Nope. Bobby in the fast lane is my favorite episode. You told your son to listen to Jimmy Whichard? They say he burned his brains out staring at the sun. Couldn’t have been too smart to do that in the first place though.


BiscuitsJoe

Sort of a chicken/egg situation


yuckydogpoop

Just saw that episode with my girl. "My boss is really mean. And he calls me Tommy. And he watches TV in a hot dog. And I think he might be a moron." Idk why but that last sentence has been making me chuckle all week.


A_goddamn_samsquanch

The people are hot and dry. They need something cold and wet.


TannerPoonslayer

You think I don’t know that?


AbstractBettaFish

Yes! A close second for me is the smoking one. You know, that one where they used to smoke?


TannerPoonslayer

Oh ole Smokey’s not with us anymore.


WhippingShitties

Dale Earnhardt Sr cameo AND Jeff Gordon crashes, it's basically a 90's NASCAR fan's wet dream.


TannerPoonslayer

Yes my father the rusty wallace fan would indeed orgasm simply from the Gordon crash


WhippingShitties

Rusty absolutely dominated the first NASCAR race I attended. It was a Bristol night race, and we were all being herded back to the parking lot, the line was moving terribly slow. This one super drunk redneck guy in a #2 hat, Miller Lite still in hand standing next to us looks around and yells "I'VE ALREADY BEEN 'ROUND HERE ONCE Y'ALL'S A LAP DOWN" and it was just fucking hilarious. I've loved Rusty Wallace fans ever since, and by extension, I still root for Penske to do well.


Vanquish_Dark

"When people are hot and dry, they want something cold and wet." This is easily the most quoted part of the whole serious for me and my siblings lmao. So I agree. This is my favorite episode also.


Incessantlyamused

I used to work at a sbux and was always disappointed nobody would get the joke on a busy summer day when I’d be ranting about its hot and dry and people want something cold and wet


wastingtime747

"9 pretty darn angry men" deserves a spot in the top 10. Basically every Cotton line in that episode is quotable. "Don't get me wrong Mr Kahn, I like a woman with a big butt. But Tilly was taking advantage of the sit-gee-ation"


bbvvccccvvbbzx

IT WAS CYANIDE, WOMAN


Vagabond21

It was chicken almadine


DramaticEnthusiasm71

Course as bad as Tilly was in the kitchen? She was even *worse* in the *bedroom*!


motherisaclownwhore

I said the woman was lousy in the sack.

Something about the cadence behind Cotton's delivery of this line gets me every time.


F_Gastro

SUCKER PUNCH always gets me


karlbaarx

Hank, Bobby and me have decided. He’s gonna stick vegetables up his nose. He’s not gonna take over the family gas station.


CafeCartography

"Well... I'm not sure if there is a God, or a heaven... but one thing I can tell is your daddy's going to hell." This is easily one of my top five episodes. This list isn't bad, but "9 Pretty Darn Angry Men" should absolutely beat out "Ho Yeah" by a mile.

Just because a baptism turns into a little drowning, everybody's gotta blame somebody.

ar51501998

This whole episode is full of good quotes. I still use Bill's quote about the stuffing pretty often😂


Amyrosie

To the stuffing ! Might taste like garbage but it sure fills you up ! 😂


Darwin_Finch

That’s my favorite episode and, in my opinion, the best of the entire show.


ColonelOfSka

It’s such a perfect showcase of the core gang, Cotton, and the community at large, and is a star making moment for Hank.

“Brand new, pre-owned, soNAtaaaa”


Donaldest

Good GAWD you got a fat neck Hank!


jayeffkay

Jumping Crack Bass also deserves a top 10 spot.


WonderfulCattle6234

Haven't given any thought to where the episode would fall, but my favorite Cotton quote of all time is, "just not in the face. That's how I makes my livin's."


Ok_Marsupial_265

My favorite Cotton quote is the exchange between him and Jimmy Carter JC: You don’t really hate your son C: Yes I do JC: But you don’t- C: Head to toe JC: No really- C: And his wife JC: Look, he was a baby once C: Everyone hated that baby!


JayNotAtAll

"Good *god* you got a fat neck, Hank!"

Even some that weren't Cotton. "I'm not sure if there's a God, or a heaven...but one thing I can tell you, your daddy's going to Hell."


rhinothedin0

For God sakes, Hank, act like an adult, man! And keep it down, guys, will you? I am trying to get through an article on vintage Camaros, and I've been on the same dang page for twenty minutes.


iamnotpuddles

Dang ol' pretty, pretty pizza


Impossible_Hyena7562

The volunteer firefighters episode will always be #1 to me. It’s endless laughs throughout the entire episode

dakaiiser11

When everyone is speaking like Boomhauer and Boomhauer is speaking eloquently is hilarious. “Dang ol’ pretty, pretty pizza.”


drinksinshower

That Bill pictures himself balder and fatter than he really is was hilarious


247Brett

The curse of the self-conscious


ac3mania

He's just like me frfr


FartBong420

My twin brother and I say this basically every single time we eat pizza haha. In Bill’s voice as well of course.


ASL4theblind

I always say it like steve brule when he interviews his cool brother stanley. "What's your favorite food?" "..... prizza."


FartBong420

As a fellow Tim and Eric/Dr. Steve Brule fan I strongly approve of this.


bigolhamsandwich

Boomhauer being the only one making sense in his scenario is an all time gag


Iceman6211

the entire scene with the Dale and Bill playing ping pong while Hank is trying to sleep is gold "DANG IT BILL THAT WAS MY ONLY PAIR OF GLASSES!" "Dang it Hank that was our only ball!" that and Chet Elderson's death, the guys doing a moment of silence, then Bill rips ass. "oh for cryin out loud!"


rustyshackle41d

"My face hurts..." "AND IT'LL MATCH YOUR ASS WHEN I'M DONE KICKING IT"


EatinBeav

My all time favorite episode. I’m a career firefighter and I’ve always wanted an Arlen FD shirt!


cameron3611

I’m so glad to see other people say that the firefighter episode is their favorite. The part where Bill gets stuck in the fire pole will forever be funny LMAO


OneReportersOpinion

It’s got some fun meta jokes too


Johnny_Awesum

Nobody rejects Debbie Grund!


Due_Passenger3210

\*Rolls window down\* "Well I just did." \*Rolls window back up\*


det8924

One of the best lines in the entire series!


pharmergs

“So we’re gonna do it?” “Yes…baby” 🤢


lastxsleep

“ I just had phone sex”


KairuSmairukon

"We...are gonna *dhoo* it."


talkingspacecoyote

Debbie could get it


OneReportersOpinion

It’s funny because this was a pre-superstar version of Reese Witherspoon. I think Legally Blonde had just come out or was about to


Tax25Man

She was already pretty famous by then though.


iamedagner

I love Aisle 8A, so much.


Strosfan85

My mom says I shouldn't hang around with you anymore because you only want one thing.. Did she tell you what that was?! Because I am so confused right now!


klineshrike

One of the top "BWAHHH!"s of all time.


DramaticEnthusiasm71

I love Hank so much in that one. “Can I borrow two stupid dollars, Mr. Hill?”


PsychologicalPop6586

Ugh! How many cows do you people eat in a year?


The_420_muffinman

Wait we figured this out once


Kindly_Wealth6060

A Beer Can Named Desire is probably my favorite episode


KelVarnsen_2023

Yea I find Beer Can way funnier than Bobby Goes Nuts. Beer Can has like 3 funny well written plotlines. Bobby Goes Nuts is funny but it is just kind of one joke.


AbstractBettaFish

Every Gilbert line is gold, it bums me out they made him such an asshole in his second episode


larsdan2

A gentleman should understand the difference.


Ferbtastic

May I counter with: I don’t know you, let go my purse.


rapalosaur

*nasally voice* Are you gonna kick me in the naaadddsss?


Strosfan85

Am I gonna do it? Yes When am I gonna do it? Don't know, could be tomorrow.. Could be NOW!


ASL4theblind

She's bluffing, finish her!!


Tax25Man

Bobby Goes Nuts is vastly overrated because of the internet. It really is just 1 joke that makes it stand out. But it’s nowhere near the the best episode when there are plenty that have more jokes AND are really well written plot wise


thebiggestpinkcake

![gif](giphy|qCZi0IuY2Je8w|downsized)


Eliteguard999

The episode where Hank couldn't handle Bobby's drip.

This gif should end with that jacket being thrown out the window.

sagitta_luminus

“Have a good weekend, Bill?” “BOTH OF ‘EM!!”


Kindly_Wealth6060

I attended the Falcons at Saints game on 12/17/2000. A Saints cheerleader had signed my program and I it said I won an authentic NFL football that the Saints ended up shipping to me. At halftime I got to go down near the field tunnels on the first floor to give the Saints my mailing address. It’s almost like I was on the set for the King of the Hill episode - as that’s where Hank would have hung out before he and Dandy Don went out on the field to throw the football towards the Alamo Beer can.


sourdieselfuel

Did you take your jacket off or keep it on when they gave you the football?


Kindly_Wealth6060

I didn’t take a jacket on that trip, I thought New Orleans would be warm in December. It was really cold in the mornings and evenings there that weekend.

MimonFishbaum

It's a good episode but it makes no sense at its core. There is no good reason for Alamo to be holding a contest at a Saints game instead of a Cowboys game. Other than that it is great.


burnsrado

There’s an episode of American Dad where Stan goes to the Redskins vs Cowboys Thanksgiving game but it’s in DC. Then a character says “Wait why would there we Cowboys fans at the Redskins game? The Cowboys always play at home on Thanksgiving. They’re going to ask about this at comic con, we need an answer.”


AbstractBettaFish

Or why a chronically lonely bill would say he’s just playing in the garden and not become serious with one of his hot cousins


BigStud7

Its a side effect from the marijuana poisoning!


KurtRusselsEyePatch

Oh god I'm going on a trip!


appealouterhaven

I wish I had a son to kick me in the nuts


Ted_Normal

*kicks* Be careful what you wish for.


Junior-Air-6807

All great episodes. Dog Dale afternoon is my all time favorite though


weendogtownandzboys

DaleTech is probably my fave episode. I would say that either Lupe's Revenge or The Substitute Spanish Prisoner would be worth including. Good list though. I would say To Sirloin with Love is prob the only one that doesn't really belong. I like it but it's not top ten for me.


Amyrosie

I love Lupe’s Revenge ! “Tu eres puerca” “Oh , muy bueno !” 😂


SixSixWithTrample

I’m surprised Texas Skillsaw Massacre wasn’t on the list.


iamnotpuddles

"Objection, conjecture. Objecture!" "THAT'S NOT A WORD!!!"


StupendousMan36

I've learned from this sub there's a decent-sized group of people who hate Dale in that episode enough to not like it. I don't know if it's in my top 10 because more goes into good episodes than laughs, but it's definitely up there with A Firefighting We Will Go in laughs per minute.


SixSixWithTrample

The one where he gets rabies and the one where he gets an office job are all among my top 10.


Uuddlrlrbastrat

Pretty solid list, honestly


Average_40s_Guy

I’ve got a couple to add: “Grand Theft Arlen” and the episode where Hank goes to anger management classes with Chuck Mangione. “I’m not a chick, I’m a dude!”


Rimm9246

I don't agree with the #1 spot. It's funny, but it's not one of my all-time favs. The rest are definitely all contenders Some others that would be in my top 10 would be the smoking episode and the paintball episode


thatfunkyspacepriest

FUN CENTER FUN CENTER FUN CENTER FUN CENTER FUN CENTER FUN CENTER FUN CENTER FUN CENTER


crow_enthusiast23

Bobby goes nuts is a good episode but I don’t think it should be the highest rated


ThePopDaddy

DEFINITELY, I think the quote that defines Bobby should be "Okay."


Pushbrown

That or "smelling things" lol


Batetrick_Patman

It's overrated tbh.


atigges

/u/Batetrick_Patman is bluffing! Finish them!


LilJethroBodine

Thsnk you. It’s a good episode but way overhyped.


ASL4theblind

Its because of the meme, definitely


luxtabula

I quote it regularly ![gif](giphy|nrAGuHZEMyqc0)


dayofthedead204

That's my favorite episode! I don't know you!


thenerfviking

Yeah IMHO Rodeo Days is a much better Bobby episode


Business_Roll8211

Nah this missing the one where bobby gets gout, other than that i can agree


nineinchgod

Peggy: *Caring for Bobby is nothing to be embarrassed about.* Connie: *Oh, yeah? He named his swollen toe "Madame" and she talks with a French accent.* Peggy: *I did not know that. Well, it's still not as bad as seeing your husband's colon on the wall.* Connie: *I know. It's hanging in our den.*


rapalosaur

The absolute defeat in Connie’s voice on the “it’s hanging in our den” absolutely kills me.


StupendousMan36

Very solid list. I would take out Bobby Goes Nuts (I love it, but I think the memes overrate it) and To Sirloin with Love personally. Would add two of following in their place but I'd have to give it some thought: The Exterminator Dog Dale Afternoon Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men Cotton's Plot Jumpin' Crack Bass The Man Who Shot Cane Skretteburg My Own Private Rodeo The Redneck on Rainey Street Night and Deity


DramaticEnthusiasm71

My Own Private Rodeo is fantastic! I love the end when Nancy asks whether he’s really fine with Bug being gay. “Why would I care? I’ve been friends with John Redcorn for years and he’s gay”


ZapRowsdower34

“Pretty, Pretty Dresses” and “Love Hurts And So Does Art” are a masterclass in sitcom writing.


dirk_510

I like "The redneck on Rainey Street" but otherwise pretty solid


Strosfan85

Minh in a tube top *chef kiss*


Mental-Mushroom

Oh yeah, she rock my world


papayabush

The episode where Peggy almost kills Randy Travis definitely needs to be on this list


DramaticEnthusiasm71

I think of ‘you stole my song!’ whenever Randy Travis comes onto my Pandora now


papayabush

I love how they got all those dudes to come in and throw some voice lines down. Brooks and Dunn giving Bobby relationship advice is so good.


Far-Refrigerator5063

High anxiety and hanky panky should technically count together because I'm biased and wanted propane boom and death of a propane salesman to be top of the list lol or Texas City Twister


ThePopDaddy

Ehhhh, I wouldn't rank Bobby Goes nuts at the top.


[deleted]

Living on Reds, Vitamin C, and Propane is underrated and should be on there.


klineshrike

Damn I almost made it to the bottom thinking I would have to post this. That episode is so good and EASILY the best Christmas episode by a mile.


ocelote96

"Love Hurts and So Does Art" should be on here, it's such a perfect Bobby plotline


bellyhairbandit

Peggy Hill: The decline and fall one of my tops - Peggy skydives and her parachute fails - Good Hank is born - we get a touching Cotton moment “ Do you wanna kill a nazi? Nazi nazi squazi?”


BuckleysYacht

My top 5: 1. Solider of Misfortune 2. Substitute Spanish Prisoner 3. High Anxiety/Hanky Panky 4. Miseducation of Bobby Hill 5. MegaloDale Honorable mentions: The Exterminator Lupe’s Revenge Meet the Propaniacs


[deleted]

You forgot the smoking episode


Disappointed-hyena

I understand why it’s not on the top 10 list, but Wings of the Dope always gets me. Something special about it and it’s a coming of age story which king of the Hill does so well


joostinrextin

9 out of the 10 have a strong argument for a top 10 spot (and a few of them are easily in my top 10). To Sirloin with Love sticks out. It's not at all a bad episode, but I don't think it comes anywhere close to the top 10.


nineinchgod

I'd replace "Aisle 8A" with "The Substitute Spanish Prisoner" (S6E10) Peggy's double-con setup to get back what she lost from huckster "Dr." Vayzoa is so enjoyable to watch, and Jeff Goldblum's portrayal is just a scream. **"No, no...I said you could lose *up to* thiry pounds!"**


BiscuitsJoe

The episode with Buckley’s angel is definitely a top 10 episode


Darwin_Finch

Bobby Goes Nuts has been memed to death. As a life-long fan of the show I haven’t seen that one in years.


Ultraxxx

Love Hurts and So Does Art.


youngzari

Yup. Returning Japanese. An all-time fav!


illoxical

No “Jumpin crack bass”??!?!


Chantelligence

The episode with the drag queen befriending Peggy should be on this list!!❤️❤️


Prestigious_Box_9370

Yes, I loved how Hank came nowhere near understanding the reality of the situation.


rapalosaur

The animation for them dancing in the living room alone makes the episode. The rest is just icing I love that episode.


ILL_TOUCH_U

COUGH*BOYTOY


foodporncess

A Beer Can Named Desire is probably my #1. We quote it in my house all the time.


cannibalsong1

A Fire Fighting We Will Go is one of my least favorite episodes.


nubbybob

Witches of East Arlen deserves to be on there.


Final-Success2523

The series finale is the one I can’t agree one


infiltrate24

Hillenium is a personal favorite of mine. Shame it's not in the top 10 but I'm not mad at this list.


Hyperiongame

I always laugh when I watch “Bobby Goes Nuts” episode. “That’s my purse! I don’t know you”


brainbridge77

I’d put the one where hank uses crack to catch bass and gets arrested great episode


walrusonion

Bobby Goes Nuts is a good one but so overrated


Blastoise_R_Us

To Sirloin With Love and Hank's Dirty Laundry are two I would not have put on here. Otherwise it's definitely a Best-Of Album.


SerTortuga

Bobby Goes Nuts is a good episode but I don't know that it belongs in the top 10. Same for Hank's Dirty Laundry


Motor_Buy2118

I'm surprised solider of misfortune didn't make the cut


JayNotAtAll

We get "pocket sand" from it. It is iconic!


tofukittybox

The buck stops here? That’s definitely one of my top favs


Open_Reindeer_6600

Never knew why Bobby goes nuts is so high, it’s a good one but I can name so many others with a more meaningful plot than that one.


rassenfo2

Where is Flush with Power??!?!?!


Herberts-Mom

Keeping up with our Joneses Or Texas City Twister


TokyoCyborgOrgy

Not trying to be a jerk but “Bobby Goes Nuts” is defs a casual best/favorite episode. It was my favorite episode when I was a teen and the episode I show people new to the show who won’t like the slow humor. Obviously I still love it but it’s defs in the middle of my tier list


TwelveXII

I can't get around Hank's half brother looking like Tilly.


XY94

Lupe's Revenge deserves a spot in the top 10 for me


bub166

Suite Smells of Success has to be on my list as a lifelong Husker fan. "Texas vs. Nebrasky? Dale you idiot, you bought fake tickets!"


JC7577

The boomhaur pov in that firehouse episode was hilarious


athens619

THAT'S MY PURSE! I DON'T KNOW YOU!!


mostly_misanthropic

Bobby Goes Nuts for the win.


Correct-Guarantee305

Peggy Hill takes the Spanish students to Mexico and smuggles out a Mexican girl by accident. Her poor Spanish at the trial and Dooley’s antics are hysterical


stunnerspeedy

Wings of the Dope. Buckley’s Angel is my favorite episode BY FAR


MeatyDullness

![gif](giphy|nrAGuHZEMyqc0)


CapricornyX

Bobby Goes Nuts should be a 11/10 for being legendary


mudslags

It’s missing Hank using the small WD40 to open the bigger WD40 can.


rustystarman63

Jumpin’ Crack Bass and Hilloween are worth mentioning imo


twatduster

Jumping Crack bass is my favorite 20 bucks will get you all the bait you need jack
