasting like nachos!
@@HarveyMcCloud 😂 okay, I would be a bit traumatized if that how it went for me.
At first i thought this felt hyperbolic at the time but man is it accurate to real life, except for the positive wrapup
If you think this is a wasted plot, you should see Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo. It features the Love Bug's driver being accused of misogyny by a token female race car driver, whose goal is to prove that she doesn't need a man. It was made in the 1970's, so guess what happens.
Great take of this ep lol i liked this ep
Omg a new video from you AND it's a King of the Hill episode analysis?? Awesome! Keep up the videos and great video content!
Good video. Would love to hear your take on the Megalowmart explosion episode.
Good review, man. I’ve watched a few of your videos in the past, enjoyed them, and checked back to see if you had more, and, yeah, I watched a few more, and they’re great!
I actually saw this episode when it came out, and remember the big thing about it was actually Bernie Mac being in it; most the ads for this episode were pretty much hoping to get views from having Bernie Mac in it, since, if I recall, it was around the time The Bernie Mac show was in full swing (God, I miss that show, and Bernie Mac’s standup).
I agree, I think Kahn’s introduction episode handled this topic better, and I feel the ending to it was also better and heartwarming. The audience already knows Hank isn’t a racist, and you’d assume his friends and family KNOW this, and as a writer, myself, I see where you’re coming from - the episode basically does the “everyone is stupid” trick, and comes off as ham-fisted, more then satirical or ironic.
I’m a huge fan of KOTH, and yeah, the later seasons kinda… they’re hit or miss… This episode does still have a few good jokes, but, yeah, it really isn’t special, other than your pointed out modern comparison; it bothers me that in this day age, yes, people DO, do these weird, social tests (not like the one shown in the episode) on people to kind of see if they might SOMEHOW have racist ideologies, and it’s really unsettling, like asking people personal questions about social politics that they may not even care about, or be comfortable discussing - especially in places like work.
I liked your review, overall, and I get where you’re coming from, man, keep it up! :)
Thank you for your lovely comment :)
@@HarveyMcCloud No problem! Keep up the good work, man! :)
Mocking everyone in a slightly exaggerated way what all Mike Judge originated shows does best, more fun and less preachy than just mocking whoever the authors ideology deem as ''the bad guys'', then you put preaching first and humor second.
My problem with the episode is, It doesn't really fit the King of the Hill universe. After that, the episodes goes back to normal. It's as if it was a public service announcement. You know, forced not organic. That's why it was bad.
I LOL at the Rev talking about praying for Hank Hill’s racist heart. Sometimes the word racist or racism is funny when it comes to jokes here and there.
Good analysis. This is basically the modern day version of the salem witch trials.
I remember going to Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas for Senior Class Trip back in 2019.
Also if I make my own Top 10 Worst Episodes of this show, I’ll be sure to include this episode on the list.
Nice video, by the way! 👍👋
Ooof I feel old. I graduated high school in 2009. Used to have season passes to Six Flags. Can't wait to see your video. Hmu when it's done so I can check it out 😉
I feel like she doesn’t understand that the episode is satire, everyone is acting dumb and that’s the point
I am fully aware King of the Hill is a satire. But you can't just say "it's a satire" as an excuse when the episode itself is bad. Satire can be done poorly too and King of the Hill had many seasons before this where their satire was done extremely well. And they were able to do it without plot contrivances and everyone acting dumb .
@@jaxsmith1204 Then what is the point of this episode? It's okay for your dog to attack someone as long as he's white?
@@jaxsmith1204 No my friend. A comedy of errors works when everyone is acting realistically. Not disregarding reality to the point of absolute stupidity. No narrative can work when characters act beyond the confines of believability, which is what happened here. Hank allowing someone to be victimized by his dog just to absolve himself of wrongdoing isn't a joke. It's just plain asinine even in this episode's narrative. Perhaps _you_ should take a break from the internet and stop assuming someone's stance when you know nothing of their background. I don't know where you're getting this "us white people" stance, because I'm not even white, I'm Hispanic.
Cheers.
@@jaxsmith1204 Grow up, Jax.
People act like that in real life, though.
Could you cover the episode A Firefighting We Will Go? The guys’ dreams of being firemen go horribly wrong because of their off-clock horseplay at the firehouse (even ending with the firehouse burning down).
That does sound like fun. I could analyze why it's never a good idea to move in with friends.
Other ideas for episodes to cover for future KotH videos:
The Texas Skilsaw Massacre
And They Call It Bobby Love (Marie’s antagonist role and behavior in some parts drags down this episode as a whole.)
Nancy Boys
Keeping Up with Our Joneses
Pretty, Pretty Dresses (This episode is particularly bad.)
Hanky Panky/High Anxiety (two-part episode because the latter episode picks up where the former left off)
Yankee Hankee
Sug Night
Talking Shop
Returning Japanese
Tankin’ It to The Streets
Death of a Propane Salesman (both parts of this two-part episode)
Some of these were mentioned in the best or worst episodes videos, but I would like further analysis done on these episodes.
this was the greatest suprise ever in my life!
MTV is disgusting I would walk away too.
Lol this is an awesome video 👍 someone on a Shady Doorags video mentioned another UA-camr did a video on this episodee, dunno if it was referring to you
Really? I'll have to check it out. I love me some Shady!
yessss my wish came true
also cant wait for lost in myspace
That's going to be a fun one. I actually met my husband on MySpace.
@@HarveyMcCloud oh dope, i met my gf on Farmers Only
SHOUTS OUT TO THE MAC MAN
You're playing King of the Hill
And you're supprised with the number of people who liked the video?
I disliked this episode until the twist where Ladybird started attacking the white repairmen haha, all the previous logic was so dumb until "Ladybird hates repairmen because Hank hates repairmen" haha
Its one of those episodes is kind of fun to watch but not taken seriously
Cool
Meh, episode was funny to me. Never seen anyone have a issue with it till now.
I always thought it was a slog
@@OfLanceTheLonginus just seemed like a normal Hank at work episode this time with a special guest.
Hi I’m Black and I approve this message Lol
I watch your videos repeatedly great job 💯💯
The other characters were pricks in this epsiode
This is so stupid I want to watch full episodes of King of the Hill
13:54.
I heavily disagree, Consequences and compassion can fight hate.
By being overly lenient towards it, prejudiced people and actions can get away scot free while the hate can still exist.
And throwing around the term "mob mentality" can go 2 ways within realizing it with other like minded people who pretend they're experts on discussion topics pretaining to race.
The episode in discussion was just another poorly made episode and that Hank really needs to keep his dog on a tight leash if she's going to attack trained professionals, trying to do their job.
Thank you for your comment. Though I'm not sure about what I said at the timestamp is contradictory to what you wrote. It sounds like we're on the same page here.
Huge fan of u lady, respect ur swaggg
😂😂 this episode was hilarious
It was funny get over it.
It wasn't.
Nah girl ur doing to much. It’s just like any other episode.
Well tbh people being very sub conscious about what other people think is very realistic. I will agree it was done kinda poorly though. The situation wasnt that realistic but the reactions were. Especially ladyburg an old dog picking up on Hanks subconscious cues. But tbh it wasnt that bothersome for me. Hank is a suburban Democratic European and the show revolves around that perspective. Some akward stuff around race is expected and honestly the episode was kinda funny.
You took a very simplistic view of a very complex subject. After listening to you talk about the three people of color in that episode, i'm not so sure if you should be the one talking passing judgement.
🤨
This is your brain on Twitter
Uh, I mean, a bad episode is a bad episode….rather or not it applies to you shouldn’t be a factor that prevents you from giving criticism. After all, “you don’t need to be a pilot to see a plane crash”
Also she was saying that Hank in the past is shown to have racial tolerance, that’s why she brought attention to that
