King of the Hill has also resurfaced on Hulu recently after not being available to stream anywhere. Mike Judge has a real talent for nailing essence of a culture.
- wil421 8y agoGlad you made this comment as well. Mike Judge is one of the best at capturing culture and Americana specifically. The voice for Hank was based on some redneck guy who kept calling MTV and complaining about Bevis and Butthead.
- kakarot 8y agoDo you have a citation for that? Hank Hill is ripped straight from Tom Anderson, a character from Beavis and Butthead. AFAIK Tom Anderson appeared on the show very early and the timeline you're suggesting doesn't make sense.
- hnaccy 8y agoHe meant Boomhauer.
- davio 8y agoIt's actually Boomhauer: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/mike-judge-tells-jimmy-kimmel-where-boomhauers-voice-came-from/84022271/ http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/mike-judge-tells-jimmy-kim...
- wil421 8y agoAh yes it was Boomhauer. Couldn’t find the video on YouTube. Thanks.
- komali2 8y agoWoah, I had no idea Mike Judge was involved with King of the Hill. Growing up in Texas, I never appreciated how on-point the show was, until I left the state and realized that the subtle culture cues of Texas didn't exist elsewhere, which means that King of the Hill nailed it. I mean, every detail is perfect.
- tootie 8y agoI've never even been to Texas, but I consider King of the Hill to be on the best written sitcoms ever. My wife and I still make jokes about Aisle 8A all the time. No other TV show I've seen has ever crossed that threshold of comedy so beautifully.
