As a Thanksgiving special we're taking a quick look at the show's first Thanksgiving episode, Happy Hank's Giving. You, yes you, can support us on Patreon: / squirreltactics
So, as many of you can tell, certain parts of the video had to be cut due to copyright, we tried to keep as much in as possible, but if you don't see a part you particularly enjoyed, that's probably why.
Wait, so they are more likely to take down a video if it has certain parts of an episode in it? Why aren't they equally concerned about any part of the episode?
@@greywolf7577 What matters is the amount of footage used and in what context. Some points may have been argued as not contributing anything to the clip, meaning the clip can't be used. They also may have thought he just included too much of the episode in chronological order.
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the precision and absurdity the bomb squad used to send a turkey leg roughly 100 yards and hit the very window Hank was sitting at.
This makes a bit more sense if you subscribe to my theory that Arlen is somewhere between Austin and Houston. That would make Dallas like a 4 hour drive, longer in the freezing rain (but it does beg the question why they’re flying out of Dallas and not Houston in this episode - cheap tickets maybe?)
1:47 It actually makes a lot of sense. Peggy's brother was clearly spoiled his entire childhood and never grew to know responsibility. Hence how he ended up in prison, being a terrible father.
I just love how Kahn was a right prick to Hank, but Hank still just says to have a good holiday, and Kahn is just "😊 oh yeah you too" hahahah so festive.
Hank not buying Luanne's plane ticket and not considering her part of the family is probably the worst thing he ever does in the entirety of the show. like it's just diabolically evil.
@@SirBlackReedsTo be fair about the cigarette thing, it was a very old school method designed to make the kid never want another cigarette again. Not the most effective method, but that's most likely how he was raised. Of course, if Cotton did it to Hank as a kid, it was probably just to make Hank feel ill instead of convincing him to quit.
3 things that make this episode nostalgic/show its age: 1. Boomhauer and Dale being horrified that the Platters want to eat at a restaurant for Thanksgiving 2. NBC's annual Thanksgiving showing of _Home Alone_ (damn that third football game!) 3. Hank trying to get his propane on the plane (what would TSA do to him today? 😬)
Not to be that person, but you actually totally can transport propane on the plane. New or empty containers only though, and he'd have to communicate with TSA beforehand, I believe.
No. I don't think that was a retcon. It seemed like Peggy was making up the whole oil rig thing from the beginning. I think he would've at least been able to take a couple days off to visit his daughter. But he never did.
Agreed the joke from the pilot and several other episodes is that he left immediately after Leanne attacked him. I can buy him committing a crime and Luanne not realizing it but I can’t believe Hank would not have heard about it. I get the Hills are portrayed as not being super close to them, but they’re in the same county. Hank would have heard about it.
Hank was wrong to say Luanne isn't family when she certainly is i really did like this episode it was interesting seeing everyone getting together and celebrating Thanksgiving in the airport 🦃🍲🥘
To your point about Hoyt not being the favorite due to his incarceration. I can tell you from personal experience that that can absolutely be the case. The mother becomes so overprotective of their incarcerated son that they end up belittling their other children. Just wanted to point it out. Love the vids!
Reminds me of my dad's family. Out of all 13 siblings, the oldest brother (who is a sociopath, sexually assaulted his 5 sisters, a pedophile (sexually assaulted his own daughter when she was a kid) and was incarcerated for the incident with his daughter) ended up being the most admired by their parents
@@OzmaBara1988Except for the sexual assault and pedophilia, you could be describing P. Harry. He's a royal f*ck up but he's still daddy's little boy. 🙄🤨
The Thing that really doesn't make any sense is the fact that they blew up his Turkey but didn't say anything about his propane tank, you have to empty it before you get on a plane And it's been like that since long before 911
I actually like that they stay the airport in the end. Gives it a more original ending than what other shows and their Thanksgiving episodes. It always ends with dinner at the table and a big turkey in the center.
Good on Peggy for telling Hank off about not getting Luanne a plane ticket while Luanne isn't Hank's kid, she's still part of the family and it is dumb that they retcon Peggy's mom badly while they retcon Dale's dad right difference is that we already knew a few things about Peggy's mom while we knew nothing about Dale's dad also Khan coning his way to get free food was great
As someone who has flown out of dfw in good weather i completely understand hank wanting to get there early that airport is massive we had to find a wheel chair and an employee to keep our grandma up with us 😂
@5:29 Hank: --That's Strike 1. Peggy: What? Ugh, don't stare with that basebal-- Hank: That's 2! Bobby: What happens when he gets to 3? Peggy: He doesn't know. Get's me every damn time because they really dunno what they're gonna do besides be mad 😂😂
This is a great episode to watch on Thanksgiving. Thanks for talking about the episode man, keep up the great work and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Take care!
This episode shows it's age because TWA is still a thing. And the joke with John Redcorn and Nancy slowly rising up from behind the seat after Dale leaves is sitll the best moment for me.
Dale could have a dang ol cobra wearing a top hat in his pocket and I still wouldn’t question it. Also Hank always feels uncomfortable with unclear or excessive feelings, despite the fact that he does regularly interpret Luanne as his daughter
I know Hank is a good man but I've never gotten why he gave that other family the space on the bus. They weren't being dirty. Why would he voluntarily screw his own family.
@@ianfinrir8724 yeah, I think he might have. Still though. It's one of the things that Hank did that bothered me. He didn't know that all would work out on the end.
Hank realized on that bus as he was looking out at that small pathetic family that that guy who he just screwed over cannot get any form of erection I mean Hank has a narrow urethra but at least we know he can get hard.
It sort of makes sense for Luanne because she didn’t know her Dad was in Prison but Peggy mentioning her Brother doesn’t make any sense unless the guys at the Ranch were also her Brothers.
This was low of hank for nearly leaving luanne alone on Thanksgiving without zero shits Givin! Not only does he pay for an expensive day of flight ticket and get delayed in the rain, hank gets his turkey blown up!
I feel like so much of this episode was full of a bunch of dumb moves on Hank’s part which led to the ultimate conclusion. He decides to smoke his turkey in Arlen rather than wait until they’re in Montana where he really could have stuck it to Mother Platter, brings a full tank of propane (along with the turkey) to be loaded into the plane, and complains about the price of Luanne’s ticket when he intentionally didn’t get one for her. For being the “voice of reason,” Hank was not using his head that day.
I chuckled a little at the restaurant line given I had to work on Thanksgiving at a restaurant for the past 13 years. I guess all restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving in Texas.
@@aaronthomson3639 I think they just see Thanksgiving as so much of a family thing that it requires home cooking or something. I know people who prefer to eat at a restaurant for Thanksgiving
My big sticking point in this one is with Hank. Why on earth does Hank feel the need to take a smoked turkey to Montana just to prove a point to Peggy's mom? I know Hank loves to evangelize about Propane, but this whole thing seems impractical. Do they have refrigeration in cargo holds on planes? I don't know how long it is from Dallas to Montana, but I'll. bet turkey would be spoiled by the time they got there. JMO:)
You know I've watched this episode so many times before but it never really dawned on me until you pointed out that they really could have just driven somewhere to eat or gone back to Arlen all together.
The bomb squad blowing up Hank's turkey isn't the famous Turkey Drop at Pine Dell Mall in WKRP in Cincinnati, but it's definitely second on my list of hilarious holiday-related scenes.
Just want to correct something in the video: Hoyt is not in prison. He works on an oil rig. I believe it's the same oil rig where Dale's Jamaican grandmother worked. Seriously though, love your videos. Subbed.
"and this tank of propane." "Aw man!" "Don't worry, that WAS in my sight." jumpcut "They let that woman take an oxygen tank!" >_> Haaaaank, propane is flammable, you KNOW it's flammable. You work with propane, there's no possible way you couldn't have known combustible liquids aren't allowed on airlines. PLOT HOLES!
To answer the why didn't they just leave question, it's Texas. People in Texas can't drive in the snow. I remember when it snowed a quarter inch between Atlanta and Pell City AL twentyish years ago and it was mass chaos along I-20, I-59, I-75, 285, and everywhere in between.
1:47 oh you sweet summer child. Is this what it's like to not grow up in a dysfunctional family? I guess it makes sense to me because my mom absolutely adores her sons, especially the oldest and youngest. They can do no wrong. So I can definitely see how a spoiled man child can be mom's favorite but still be a screw up in life lol
@squirreltactics we had that too unfortunately 😢 Sucks so many people and children go through that 😞 Great videos. I love KOTH, probably my favorite show. :)
Hank's whole "I bought tickets for the family, every Hill family member has a ticket" is maybe the most autistic thing Hank says in the entire show, and I don't mean that as an insult - just that some people theorize Hank is on the spectrum. It's like a kind of literal logic - since Luanne isn't his wife or a blood relative she's not his family so he didn't buy her a ticket. He SHOULD have bought her one, but I can totally see someone on the spectrum doing the same thing as Hank and not understanding the issue, because he literally bought tickets for his family, which Luanne could be considered not part of since she's his wife's blood relative and not his. Again he SHOULD have bought her one, but I get his literal-minded line of thinking.
One time when I was in middle school, my family went to a restaurant for Thanksgiving for reasons no one bothered to explain to me because I was in middle school and one day when I was in high school I mentioned it in passing and everyone got mad that I brought it up and also claimed not to remember it, so I guess the family must have had an unspoken agreement that we don't talk about it that I never caught on to because I'm bad at picking up social cues. I wonder what the deal with that was.
Weird seeing the comments shocked to see Hank being distant to Luanne. He's always been like that to her like when he thought it was his last words he said and I quote "to a lesser extent!". Guess that headcanon that he loves her like a daughter was wider spread than we thought, haven't seen a wrong memory that mainstream since people believing Raven x Beastboy was a thing in the original teen titans show.
I traveled to vegas during the holiday season getting off from the dfw Airport. Nowhere near as messed up as what he hills went through despite the fact that i was in my self deletion phase that year
@@squirreltactics I'm glad I had friends to help me. When i would say "It's fine. I'm happy" and they would say "But that's wrong" and help me understand why it is completely not true and how to work on myself
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 It's always good to have a support system. A lot of us go through dark times, trust me I know, but even the darkest of nights come to an end. Seriously, I'm glad to hear you're doing better.
The part about this episode I don't understand is why couldn't hank just cook a turkey there. There has to be propane out there, same for a turkey. Him cooking a turkey and taking it all the way out there is absolutely stuoid
5:03 hear me out. What if this episode Dale was snooping around Denver International Airport. Or Dale trying to connect all of the DIA conspiracies to Dallas airport.
@@sunny-lm2np you know what airports do right? They connect you to other airports. DIA is the busiest airport in America so have a layover in Denver. They can even fly from Dallas if that’s a concept you can’t comprehend.
Hank talking about using gum so his ears don’t pop came in handy for me. I live in Minnesota and the only time I ever flown in my life was to visit my aunt in San Jose, California. I remember the takeoff going to California, my ears popped and it actually kinda hurt. So I remember on the flight home, before I boarded the plane, I bought some gum to chew on takeoff because I thought of what Hank Hill said in that scene. BTW, for those who have never flown before, it totally works.
Not for me it doesn't :-/ I need yawns and even then it doesn't always work. It bugs me driving through mountains but flying was a piece of cake. Maybe I'm weird?
My one issue with the story is that shouldn't Luanne's father have been the one to pay for her ticket, assuming he arranged her visit? I know that retcon about him being in prison retroactively explains it, but there's no explanation here. Even if he somehow couldn't afford it, it's weird for everyone to assume Hank would pay without telling him.
Technically the first Thanksgiving episode was Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men. Even then, it's only a Thanksgiving Special for the first 10 or so minutes before it segues into Black Friday for the rest of the episode. It's like Season 5's Twas The Nuts Before Christmas (which was a Christmas and a half Special)
You are correct, NPDAM did slip in a season before, and when I decided to do a Thanksgiving Special, I almost dud that episode but chose HHG simply for the John Redcorn quote. However, NPDAM is the plan for the next one.
I just figured Peggy’s brother was being released for the holidays. And when he went to the hospital after getting stabbed, they were probably an outstanding warrant for him.
So, as many of you can tell, certain parts of the video had to be cut due to copyright, we tried to keep as much in as possible, but if you don't see a part you particularly enjoyed, that's probably why.
oh, ok

Ah yes, post-9/11 paranoia.
Nobody questions why Dale has Yams.
The man who has sand in his pocket is the man who's always prepared.
I have a can of yams is one of my favorite Dale Gribble’s quotes
Shi sha!
Well the sand makes sense
LOL reminds me of the Anakin "I don't like sand" gif that has Dale pop in at the end with pocket sand 😂😂😂
He took it from the Admiral room.
It honestly never occurred to me they could just go home and I've seen this episode several times
I figured they were probably waiting out the storm.
This makes a bit more sense if you subscribe to my theory that Arlen is somewhere between Austin and Houston. That would make Dallas like a 4 hour drive, longer in the freezing rain (but it does beg the question why they’re flying out of Dallas and not Houston in this episode - cheap tickets maybe?)
@@an0gr0br Montana isn't really the end all be all spots to fly too
logical choice is thats the airport that offered the flights choices for cheaper.

@@alfredhinton8792 You’d be surprised. My Dad owned a bar
I work at a airport, maybe back then, but today, it's December 22nd to January 6th
This episode always stuck with me when I was younger. The ending specifically. It made me understand that even your closest friends are family to you.
1:47 It actually makes a lot of sense. Peggy's brother was clearly spoiled his entire childhood and never grew to know responsibility. Hence how he ended up in prison, being a terrible father.
Honestly I’m sure Peggy’s family could be that messed up that her mother’s favorite is her brother who’s a convicted felon.
So the turkey raised alarms but not a pressurized cannister of flammable gas? Ladies and gentlemen... the TSA
Keep in mind this was also pre-9/11
I just love how Kahn was a right prick to Hank, but Hank still just says to have a good holiday, and Kahn is just
"😊 oh yeah you too" hahahah so festive.
Lmao Boomhauer saying "Dang ole... cold shower" then holding up a massive bag of nuts. Idk if that was intentional or not but it made me laugh still.
And the nuts were blue.
Hank not buying Luanne's plane ticket and not considering her part of the family is probably the worst thing he ever does in the entirety of the show. like it's just diabolically evil.
Worse than Hank denying Bill a visit to a therapist because he's just suicidal? Or Hank making Bobby smoke enough cigarettes to vomit?
@@SirBlackReedsTo be fair about the cigarette thing, it was a very old school method designed to make the kid never want another cigarette again. Not the most effective method, but that's most likely how he was raised. Of course, if Cotton did it to Hank as a kid, it was probably just to make Hank feel ill instead of convincing him to quit.
He and Peggy smoked until Bobby was born so of course it didn’t work
Don't forget him not caring about Luanne being asked to join the mile high club.
@@K-dawg26 hank didn’t know what that was. He thought it was a literal club that you sign up for
3 things that make this episode nostalgic/show its age:
1. Boomhauer and Dale being horrified that the Platters want to eat at a restaurant for Thanksgiving
2. NBC's annual Thanksgiving showing of _Home Alone_ (damn that third football game!)
3. Hank trying to get his propane on the plane (what would TSA do to him today? 😬)
I like how the episode that Hank, the biggest stick in the mud in television, likes Home Alone
Not to be that person, but you actually totally can transport propane on the plane. New or empty containers only though, and he'd have to communicate with TSA beforehand, I believe.
4. Being able to store the propane tank in a locker at airport gates.
That first one doesn't make the episode show its age.
I love at 3:33 hank isn’t even ruffled by the insult and Kahn wishes him a happy thanksgiving back. They’re just used to this shit by now.
And the iconic "Dad, the fuck?" look on Connie's face.
they're frenemies ^^
It's like when Kahn cusses out Hank in "Laotion" and Hank is just like "Yeah, yeah, I'm a broiled ox penis "
I always figured everybody was waiting out the storm at the end of the episode.
Baller move from Kahn tho, pretending to be a district manager
A very relatable thanksgiving episode.
2:35 Sometimes even Hank Hill himself needs someone to kick his ass.
You said it
I believe Luanne's father being a convict was a massive retcon.
Retcon
I personally believe that Hoyt had just gotten out of prison for the first time but had gotten himself put back in after Thanksgiving.
No. I don't think that was a retcon. It seemed like Peggy was making up the whole oil rig thing from the beginning. I think he would've at least been able to take a couple days off to visit his daughter. But he never did.
Agreed the joke from the pilot and several other episodes is that he left immediately after Leanne attacked him. I can buy him committing a crime and Luanne not realizing it but I can’t believe Hank would not have heard about it.

This is the best Thanksgiving episode

From now on when I need to get something done I'm gonna say "we're doing it your way Peggy the dirty way"

Just wanted to point it out. Love the vids!
Makes me think of Breaking Bad where Jesse’s little brother tells him how he’s all their parents talk about
To my hat into the ring, Peggy could've been speaking hypothetically.
Reminds me of my dad's family. Out of all 13 siblings, the oldest brother (who is a sociopath, sexually assaulted his 5 sisters, a pedophile (sexually assaulted his own daughter when she was a kid) and was incarcerated for the incident with his daughter) ended up being the most admired by their parents

Indeed. Some parents will turn a blind eye and pull all kinds of mental contortions to rationalize their favorite child’s behavior.
Happy Thanksgiving!

One time when I was in middle school, my family went to a restaurant for Thanksgiving for reasons no one bothered to explain to me because I was in middle school and one day when I was in high school I mentioned it in passing and everyone got mad that I brought it up and also claimed not to remember it, so I guess the family must have had an unspoken agreement that we don't talk about it that I never caught on to because I'm bad at picking up social cues.
I wonder what the deal with that was.
This was my favorite episode.
This episode is a sorta spoof on planes trains and automobiles. Like that movie this is a thanksgiving favorite
Weird seeing the comments shocked to see Hank being distant to Luanne. He's always been like that to her like when he thought it was his last words he said and I quote "to a lesser extent!". Guess that headcanon that he loves her like a daughter was wider spread than we thought, haven't seen a wrong memory that mainstream since people believing Raven x Beastboy was a thing in the original teen titans show.
Literally every member of Peggy's family was retconned in later episodes.
They would have arrived
in Montana in a day if they
DROVE there. 🤷
Yeah but it would be a 20+ hour drive.
@@squirreltacticsBut Hank would get to pretend he's a trucker.
@@ianfinrir8724Even truckers can't (legally, anyway) do it in one day.
@@squirreltactics Yeah, 20+ hour drives can wipe you out. I've driven from California to Texas and back before.
New subscribers love your videos 👍
Much appreciated
I’ve always wondered how did that small pizza feed all of them? 🤔
I traveled to vegas during the holiday season getting off from the dfw Airport. Nowhere near as messed up as what he hills went through despite the fact that i was in my self deletion phase that year
Glad you're not in that phase anymore. Keep on keeping on.
@@squirreltactics I'm glad I had friends to help me. When i would say "It's fine. I'm happy" and they would say "But that's wrong" and help me understand why it is completely not true and how to work on myself
@@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881 It's always good to have a support system. A lot of us go through dark times, trust me I know, but even the darkest of nights come to an end. Seriously, I'm glad to hear you're doing better.
I have a can of yams-Dale Gribble
I always love that line! So funny.
@@TheWedabestfavorite Dale line
@@claymathewselevator8121 yeah it's absolutely fun. So random too.
I don’t even have an Uncle Stan
Stan Dauterive
Hank letting Bobby eat salad seems out of character
The part about this episode I don't understand is why couldn't hank just cook a turkey there. There has to be propane out there, same for a turkey. Him cooking a turkey and taking it all the way out there is absolutely stuoid
It's a big juicy plot device, I'll tell you what.
Smoking a turkey takes awhile. Hank was pretty smart to smoke it in Arlen and then carry it on the plane.
@@ianfinrir8724wouldn't get cold anyway?
@@Eric6761Depends on how well the box is insulated.
5:03 hear me out. What if this episode Dale was snooping around Denver International Airport. Or Dale trying to connect all of the DIA conspiracies to Dallas airport.
@@sunny-lm2np you know what airports do right? They connect you to other airports. DIA is the busiest airport in America so have a layover in Denver. They can even fly from Dallas if that’s a concept you can’t comprehend.
Hank talking about using gum so his ears don’t pop came in handy for me. I live in Minnesota and the only time I ever flown in my life was to visit my aunt in San Jose, California. I remember the takeoff going to California, my ears popped and it actually kinda hurt. So I remember on the flight home, before I boarded the plane, I bought some gum to chew on takeoff because I thought of what Hank Hill said in that scene.
BTW, for those who have never flown before, it totally works.
It's definitely great advice.
Not for me it doesn't :-/ I need yawns and even then it doesn't always work. It bugs me driving through mountains but flying was a piece of cake. Maybe I'm weird?
My one issue with the story is that shouldn't Luanne's father have been the one to pay for her ticket, assuming he arranged her visit? I know that retcon about him being in prison retroactively explains it, but there's no explanation here. Even if he somehow couldn't afford it, it's weird for everyone to assume Hank would pay without telling him.
Her dad has always been in prison though hasnt he?
Or did they say something else in the early seasons?
@@ZeranZeran That was something of a retcon.
It's simple Peggy sees Luanne as another child of hers. This for right or wrong she would assume Hank would buy her a ticket.b
@@ZeranZeranOriginally, Luanne's daddy was hiding out on an offshore oil rig and wasn't coming back until Hank faxes him Leanne's death certificate.
Technically the first Thanksgiving episode was Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men. Even then, it's only a Thanksgiving Special for the first 10 or so minutes before it segues into Black Friday for the rest of the episode. It's like Season 5's Twas The Nuts Before Christmas (which was a Christmas and a half Special)
You are correct, NPDAM did slip in a season before, and when I decided to do a Thanksgiving Special, I almost dud that episode but chose HHG simply for the John Redcorn quote. However, NPDAM is the plan for the next one.
I just figured Peggy’s brother was being released for the holidays. And when he went to the hospital after getting stabbed, they were probably an outstanding warrant for him.
