White scrawny pimp from Oklahoma. Also Matthew McConaughey made great work as self-proclaimed genius Rad Thibodeaux. Also Meryl Streep was Esme Dauterive and Reeswitherspoon was Debbie. They really had some big names as guest stars but most of the times they played characters rather then themselfs so many people didn't notice the guest stars.

King of the Hill may not have had as many guest stars as the Simpsons, but IMO they were far better. Aside from the occasional country singer, the vast majority of guest stars on King of the Hill went on the show to stretch their voice talent not to promote their celebrity. They played characters and not themselves.
The Simpsons used to do this early on in the classic era. But pretty soon it just became about promoting lifeless celebrities who had zero voice talent.

Pretty sure that was Phil Hendrie. He's kind of the go-to guy for hippies. He did the voice of all the Freewaterfalls in Futurama.

Yeah, Kind other Hill seemed to have just as many guest stars as the Simpsons at the time, they just didn't seem to exploit them as much.

KOTH god how I miss you.
The Big Mountain Fudgecake episode is airing right now. So many good quotes.
DALE: "Listen, Yoko, I'm the manager of this act and I'm sick of you trying to split them apart!"
LUANNE: "What's a Yoko?"
DALE: "Come on, guys. Did we give up when I left the "e" off of all of our merchandise? No, and we wore those "Fudgecak" T-shirts with pride."
HANK: "Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? I just want a picture of a got-dang hotdog!"
DALE: "Listen, Yoko, I'm the manager of this act and I'm sick of you trying to split them apart!"
LUANNE: "What's a Yoko?"

HANK: "Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? I just want a picture of a got-dang hotdog!"
The competitive eating episode was on the other night. Dale delivered what I felt was a very poignant line to Bill about his talent. It was something along the lines of "Just because you have their attention doesn't mean you have their respect." That's something that's going to stay with me for a while.

Two of my friends never got into KotH, but we have extremely similar tastes in shows and comedies. I need two episodes that will hook them. Any recommendations?
I've been rewatching the earlier seasons on Netflix, and they're just as great as the later seasons. One of my favorite moments from the episode "And They Call It Bobby Love".
::Hank Williams - There's a Tear in my Beer is playing::
"Well, he stopped crying. That's a step in the right direction."
"And the boy's taste in music is getting better too!"

Reminds me of that one where Luanne moves out and Hank stands in her emptied old room, sits in a chair backwards, hit's a boombox which plays Hello Walls.

Lucky may be a character that you really had to grow up in Texas to appreciate.
The episode where he refused to go to the hospital and lubed himself up to escape Hank had me in stitches.
My family REFUSED to go to the hospital unless bones were broken.

King of the Hill gave a nod to a restaurant (Catfish Plantation) in the town I grew up in.
I couldn't find a picture of it, but here's a picture of a picture of it.
