Comfy.
The dry humour really seals the deal for me.
One of the best adult animated comedies of all time. Also the most consistently good. Mike Judge is kino.
It did its own thing and did it reasonably well. The cast is well concieved, well written and well acted. It's not perfect but what is?
You can tell Zig Forums has shit taste because of the lack of replies. Keep watching OP, it’s great.
I like it occasionally
if I'm going to watch it it needs to be with a cold beer and on a leather reclining sofa.
Unironically I've been watching this show since I was like 9, back in 97
It’s one of my favorite cartoons of all time, probably in top 5 for me. It’s very funny, the characters are well-written, charming, and lovable, it has sweet and tender moments, it never feels preachy or ham-fisted. It’s just great. It’s also one my mom and I enjoyed together, so it’s special to me. And of course the YTP is god-tier.
What more is there to say? Major consensus is that it's a great show that can be said anywhere than your average Tibetan piss measuring board.
One of my favorite shows, including animated and live-action.
best western adult animated series and best anime

ez
Comfy and too based
Office Space is by M. Judge as well and was prophetic, if you work in a corporate environment
Love the show. I wish they made scale figures of hank hill
The show starts promising, but loses its way. Hank was a loving but flawed man in the beginning. Gradually it became a show about how somehow Hank was never wrong.
Is the decline as bad as Zombie Simpsons?
No. It was still watchable and funny.
After three or four seasons, it definitely didn't flow the same way or have punchlines as good. Felt way more like The Simpsons and Family Guy than all its own thing, no doubt thanks to Fox. I first watched a lot of the later episodes on adult swim, and was surprised by how much better the earlier episodes were when I later watched them.
A lot of people look at Peggy falling out of the plane or Cotton going to Japan to reunite with his estranged lover as the moment when KotH jumped the shark, but personally I think it was the Buck Strickland murder mystery episode that really went overboard.
I enjoyed all of those
Shark jumps can be enjoyed, but if it strays too far outside of the original storyline it is a shark jump.
I can see all of those as shark jumps. Especially the skydiving episode for quietly killing the series-long arc of Hank and Peggy trying to get pregnant. The murder mystery episode just wasn't good.
It’s realistic plot lines is what makes it relatable. Anybody could’ve had an experience similar to an episode. I think that’s what made it unique compared to other adult animated comedies. The Simpsons while also somewhat realistic was still relatively cartoony. Family Guy was another thing entirely. I honestly wish more adult shows copied KOTH. maybe then the genre wouldn’t get as much flack.
I've enjoyed it more as I've gotten older.
Greg Daniels did most of the day-to-day work on this show, Mike Judge basically just came up with the concept and voiced Hank
It rules. Best seasons are the early ones but it stays pretty solid throughout
I felt like they kept trying to recreate the suspense of the original two-parter that where Buckley blew up the Mega-lo-Mart and each part ended and began different seasons.
Only they set that fucking shit UP from very early on with the department store encroaching on the economy all through the first two seasons and it paid off.
I think the Peggy one kind of tried to do this, as there was the subplot of her and Hank trying to conceive a second child, but "falling out of a plane" was not something anyone would see coming and it doesn't jive as well.
I don't think there was ANY kind of set up to the murder mystery two parter (aside from Hank's boss always acting like a horny jack-ass) and that's a shame, because I would have paid good money to see a proper lead in to a multi-part whodunnit in this show.
I recently rewatched the entire series after the YTPs reaffirmed my love of the series and it rerally does hold up well as people have already said the show is comfy and one you can leave on in the background and still feel engaged. The strongest season were definitely seasons 1 through 3 where the show was the most grounded in reality the seasons that followed ate much more punchy and overall more funny but loses the grounded feel and becomes more sitcomy especially towards the start of the digital era. It remains remarkable consistent until the final two seasons which has the weakest episode of the show but it finishes before it ever becomes bad.
I loved it.
Fucking love it. Season 3 is probably my favorite.
