Thank you!

You should totally cover the episode with Luanne’s dad, where instead of having Luanne see the monster he is, they keep her in la la land. Plot holes aside, I think if Luanne could’ve handled the fact her mom was never gonna change, she could’ve handled the fact her father was never gonna change, pregnant or not. At least the episode where she had Gracie showed both sides. And since you wanted an insult compliment: your house is filthy. That just means you get to avoid parties!

I don’t think the goal was to show Luanne as “married to a hillbilly” 1) don’t do Lucky like that. Lucky is a good man and he respects Luanne. Kind of shitty to judge a book by its cover like that, and I would have stronger words if this was about a real person, rather than a cartoon character. 2) Luanne completed her arc and I don’t think they knew what to do with her after that. I don’t think the goal was to show Luanne as being “ruined”, just a failure of the show to evolve, and I think this had a lot to do with outside factors related to Luanne’s voice actress. 3) she didn’t become an “air head”. She started a successful small business around her hobby, and then took on a skilled trade and was successful at it. Again, shitty to judge a book by its cover.

Animals are a bit like this too, but we have society so we make it more complicated than we need to. Part of our behavior in mate attraction displays, we get to choose how we present. Because our ape brains are feeble and react with anger when we think there might be sex (or the ability to watch sex, it’s basically the same thing for the brain) and then we don’t encounter the parts we are programmed to want to see, we have encoded a lot of things around sex and gender to try to make it less complicated and we don’t have to ask questions that might lead to anger. But….a lot of that social programming just isn’t useful anymore, and can be quite confining. Society has progressed to where expression can happen in multiple ways without being tied to old modes of expression. If you want to see where this goes, then just study the history of last social movements around acceptance of different kinds of people.

The sad part is that no one even actively objects to it, which might even serve as a spur to make her lean into it.

Some trivia for this episode: Trip is voiced by Michael Keaton who's known for his comedic role in Beetlejuice and dramatic role in Tim Burton's Batman films. The episode name is the title of a George Bernard Shaw play, "Pygmalion" The Episode is known as the darkest episode of King Of The Hill. It was originally made for Season 5 as a Halloween Special, but was delayed and held back by Fox twice until season 7 for unknown reasons (Potentially to the graphic nature of the episode) This is also one of the only times a character has died in an episode. Debbie Grund accidentally shot and killed herself off screen, Buckley was killed in a propane explosion, Pops died of a heart attack, Jim suffered a stroke, and Cotton died as a result of a fall and passing on in a hospital. However, Trip and Buckley suffered possibly the most brutal deaths. Trip's body was implied to be bloody and mangled, and Buckley's body was so mutilated from the explosion, Dale immediately puked upon peeking into the casket to see if he really was dead. It's unknown why Trip didn't just immediately roll off the machine after seeing the spike. He may have been in too much shock or unable to react fast enough. Its also strange how Peggy and Luanne calmly talk after witnessing Trip's death. There should also have been an emergency shut-off device on the control panel, seeing how an accident could very likely happen on the machine. Considering that the controls did not seem to do any thing, it is most likely that Trip tampered with them earlier. There's a rumor that in the first airing of this episode at the end; Trip's corpse could be seen in the background on a hook, although evidence of the original airing not having it prove this being a hoax [1]. When Hank says "A horse's ass", the first part sounds like it was an audio cut from the rest of the sentence, almost like a rerecording over what was supposed to be said.

Also Peggy and Luanne could have rushed to save him running up to the belt and pulling him off of it. Common sense. Run up to the belt and snatch one of them off. They let him die and it's wild it happened that way.

[@marianfranklin8383]

The ending shocked me as a kid, when the taser cured him. I thought Hank would appear out of nowhere and save him. Then when he got impaled, I just looked at the TV thinking how did they got away with that. Him getting impaled when he was still crazy, dark but I could see that. Him getting impaled but cured, how did FOX let KOTH get away with that.

[@razkable]

It was off screen....and hank just disappeared it seems or went to the bathroom and the ep just ending soon after was weird

[@garuelx8627]

The episode was actually banned for a while because of that.

​@@sunny-lm2npNo, he was clearly cured. The tonality of his voice completely changed his he spoke his voice wasn't completely the same as it was before.

[@60wwediva]

Same! This episode punishes mental illnesses like schizophrenia, manic bipolar and other mental disturbed disorders. Trip Said the voices in his head were gone and he could finally think clearly. This indicates he probably had an extreme form of schizophrenia so I hated that instead of Hank coming in to save him and then trip getting taken to a mental hospital with his pork company shutting down, he gets killed and punished as a gag. It's not right at all.

[@pavonian7531]

I think you could see the Trip part of the story tying in to the Peggy part as them both wanting to control Luannes life for her, so it's less about Peggy learning to be less controlling and more Luanne learning to say no when someone trys to decide who she's going to be for her.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

Even if Luanne was totally in the wrong, I have always found it to be very unprofessional when a manager/supervisor chastises an employee in public. Sometimes dressing a subordinate down is absolutely necessary. However, it should always be done privately. No good ever comes out of publicly embarrassing your employees by dressing them down in front of others. Not in front of other employees, and certainly not in front of customers. It actually makes the boss look very unprofessional which reflects far more poorly on the establishment than a regular employee being unprofessional. The old saying about how a fish rots from the head down comes to mind. The employee will feel bad enough just having been dressed down by a supervisor in the first place. Unless they are a total slacker who just doesn’t care, in which case, best be rid of them. It is interesting though how this episode really illustrates just how Peggy tends to stifle Luanne’s growth the most, even more than Luanne herself does on her own, whereas Hank, who is much harder on her, and really didn’t even want her in the house in the first place, was actually much better at pushing her towards progression and as as far as reaching her own potential. In spite of not really wanting her around, Hank was a true father figure in her life. Now as far as the Trip Larson character dying a gruesome death goes…. That electric shock that made him sane could have been temporary, so better safe than sorry. Lastly, to your point about not liking people telling what to do, more specifically, how to live your life. I am the same way, which is why, like you, I also felt a certain amount of discomfort watching this episode as well, and for pretty much all the same reasons you pointed out.

[@60wwediva]

Jealousy. I always suspected Peggy purposely sabotage Leanna cause she knew Lianne had potential and if Lianne reached her potential, Peggy wouldn't be able to be the smart mouth "educated' woman of the house. Her fragile and fractured ego and self esteem, her arrogance wouldn't br able to handle her trailer park niece excelling and exceeding her. This is why Peggy always tries to have some involvement in liannes life decisions like in this episode so if Luanne does well at least she's doing moderately well but never better than her.

[@ZetaReticuli_]

@@60wwediva Peggy obviously had some major complexity issues. A lot people said she got worse after the skydiving incident. But I attribute most of it to her upbringing, per the episode where they visited her parents in Montana, and how controlling her own mother was, and always put her down. Granted, that's an excuse, because how you deal with something is up to you. The only way Peggy knows to lift herself up, to deal this issue, is keeping someone else beneath her.

[@ninjagregshow9423]

I think luann didn't pursue being a mechanic because "Peggy Hill will not allow her niece to become a grease monkey" you know she'd say it

Mildly surprised there not more reference to Greek the myth of Pygmalion, a king who loved a statue of Aphrodite he carved so much it came to life.

[@KittyMonk]

I like that episode but I hated how they never gave her a good enough reason to wanna die besides “I said so!” At least say something like when her twin sister died, her family moved on or she lost her only friend or she’s like Cotton where she’s the last person left alive or she’s dying and that’s her last wish.

There's ways of calling someone Ignorant without being so... blunt. Naive. Or just couch the word ignorant with language that points out that it's not willful ignorance.

[@patrickbuckley7259]

I don't think ignorant is a bad word, and think we sould not treat it as such. Ignorant means you don't know anything yet. It does not mean your stupid, and thus cannot be taught, backwards and thus know a lot of incorrect information, ect. It's a neutral word, adn should be treated as such.

[@mycoffeequest6634]

Ignorance is when you're not aware of something. By that definition, everyone is ignorant to varying degrees because we can't be all knowing. Therefore, knowledge is a measure of how ignorant someone is: the less ignorant, the more knowledgeable and vice versa. I agree that stupidity is an overused term that is often confused with ignorance. If you call someone stupid for being ignorant, you just insulted every person on the planet (including yourself). Where ignorance requires not knowing, stupidity does require one to know. You know that what you're about to do or say, or not do or not say (or whatever) is not in your best interest -- you know that the potential for harm here exists, and yet, you ignore your better judgement (and maybe that of others) and do it anyway. That is stupidity. Highly intelligent people, even the smartest among us, can be fucking idiots if they keep doing things that harm themselves for whatever reasons that they have.

[@patrickbuckley7259]

@@mycoffeequest6634 I'd argue stupidity has more to do with. An inability or unwillingness to think through or learn from your actions. Ignorance implies one can learn, but hasn't yet. Stupidity implies one can't or I'd argue more commonly refuses to learn.

The smartest people that have ever lived, or will ever live, were born as slobbering infants who can't help but vomit all over themselves from time to time.
