🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To KING OF THE HILL FUNNIEST MOMENTS!

[@lacyLor]

Remember the episode when Hank goes to get his “native Texan” license plate and finds out, not only was he not born in Texas, he was born in the ladies room at Yankee Stadium. 😂😂😂

[@ashleydixon4613]

East Texas is very Southern, and although Texas is where the South meets the desert Southwest, Texas is defined as a Southern state, especially since it was part of the Confederacy that broke away from the US, beginning the Civil War. And yeah, you do occasionally encounter people who talk like Boomhauer. I could understand everything he was saying, but then, I’ve had experience. 😂

[@TheNeonParadox]

This show wasn't just funny, but it was extremely layered with social commentary. And the reason you recognize Hank's voice is because it's pretty much identical to Mr. Anderson from Beavis and Butthead. Mike Judge created and voice acted on both shows.

[@ashleymeggan]

THIS!

[@darianbernard5487]

In its early days late seasons trash

[@eflowers8306]

I've heard people talk like that in NC too.

[@elizabethescalante7866]

It was like a 90's Texas version of F Is For Family, only a LOT more nuance and a LOT less swearing.

[@noahc2078]

Fun fact: Tom Anderson was Mike Judge's inspiration for Hank Hill.

[@Elevatedzebra96]

I can understand 75% of what boom says so I get what he’s trying to say lol, but it’s gotta be hard for people who haven’t encountered people who talk like that in real life😂😂

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

I was gonna say I can follow him. The episode with him and Bob Dylan was comedy gold.

[@DevanLund]

@@peterhineinlegen4672 My fave was when his brother came into to town, voiced by Brad Pitt, and they both talk the same damn way.

[@armpit_farts7327]

I know im from US, but ive lived on Long Island my whole life and I can understand what he is saying. I bet people who really talk that babble some of the important information which makes them hard to truly understand. But the thing I think is well done about Boom is that they make him actually say only the words you need to know, to form the full thought in your head. Its like one of those questions in school "How are these four things related?" lmfaoo.

[@calvinndallas3289]

Arland, Texas is actually a takeoff on the real city of Garland, Texas which is a suburb of Dallas. Show creator Mike Judge once lived Garland. The area is in North Central Texas which was cut off from the confederacy during the Civil War and shares very few commonalities with the Old South even though the State of Texas is geographically located in the South Central US. As for Boomhauer's voice that's based on big rig truck drivers slang talk that was commonly used by truckers using Citizens Band radio to talk in code during the 1970's.

[@birdieberry]

The great John Cleese once said in an interview that of all the people he met in the States, he loves Texans, saying: "They're like British people with guns." 🤣

[@bracejuice7955]

Mike judge got that crazy thick accented voice for Boomhauer from a complaint call for his first show Bevis and Butthead. He talks about it on a clip from Jimmy Kimmel, it’s well worth a watch

[@wordforger]

Someone who can speak redneck was able to figure out that it was probably for Nickolodean complaining about seeing "Porky's Butthole" and the number of commercials in Looney Tunes... But providence (and a very confused receptionist) ensured it got forwarded to exactly the right man for future posterity.

[@christierobinson7707]

Boomhauer’s accent sounds like he is from Deep South , but out in the boondocks! Have literally heard every one of these accents in different parts of the South!😂

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

Basically, Bill Dautrieve is the lovable loser of the show, Dale Gribble is the wacky conspiracy theorist, and that guy you like Jeff Boomhauer is a philosopher and a real man. And Hank Hill is the main focus of the show as he sees things he doesn't understand and hard to accept on a near episode-by-episode basis. It's a lot more wholesome than Mike Judge's other famous show, Beavis & Butt-Head, that's for sure. 1:44 It's based in a fictional suburb of Texas called Arlen, but it's based on the town that series creator Mike Judge grew up in. 9:13 Hell, there's people in Britain who talk a kilometer a minute, I bet. :) 12:28 That's Cotton Hill, Hank's father and a Purple Heart recipient. Lost both of his shins in the war in case you were wondering.

He was my favorite part lol

[@yugioht42]

King of of the hill has some good lessons hidden in all that. its worth watching

[@amberswafford9305]

There’s a large swathe of west Texas where Tennesseans settled and we share a very distinctive accent w them. I once worked at a call center, which is hilarious since many people can’t understand me and I got a linguist on the line once who loved my accent. He said “I know you’re either from East Tennessee or west Texas but I can’t tell which.” He was spot on w his first guess though.

[@andromedaspark2241]

Boomhauer is hard to understand even as a southerner. He didn't say anything about blue suede shoes like you thought, btw. He said something about a Rubik's cube, you do the red side, then the blue side, then to the other and you mess it all up. 😜

[@ashleydixon4613]

One of the funniest shows ever, IMO. I will still watch this show in syndication when I catch it on TV. One of my personal faves is actor Stephen Root, who does the voice of Bill Dauterive (the one who reminded you of Homer). He’s probably best known as Milton from the movie Office Space though (also done by Mike Judge). One of the best character actors out there. RIP to Brittany Murphy (“Luanne”) and Tom Petty (“Lucky.”)

[@ThirstyUrkel]

One of my favorites is when Bobby enters a dance contest with Khan's (the neighbor) dog. Everything is great, Bobby is killin' it with the dog dancing, and one of the judges says "That's one proud bitch." You know what? I'm completely wrong. It's Hank & Lady Bird that are dancing and the quote is " No wonder this proud bitch was named after our former First Lady."

[@hifijohn]

Its an interesting insight into bill, he wants to enter the contest and gets a crazy dog from the pound, even though the dog tries his best to tear bill apart , hes completely oblivious to it.

[@Timmycoo]

I love that you said Homer because Mike Judge did do a crossover with the Simpsons for a short snippet. Also yeah Bill's story is actually pretty emotional. Also now you know where the pocket sand meme came from. It's used more than once in this show lol. All by Dale.

[@cici7333]

Texans sound like each of these characters, including like Boomhauer (the blond guy). I live in Texas, and I LOVE King Of The Hill!

[@joemax4535]

"My boy is quitting sports to play soccer" hank hill

[@kevinbrown-ge6sz]

There's a pattern to the way Boomhauer talks. For example, "dang ole" is in every sentence. After a few episodes it becomes easier to understand what he's saying.

[@teeteelouky8407]

Yes there are people that talk exactly like that in Texas!

[@dicerosautismambient4894]

More "King of the Hill" reactions. One of the best cartoons.

[@lacyLor]

Texas is ridiculously big, lots of accents. Depends a lot on rural or urban. This show is so great. Pokes fun without being insulting. Wholesome, smart, and hilarious. I’d watch it over anything the Simpsons has put out the last 15 years.

Yep. It's part Southern and part Southwestern, with too much of both to be either. And it sure as heck isn't Midwestern because we like our food to have flavor.

[@sikksotoo]

The voice actress who does Bobby is on a lot more animated series including Human Resources, Bob's Burgers and Archer. Hank is loosely based on Beavis and Butthead's neighbor from their MTV show and done by the creator himself (Mike Judge)

Kill of the Hill is such a good show a funny. It has some good life lessons in there as well. I love how Boomhauer talks. My dad said when he went to Texas he said there were a few people that did talk like that.

[@TheRealVorynDagoth]

3:20 in this episode some Tibetan Buddhist monks came to test Kahn's daughter and another character to see if any of them are the reincarnation of Llama Sanglug (fictional) who is the 14th in line to be Dalai Llama (fictional.) When Bobby finds out that Connie will be taken to a monestary if she passes he tries to interfere with the test.....and ends up passing. The monks are astounded and send for a higher up to confirm with a 2nd test. Peggy yells this inbetween test 1 and 2. The episode ends strongly implying Bobby is a reincarnated Llama and that he chose a normal family life. After this he can be seen meditating and doing several zen like activities as pertinent but minor plot points in several episodes.

[@alinesarabia1544]

We used to love that show! It takes place in a fictional northeast Texas town. They do an excellent job representing those accents, and weird things that Texans say and do. Many Texans don't have a very strong accent, but those that do have a very recognizable accent. I worked to get rid of mine so I could sound more professional. However, it comes back when I'm tired or tipsy. The accents in this show are very typical. Boomhauer's is exaggerated, but there are people who do talk like that.

[@murieljames4022]

Kabir, you can’t take everything in this show seriously, it is what it is a entertaining tv show, something’s will fit the status quo but other stuff is fabricated! Yes, there are people that talk like that guy. Texas is a southern state! Watching from Maryland USA 🇺🇸!

Funny recurring plot is Dale's "son" Joseph Gribble is actually the son of the Native American acquaintance John Redcorn. Dale's wife is still having an affair with Redcorn and everyone knows but Dale who is clueless even though the boy looks exactly like Redcorn. This is a running joke throughout the series.

[@ShaunRF]

Many people think Dale does know but his sense of honor doesn’t allow him to divorce her.

Great show, King of the Hill. It's loosely based on a suburb of Dallas, TX called Garland (the fictional city in the show is called Arlen, TX).

[@lacyLor]

If you filter out “dang ol” “talkin bout” “I tell you what” and “man” you can start to figure out what Boomhauer is saying. It’s probably easier for those of us who’ve heard people talk close to this way. Lol.

[@lacyLor]

[@melaniedejonge5234]

If you recognize Bobby's voice, it's probably because the actor who plays him (Pamela Adlon) is fairly well-known. You've likely seen her in a lot of other things!

[@paullangland6877]

King of the Hill is set in Texas which is the big state in the southern part of the US. If you need help finding it, just use google and you'll find it. The town, Arlen is a fictional town, it's supposed to be a mix of Garland, Texas and Arlington, Texas. I think the actual location is suppose somewhere outside of the Dallas area but is somehow a two hour drive away from Houston(there is an episode where I learned that).

[@ashleydixon4613]

Of course, because Cotton Hill lives in Houston! I always figured it was somewhere south of the DFW area because that’s the airport they use. And the references to Houston and other areas farther south don’t seem as far. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m from Arkansas, and remember the episode where Hank had to go rescue Bobby from Mr. Strickland, who had taken him up here to Hot Springs to gamble. Hank passing the “Welcome to Hot Springs, hometown of Bill Clinton” sign and immediately locking the doors...😂😂😂 Don’t get me wrong, I actually love the Clintons (if Bill could just have a little more self-control when it comes to women), but that was hilarious!

[@david-1775]

Texas is like the South's cousin. We share a lot of the South's culture but we are rather unique. Accents tend to be very light in cities and more pronounced in the rural areas. Also in south Texas you have a lot of hispanics/latinos so you also get a Spanish accent as well. People like Boomhauer are very uncommon but you will hear accents like Hanks from time to time.

[@dblev2019]

I am a Texan and I love King of the Hill. The show was modeled after a collage of Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs (Arlington, Allen, Garland, Grand Prairie). I myself am from Arlington. An episode that stuck out to me was when Hank tried to get the Cowboys to relocate their training camp to Arlen. The real life parallel comes from the efforts Arlington made to get the Cowboys to build their new stadium in Arlington, an effort which ultimately paid off. Hank didn’t have the same luck. As for Boomhauer, he has a Cajun accent which can be found in the neighboring state of Louisiana. Texas wouldn’t be considered Deep South, it’s more likely to be lumped in with the Southwest. In reality, Texas is Texas, and the state has a vast landscape, from the piney woods of East Texas to the sand dunes of West Texas, the beaches of Gulf Coast to Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle, Texas has a very diverse landscape and really is a region to itself.

[@terrigaines1812]

Texas is considered a southern state and I live in Kentucky and I have an uncle that talks like Boomhauer.

[@theguywhoasked5591]

You should watch the video of how Mike Judge came up with the voice of Boomhauer which is the guy who talks really fast. It’s a really hilarious story.

[@rswear]

Texas is almost 3 times the size of the UK, so it has a variety of dialects. Southeast Texas boards on Louisiana with it's Cajun accent so you can defiantly get some bleed over. No clue where Boomhauer is from however. In one of the final episodes they revel he is a Texas Ranger.

The clips you played were funny just the way they were shown, but they are even more funny when you know the context behind them. King of the Hill is character driven, and it almost never sacrificed character for a short-term plot or quick laugh.

King of the Hill is set near Dallas, Texas kinda more small town Texas really. Hank (the Dad) is an assistant manager at a propane company but has very Christian values and doesn't take to modern ideas very well but a big sports nut, Peggy (mom) born in Montana and moved to Texas with an very overinflated Ego but a sub Spanish teacher that can't speak any Spanish and became a Realtor and hobbyist writer for the local newspaper, Bobby (kid) age 13 though a bit younger during the first couple seasons who goes to Tom Landry Middle school just trying to navigate through his life but doesn't have much interest in sports and prefers to be lazy. Kahn (pronounced Con) is the aisan next door neighbor who is a tech guy for a Government company that made Ceramics until he became an IT for a company in Houston forcing a commute everyday, Minh is the wife of Kahn who is a Tiger mom but knows guns, Connie the daughter is somehow gifted and is a genius who is pressured to skip grades and soar academically. Boomhaur (the single guy) is a fast talking guy who you never understand as he mashes words so much but single and he's basically a male slut that sleeps with anything though he does have standards. Bill (the bald guy) is a depressed and divorced army barber that just can't get his life together as his Divorce was just a mess and his Ex-wife used him to extort money from whoever and basically dumped him. Dale (guy in the hat) is a pest exterminator but a big crazy conspiracy nut that sometimes goes too far, Nancy is his "wife" and that's loosely said as she is smoking hot but cheated on Dale so much and Dale never knows and was the weather girl on the news that switched to the desk, Joesph is their son (actually Fathered by John Redcorn) and is gifted in sports but kinda lacks direction in life. John redcorn is an american native who knows what Joesph is and tries treating like his real son (as he is) but can't reveal it as Dale doesn't know but a massage therapist by trade and has a band that plays parties every so often. Hank works for Buck Strickland of strickland propane. Buck is really shady guy as he gambles too much, has like eight divorces, and basically drinks till he passes out. Buck is just ridiculous but he can get serious when forced to and that's why hank admires him but the other stuff Hank just deals with.

I understand why Kabir doesn't think Texas is southern. Geography-wise, most of it would count as Southwestern with the plains and deserts on the west. Also culturally, it has a large Mexican population just like other Southwestern states compared to the large African American population in the Southeast like Georgia. Accent-wise, they have their own version of "Southern" accent compared to other Southern states. There's the "colonial" south like Carolinas, Georgia, and even Virginia. There's the "Appalachian" aka "hillbilly" south like Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. There's the "Deep South" aka Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Then there's Texas.

[@TheRealdal]

You'd have to watch the show over time to understand how funny the characters are. And yes, Texans have an accent. However, there are different Southern accents in the States. Some Southern accents are smooth and drawn out more...Texan accents is a bit of South and Midwest accent mixed. The ascent is a bit more "blunt" or "hard" than it is in like Lousiana.

Boomhauer speaks a very real accent in southeastern Texas, and Lousianna, commonly known as coon-ass, its a type of cajun accent, ironically many of these people speak very good french.

Texas is a southern state. It was part of the confederacy during the civil war here. There is a Texas accent that is hard to understand (from only a certain region of TX).

Boomhauer isn't typical of most Texan accents but it's not unheard of. I think it's just exaggerated for the comedy, that someone might not really be able to understand a thick accent. Texas has a very distinct accent, I think he's a play on Matthew McConahey with his tan and his Speedo and his love for sports cars.

Texas has a pretty diverse range of accents. It's a huge state that's in a few different regions.
