sh-sh-sha!

Gun's don't kill people. The Government does.

[–]minutemilitia 8 points9 points ago

You're not touching my mower ever again, you left it out in the street where any weirdo could just brush up against it!

[–]jWalkerFTW 3 points4 points ago

You don't know me: IM UNKNOWABLE!

[–]Killer_Brig 3 points4 points ago

I too have seen King of the Hill.

[–]Hank_R_Hill 9 points10 points ago

Dammit Dale! For the last time, "pocket sand" is not on the list of things that I said you can do in public!

[–]cajunbander 2 points3 points ago

Ahh..I'm not Dale, my name is Rusty Shackleford!

[–]Hank_R_Hill 2 points3 points ago

He died in the 3rd grade. Give it up.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Actually, he didn't. There was an episode where Rusty wanted Dale to stop using his identity.

[–]Sir_George 52 points53 points ago

I seriously miss this show.

[–]bitties 15 points16 points ago

I miss it like crazy too. But the funny thing is, I can't pinpoint why I miss it. When I try to describe it to people it sounds boring as fuck. It's a show about these rednecks in Texas who like fixing stuff and drinking beer.

But I love it, I love all the characters, Peggy with all her obvious faults, Hank with his stubbornness, Bobby with, well that boy ain't right, everyone. I thought that when they introduced Lucky that I would hate him, but I actually thought he was a nice addition late in the show (it didn't feel like it was jumping the shark).

It was a really well balanced show that kept my entertained for years, and I can gladly say buying the DVDs has been a great investment (Although they haven't released a box set in like 5 years).

[–]gravehunterzero 13 points14 points ago

Well the show had amazing character development and conntinuty for a cartoon. Most episodes you can watch as a stand alone but if you watch them in order you see how they change. Dale becomes less about conspiracies and more about being a better father after Joseph hits puburty. Bill moans less and less about Lanore and more about making himself better and finding his place in the world. Hank tries to accept Bobby for him while trying to make him a good man, remember the final episode with Hank and Bobby grilling?

Watch the first few seasons and compare them to the last few. Yes there is some growing pains with every show but KoTH becomes a completly different show, its still a comedy with the same basic characters but they were written as real people where there are faults. No one is perfect and everyone has a dream and you see them try and fail.

As you said, its hard to explain why it is such a good show with all the subtle humor and such but this is the best way I found to try and explain it.

[–]dehinderlaag 2 points3 points ago

it's a great show because it's not too much of a stretch to see most of the characters as actual people you may encounter in the real world.

[–]jWalkerFTW 1 point2 points ago

I wrote a letter to Mike Judge a while back. I explained how much the show meant to me and my dad. At the bottom, my friends signed their names beside the characters their most like.

I still haven't mailed it. I can't find his personal mailbox. Only fake signature addresses

[–]gravehunterzero 0 points1 point ago

Scan it and email it to him.

[–]jWalkerFTW 0 points1 point ago

Cant find his email either. If you seen any of his interviews, you would know that he's a very shy person

[–]123fakerusty[S] 0 points1 point ago

I honestly wish show's didn't change their animation style as they went on. Like watching the old Simpsons episode just makes me want to pay attention more. Same thing with old KOTH episodes. You have to pay attention or else the comedic gold just goes over your head.

[–]makattak88 4 points5 points ago

I love how stubborn Hank is. One episode ( in the morning) he jumps out of bed before the alarm finishes it's first beep. Shit like that I found brilliant about the show.

[–]Catmand0 7 points8 points ago

one of the best things mike judge ever did.

[–]ShadowAssassin 1 point2 points ago

Want to know why they cancelled it? To make room for The Cleveland Show...

[–]dan92 1 point2 points ago

I just started going through it on Netflix recently, and it's fantastic. Today, for instance, I was genuinely inspired. "Nothing is forever; I used to have a penis."

[–]monkeiboi 0 points1 point ago

I honestly did not like this show until about two years ago. I started watching reruns and shit on cartoon network. It just suddenly clicked with me and I found it fucking hilarious.

I think the biggest draw for me was this it was REAL. There were no cartoony, over the top shit that could not happen in real life like family guy or the simpsons. It was like a real life sitcom....but in cartoon.

[–]OriginalChurro 17 points18 points ago

so sayeth the truth of Rusty Shackleford.

[–]123fakerusty[S] 6 points7 points ago

The inspiration for my username ;)

This was also my inspiration for my facebook account so nosy potential employers couldn't find me. I'm practically untraceable.

[–]123fakerusty[S] -1 points0 points ago

Yeah sorry couldn't think I anything else to put up or cakeday. Dale Gribble or should I say Rusty Shackleford (the motivation for my username) is my all time favorite character.

[–]Vahnya 0 points1 point ago

I'm not calling you out on anything, I just thought the timing was neat.

[–]johkonut 0 points1 point ago

Clearly, the lesson is that you can do that.

[–]R_Shackleford 1 point2 points ago

I approve.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Is it bad I watched that gif at least 300 times?

[–]123fakerusty[S] -1 points0 points ago

nope

[–]jonathanrdt 1 point2 points ago

I love the biweekly pocketsand post.

[–]BOOMBOXNOTATOY 2 points3 points ago

Same here. But then it just turns into me losing in a fist fight :/ I highly suggest finding an alternate method.

[–]madmonkeymud 2 points3 points ago

Well then you have been using the pocket sand technique wrong. The correct technique involves running away while your opponent is confused and blind.

[–]Fambida 0 points1 point ago

The one time I had some grit available to throw in the other guys eyes, I found it quite helped in the ensuing fistfight.

[–]karl-marks 3 points4 points ago

Can someone make a reddit version? Where little downvotes replace the grains of sand?

[–]Mountainfog 10 points11 points ago

NEVER FEAR! MASTER PHOTOSHOPPER* IS HERE

[–]Druyx 1 point2 points ago

Forgive my ignorance but from what show is this?

[–]gyro12 3 points4 points ago

I would have been mad, but you made up for it by not ending your sentence with a preposition.

[–]leaffall 1 point2 points ago

King of the Hill

[–]TheHeadandtheHeart 0 points1 point ago

My friend made a joke about this today. Because he was hilarious you get an upvote(:

[–]123fakerusty[S] -1 points0 points ago

thank you sir

[–]zerophewl 0 points1 point ago

I do the same but with salt.

[–]nvrmndtheruins 0 points1 point ago

Well that's better then what I do; Cry and run away.

[–]WithTwoWise 0 points1 point ago

I love how the sand just forcefully shoots from the palm of his hand.

[–]koolkid005 0 points1 point ago

I don't know if they grade sand. But I hope it's... Course.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Saved to my reaction gifs folder. It'll come in handy one day.

[–]shineyzombie 0 points1 point ago

Dale's sand attack is so legendary it can only be countered by bobby's snipe healing technique. "Whoo-lu-lu. Whoo-lu-lu."

[–]_lady_ra_ra 0 points1 point ago

You really throw sand in peoples eyes win losing a verbal disagreement?

[–]watevs44 0 points1 point ago

So that's how one uses Sand-Attack.

[–]LilGriff 0 points1 point ago

Last week I learned that King of the Hill was canceled to make room for The Cleveland Show...a worse crime has never been committed (in terms of TV shows)

[–]barrybulsara 0 points1 point ago

It's not QUITE as funny as the concept of Australia being upside down, but nice try.

[–]GirLoverForever 0 points1 point ago

is it sad that i say this on assassins creed when i throw sand at people?

[–]Noturordinaryguy 0 points1 point ago

squirrel tactics, shi-shi-sha!

[–]StealthNade 0 points1 point ago

has /r/KingOfTheHill seen this

[–]short_lurker 0 points1 point ago

I never really got into King of the Hill, but after it ended I started to miss watching it.

[–]krogers1337 0 points1 point ago

I knew a kid once named Tony Hoe who used this method and kicked some serious ass. Cheers mr Hoe. I know somewhere in Juvie you still provide the utmost of entertainment to the masses

[–]Parkmayn 0 points1 point ago

Dale used sand attack!

[–]shineyzombie 0 points1 point ago

as i recall it was super effective too

[–]MustangGuy -1 points0 points ago

Dale used Pocket-Sand.

Sand is hurled in Asshole's face, reducing it's accuracy!

Or pepper, if you're legit. (Or if you're Leesha from The Warded Man.)

[–]zuluthrone -1 points0 points ago

What really gets me is that he says "pocket sand" as though he's casting a fucking spell or something.

[–]theataraxian -2 points-1 points ago

Thanks for the coffee now all over my screen.

[–]dafuqdidIwrite -3 points-2 points ago

I would like to argue with you on that, but I just can't sand a sour loser.

[–]YourMommasBFF 7 points8 points ago

I'm sure they put warning labels on animated sand, so no worries!

[–]kenored -1 points0 points ago

your karma was dead the moment you hit enter

[–]sirgentalman -1 points0 points ago

pocket sand he must be and assassin and the other one must be a templar this is genius

[–]ashtonishing18 -2 points-1 points ago

Superb!
