Be glad it ended on a good note and so did Regular Show, Futurama, Bojack Horseman etc and didn't become a zombie like The Simpsons, Spongebob and Family Guy
Fox never said they cancelled KOTH to make room for the Cleveland show although it is easy to see why one might think that. KOTH simply did not have enough viewers to keep Fox interested in continuing the program anymore. They are a company after all and even one episode of airtime is valuable enough to deny the final episodes to air. Anyway, they saw more potential in Seth's show because he already had two hit series and fox probably made a deal with him but they may not have if KOTH had not dropped in the amount of viewers. They aired the episodes fox abandoned on adult swim though. They were really not that great.
@@cesarcueto1995 no offense to fox but 2 shows with great potential my ass, American dad is basically redoing plots with similar plots they had in the old days and family guy still does the same shtick, although the episode brian and stewie was one of the most serious episodes in cartoon history
I like the fan theory that Dale was on a watchlist and Boomhauer was sent on an undercover assignment to keep an eye and gather information about him and his gun club buddies since they were childhood friends. And considering how oblivious Dale is, it would be plausible that he never paid attention enough to realize one of his best friends had become a Texas Ranger.
Lizardguy Me specifically? Nah, I’d rather it go out with some class, so it could’ve freed up Matt to produce other stuff (not that that stopped him, though) Studio execs, that know the smell of easy money when they cross it? Oh yeah.
@@MisterFiasco It's because it still makes alot of money over seas. Been to alot of latin countries where you still find people buying Simpsons merch and keep watching.

Yet while king of the hill ran and ended on the perfect time (back when no one had to walk on eggshells or worry about offending anyone when it came to comedy) the simpsons is becoming stale and I hate to say this but the simpsons has become a ❄❄❄ galore show
Khan sees Connie's accomplishments and allows her to rest. Dale is curing Nancy's actual headaches and seem to be a nearly flawless couple. Lucky and Luanne are happy and have a beautiful functioning family, despite both of them coming from broken homes. Boomhauer's job is revealed. The neighborhood comes together. The boy is finally right. The perfect ending I tell ya hwat.
can confirm. once that charco lights up, you’ll have a mexican avalanche, as my dad calls it, in your hands. but in the end of the day, nothing beats getting together with the people you love after unas horas en el rancho trabajando
According to the director, Bill was supposed to have a scene where he takes out old wedding cake from the fridge looks down upon it before tossing it into the garbage. He would then smell the steak and head over to join the rest of the neighborhood. It was cut for time.
That would’ve been great. It would show us that Bill has truly gotten over Lenore and finally moves on with his life. That would’ve been a much more hopeful ending for Bill.
It's interesting to see such a realistic ending, but it will always feel weird when a show ends like this, with all of the bad guys escaping without a lick of restitution.
As a Texan. I'm so so proud of this show. It's funny but everyone on the show is just a genuine golden person. Thanks Mike for all the years of joy. :)
One of the best finales ever done. We don’t need a reboot or spin off. We need shows that respect their characters enough to give them proper closure and endings. This and Regular Show knew what they were doing. It’s a finale that makes you ready to start all over again, which is exactly what they wanted back then. Continued viewership in syndication.
I still cry a bit watching the regular show finale, it was just perfect, that whole show was perfect, and ended on a bitter sweet, but very sweet ending, with everyone moving on in their lives, showing an adult mordecai and rigby finally acting like adults, showing pops in heaven seeing everything as just a regular show, or in his case, "A Jolly Good Show!"
As a bit of trivia, there was an extra scene planned for the ending, set between the Boomhauer scene and all the neighbors showing up. It was going to depict Bill taking some wedding cake out of his freezer, smelling the grill, then throwing out the cake after a brief pause, symbolizing that he's moved on from Lenore.
I feel like the focus of the show as a whole comes down to Hank and Bobby’s relationship, and to see it end on a great note like this was so sweet. What a good ending.
The very first episode was meant to show that, how hank didn't understand bobby and thought there was something wrong with him but despite that he still loved him, his flaws and all.
What we clearly learned from King of the Hill: “You can be gay, short, tall, weak, tough, or even stupid for all I care. But if you know how to grill with the use of propane and propane accessories, you are a Hill man.”
“Firm, but with a little give, yup, these are medium-rare”. “What if someone wants their’s well done?” “Then we ask them politely, but firmly, to leave”
Had steaks done that way my whole life. Don’t think I’ve ever eaten one medium, which is something I wanna try. Did have brisket and tri-tip done that way though
The funny part is, Dale, for all his conspiracy moments and anti-government sentiments; never realized he was speaking to a government worker for literal years.

What a concept - an entertaining show about ordinary people being ordinary. Hank is comically square, but time proves him a super hero for his iron determination to live right and do right. The episode where Cotton motivated Peggy to walk was my epiphany about how much heart there is in this show. The amount of care that went into balancing the humor, the heart, the story lines, the back stories and the character development is astounding. Really a pretty amazing body of work.
The line I remember must from this series is still: "I climbed the cliffs of Normandy with a fifty-pound ice cream maker strapped to my back, _AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP A PUNY LITTLE HILL?!"_
@@captainnwalps6689 What's the point of grilling if you aren't gonna flavor the meat with delicious charcoal. At that point you might as well pan fry the damn steak.
Traveller I think it’s a fake badge cause In the episode where they were reviewing the new mason tractor boom basically says he gets worker comp checks from an injury (basically kinda in a similar boat as Lucky)
Honestly, when you break down King of the Kill, and go over the series long character development and relationships development, it is one of of the most brilliantly written coming-of-age family-relationship stories ever to air on TV
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 they said coming-of-age family relationships. The relationships are what changed and grew. You weren’t thinking deep enough before you replied
I've been a Texan all my life, and lived in Red Oak, Dallas, Baytown, Denton, and Lancaster, and none of which were the "rich" parts of town, but the friendliness was unbeatable. I've had random people help me replace an alternator on the side of the road, and a sweet Hispanic lady who didn't speak a lick of English gave me a bunch of Vietnamese pho, a big plate of barbacoa, and like 2 dozen tamales with a bunch of salsa. Never met her in my life, but I'll never forget her.
i just now realized that since Boomhauer is a texas ranger he most likely would've been put on the case of debbie's death but since he was friends with hank he wasn't allowed to, but he most likely knew the ranger of the investigation and told him it couldn't have been hank despite overwhelming evidence planted by buck, that's why he went to the convenience store and looked at the tape.
Buck is a real piece of shit Out of all the shit things he did in the show framing Hank for murder was a low even for him and I didn't get why Hank didn't leave his sorry ass behind.
The Science Fiction and HORROR AND FANTASY FAN. I would have quit in an instant. The only reason Hank didn’t quit is because the plot needed him not to.
The ending was perfect but I wish they kept Bill's ending which showed him throwing away the old wedding cake he kept from his marriage to Lanore after he smelled the steaks. It was symbol of him finally letting go of his past and trying to be a better person.
Always loved that show, my wife would never watch it when it aired as she thought it was stupid. Then one day she watched a rerun with me and said "This is actually a GOOD show!" I wish they would bring it back using the same artists and writers, naturally everyone would have to be older.
“I may not have John Redcorns healing touch , but I do know a thing or two about the human body considering I once saw a possum ripped apart” Dale Gribble lmao 🤣
I really like how they tied up everyone’s loose ends. Khan finally lets off Connie, Dale finally satisfied his wife, boomhauer finally reveals his profession , and hank and bobby finally share a true father son moment. I know I missed some things, but see for yoursefl
@@ShamblesMD there was an extra scene planned for the ending, set between the Boomhauer scene and all the neighbors showing up. It was going to depict Bill taking some wedding cake out of his freezer, smelling the grill, then throwing out the cake after a brief pause, symbolizing that he's moved on from Lenore.
There’s still too many loose ends that weren’t really resolved. Dale should’ve found out about John redcorn. Bobby should’ve gone to high school. Hank should’ve been promoted to manager. Bill should’ve gotten married. Just to name a few. Could’ve made a great movie.
Rejoice in the glory that was King of the Hill. You could tell the writers were invested in the characters they had created and some of the writing was absolute genius. We may never see an animated series this deep ever again.
You know what makes this scene even sweeter. Bobby got his team to state and he won. Something his father couldn't accomplish. If that were my boy I'd say "I'm proud of you, I tell you hwhat."
@@hankhill5622 They had that happen for I think another episode, then that just went away. I think she went back to laos, cause in the other episodes she wasn't in them.
The production team thought Luanne's wedding was going be the last episode and filmed a would-be final scene for that episode. It was very slap dash and featured many out of circulation background characters and a lot of one off characters like Junichiro and Anthony Page. It was weird and I'm glad they got to keeping going.
He always had a good "explanation" for everything...lmao took too long to figure out what he was saying so they looked the other way 🤣 Long as his numbers were good
Growing up, KoTH was never as fun as The Simpsons, Futurama, and Family Guy. But as I got older, the more and more I really started to enjoy KoTH. And this last episode always gets to me.
I really didn't get into KOTH until high school, where as I was teenager, I finally started understanding all the jokes in there, that's the magic about this show, it seems boring as a kid, but that's because kids just wouldn't get the jokes in here, let alone pay attention to the plain details of the characters
I didn’t realize how much I underestimated the significance of KotH in my childhood and life in general until I started tearing up watching this. The characters remind me a lot of my family and the people in my area (southern Kansas) so it hits close to home, and the tone and humor isn’t “haha poopies gore and sex” like most other adult cartoons. And the fanbase seems to be really chill for the most part, not really many children and no gatekeeping BS that I’ve seen. RIP KotH. There won’t be another show like you for a long time...
you should definitely check out Joe Pera Talks with You, it's an ongoing adult swim series and definitely captures that warm midwest feeling, i think you'd really enjoy it
For those curious, and discussing the issue, this WAS the last broadcast episode on Fox and was intended as such. When Fox canceled the series (for the second time actually), we selected this episode from among our season 13 stories as most suitable to be the finale and wrote the final scene to wrap it up. We had four other episodes in the can which later aired on Adult Swim, but this was the finale. We wanted to go out with an episode in keeping with the spirit and character of the show. Something real and small (in the best sense) not showy and false. We were originally cancelled in season 10 and "Lucky's Wedding Suit" was going to be the series finale and the last scene was supposed to wrap up the series-- the guys reminiscing in the alley after Luanne's wedding about all that had happened. At the eleventh hour, the show was picked up again, and we re-wrote the last scene. The missing Bill wedding cake resolution is true. The animation was a little confusing and we were tight on time, so unfortunately it was cut. It is true the show dealt with Buck's dysfunctional co-dependent relationship with Lenore a few times, but throwing out the frost-bitten decades old wedding cake was our way of saying that in that moment he was finally, definitively free of her. In retrospect, is a big regret. For us, Jeff Boomhauer, Texas Ranger, was just a fun delicious surprise, which obviously invites a lot of speculation in hindsight.
Question, if you are the real Jim Dauterive: Was Bobby Bill's son? The theory rests on the apparent similarities between Bobby and Bill, and the fact that Peggy seems to despise Bill despite his obvious affection for her. Personally, I just think Bill, on account of his traumatic childhood, is attracted to/feels most comfortable around people who shit on him, so to speak. I also think Bill and Peggy may have had a brief, non-sexual fling in some distant yesteryear, but nothing that would have resulted in Bobby being born. The writers seem to be aware of this not-so-secret dynamic, though, and seem to tease at it throughout the series (e.g. when Dale proposes that Bill "inseminate" Peggy after Wally proves to be a less-than-stellar son substitute, when Bobby asks Bill if he was adopted, when Peggy and Bill were on the bridge in "Bill of Sales," the secret sauce episode, and more), but, ultimately, I think Bill just sees the Hills as the family he himself would have liked to have had, if things were different. That's why he often expresses jealousy toward Hank, attraction/feelings for Peggy, and a fatherly attitude toward Bobby. He doesn't feel the same for the Gribbles because he knows their "family" was largely built on lies and deceit, whereas Hank and co. seem to embody everything he wants out of a family. Sorry for the novel, but I'm self-quarantining and am watching this series for about the 8th or 9th time haha
@@kjohnson954 That's a fun fan question. We always enjoyed the speculation, but never intended it as a fact. And last time I checked, I was the real one!
I honestly don't want another season of this show unless Mike judge can make a final scene that makes me cry again. The simplicity and music at the end of this show, it can't be reproduced
I mean the luanne and lucky wedding episode was almost gonna be the finale, but got 2 more seasons instead, that finale would have been good when hank and the guys had a beer in the alley like always
Honestly i've not watched really any King of the Hill, only a few episodes when I was younger, but even I still felt the sense of community from this scene. People from all walks of life together at peace and a father and his son connecting. Heartwarming.
Yeah it's sad they basically use the Principle Moss episode to show he "doesn't need anyone" when he finally gets everyone to move out and is happy all alone watching TV laughing. Really sad actually. Rather have had them do the wedding cake scene to show he was over his ex wife. But the way they went just shows life isn't fair sadly.
One of the best endings of an animated series I have seen. I don't even want a reboot, I'd rather have a spin off series centred around a grown up Bobby.
@@keonkeels5691 Futurama ending was pure shit. Like... It completely excluded all the characters except Fry and Leela instead of giving us a proper send off. All it did was give us some lame love story about living together in a world where everything else is frozen, then they're gonna forget and presumably go back to normal life. I'm positive way more fans would have preferred the last episode not be hard focused on two characters out of such a large, beloved cast.
everyones so insecure of integrating and socializing with differing cultures and with the advancements of technology since the 2000s probably limited the amount of community/ block or bay partys and cookouts like this
I watched this a year ago. I recently finished the series again. I'm not afraid to admit, I cried. This show was so good. The beginning starts with "that boy ain't right" Then, just before this scene, HANK SHAKES BOBBY'S HAND!!! And finally the two tips, after Bobby realizes he'll take after his dad in something he enjoys. It's got danged beautiful
She would've made a great Harley Quinn. Another reason we can't have a new series, aside from no Luanne or Lucky, is that it'd be hard to find a way to explain Ladybird still being alive (unless they go the Futurama route and have her head in a jar).
@@dandeleon2764 They should just move time forwards & make a scene in an episode where hank is looking at an old picture of ladybird a bit sad then sees his current bloodhound looking at him & hopping up to lick him.
This may have been the best finale of a show I’ve seen. It makes me smile and tear up a bit no matter how many times I see it. A perfect show I’ll tell you hwat.
This is the last scene people. There were four episodes that aired later for the first time in syndication, but this was the final episode. This happens more than you'd think.
“Well, Dad, it looks like this is the last one” “Oh, you’re just getting started, Bobby. You’ll be grilling your whole life.” “Just like you...” “Yup.” “Yup.” To think those were the last words of one of my favorite shows is honestly so wholesome...
I remember how this show got very little ads for it, yet we and many others made this a show to watch every week.! We still watch the re-runs, and still laugh. Plus, there were parts where it touched your heart.
Then perhaps you didn't know that some guests stars where singers Zz top voiced hanks cousin And penis er... i meant Willy Nelson voiced as himself in this show. The guest stars were definitely NOT just random people There was also Bernie Macintosh, and Chris Rock and Drew Carry
The Bobby/Hank relationship grows so tight here compared to other times they came together because this was something that Hank really felt he was passing on instead of learning to like himself, and Bobby had his own personal interest in separate from whether or not his dad liked it. They could finally be mutual enthusiasts with their own information to share and learn from each other in a language the other was already familiar with. This was the hobby that they could talk about for years to come. And while the propane/charcoal and other heat methods issue was bound to come up again, Bobby had earned Hank's respect on the subject so Hank would definitely be more receptive to the idea specifically from his son who knew more as a teenager about beef than Hank did in his 40's.
It’s upsetting knowing The Cleveland Show is mainly the reason why King of The Hill got cancelled. But hey, at least KOTH ended off on a great note.
Is that seriously why KOTH was canceled? That kinda sucks!
What the actual fuck?!!?
And there were still a few episodes that never got released
You're absolutely sure that's why?

Boomhauer being a Texas ranger was one of the best plot twists. Dale was friends with a government worker the whole time, and didn't even know it
He hated the federal government, not state.
I'm sure he knows they just never addressed what Boomhauer does until the end.
Hulu ordered more episodes of the show, I wonder if they're going to have to take that into account with the new stories.
I mean he's friends with Bill and clearly knows hes in the Army? So..?

The line I remember must from this series is still: "I climbed the cliffs of Normandy with a fifty-pound ice cream maker strapped to my back, _AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP A PUNY LITTLE HILL?!"_
I'm not crying, somebody's grilling with charcoal next door.
With hill billy BBQ?
😢 yeah... mine too! I mean who could possibly be moved by a heartwarming last episode to a cartoon? Ridiculous! 😭
That guy next door sounds like he actually knows how to grill.
Zander Plays Video Games taste the meat not the heat
@@captainnwalps6689 What's the point of grilling if you aren't gonna flavor the meat with delicious charcoal. At that point you might as well pan fry the damn steak.
I ,loved this show! I like how they reveal that Boomhauer is a Texas Ranger.
I still think its a fake badge. No way he's a real ranger
@@newphilmz3605 I worked with him for a few years, it is real.
Traveller I think it’s a fake badge cause In the episode where they were reviewing the new mason tractor boom basically says he gets worker comp checks from an injury (basically kinda in a similar boat as Lucky)
Nah he saw hank with crack and he didnt say anything hes not a ranger
When I visit New York, I'm gonna ask someone from there a question in boomhauer's accent
One of the most wholesome cartoons ever created. It's sad knowing that it's been 11 years since we've seen a new King Of The Hill episode.
soon
@@mrjaked420oof
It was, funny without being dirty or depraved.
A good story knows when to end, while still hinting at what happens after it.
Honestly, when you break down King of the Kill, and go over the series long character development and relationships development, it is one of of the most brilliantly written coming-of-age family-relationship stories ever to air on TV
Yesssss
King Of The Hill and Futurama are amazing cartoons that have made many grown adults cry.
Bobby aged like 1 year throughout the show, not really a coming of age story lol. But it was a great show.
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 they said coming-of-age family relationships. The relationships are what changed and grew. You weren’t thinking deep enough before you replied
@bobbygetsbanned6049 lol. Atleast he aged more than Bart or Lisa
XD
Imagine living in a neighborhood where people were actually that close to you. I wish.
I've been a Texan all my life, and lived in Red Oak, Dallas, Baytown, Denton, and Lancaster, and none of which were the "rich" parts of town, but the friendliness was unbeatable. I've had random people help me replace an alternator on the side of the road, and a sweet Hispanic lady who didn't speak a lick of English gave me a bunch of Vietnamese pho, a big plate of barbacoa, and like 2 dozen tamales with a bunch of salsa. Never met her in my life, but I'll never forget her.
@TCT That's some straight up truth brother
@@DarthRevan-lu6xp That is really amazing
@TCT Very well said my friend. It was a simpler time. I miss it.
@Tom, i bet
i just now realized that since Boomhauer is a texas ranger he most likely would've been put on the case of debbie's death but since he was friends with hank he wasn't allowed to, but he most likely knew the ranger of the investigation and told him it couldn't have been hank despite overwhelming evidence planted by buck, that's why he went to the convenience store and looked at the tape.
dude12394 Interesting observation
Buck is a real piece of shit
Out of all the shit things he did in the show framing Hank for murder was a low even for him and I didn't get why Hank didn't leave his sorry ass behind.
I just now realized that Hank has most likely kicked a Texas Ranger's ass at some point.
Some solid detective work there
The Science Fiction and HORROR AND FANTASY FAN. I would have quit in an instant. The only reason Hank didn’t quit is because the plot needed him not to.
The ending was perfect but I wish they kept Bill's ending which showed him throwing away the old wedding cake he kept from his marriage to Lanore after he smelled the steaks. It was symbol of him finally letting go of his past and trying to be a better person.
That would've been awesome, bill finally getting some closure would've been sweet
0:23-0:45
RIP Johnny Hardwick, Brittany Murphy & Tom Petty: Goodbye Dale, Luanne & Lucky. You Will All Be Missed.😢
Anyone else get recommended this in 2020 I think this is a sign we should just grill away the troubles. In all seriousness this ending is wholesome.
My husband just struck the grill up
Lol
Yes
Yup lol
Bro this show is based in Texas and I’m moving away from Texas ;-;
Years later Hank and Peggy retired moving to Highland, Texas, living next to two seemingly nice teenage boys.
and now those two younger neighbors are hwacking off in Hanks tool shed.
Why did Hank change his last name? Witness protection?
oblivion85 Beaves and butthead was before king of the hill.
BREAKIN THE LAW BREAKIN THE LAW
Zack Halladay you forgot constantly stealing his golf balls during his golf game just so they can sell them back to him for an outstanding price.
I miss this series. That was the perfect ending. As much as I would love for them to bring it back, I don't think it would ever be the same.
Always loved that show, my wife would never watch it when it aired as she thought it was stupid.
Then one day she watched a rerun with me and said "This is actually a GOOD show!"
I wish they would bring it back using the same artists and writers, naturally everyone would have to be older.
I like how they didn't exaggerate anything. They kept it simple, simple yet satisfying. Which is KOTH in a nutshell for me.
Very chill show. Kinda reminded me of hey Arnold in some places
@@sup-wy8gh Hey Arnold is amazing! 😀
“You’ll be grilling your whole life.”
True words from a wise man.
Yup
@@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God mmhmm

Yep.
Once you start, nothing hits that same satisfaction:smell ratio like bbq.
Yup...
“I may not have John Redcorns healing touch , but I do know a thing or two about the human body considering I once saw a possum ripped apart” Dale Gribble lmao 🤣
They had to throw one ridiculous line in that episode. 😂
There's something incredibly satisfying about seeing one of your favorite shows end just about as perfectly as it gets. So wholesome
I really like how they tied up everyone’s loose ends. Khan finally lets off Connie, Dale finally satisfied his wife, boomhauer finally reveals his profession , and hank and bobby finally share a true father son moment. I know I missed some things, but see for yoursefl
"But what about Bill?" - Bill (probably)
@@ShamblesMD there was an extra scene planned for the ending, set between the Boomhauer scene and all the neighbors showing up. It was going to depict Bill taking some wedding cake out of his freezer, smelling the grill, then throwing out the cake after a brief pause, symbolizing that he's moved on from Lenore.
There’s still too many loose ends that weren’t really resolved. Dale should’ve found out about John redcorn. Bobby should’ve gone to high school. Hank should’ve been promoted to manager. Bill should’ve gotten married. Just to name a few. Could’ve made a great movie.
@@HUNTtheTRUTH1 I hope there will be a revival soon
What happened with Hank's dad and John Redcorn?
Legend has it...to this day, the boy STILL ain't right...
SaveTheDramaForYourLlama lmfao i literrally just spit mi drink out when i read ur coment 😂
@@otperformance1042 now it's "that man ain't right" ....

Will dale make johnredcorn into johndeadcorn?
There is a comic where he becomes a guidance councilor, with his newest clients being Chris Griffith and Bart Simpson in couple's therapy.
Rejoice in the glory that was King of the Hill. You could tell the writers were invested in the characters they had created and some of the writing was absolute genius. We may never see an animated series this deep ever again.
Damn I remember being in school when this played. A big moment and very emotional!
You know what makes this scene even sweeter.
Bobby got his team to state and he won.
Something his father couldn't accomplish.
If that were my boy I'd say "I'm proud of you, I tell you hwhat."
The only thing i didn’t like about this is that Bill didn’t get anything special.
He deserved a woman.
Bill has his pride. He proved he could stand on his own
I thought he married khans mom. Wtf??
bill discovered his self worth.
@@hankhill5622
They had that happen for I think another episode, then that just went away. I think she went back to laos, cause in the other episodes she wasn't in them.
That scene got me almost all tear-eyed. What a way to go out.
I hope all that worked on that show went on to flourish in their careers.
Rip Dale. This was one of the best cartoons.
Not many shows have managed to pull off a perfect ending, I’m glad this show was able to do it.
The production team thought Luanne's wedding was going be the last episode and filmed a would-be final scene for that episode. It was very slap dash and featured many out of circulation background characters and a lot of one off characters like Junichiro and Anthony Page. It was weird and I'm glad they got to keeping going.
Yeah this is right up there with BoJack Horseman.
I still have tears from Futurama's ending.
I wouldnt say its perfect. Bill got nothing special
@@lukethelegend9705 nothing compares to bojack. Greatest SHOW period.
Crazy that Boomhauer was a Texas Ranger all along. Calls into question how he's stayed on the force lol.
He always had a good "explanation" for everything...lmao took too long to figure out what he was saying so they looked the other way 🤣
Long as his numbers were good
He was on the Gribble case, but as a friend let it all slide
Maybe it was a fake and he used it to pick up chicks?
@@gator9339 you underestimate Boomhauer, he definitely didn't need that to pick up chicks hahaha
Although thats funny
Whose to say that many of the chicks he landed were not part of sting ops?
Not the final scene anymore!! Let’s go!
Growing up, KoTH was never as fun as The Simpsons, Futurama, and Family Guy. But as I got older, the more and more I really started to enjoy KoTH. And this last episode always gets to me.
I really didn't get into KOTH until high school, where as I was teenager, I finally started understanding all the jokes in there, that's the magic about this show, it seems boring as a kid, but that's because kids just wouldn't get the jokes in here, let alone pay attention to the plain details of the characters
I just noticed that they grilled 8 steaks for 3 people while they didn't even know they were having company.
@DragonX3Gaming maybe they were just grilling for sake of it..not necessarily expecting company but happy to have them as they joined in
It's texas
They knew. As soon as they started grilling, they knew.
Texas.
mealprep!!!
I didn’t realize how much I underestimated the significance of KotH in my childhood and life in general until I started tearing up watching this. The characters remind me a lot of my family and the people in my area (southern Kansas) so it hits close to home, and the tone and humor isn’t “haha poopies gore and sex” like most other adult cartoons. And the fanbase seems to be really chill for the most part, not really many children and no gatekeeping BS that I’ve seen.
RIP KotH. There won’t be another show like you for a long time...
yep
John yeeep
mhmm
It reminds me of the family I never had...
you should definitely check out Joe Pera Talks with You, it's an ongoing adult swim series and definitely captures that warm midwest feeling, i think you'd really enjoy it
From putting ketchup on his dad’s “bland” steak to grilling like a pro with Hank, what a character arc for Bobby 👍.
This is my favorite show of all time. Growing up in a small town in Upstate New York the characters and situations were instantly relatable.
For those curious, and discussing the issue, this WAS the last broadcast episode on Fox and was intended as such. When Fox canceled the series (for the second time actually), we selected this episode from among our season 13 stories as most suitable to be the finale and wrote the final scene to wrap it up. We had four other episodes in the can which later aired on Adult Swim, but this was the finale. We wanted to go out with an episode in keeping with the spirit and character of the show. Something real and small (in the best sense) not showy and false. We were originally cancelled in season 10 and "Lucky's Wedding Suit" was going to be the series finale and the last scene was supposed to wrap up the series-- the guys reminiscing in the alley after Luanne's wedding about all that had happened. At the eleventh hour, the show was picked up again, and we re-wrote the last scene. The missing Bill wedding cake resolution is true. The animation was a little confusing and we were tight on time, so unfortunately it was cut. It is true the show dealt with Buck's dysfunctional co-dependent relationship with Lenore a few times, but throwing out the frost-bitten decades old wedding cake was our way of saying that in that moment he was finally, definitively free of her. In retrospect, is a big regret. For us, Jeff Boomhauer, Texas Ranger, was just a fun delicious surprise, which obviously invites a lot of speculation in hindsight.
Question, if you are the real Jim Dauterive: Was Bobby Bill's son? The theory rests on the apparent similarities between Bobby and Bill, and the fact that Peggy seems to despise Bill despite his obvious affection for her. Personally, I just think Bill, on account of his traumatic childhood, is attracted to/feels most comfortable around people who shit on him, so to speak. I also think Bill and Peggy may have had a brief, non-sexual fling in some distant yesteryear, but nothing that would have resulted in Bobby being born. The writers seem to be aware of this not-so-secret dynamic, though, and seem to tease at it throughout the series (e.g. when Dale proposes that Bill "inseminate" Peggy after Wally proves to be a less-than-stellar son substitute, when Bobby asks Bill if he was adopted, when Peggy and Bill were on the bridge in "Bill of Sales," the secret sauce episode, and more), but, ultimately, I think Bill just sees the Hills as the family he himself would have liked to have had, if things were different. That's why he often expresses jealousy toward Hank, attraction/feelings for Peggy, and a fatherly attitude toward Bobby. He doesn't feel the same for the Gribbles because he knows their "family" was largely built on lies and deceit, whereas Hank and co. seem to embody everything he wants out of a family. Sorry for the novel, but I'm self-quarantining and am watching this series for about the 8th or 9th time haha
@@kjohnson954 That's a fun fan question. We always enjoyed the speculation, but never intended it as a fact. And last time I checked, I was the real one!
You helped make a great series. Thanks! :).
I enjoyed the series. I was sad to see it end. I grew up watching this show from elementary school through college.
Thank you so much for KOTH. I loved every moment of the series.
I honestly don't want another season of this show unless Mike judge can make a final scene that makes me cry again. The simplicity and music at the end of this show, it can't be reproduced
TheMrrobustus i agree. I cried
Analissa Hemsworth you cried? lol 😂
I'll be honest I shed a tear
@@car2004 yea. all of us.
I mean the luanne and lucky wedding episode was almost gonna be the finale, but got 2 more seasons instead, that finale would have been good when hank and the guys had a beer in the alley like always
Honestly i've not watched really any King of the Hill, only a few episodes when I was younger, but even I still felt the sense of community from this scene. People from all walks of life together at peace and a father and his son connecting. Heartwarming.
This scene made me tear up after all those years of one of my favorite shows..
And in true form for the show, Bill is just there at the end, standing alone, and doesn't get his own final scene cuz it was cut.
I mean that’s pretty canon for bill lol
He died
Love Bill, I love all of em.
Yeah it's sad they basically use the Principle Moss episode to show he "doesn't need anyone" when he finally gets everyone to move out and is happy all alone watching TV laughing. Really sad actually. Rather have had them do the wedding cake scene to show he was over his ex wife. But the way they went just shows life isn't fair sadly.
Should have had him attacked by Dale's falcon.
One of the best endings of an animated series I have seen.
I don't even want a reboot, I'd rather have a spin off series centred around a grown up Bobby.
Futurama would win that award
@@keonkeels5691 stop
@ed champagne and you too
@@keonkeels5691 Futurama ending was pure shit. Like... It completely excluded all the characters except Fry and Leela instead of giving us a proper send off. All it did was give us some lame love story about living together in a world where everything else is frozen, then they're gonna forget and presumably go back to normal life. I'm positive way more fans would have preferred the last episode not be hard focused on two characters out of such a large, beloved cast.
@@shikarixox1195 You definitely didn't understand the meaning at the end.
It's enought to make a grown man cry
00:28-00:38 The revival isn't going to be the same without this absolute legend of a voice actor.
00:40-00:45 or these two
Oh God, these three were some of the best characters in the show.
This show made me think I would be talking with my neighbors as an adult.
LOL
@EnriqueLovinLife i know that feel bro
everyones so insecure of integrating and socializing with differing cultures and with the advancements of technology since the 2000s probably limited the amount of community/ block or bay partys and cookouts like this
Theres certain neighborhoods that are like that
@@anonimai Yeah, but seing the income in my neighborhood- they prefer to just glare at you
Hank Hill got what he wanted most in life: Bobby wanted to be like him
That's not it. It's for him and Bobby to have something in common to share and bond over. Something he and Cotton never had.
@@MoeMoon Well said
Maybe Bobby joined the Army and became a War Hero and killed Fity men like his Grandfather.
@@JENDALL714 He made fity men die laughing because of his prop comedy.

RIP Johnny Hardwick Thanks For your performance as Dale one of my favorite characters
That final moment in a show where everyone comes together. This was a great show.
I watched this a year ago. I recently finished the series again. I'm not afraid to admit, I cried. This show was so good. The beginning starts with "that boy ain't right"
Then, just before this scene, HANK SHAKES BOBBY'S HAND!!!
And finally the two tips, after Bobby realizes he'll take after his dad in something he enjoys.
It's got danged beautiful
I got a little lump in my throat too. I always could relate to how much Bobby looked up to his dad.
@@CBiggs-vz9be Me too. Hank was finally proud of Bobby, something I didn't think I could do with my dad for the longest time. It's awesome :)
You should check out meat canyons that boy ain't right for a delightful homage to King of the Hill.
R.I.P. Brittany Murphy
NickyVendetta and tom petty
Britanny Murphy is one of the best VO actresses ever, Luanne is such a great character.
Damn, I found out afterwards that we were the same age....so young pass on like that....😔
She would've made a great Harley Quinn. Another reason we can't have a new series, aside from no Luanne or Lucky, is that it'd be hard to find a way to explain Ladybird still being alive (unless they go the Futurama route and have her head in a jar).
@@dandeleon2764 They should just move time forwards & make a scene in an episode where hank is looking at an old picture of ladybird a bit sad then sees his current bloodhound looking at him & hopping up to lick him.
Such a good show that was ahead of its time. This was nostalgic to see.
This may have been the best finale of a show I’ve seen. It makes me smile and tear up a bit no matter how many times I see it. A perfect show I’ll tell you hwat.
“I’ll tell you what, that boy.....”
“Is alright”
I cried when king of the hill ended. zero shame in admitting that.
it's in my 10 top animes
it’s enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s ok.
You’re being melodramatic
obviously.
Dude, you’re not alone. ❤️

There was also Bernie Macintosh, and Chris Rock and Drew Carry
Oh and Charlie Daniels guest Starred as well
The Bobby/Hank relationship grows so tight here compared to other times they came together because this was something that Hank really felt he was passing on instead of learning to like himself, and Bobby had his own personal interest in separate from whether or not his dad liked it. They could finally be mutual enthusiasts with their own information to share and learn from each other in a language the other was already familiar with. This was the hobby that they could talk about for years to come. And while the propane/charcoal and other heat methods issue was bound to come up again, Bobby had earned Hank's respect on the subject so Hank would definitely be more receptive to the idea specifically from his son who knew more as a teenager about beef than Hank did in his 40's.
