king of the hill the good-hearted show that tackled all sides of American
culture a show with a true everyman hero one of the funniest and most relatable
cartoons out there and the show that helped originally blow up this very
channel and yes I'll say it again for the thousandth time it's my favorite
animated show ever made we've talked about the dark theories the best
episodes and the lessons that we learned from Hank Hill but today we're gonna try
something a bit different today we're gonna dig into the true character of all
of our favorite Ireland residents because like it or not as much as we
love them they're flawed and that is exactly what makes them relatable they
exist on a spectrum of morality from good and pure all the way to mean
narcissistic and downright and moral
so we're gonna explore where all of these characters fall we're gonna take
all of the show's main characters and break them down to see where they fall
on the spectrum of morality which residents of Arlen are good which are
bad and who just falls in the middle I'm Kyle with wicked binge and this is good
too evil king of the hill and just to clarify the two ends of the spectrum
don't necessarily mean the purest form of good and evil although maybe
depending on your perspective we're just ranking these characters in
relation to the show with that said let's get started now let's start off
with the character who we believe represents the most good Bobby hill
y'all know but having this people now I know there are gonna be people out there
upset that we didn't pick Hank Hill as the most righteous character but hear us
out we'll talk about Hank in a moment and although we believe he is a good man
without a doubt who's constantly trying to better himself and do the right thing
we have a couple small critiques that we'll get to but Bobby Bobby is a sweet
little angel who in many ways represents innocence and not only that he's been
raised very well by his father who has instilled those good old-fashioned Hank
Hill values onto him but what's most interesting is that it seems as though
Bobby actually teaches Hank and Peggy as much as Hank teaches him he has embraced
much of what makes Hank a good person as well as develops his own good morals
that he teaches to others so what do you say oh no work the truth is Bobby is a
good boy and in many ways too pure for this cold world you sure love your
parents dude you're gay okay next up don't worry it's Hank Hill Hank is a
near perfect representation of integrity hard work and good values everyone who
hasn't had premarital sex gets ice cream and he's somebody who commits to
whatever good values that he deems important no matter the cost
head to feet you won't cause a leak feet to head everyone's dead occasionally he
even takes this to an excessive almost OCD level and at times he becomes a bit
too judgmental along the way towards the things that he doesn't understand but
what makes Hank a great person is that he usually learns from his mistakes and
grows he acknowledges his mistakes and strives to be a better person
truthfully this means a lot his integrity makes him a better man than
most what do you say guys we need more of this weed and more of
astute but I have one gripe with Hank on the morality issue and this is also a
strike against bill and Boomhauer as well Hank chooses to look the other
direction while one of his best friends is cheated on by his wife she didn't
leave you for that she married that two years before she met you in many ways
this plays into Hanks uncomfortable around anything risque characteristic
well I just did but still this is a betrayal no matter how you look at it
and the argument that not knowing the truth is better for Dale is a weak one
especially considering Hank is not the type to take the easy road that aside
Hank is a good man really a great one but this is definitely a character flaw
and I think many would agree a pretty notable betrayal even given how much of
a pain in the neck Dale is she's my ho now next up I'm gonna put down Connie
and then Joseph I rank them next because they both have the innocence of Bobby
although Bobby's character is more flushed out and more importantly
selfless I do think that both Connie and Joseph are obviously good kids but so
are a lot of kids given their age it's obviously really difficult to even
compare them to adults but if we had to we would put Connie next followed by
Joseph okay next is Bill Doe treif we're not going to get into the complicity of
not telling Dale about his wife's affair again although it is relevant here - but
I think that because Bill is so desperate for acceptance it makes more
sense that he wouldn't speak up is that my belt sander no it's mine
Walli bought it and gave it to me as a present he's had a tough life and he's
just trying to get by despite being weird and a bit of a creep
but it's also worth noting that whenever he gets a bit of success for instance
when he started working out he often times turns on the people that are loyal
to him usually because he's so desperate to be accepted by others all right let's
talk Boomhauer yo mandingo people talking about boom
dang old man talking about ladies man dang ol not true ain't no boom yeah man
maybe I don't show you something I don't say boom talking about dang old chicks
man talking about boom business is his business God dang grown adults man dang
old slander I tell you what dang old truth is dang old treason man and Empire
lies man that dang ol complicated you know man I got down rubik's cube man
like told me blue red man then you get one side and like mess it up the other
side man ok moving on Luanne at this point we're still dealing
with overall good people and you really have to look deeper into Luann's
character sometimes it's hard to you because the main characteristic you
notice is that she's well dumb as a box of rocks but that has nothing to do with
her morality LuAnn at the end of the day is a good-natured person simple and
well-meaning and there's nothing about her that would indicate that she would
double-cross or harm anyone arguably the worst characteristics that she has is
that she is a bit selfish she doesn't really do much to help others but one
could argue that she doesn't really have the mental capacity to do so
I don't want to go back to college so please help me be sexy but at the end of
the day she does her best now let's talk about lucky I really wanted to rank him
a bit higher after all he's a good-natured person he means well and I
don't think that he would ever hurt a fly
but he has a huge character flaw Lucky's whole outlook on life involves leeching
off others from bogus lawsuits to trying to
concoct new bogus lawsuits to doing everything that he can to avoid working
or holding a job I'm in constant pain but by god I got me a fifty three
thousand dollar settlement this behavior is way too negative to
rank him higher up I think lucky has the potential to be a
better person and I think it took Hank Hill to kick him in the right direction
later on in the series but he still had quite a way to go we're not leaving
without our small appliance all right next up is min so Ming definitely has
some negative character traits she's certainly mean to those outside of her
close circle and more specifically she's very superficial when it comes to trying
to climb social ladders Xin out a big muck amuck on Membership Committee with
that said I'd argue that Kahn is way worse of the two and she's usually the
one who reels him back in additionally everything else aside she's
incredibly loyal when it comes to family and at the end of the day that counts
for a lot you rock my world next up John Redcorn
now many would say that he should be ranked way worse given his long-term
affair with Nancy but let's be real he isn't exactly a close friend of Dale's
arguably in some episodes it seems like a friendship between the two begins to
bud but really it seems like their acquaintances at best what do you say
John Redcorn will you heal my life although there's a moderate amount of
immorality and his part of the infidelity Nancy is the one with the
commitment and thus the burden is overwhelmingly on her and then one day
you look up and you're 40 you're 40 Hank additionally Redcorn seems to have
genuine feelings for Nancy and if anything it's clear that she's stringing
him along oh boy now let's talk about means other half Kahn really all of
Kahn's negative personality traits are that of men's but way more aggressive he
is relentlessly shallow when it comes to his social class and climbing those
social ladders you ever make love to a future millionaire on pile of quarters
and he's also one of the meanest characters on the show often times
picking on the weak to people around him haven't they
replaced you with a coin-operated machine yet this includes Bobby who's
literally a child and someone as pitiful as bill that said Kahn has revealed a
decent person underneath his outer shell which he hides due to his own
insecurities and of course his manic bipolar disorder now this might be a bit
controversial but next up is Dale Gribble Dale has a lot of really
negative character traits some of which Teeter on insanity let's start with some
of the lesser things first off he's incredibly mean and at times downright
cruel to others specifically bill this is one thing coming from Kahn but it's
worse from Dale given the fact that he is a close friend of bills
he's given the signal stick out your chest so I can get a clean shot at your
heart but it goes past that Dale has turned on those close to him in the past
on numerous occasions including Hank for instance lying about the saw
accident and saying it was intentional in order to get a restraining order
he's also destroyed Hanks property and gets him into trouble
despite Hank always cleaning up after him so you want to know where your mower
is yes it ran out of gas down past the gas station he offers no gratitude for
anything Dale's anger is also a bit concerning at
times although it never manifests in any sort of violent way likely because he's
so inept but all that aside the truth is Dale is a pretty awful friend next is
Peggy Hill and I can already hear the commenters upset that she's not ranked
as the most evil Peggy you are an inspiration to inbred morons
everywhere Peggy is probably one of the most hated characters on the show but in
all of Mike judges brilliant show running it's not because of poor writing
in fact it seems intentional listen to me brought my arse I would actually
argue that Peggy is actually a really well-written sort of bad person it goes
without saying that Peggy is an absolute narcissist
if you ever marry a Spanish teacher and you probably will
never doubt her enormous gifts there are few to no occurrences on the show in
which she puts someone else before herself she takes every opportunity she
can to steer any conversation towards herself and gloat about her lackluster
achievements in boggle and substitute teaching you know as when intellectual
to another maybe because Hank is such a good man that puts others before himself
that Peggy's personality seems so awful in juxtaposition she just isn't a very
good person I would never never never take you as my lover especially when you
factor in the plot of her taking advantage of Bill someone who she's
always loathed and looked down on until she figured out that there was something
that he could do for her if insulting him is the only way to get bill back to
work selling it is that nutjobs lucky dying whenever she's on the screen we
get the sudden urge to quote the late great cotton hill and say shut up Hanks
wife speaking of which cotton hill this one pains me because cotton is one of my
favorite characters well it's not surprising he isn't meant to be a good
character what you think your mama's new Tatas oh he's a fun loud hell-raising
womanizing fighting old man who does not care one bit what anyone else thinks of
him taking advantage of the situation will give the colonel points for being a
war hero and even all the aforementioned stuff could be forgivable but cotton was
a terrible terrible father hated a baby right up until the moment that he died
this was supposed to happen to you yeah worthless you're not even getting out to
be married to my worthless nothing of a loser sad occasionally we see a glimmer
of good from the old man specifically with how he cares about Bobby and good
Hank
practically slapped her rump that in there but aside from that cotton is the
fun rotten old bastard who we all love okay we're down to the top to Nancy
Gribble now a lot of this centers around her long term affair and you might be
going wait a min cotton hill undoubtedly was a cheater -
how many women have you slept with five six seven I guess so but something you
had to give cotton credit for was the fact that he was the most upfront and
brutally honest person imaginable we doubt that any affair he had stayed
under wraps for long and since we know a lot of people will insist that cotton is
worse we docked him a couple points because frankly we imagine his time in
the military desensitized him to make him who he was and he's got to get some
credit at the end of the day for being a war hero the problem with Nancy is that
she is a wildly selfish person whose affair has lasted for over ten years she
claims to love her husband but that just doesn't seem to be the case Saturday is
one of my John Redcorn nights additionally her personality is revealed
to be very smug and vain are they watching me on TV it must be exciting
for them to see somebody they never get so famous and going back to John Redcorn
it's revealed that he has feelings for her but she just leads him on but more
importantly is the fact that he desperately wants a relationship with
his son but can't presumably because she has sworn him to secrecy to protect her
own marriage get your hands off me you cannibal freak all while making her own
husband an embarrassment to the neighborhood not a good person maybe
monogamy works for you and Hank but it does not work for me and Dale and John
Redcorn but who is the worst in Arlen I'll tell you it's buck Strickland
without a doubt there isn't a moral bone in Bucks whole body he is an absolute
total degenerate sticking to the topic of infidelity buck has been just as
guilty of that as Nancy but that's only scratching the surface
he has screwed over his own employees on a regular basis specifically Hank who he
makes clean up all of his messes or shifts the blame to Hank despite the
fact that Hank idolizes him like a father
totally betraying his trust heck at one point buck gambled Hank away in a poker
game to his sworn enemy rat I'm betting Hank but he began teaching
Bobby a child all sorts of degenerate behavior in one episode if I'm losing my
shirt there I'm gonna fake a heart attack
now that joke queue to come in waving the pail screaming he's polluted
horribly by dumping propane tanks into a local river and is sent oblivious Hank
on dangerous errands like disposing of presumably illegal items and most
importantly when bucks former mistress debbie was killed in order to take the
heat off of his ex-wife buck planted a rifle cartridge in Hanks truck and tried
to get a phony confession out of Hank that's why I planted the shotgun shell
and Hanks truck to Patek essentially trying to frame him for murder the
person that looks up to him like a father what an absolute sociopath and
there you have it buck Strickland you're a monster Bobby
you're too pure for this world but what do you think do you agree with our
rankings who do you think is the most and least moral king of the hill
