When I was a kid, I never understood this show. The older you get, the funnier it gets. Probably the greatest sitcom ever made.

mike judge >seth mcfarlane

The thing about KoTH that is so great, is if you grew up in Texas, we all knew someone like these people. I swear to God, All-mighty, my neighbor across the street was Hank Hill, but looked and even dressed like Bill (yes, he wore that damn jeans and wifebeater shirt EVERYDAY too). He was also obsessed with lawn care, he would actually mow everyone's lawn on the street for free. At night, he and his buddies would stand outside drinking beer. Then king of the hill came out and blew my mind.

alll i hear is hank hill talking calmly.

mike seems so much more genuine and just the average joe than seth macfarlane. Which is why his shows focus more on just real life stuff.

Peggy: "JoOHHNnn REDCorn" John Redcorn: "PeEEGGy Hill"

As someone who was born and raised in rural Texas, I can tell you that nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever come close to being as accurate as King of the Hill.

For some reason KOTH relaxes me. I watch it sometimes to go to sleep

King of the hill is so underrated!

What makes Mike great is he doesnt treat these characters badly, in someone elses hands they would be making fun of and belittling the hills, instead he creates affection and heart

"Show to follow the Simpsons". Nowadays everyone wishes the Simpsons were gone and King of The Hill was still around.

I like how the abbreviation KOTH sounds like a heavy metal band.

I am still fascinated watching Mike Judge talk in real life.

You will be missed, Johnny. Your mark on this show will never be forgotten

Why don't they let me narrate the spanish version???

I always felt silly being a grown man fan of a cartoon. When I see how much thought and creativity that goes into it, I feel less guilty for the pleasure .... Thank you Mike Judge and your talented team .....

his voice is such a perfect blend of beavis and hank

WE NEED KING OF THE HILL NOW MORE THEN EVER

Sorry, but every time I hear Mike Judge talk, I just hear Butthead.

One of the best show in history

You know what Ford stands for? "F-ix I-t A-gain T-ony"

miss this show so bad :(

Mike Judge is a genius. Everything he touches turns to gold.

They need to put KOTH back on Netflix

FIAT (Fix It Again Tony).

this show first aired when I was 12 years old. By this point, I'd been raised on MTV during summer vacations, so Beavis and Butt-head had been around for a few years, and their old neighbor was my first introduction to Hank Hill. Once KOTH aired, I already felt like I'd been acquainted with Hank, but as a pre-teen I related more to Bobby in those days. Now, I'm 37, and my wife and I watch KOTH in the evenings and it's like watching the show all over again for the first time. My ability to relate to Hank, his friends, being a homeowner with a yard that needs mowing... ALL of it has come full circle, further solidifying my love for this show. The writers really crafted something special with this series, and most of today's entertainment fall short of the creative genius' of Mike Judge and Greg Daniels.. The clever quips, one liners, and outrageous-yet-completely-common everyday shenanigans the Arlen gang finds themselves in will forever be one of my all time favorite shows. I'm really glad I got to grow up in the times I did. "It's just got'dang quality entertainment, I tell you whhat. Dammit Bobbeh!"

Is it me or does mike judge look A LOT like dale

That boy ain't right.

It's too bad they don't make any great animes like this anymore.

The best deadpan comedy since Bill Murray.

90's stuff was great.

Mike Judge is a genius. 'King of the Hill' is unique, hilarious and unforgettable.

Mike Judge is super talented, this show is definitely underrated

i tell you hwat

I love how he casually says "this movie Office Space" as if it's just some throwaway line and not one of the most iconic comedies of the past 30 years. I know this interview is from years ago, but it's funny how much longevity he's had.

My favorite show of all times. This hit right in the childhood feels. God bless them all, I am forever a fan.

I've always loved Mike Judge's stuff. He brings such a great level of sincerity to animation.

Mike Judge is an angel sent from comedy heaven.

These were our neighbors, our local restaurants, how the towns were ran, how school was looked at. Seeing the towns i go to, the schools i went to and played against, the same stories I was told as a kid. This was central Texas down to the even the weather. Greatest show ever.

The thing I appreciate about koth is that it takes it's plots seriously like other shows they'll joke about it but the concepts are really like something that would happen in real life it can make you relate and give you something still funny

ooh god bobby's voice actress is a babe.

Hank: Yep Dale: Yep Bill: Yep Boomhauer: Mmhmm

I'm pretty confident in stating Mike Judge is my favorite cartoonist. Even his live action films are awesome. Beavis and Butthead was a fucking masterful piece of art, as was King Of The Hill. I love the way he thinks and works, and the way he presents his interpretation of reality and of society. This guy is the shit.

Best animated show Ever.

Daniels talking about Judge's style being based on observing real life is spot on when it comes to KOTH. The writing absolutely blows me away because of just how well Judge captures and portrays all these nuances you encounter in people/situations in southern small-town USA. Only someone who's lived it and observed it as much as Judge clearly has could've written King of the Hill. I hope we get that long-rumored reboot sometime in the future.

Underrated genius. Soo subtle and nuanced. He understands people so much .

The only animated series that makes me laugh and cry. I never realized Greg was responsible for so much of the content, both did a brilliant job.

Mike Judge looks like a young Mark Knopfler

Pamela Adlon won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for playing various characters in Bobby Goes Nuts. She's the only actress in the series to have won one.

mike judge please bring back king of the hill, pleaseeeeee!🔔

Best animated comedy...superb. Shame it's not still running. Everything about King of the Hill was classic. Thanks for the great memories.

lol sounds like a cross between hank and butthead

I love King of the Hill! One of my favorite shows. It's really non-offensive. The stereotypes are accurate.

Hank Hill for president. Hank is both liberal and conservative.

What I always found so brilliant about koth was that he was able to make it funny without it being filthy. I’m not a prude, I think Family Guy is funny but McFarlain goes for shock. I think it takes more talent to be funny without being overly crude. All the characters were quirky and great. God, I miss that show!

I love King of the Hill. Thank you Mike Judge you are a staple to cartoon humor

king of the hill is one of the best animated comedies ever made!

lmao I had NO idea that the movie Office Space was based off this 'toon. That's awesome.

Show was awesome as a kid. Exciting opening music funny characters different from how i grew up. As an adult rewatching it. Definitely love and appreciate it much more. It aged so well.

Probably the best adult cartoon ever created. It will never be forgotten

I love that you can hear Buckley's voice so clearly when Mike Judge talks normally LOL.

didnt appeal much as a teen, but now in my mid 20s, the comedy from the innocence of the characters got me hooked real good.

This is what the making of * almost every* t.v show used to be like Those people took their job seriously and did the work that needed to be done. Even back further they used to hire an actual "native of that world" paid him to tell of the culture...

Mike's regular voice is just eloquent Boomhaur. It's weird how funny I find his regular speaking when picturing Boomhour just talking to Fox execs as a normal dude.

He dated my aunt during the Beavis and Butthead days which at the time I was just 9yrs old!.. He was a really nice guy honestly and I wish they had stayed together!. He used to do all the voices for me and I would laugh non stop at it mainly because I didn't get it but still lol. So if him doing all those voices helped him in any way I'm so glad because it made me really want to be a voice over actor myself who had half the talent he's got!. So Mr. Judge thanks for sharing your world with me and teaching me a little bit about the voice over community!.. Bring back King of the Hill because you really have plenty of material to keep it funny and give those other animation shows a run for their money especially nowadays!. Thanks again Mike and I miss hearing all those voices first hand they really made my childhood memories hilarious and worth remembering!. 🙏🙏🙏

Bring back King of the Hill! It was the best TV animated show ever.

I LOVE YOU MIKE!!! You were a huge part of me and my sisters childhood both bevis and butthead and later king of the hill, your still a huge part in my life i watch you king of the hill every night , please bring it back.

Dang we need king of the hill back on tv the animated version would be great. I TELL YOU WHAT

Mike Judge is a damn genius!

Been watching KotH every night for months now lol. I smoke a bowl, watch some episodes, and im out like a light (I typically have terrible sleep issues)

Never going to be a cartoon this great again. Glad I can watch it with my son today.

Still my fave animated sitcom.

One of the finest shows on television, no question about it.

Anyone notice Judge sounds like a less cracked out Butthead? Like that's the closest character to his speaking voice haha

This is my fav show ever!

The world needs the underrated wisdom of Hank Hill now more than ever.

Could you imagine being married to that woman who does Bobby's voice for the show? I mean, just imagine you're her husband and an intimate moment in bed, at night with the lights off - and you hear 'Bobby Hill's' voice telling you to be gentle -NOOOoooooo!!!!!!!!

What I really like about this is the straightforward no frills talking of Mike Judge. Just a man speaking as a man.

I want this show back.

I watched this as a kid for a long time but didnt fully become engrossed with it cuz i didnt understand it. Im watching episodes now and realize koth is probably the most live action- type of cartoon and it's a breath of fresh air

A lot of people don't like King of the Hill but it's one of my favorite shows. In my opinion it's a very subtle and acquired humor that most people can't be bothered to take the time to enjoy

8:01 "Dale you giblet head. We live in Texas. It's already 110 here in the summer, and if it gets one degree hotter I'm gonna kick your ass!"

I don't think there is anything better than a documentary on King of the Hill

Love king of the hill best since the old cartoons

Man... Mike Judge reminds me more and more of Brendon Small every day... haha

My all time favorite show! I still watch it everyday.

if I close my eyes I swear it's butthead saying I got my degree in physics, uh huh huh huh

Bucket List #1: hang out with Mike Judge

RIP Mr. Hardwick.

King of the hill is my favorite show, I like watching it early in the morning. I have a friend, his dad is hank hill. So funny

the best show of all time

My man never moves his mouth when he speaks lol

I really enjoy the subtlety in King of the Hill‘s humor- Hank having lifelong aspirations to be a propane salesman, his son deviating so much from typical boy hood, The wife of a propane salesman branding herself as an intellectual elite. This is all already so funny. By contrast, the elements introduced in the rewrites have always stood out to me and it makes sense to find out they weren’t part of judges original idea for the show. He said these characters were introduced to balance out hanks “stick in the mud” attitude, I guess you might call it, but honestly I’ve always felt like his wife, son, and neighbors already already serve to develop him as a character so well already. I definitely tune out more when episodes center around Luanne or cotton or when dale goes off the deep end. Just seems so wacky in comparison

Best animated series ever!

Please bring back KOTH I will be greatful

Chick that does the voice for Bobby is actually pretty hot haha

Honestly, Mike Judge having a physics degree actually makes sense. Clearly the guy is smart!

That pencil test of hank pitching himself to the network president was fucking genius

Johnny Hardwick seemed like a genuine bro. RIP

The lesson here? Follow your heart. God bless ya Mike!
