Any idea of a site that has the Japanese king of the hill with English audio? I use a Russian fan site but it only has a few episodes with English Subs.
Fun fact: Mike Judge confirmed in an interview that Dale didn't scream after having his finger severed from pain or even from the horror of the bodily mutilation. He screamed because he was physically seperated from his source of tobacco smoke.
@@trypticon8619because of the bug spray he constantly inhales as an exterminatir, he is in a constant state of lucid dreaming while simultaneously being awake. He can take damage that would kill a person but if he just dreams that he's okay his body recovers.
You’ve missed a large power that Dale Possesses even when completely unarmed Dale can completely blind and immobilize his opponent with his mastery of Pocket Sand.
Now I may be wrong, but judging by the infamous “Pocket Sand” scene. As well as the fact that he can lift a 200+ pound sewer lid with ease, I believe that it’s quite possible that Dale has the strength to crush a rock into sand with his bare hands. Which he can then store in his pockets, leaving him with an infinite amount of pocket sand to temporarily blind his enemies. Which could be crucial in a serious battle, so I believe that could add an extra .5% to Dale’s total power.
I took it as knowing what books a person has read can lead to finding out passwords and traits they may have picked up from said book. So he just says A BOOK to give no info besides that he can, in fact, read.
lets be completely honest here, when Dale was charged by that deer he was only acting and threw the gun perfectly to his son to allow him to grow into a true man, whose earned dales superior genetics.
@@jackbishop8610 Yes, Dale's genetics... Which were perfectly copied by aliens that then used the genetic code to impregnate Nancy. Didn't you pay attention to the show?
I noticed the second time he showed that clip that as soon as the deer was felled he IMMEDIATELY went from full blown "panic" to cheering for his son. All according to Keikaku.
Came back here to pay my respects to this great man and one of if the greatest tv characters ever. Rest in peace Johnny Hardwick aka Dale Gribble aka Rusty Shackleford. You will be sorely missed.
The way Dale sees himself, tall and muscular with flowing locks, is what he actually looks like. His lanky, balding appearance is just another illusion to conceal his true power.
@Nero Wynn yeah!! I came here to say this. He has his son's love and will never divorce Nancy. John redcorn might get to fuck Nancy, but she'll never be his wife, and he will never have a relationship with his biological son.
His death really hit me hard. I was really looking forward to the new episodes because of Dale and what he has to say about the present times. I know they did some episodes with him and recorded some material. I'm sure they'll do his character right and give him a proper goodbye. I also miss Britney Murphy she was such a beautiful person. Very talented too.
Unless he had a pre nuptial agreement Bill keeping the house is the least believable part of the entire show. I've been through family court and even if you had a video of your exwife giving the judge a "favor" while injecting heroin and plotting to murder the kids a guy still won't win.
The man is a chain smoker yet still has the cardiovascular endurance to escape a angry group of Dallas cowboy fans by parkouring up a tree and over Hanks fence
I love this. Most breakdowns of dale either discuss how sad of a character he is or try to defend that he's not THAT sad of a character. I think you tapped into a more logical reality.
One thing I believe you neglected to mention in season 9 is that Dale reveals to a DMV worker that he has not only a 3-way phone, but a vast network of allies as well, that reaches to the president of the United States of America. This gives him access to one of the greatest forces in human history: the power of friendship. Now, while he does have access to this power with just his alleyway group of guys, it should go without saying that with more friends, the power of friendship grows stronger, and the more powerful the friends, the more powerful the boost.
Read someplace that Dale is not only an exterminator... but he is, in fact, an EX-Terminator. As in a T-1000. His character design is based on Robert Patrick's T-1000 liquid metal antagonist in Terminator 2 - the slight frame (though liberties were taken with Dale's waistline), his shades, his flexibility, strength and knowledge of multiple languages and weapons all point to this being true.

Thank you for reminding me about the scene with Dale telling the cops to let Bobby take the shot. It shows that Dale has a great deal of respect for Bobby's talents as a marksman, a fact about the character that's forgotten about for a majority of the series.
I theorize that was actually another one of his ploys to seem vulnerable, rather than actually being caught unaware. If anything, with enough cigarettes he could've grown that finger back in no time, but chose instead to both seem vulnerable and to get back at Hank for not being keenly aware of his surroundings in a moment of anger.
Besides the blue stipes, those mushrooms look more like destroying angels. He didn't eat hallucinogenic mushrooms. He ate extremely deadly mushrooms, and they made him hallucinate.
@@kingkraken5740 Of course! Why else would he personally taste test all the pesticides and chemicals that he did? He just can’t get enough of that unique flavor!
Something to note about medieval plate armor: it's not nearly as restrictive as most people think. While it is heavy, the weight is well distributed over the wearer's whole body, and it still allows a surprisingly flexible range of motion. Skilled fighters from the time could move nearly as fast in full plate as they would unencumbered. This means that Mighty Knight Dale's speed and agility penalties could be almost entirely negated with the proper training, making him insanely overpowered.
A suit of armor will (should, if it's made FOR you) be more flexible than you are. It would make no sense to make the limits of the armor any less than the limits of the person wearing it. Yes, extremely heavy, but not restrictive in the slightest. (besides, of course, the weight) The most restrictive part about a suit of armor is usually the leather padding you wear under it.
He was walking around in a suit of armor that was made for someone Bills size. He was trying not to bend the metal as he moved around, making it cumbersome.
I think that dale as an exterminator is leveraging a principle similar to the “sword logic” of the Destiny universe where one can increase their power by killing weaker beings. Who knows how powerful he could grow if dale was left to continuously annihilate Arland’s bugs.
With that logic, the reason that he slowly but steadily increase his power is because the bugs don't provide to much power, but the sheer quantity Dale has killed gives him his powers
I believe there was a power move you missed back in season 6 episode 2, where it's revealed he learned the attack "pocket sand" that can instantly disable an enemy and it has a 100% chance to hit.
Texas Fireant venom has neurotoxin in it. It physically scars you when you get bit, en mass they actually destroy the skin semi permanently. The fact that his scarring didn't last is incredible.
There's one major issue with your hypothesis. The scene in which Dale jumps to swat at Bill, he jumps and this does show that he CAN move at double the speed of a normal person but he also lands twice as fast. This CLEARLY shows that Dale is able to manipulate the forces of gravity localized within his area of influence.
Or just a testament of the power of his swat forcing his body back to the ground perhaps realizing that if he actually jumps the 5 feet it be too obvious
@@kgpspyguy He could've easily shot the dear himself but chose to create a high stress situation to see if his son also possessed the gift of Gribble, which although Joseph is not his biological son, he's attained some of Dale's power from exposure.
@@SirDudeGuyManBro Joseph is Dale's son dale has Indian ancestors and his dna was taken by aliens to then impregnate his wife Same with his daughter that he didnt want bill raising
I mean, the creators were probably not accounting for the weight of the manhole covers (Que the tools being used by the city maintenance implying they know how it works) *Ok, I’m convinced*
I’m only at the 16 minute mark, but I just realized Dayle must be a reality warper or Time & Dimension traveler. As he knew he was being spied on, trying to record and collect all of his information, and it turned out to be you.
that explains why he had all those mistakes. he KNEW he was being watched and that people were onto him, so he faked being afraid, got his finger cut off, all of it. King of the Hill was never Hank, it was Dale all along
Dale not even flinching at the garage explosion shows that hes incredibly adept and use to high pressure situations. The other instances when he shows to cower or crack under pressure i.e when the deer charges at him was him hiding his power once again. Notice how he threw the gun in the air and it landed directly into his son-ish arms. Everything was calculated from the getgo as everything normally is by himm possibly even his own birth
20:23 in this scene Dale's mastery of another language is impressive, but the most powerful part is him instantly setting that mouse trap one handed, perfectly tossing it gently enough to not set it off and yet perfectly enough for that scurrying rat to be unable to avoid it. Setting it one handed,with the way a mechanical mousetrap functions, is nigh on impossible without snapping it shut on your fingers unless you had PERFECT dexterity, grip strength and finger flexibility... but to toss it with it still being set upon landing any kind of distance would take absolute muscle control on a godlike level. Also, he didn't land the trap on the rat (although at this point we know he undoubtedly could have) but rather landed it where the rat was going to be in the near future. We know this because the trap had no bait, therefore no incentive for the rat to inspect it. It had already decided to run that direction. Predicting which way a rat will run at night in a dark alley is impossible, as they run for the dark and everything is dark at that place and time. As a matter of fact even noticing the rat would be relatively powerful considering he'd have to keep his attention on his contact and all of his surroundings at the same time. This means only one of two thing: 1. Dale is so perceptive he can spot objects in absolute darkness and even differentiate between miniscule differences in shadow level while doing this with every single thing in his field of view, or 2. He is blatantly displaying for an observer a small act of PRECOGNITION, making him a telepath as well as his other abilities. If you want my opinion....it's both. BTW, subbed.
What we’re all glossing over is the fact that hank’s table saw is SO POWERFUL that it can damage a supreme being such as Dale as though they were plain cedar Edit: For those saying that Dale allowed himself to be damaged, this would be completely out of character. Dale is a supreme being with a supreme ego, he is aware of his power, and constantly flaunts it throughout the series.
Hanks table saw was probably maintained by hank according to the manual, by hank himself....its def going to be a lot better than damn near every table saw.
The fact the saw's safety features didn't activate is testimate that Dale's skin is not like any other flesh. Or he was able to subtly move his finger faster than the saw's flesh detection which is faster than a fraction of a second.
@@zm1786 that’s still cheating tho, just because you ignore it doesn’t make it not cheating. That’s my whole point. If they had an actual open discussion about it and both explicitly consent/are ok with it, *thats* an open or polyamorous thing. Dale may know about it, but his wife doesn’t know that he knows, which is evident since she keeps it a secret for the most part. Open marriage requires open communication. That’s really the beginning and end of it.
Why do you think John Red Corn never just took his girl? Why all the sneaking? Because Natives Americans can sense power levels naturally, because they have special nature powers.
Theory: Dale gets his power from the toxins he builds up in his system. The evidence is his impossible cigarette consumption, habit of consuming pesticides, possible exposure to nuclear radiation, etc.
Children be like: "haha your favorite protaganist cant beat goku tho" It still utterly shocks me that so many people still live in ignorance of the true power of Dale Gribble
Very true, considering it took like 5 people just to use one infinity stone in Guardians of the Galaxy, though since Quill is the offspring of a Celestial it's entirely possible that if he wasnt there it could take dozens of people to use a infinity stone without harming/killing some of the 'users' of said infinity stone
@10:50 Dale didn't get scared and throw his gun out of fear, he's spin threw his rifle perfectly into his adopted sons hands so that Joseph could kill his first deer 🦌 by saving the father he loved. It was one of the most beautiful moments of television between a father and son.
Joseph isn’t adopted... he’s the biological love child of John redcorn and Dale’s wife who have an ongoing affair through the series and Dale legitimately believes that Joseph is his biological son
Yeah, if Dale was actually startled by the buck the natural instinct would be to fire. But instead he tosses his gun precisely into joseph's hands, proving that not only is he unfazed by the 10-point buck charging him, but that he is focused and committed to his mission of training his son. He knew that even if joseph missed his shot, he would be able to take on the buck with his bare hands.
@@bradceplina Nah, Dale used his form changing abilities to become biologically Native American and conceive Joseph. He uses John Redcorn to keep Nancy distracted so she doesn't learn his secrets.
Dales spiritual form was probably flying during the mushroom trip as he tells hank he can see his house from here. Mushrooms are considered very spiritual by some people so it’s fair to assume dales spiritual form had an increase in power level as well.
I have almost zero interest in watching a video on Dale Gribble, but the fact that you made a 40 minute video on his power level means that you instantly get a like, and I'll probably let it run in the background in full
@@LiberalsReadmyBio I have noticed some city slickers don't like King of the Hill because they are the type of people to judge a book by its cover, and because of that they decided they wouldn't like the show. I know it's silly to most of us who have given the show a chance and realized it's probably (easily) the best show ever made, but I have worked with some of these people and asked them about it and that's all I could get out of them. Btw these people vote.
The funniest part about this kind of meme is the fact that this IS how powerscaling works. Things like calling certain occurrences "the character hiding their power" or using real world metrics to gauge a character's power are the same logic applied to any series; the difference is how serious the series takes itself, not the video author.
He also gave up a kidney. And the fact that a long time alcoholic and smoker had a kidney healthy enough to donate to a child is a miracle. And he does nothing to change his bad habits after. So that is up there with his regeneration.
In season 2 ep 15, the hills go to Mexico. There Hank finds Dale, who said he was "going on a little drive" and when Hank responded with "Dale that's a 9 hour drive", Dale responded with, "Really?" This in fact confirms that Dale can either teleport or clone.
I believe dale works like an rpg character, I’ve noticed the trend of battles and killings only increasing his power, thus his job as an exterminator would make him incredibly powerful
@@MerkhVision He has his moments, like when he tells Hank that Peggy and Luanne joined a cult. I quote him and Bobby a lot more than a middle-aged woman should 😂🤣😂
The question is this: How many SpongeBobs would it take to defeat him? My opinion is that, theoretically, no number of SpongeBobs could beat him, since he would need to be completely destroyed almost instantly, since he can redirect his life force, and he could regenerate any injury, and since sponges are vulnerable to poisoning, and dale is both an unchallenged master of poisons and is himself extremely carcinogenic, meaning any attempt to attack him would likely kill at least a few SpongeBobs simply from his passive cancer field, not even considering him utilizing poisons offensively, and given his spiritual cloning abilities, he could multiply his killing power exponentially
Hes been smoking since childhood but the scene you shot when you mentioned them drinking as kids has a sight gag in it. They're drinking bloody Mary mix. There's no alcohol in it at all, they're just stupid kids who think they're getting drunk.
Who knew the secrets??? Only the whispers of William S Burroughs could solve until he died on the same August 2 birthday where Dale's Venice Beach Canadian buddy fell out a 4th storey window walking away with no injury except to his landlord's demolished truck and a fractured relationship with his New York girlfriend who never survived as long as both his kidneys did... but thank you Dale for the miracles you manifested by time travel and sharing your powers to save a dumb ass on his birthday chin-ups kamakazee test of courage drunk on Samurai Saki, Lawrence Kansas Weed and Mickey Mouse burnout.

That's actually how strong Dale is he can bench a 45lb bar at a 35lb weight
That just means he is so powerful that he can break the physics of reality and erase matter from the bar just by touching it.

People swore that Trash Armor Bill beating Armored Dale was terrible power scaling, but they forget that Bill is an experimental Army Supersoldier, created through Operation Infinite Walrus.
This explains why Dale chose a Walrus for his "Project" to increase his cold resistance, he was trying to replicate the project that gave Bill his abilities.
“Trying”? I think you mean “succeeding.” He has the durability of a walrus, perhaps even the durability of two walruses.
I just watched that episode like a week ago. Bill had the placebo and wasn't experimented on
@@HandsomeLongshanks Placebo is the codename of a top secret super soldier serum. It was given that codename to look unimportant on official documents.
@@MaynardCrowYeah, it was made by Puh- fizer.
Watching this today in honor of Dale's iconic voice actor Johnny Hardwick. RIP 1959-2023
Dale: “Bobby will put me down clean.” Bobby: “Okay..”
We can’t even begin to comprehend Bobby’s power scale
He’s trying to hide his power from Bobby and the Police
Bobby was so down haha
I freaking love Bobby's "okay!?"
One of my favorite scenes
Those mushrooms looked like psilocybe azurescens, a species known to temporarily paralyze you. Dale was able to climb trees on a high dosage of it.
Azurescens don't cause paralysis unless you eat way too many, but Dale must have built a tolorance

Thank you for reminding me about the scene with Dale telling the cops to let Bobby take the shot. It shows that Dale has a great deal of respect for Bobby's talents as a marksman, a fact about the character that's forgotten about for a majority of the series.
Dale is an OP father figure, even to Hanks kid.
RIP johnny hardwick, you will always be one of the strongest characters in shonen
The only way Hank could cut Dale's finger is because it severed his Cigarette while he was caught unaware.
Lmfao
I theorize that was actually another one of his ploys to seem vulnerable, rather than actually being caught unaware. If anything, with enough cigarettes he could've grown that finger back in no time, but chose instead to both seem vulnerable and to get back at Hank for not being keenly aware of his surroundings in a moment of anger.
@@JG_Wentworth i agree totally. He achieved harmony in season 1, everything4 else is a god tier creature playing with his friends
Besides the blue stipes, those mushrooms look more like destroying angels.
He didn't eat hallucinogenic mushrooms. He ate extremely deadly mushrooms, and they made him hallucinate.
No. His body simply transmutate the venom into hallucinogenic chemicals for his own pleasure

Something to note about medieval plate armor: it's not nearly as restrictive as most people think. While it is heavy, the weight is well distributed over the wearer's whole body, and it still allows a surprisingly flexible range of motion. Skilled fighters from the time could move nearly as fast in full plate as they would unencumbered.
This means that Mighty Knight Dale's speed and agility penalties could be almost entirely negated with the proper training, making him insanely overpowered.
A suit of armor will (should, if it's made FOR you) be more flexible than you are. It would make no sense to make the limits of the armor any less than the limits of the person wearing it. Yes, extremely heavy, but not restrictive in the slightest. (besides, of course, the weight) The most restrictive part about a suit of armor is usually the leather padding you wear under it.
He was walking around in a suit of armor that was made for someone Bills size. He was trying not to bend the metal as he moved around, making it cumbersome.
@@Cretaal Oh yeah I could definitely see it being near impossible to move in a suit of armor made for a guy twice your size.
No, that's all part of the ploy to hide his true power. When nobody's looking, he's doing random silent ninja rolls and jumping into trees in it
Following the logic of the video he was just saving face so his friends wouldn't feel too bad
Bobby will put me down clean.
Bobby: ok (reaches for gun).
God damn that's funny
It's an underrated gem, like like the agate.
@@karldomogalla2058 It makes my tummy ache from how hard it makes me laugh - also like the agate😉
Bobby power level needs to be measured as well
Canonically, Bobby is an amazing shot, I don't blame Dale.
Yep, that boy made me chuckle
Rest in peace, Johnny Hardwick.
I think that dale as an exterminator is leveraging a principle similar to the “sword logic” of the Destiny universe where one can increase their power by killing weaker beings. Who knows how powerful he could grow if dale was left to continuously annihilate Arland’s bugs.
yeah, he's one of very few characters grinding for experience to level up as a CAREER
That seems reasonable.
I need a pocket sand emote in Destiny now
Too bad he never hooked up with ol' drifter. A few games of gambit could have done his powers good. Transmat Firing!
With that logic, the reason that he slowly but steadily increase his power is because the bugs don't provide to much power, but the sheer quantity Dale has killed gives him his powers
I believe there was a power move you missed back in season 6 episode 2, where it's revealed he learned the attack "pocket sand" that can instantly disable an enemy and it has a 100% chance to hit.
That technique deserves a video of it's own.
Forreal, surprised pocket sand wasn't mentioned
Dale would say: "He anit dead, that's what they want you to think!"
RIP Dale ;_;7
Confirmed: Dale Gribble is an SCP that the foundation hasn't found yet because of his extreme paranoia.
He is unknowable
Hahahahaha
He has already infiltrated them
Actually could make sense 😂😂
I need that scp
Texas Fireant venom has neurotoxin in it. It physically scars you when you get bit, en mass they actually destroy the skin semi permanently. The fact that his scarring didn't last is incredible.
Rest in peace, Johnny Hardwick. From ashes to ashes, and pocket sand to pocket sand, fly high Mr. Shackleford.
There's one major issue with your hypothesis. The scene in which Dale jumps to swat at Bill, he jumps and this does show that he CAN move at double the speed of a normal person but he also lands twice as fast. This CLEARLY shows that Dale is able to manipulate the forces of gravity localized within his area of influence.
Or just a testament of the power of his swat forcing his body back to the ground perhaps realizing that if he actually jumps the 5 feet it be too obvious
Dale clearly threw the gun to joseph because he's also the most powerful Dad
Exactly, he was giving his son the chance to prove himself.
@@kgpspyguy He could've easily shot the dear himself but chose to create a high stress situation to see if his son also possessed the gift of Gribble, which although Joseph is not his biological son, he's attained some of Dale's power from exposure.

*Ok, I’m convinced*
Yep
I’m only at the 16 minute mark, but I just realized Dayle must be a reality warper or Time & Dimension traveler.
As he knew he was being spied on, trying to record and collect all of his information, and it turned out to be you.
that explains why he had all those mistakes. he KNEW he was being watched and that people were onto him, so he faked being afraid, got his finger cut off, all of it. King of the Hill was never Hank, it was Dale all along
I love every time you say "as we all know" and drop the craziest ability that you associate him with now
Dale not even flinching at the garage explosion shows that hes incredibly adept and use to high pressure situations. The other instances when he shows to cower or crack under pressure i.e when the deer charges at him was him hiding his power once again. Notice how he threw the gun in the air and it landed directly into his son-ish arms. Everything was calculated from the getgo as everything normally is by himm possibly even his own birth
Haha your so funny
@@akshaypatel518 I agree with you akshay! I think akshay posted a very funny comment.
@@dominickpissegga2128 until you said their names, i was oblivious to the situation! Akshay really is funny!
20:23 in this scene Dale's mastery of another language is impressive, but the most powerful part is him instantly setting that mouse trap one handed, perfectly tossing it gently enough to not set it off and yet perfectly enough for that scurrying rat to be unable to avoid it. Setting it one handed,with the way a mechanical mousetrap functions, is nigh on impossible without snapping it shut on your fingers unless you had PERFECT dexterity, grip strength and finger flexibility... but to toss it with it still being set upon landing any kind of distance would take absolute muscle control on a godlike level. Also, he didn't land the trap on the rat (although at this point we know he undoubtedly could have) but rather landed it where the rat was going to be in the near future. We know this because the trap had no bait, therefore no incentive for the rat to inspect it. It had already decided to run that direction. Predicting which way a rat will run at night in a dark alley is impossible, as they run for the dark and everything is dark at that place and time. As a matter of fact even noticing the rat would be relatively powerful considering he'd have to keep his attention on his contact and all of his surroundings at the same time. This means only one of two thing: 1. Dale is so perceptive he can spot objects in absolute darkness and even differentiate between miniscule differences in shadow level while doing this with every single thing in his field of view, or 2. He is blatantly displaying for an observer a small act of PRECOGNITION, making him a telepath as well as his other abilities. If you want my opinion....it's both.
BTW, subbed.
rip Johnny Hardwick, thank you for giving an unforgettable voice to the unforgettable power that is Dale Gribble
What we’re all glossing over is the fact that hank’s table saw is SO POWERFUL that it can damage a supreme being such as Dale as though they were plain cedar
Edit: For those saying that Dale allowed himself to be damaged, this would be completely out of character. Dale is a supreme being with a supreme ego, he is aware of his power, and constantly flaunts it throughout the series.
He moved his life force out of his hand
Hanks table saw was probably maintained by hank according to the manual, by hank himself....its def going to be a lot better than damn near every table saw.
The saw can’t cut the finger off a supreme being such as dale
Dale probably allowed the saw to cut his finger off to avoid looking suspicious
The fact the saw's safety features didn't activate is testimate that Dale's skin is not like any other flesh. Or he was able to subtly move his finger faster than the saw's flesh detection which is faster than a fraction of a second.
In order to show power by simply not feeling pain
It's not the fact I'm watching a "Dale Gribble power scale" video on UA-cam, it's the fact that it's 40 MINUTES is what surprises me.
And I sat through the whole thing absolutely mesmerized
RIP Johnny Hardwick. You're spraying roaches in heaven.
This is the truth.
I concur.
@Ed gray Rusty doesn't even use skates, he scoots on his bare feet at a serene average of 55mph just to say 'Suck it Sammy Hagar!'

JohnnyHa!!! The truth has been concurred by the voice of Gribble Babble.
Ive been saying Dale is OP as fuck for years and I feel vindicated now.
I just found out he passed away. R.i.p. Legend. I hope you're throwing pocket sand in heaven
I love how he keeps tabs on everyone.(He knows his wife cheats on him) He knows Bobby is the best shot around and asks him to put him down.
he let his wife cheat on him because he's infertile from inhaling so many pesticides. his power has a cost.
Technically if he allows her to cheat. Or have lover. They are an Open marriage or swingers. Not really cheating
@@FrostyGerardo-kr7xsnot really, since his wife doesn’t know he knows. Need to have open communication to have an open marriage.
@@undercookedtoast1479 Dale is sterile(from eating and inhaling too many chemicals) and turns a blind eye to nancy's cheating because he wanted a son.
@@zm1786 that’s still cheating tho, just because you ignore it doesn’t make it not cheating. That’s my whole point. If they had an actual open discussion about it and both explicitly consent/are ok with it, *thats* an open or polyamorous thing. Dale may know about it, but his wife doesn’t know that he knows, which is evident since she keeps it a secret for the most part. Open marriage requires open communication. That’s really the beginning and end of it.
Why do you think John Red Corn never just took his girl? Why all the sneaking? Because Natives Americans can sense power levels naturally, because they have special nature powers.

The fact that Dale can handle any of the infinity stones is nothing short of amazing.
Amazing? I think you ment to type "totally expected and something completly normal for Dale"
Wel durability is his biggest stat, he’s pretty much just swapping his min/max
Very true, considering it took like 5 people just to use one infinity stone in Guardians of the Galaxy, though since Quill is the offspring of a Celestial it's entirely possible that if he wasnt there it could take dozens of people to use a infinity stone without harming/killing some of the 'users' of said infinity stone
@10:50 Dale didn't get scared and throw his gun out of fear, he's spin threw his rifle perfectly into his adopted sons hands so that Joseph could kill his first deer 🦌 by saving the father he loved. It was one of the most beautiful moments of television between a father and son.
Joseph isn’t adopted... he’s the biological love child of John redcorn and Dale’s wife who have an ongoing affair through the series and Dale legitimately believes that Joseph is his biological son
Yeah, if Dale was actually startled by the buck the natural instinct would be to fire. But instead he tosses his gun precisely into joseph's hands, proving that not only is he unfazed by the 10-point buck charging him, but that he is focused and committed to his mission of training his son. He knew that even if joseph missed his shot, he would be able to take on the buck with his bare hands.
@@bradceplina Nah, Dale used his form changing abilities to become biologically Native American and conceive Joseph. He uses John Redcorn to keep Nancy distracted so she doesn't learn his secrets.
Rest in peace, Johnny Hardwick. We'll never forget you.
Dales spiritual form was probably flying during the mushroom trip as he tells hank he can see his house from here. Mushrooms are considered very spiritual by some people so it’s fair to assume dales spiritual form had an increase in power level as well.
I have almost zero interest in watching a video on Dale Gribble, but the fact that you made a 40 minute video on his power level means that you instantly get a like, and I'll probably let it run in the background in full

I don't understand? Dale gribble is a fascinating character
@@LiberalsReadmyBio I have noticed some city slickers don't like King of the Hill because they are the type of people to judge a book by its cover, and because of that they decided they wouldn't like the show.

Btw these people vote.
@Jason Redcorn aren’t you judging a book by the cover by generalizing an entire group of people? Lol.
The funniest part about this kind of meme is the fact that this IS how powerscaling works. Things like calling certain occurrences "the character hiding their power" or using real world metrics to gauge a character's power are the same logic applied to any series; the difference is how serious the series takes itself, not the video author.
Me: Gotta go to bed 4 hours ago.
Also me: 40 minute video on a fictional character from a discontinued TV show, hmm…
Going from "this proves this isnt just a crackpot theory" almost immediately into the time stone stuff is a stroke of comedy genius

He also gave up a kidney. And the fact that a long time alcoholic and smoker had a kidney healthy enough to donate to a child is a miracle. And he does nothing to change his bad habits after. So that is up there with his regeneration.

In season 2 ep 15, the hills go to Mexico. There Hank finds Dale, who said he was "going on a little drive" and when Hank responded with "Dale that's a 9 hour drive", Dale responded with, "Really?" This in fact confirms that Dale can either teleport or clone.
“How bout I read you a story like I used to, you know before you got a mustache and became so frightening” I lost my shit lmfao
I believe dale works like an rpg character, I’ve noticed the trend of battles and killings only increasing his power, thus his job as an exterminator would make him incredibly powerful
If dale regenerates that well, he can probably live indefinitely without aging.
season 1: This is a little far fetched

Holy shit I'm reading this comment literally as I've seen literally as that scene played that's fucking cool
The question is this: How many SpongeBobs would it take to defeat him?
My opinion is that, theoretically, no number of SpongeBobs could beat him, since he would need to be completely destroyed almost instantly, since he can redirect his life force, and he could regenerate any injury, and since sponges are vulnerable to poisoning, and dale is both an unchallenged master of poisons and is himself extremely carcinogenic, meaning any attempt to attack him would likely kill at least a few SpongeBobs simply from his passive cancer field, not even considering him utilizing poisons offensively, and given his spiritual cloning abilities, he could multiply his killing power exponentially
I’m fully convinced that I am way too high for this.
