In celebration for the revival, what are the worst episodes of the series?
The episode he takes his mom to get figurines was weird
Not bad but it just felt very different
if the qakefield one is the old lady saying she lives in their house then that one. was just fucking uncomfortable not funny at all
That weird Luanne episode with the pig farm owner guy and the hot air balloon
I dunno, I really like that one. The spring break aspect kinda fumbles but the rest of it with the old ladies and Hank realizing how hard his mom had it were extremely well executed
To tack onto this, Lost in Myspace is what I'd really call a decent and fun episode that just feels too out of place with the series, especially the characterizations.
Yeah that was the episode. It was just weird. It was one of the times where Hank was 100% in the right and he didn't need to learn a lesson at all, but every other character still treated him like an asshole
I wouldn't want some stranger dying in my house, over Christmas no less
The Port Aransas episode was pretty shit.
Apparently the 3 lowest rated episodes of KOTH are all Lucky-centric episodes. No idea why. Am I the only one who liked Lucky? I know he took the spotlight of every episode (Because of Tom Petty), but is that really a reason to hate him?
Probably an unpopular opinion but I really didn’t like the episode where Bobby joins the Christian youth group and Hank doesn’t like it because he feels the cool image “cheapens” being a Christian somehow. It’s just another one of those episodes where Bobby finds something he likes and a group accepts him but Hank makes him quit because he personally doesn’t like it.
I think the episode would have been fine if it ended after Hank’s understanding with the pastor’s father, but they had to tack on the part at the very end where Hank says Bobby’s interest was just a fad and he would have gotten bored with it eventually even though there was nothing to suggest that. They just had to make Hank objectively right like usual.
In all honestly, the episodes centered on secondary characters suck for the most part. With the exception of Dale episodes which were the best. I'd say the Mr. Strickland episodes sucked as much as the Lucky episodes.
I would say Lucky became a main character by the time Luanne falls for him. Maybe that's why people hated him? Because a celebrity had enough star power to just force himself into the main cast
The salmon in the fish tacos one
the stumping episode was good
I always hated ladybird centric episodes for some reason, and im a dog guy. Dunno why but ladybird just made me sad.
Any with Peggy in the full body cast.
Reboot Bill should be much fatter imo
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Clown
The country one where someone steels Peggy's song is fucking cringe
You're nuts I liked when the show had some continuity
Anything in the later seasons is my choice
for me it's the one where Bill brutally beats and rapes Bobby and Hank
hating a Buck episode
Harlin one, and the training camp one in Wichita falls
The racist dog one
Lucky impregnating the niece
In KOTH, Hank is either Right or Wrong. There's no room for compromise, and it's pretty easy to tell which episode will swing which way. Hank either teaches a lesson, or learns a lesson.
To add onto this, any Bobby-centric episodes are usually pretty cringe because they wrote Bobby so well as a dumb young teen. Of course he will be awkward
I literally just now, from your post, learned Chuck Mangione was a real person
I'd say the Mr. Strickland episodes sucked as much as the Lucky episodes.
buck strickland's son episode was good
How long before this is canceled? It will probably be woke.
At least 2 seasons.
any peggy centric episodes, like her becoming a nun to teach spanish or the episode where she becomes a tutor for the priest on tv and thinks he fell in lover with her
The propaniacs. Portrait of a young clown. Kidney boy and hamster girl. The one with zz top. The one with American chopper, powderpuff one, school carnival one, Bobby goes to military school, lucky gets his ged, stumping,
So you hate Bobby and Lucky episodes?
it was a shock to me too anon

This one and the one where Bobby wanted to get into the sanitation business after he shadowed that CEO who started his own company and was super successful. But Hank didn’t want him to do it because he thought it wasn’t a respectable career and Bobby couldn’t pull it off because he wasn’t as handsome and charismatic as the CEO. Which is pretty bullshit because it’s shown multiple times that Bobby can be very charismatic and popular and win people over when he finds his groove.
Hank is usually displayed as close minded and conservative, but he’s generally well meaning and can recognize his biases and learn lessons. That episode just made him seem like a straight up asshole who had zero faith in his own son.
Yeah that episode pissed me off. Bobby found a niche and Hank just shat all over it because it wasn't as "respectable" as selling dinosaur gas
and conservative
Hank rolls over the instant there's any opposition to his belief. So, yeah, he's a conservative
Conservative was probably the wrong word. I guess I meant set in his ways?
Hank's Bully is actually pretty funny, and he has a clever solution to all of it. It's a great example of how to deal with spoiled children with enabling parents.
Bad episodes:
-Dallas Cowboy training camp video
-The motorcycle episode
-Hot dog eating episode, mainly because too many cameo's and stupid reason for Bill quitting
-Luanne bible study
-Racist Dawg
-Ben Stiller bad employee episode
-Yard, She Blow (gnome episode)
-Bobby intolerance festival
-Several Lucky episodes
-Several episodes from last couple of seasons
Honestly, I think the worst to me is the Gnome episode. There's lots of people acting out of character so that the plot can happen, and Hank admitting to it all, and Peggy not believing him, etc.
In my opinion, Season 4 is the best because they were still trying to have a loose continuity in the story. The episode where Cotton teaches Peggy to walk is so good, and so many quality episodes follow. It really goes down hill when they through continuity out the window in favor of easily-syndicated episodes. In those early seasons, everyone still has arcs and strong personalities. Hopefully, since this is not a network show anymore, that strong writing will return.
So Dunhowet is CIA?
Many of the cameo episodes suck hard.
But Kidney Boy and Hamster Girl is great, and the Military School episode is fantastic. Don't know how you cannot like that.
What are some later episodes you guys like?
The Witches of East Arlen is in my top 10 even though it's season 7, though I'm probably biased as an Anon Babblefag
A cake of tremendous power!
It wasn't bad. I think it seems weird because Hank is basically the only major character, and he has to carry every scene in the episode. In most other episodes, the other major characters have agency and carry a lot of the weight.
This one was based, but went well beyond the limits of what's supposed to be a grounded show. It would be almost mundane in a show like American Dad.
I like Lucky. I also like the theme of the "redneck" Hank meeting giga-trash Lucky and treating him well and trying to help him make something of himself. It contrasts sharply with how Khan and the show's "hip" and modern characters always looking down on Hank and excluding him.
I would argue season 7 is right before it goes into "later seasons".
Personally, I really like:
-Hank Saves everyone on the boat (S10)
-Grand Theft Arlen (S11)
-Peggy is mistaken for a cross dresser (S11)
-Minh Shooting Guns (S12)
-John Redcorn's daughter / Joseph's sister (S12)
-Finale (S13)
It will never be the same without Brittany Murphy
Luanne was more-or-less written out of the show after she joined that cult. She didn't come back to the spotlight until Lucky became a main character.
The episode I hated the most was the one where Hank and his friends ruin a baseball with those professional baseball players that like to goof around. Then Hank harasses them nonstop for money until they fold
that episode at the slaughter house when the crazy dude gets processed to death by his own machine at the end. weird episode that stuck out to me, was it a halloween special?
Hank looks like Bob Chandler.
Jesus christ this pic
hank eat fresh delicious baskin roberts iced creams
Kek Hanks Bully really got to you huh? I think it is redeemed by the sheer absurdity of dusty old bones full of green dust
why does hank have that thousand yard stare?
Because it's soulless digital art
TILLY, YOUR BOY IS ALL TALK.
Resplendent!
That pissed me off, too.
I never got the Peggy hate. She really seems to get under people's skin. But I think she's a great character.
The one where his cousin is Dusty Hill.
When the time is right, a maiden will be delivered to me... probably from the East.
the ceo in that episode is probably the nicest guy in the show he almost feels out of place
-John Redcorn's daughter / Joseph's sister (S12)
Grown-up Joseph always weirded me out
-Ben Stiller bad employee episode
I forgot about this one, yeah it's one of the worst.
Hank gets addicted to video games
the "powder puff" episode where Bobby is forbidden from dressing in drag during a football game
