@@danielpruitt8550 what?

Daniel prob referring to the fact that Hank would consider charcoal over propane a blasphemy? lmao

@@Medlek okay

That's what's good about the show: though Hank is generally suspicious of non-conservative Christians, he's still capable of recognizing good people when he sees them. On the other hand, if Hank as a character is representative of the average rural American, the show humanizes American conservatives to Liberal Audiences, which is valuable in today's political climate. Not to try and make this clip a political discussion, just pointing out the value of dealing with the ongoing culture clashes in this manner.

@@MrAtlfan21 Nah bro it was a completely well thought and appropriate response. Thanks for sharing.

@@MrAtlfan21 Very eloquently put. I think it's very easy for people to treat those who oppose them as sub-human, often because all they're thinking about is the extremist sides of that opposition. It's important to remember that everyone has a reason for acting and thinking the way that they do, it may not be a good reason to you, or frankly a good reason at all, but it's a good reason to them. Anger doesn't change minds, empathy does.

@@MrAtlfan21 a lot of people struggle to grasp just how ahead of it’s time this show was when it comes to its handling of conservative and liberal (along with a variety of religions and non religions) audiences

Hes got the ten commandments on his back, that should intice respect from any decent being.

I agree! I loved that about the episode too.

for some its because religion gives a baseline for morals and unspoken rules most people should agree on in the first place. example in this clip is dont tell another how to raise/guide their son if its not in the parents wishes

@@agarion101 I think the catch you're gonna have here is that most people, even irreligious people, will agree with that. The caveat is what happens if a parents wishes turn out to be harmful to their child. Keep in mind, plenty of deeply religious people don't think that 'respect thigh mother and father' is a blank check for parental abuse either. But there are some who do, or rather they use it to excuse their own awfulness, and they give everyone else a bad name in doing it.

the show had very positive logos that instilled a value system towards social cohesion rather than the divisive content in modern media

Sometimes. I can't see eye to eye with some of them.

A testament, you say? Pun not intended, I assume 😂

Right, because to hank like most of Bobby's fads in the box, this way of following Jesus and religion is a fad, fads come and go, and for bobby it ends up in a box forgotten, that's why hank feels if Bobby kept up with this, he'll just toss religion aside as like another fad

@@gameover9390 No, He won’t.

Yes, it will.@@gcHK47

I both hope and dread it being brought back in today's world. Especially it's Disney who now owns the rights to it. They will either actually do the show justice and balance things out or make it "Woke" that completely destroys what made the show great in the first place.

Agreed. God willing and Mankind determined, this will become a norm.

Tolerance wasn’t really shown for what Bobby wanted to do though…

@@Prodigi50 Not at first, no. Both Hank and Peggy are guilty of this, albeit for different reasons. Hank doesn't understand Bobby but he does eventually support him, as a good parent should.

@@katie7748 I’m talking about this specific moment.

Hank may have been put off by peoples' appearance but quality of character always won him over. Even the naked houseboat girls.

@@TJDious i don't think I've seen that episode

True. What I liked about this episode was that his real concern came from Bobby getting really into God and worship and then growing out of it like it was a phase. It really came from a good place

Yes and also I think what the episode was trying to say you can't force people to feel the way about something, someone religious people like rock and some are more traditional.

Except that one time where he called the guy rooster head

I don't buy it, but brother, if you need a god to be a good person, well then Amen.

​@@Vohlfiedwhats this? Someone respecting another person's beliefs that are not their own? Wow what a rare sight to see, someone get a camera

@@Vohlfied ahem, " Thou shalt not judge "?

@@Justarandomtrollge Common misconception. The verse is "Judge not, lest ye be judged"(Matt. 7:1), which is immediately followed by "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." (Matt. 7:2) In other words, judging isn't a sin: _hypocrisy_ is a sin. More about that in verses 3-5.

@@Vohlfied Common misconception about Christianity. We don't need God to become good people. We need God because we aren't. It's like how you don't need a surgeon unless there's something wrong with you.

If ONLY everyone religious understood it's common sense principals like that dude, rather than telling others how to live.

“Real” Christian. I think you mean the kind of Christian that has common sense. There are different types of people and different types of Christians. One isn’t more “real” than the other. They’re just different.

Yeah that pastor was cringeworthy. Hank was right on this issue.

The pastor's dad was Gene Simmons, who is actually Jewish.

@@robertisham5279they…. They agreed with eachother. Did we watch the same clip?

You can see Bobby realize that Hank wasn't just trying to shit on the parade and be "uncool". When Hank is bonding with the other dad, you can see Bobby understand that Hank was just trying to be a dad and not be antagonistic just because he could.

Yeah... y'all are really seeing something that aint there. His face goes from angry to confused to angry again. That's it. Haha

That was deep. That's why dads and learning values are so important. You need to "Wake up" to not be caught up in it.

@@idontevenlikemoneyfr I rewinded multiple times to try and see it, but you can clearly see Bobby walking away angry 😂

Okay. Maybe I’m just me, but what noticing??

Same here

When shows were well written and tried to say something deeper

​@@Eisenwulf666King of the Hill was uncommon in its time. I think the only contemporary on the same level of depth was Futurama.

@@trequor while you're not wrong, i wouldn't say it was unique. Some episodes of the Simpsons were still good back then, some Family Guy episodes were endearing, i am sure there are other shows i am forgetting about. In recent years i think only Bojack Horseman, first season of Rick and Morty and some episodes of Adventure Times had me thouroughly entertained and even moved a little. I think Mike Judge and his creative team are not appreciated enough for how brilliant they were.

@@Eisenwulf666 The best of the Simpsons was already past and Family Guy, while quite good at that time, was still superficial in comparison. Other adult animation was good at the time, but not as deep as King of the Hill or Futurama. Rick and Morty came later and achieved similar depth in the first few seasons and of course Bojack also came later

I don't think he even hates that. Hank's concern is that Pastor K is turning Bobby's faith from a cornerstone of his character into a mere fad, something Bobby has gone through quite a few of in his short life.

@@Ichiyama22 and as the saying goes; fad is just one letter away from fade.

Ikr? I'm a religious person who loves rock n roll, but Christian rock is lame!

@@kittycatmeowmeow963 Creed had a couple of good ones, as someone who hasn't been a Christian in at least thirteen, probably more years.

@@kittycatmeowmeow963 It's kinda like Gabriel Iglesias said when he pointed out that he had really arrived in his career when they stopped introducing him as 'Latino Comic Gabriel Iglesias'. The additional label is there in the hope that it sells something that might not otherwise sell.

And at the same time taking away Bobby's right to find his own religious path. Bobby is a teenager now, if this is what brings him closer to the God than he shouldn't be forcibly removed from it, especially when the reason is Hank being close minded. I grew up in a religious home and due to being forced to practice in the way my parents wanted, I ended up moving away from religion all together. This is one of the few episodes where the lesson learned is wrong. I understand respecting your parents but parents need to learn to respect their children too.

@@supersizesenpai If you remember the ending of the episode Hank explains why he took Bobby away from this group. Hank pulls out a bunch of Bobby's old stuff and shows him all the stuff that he loved so much at the time, but ultimately turned out to be a passing phase. He didn't want Bobby's love of religion to end up as a phase that got abandoned later.

@@PvtMartin78 Yeah but I think it probably worst since in the old church he is still bored and not paying attention to the preaching.

Not that it deserves any.

Exactly. Things weren't really better "Back in the Good Ol' Days" but they could be better now. We all have to strive for that, opposed to embellishing the past or destroying the future

100% true, King of the Hill was ahead of its time on a lot of ways. And going back and re-watching scenes now as an adult I realize how smart the writing is and how good a character Hank is. He isn't perfect, but he tries to do right by his family and is open to improving and having his mind changed while not compromising on his core values. he represents the ideal "Every man"

I know it ain't much but thank you truly for posting this comment on the internet for others to come across. It certainly has helped me to think twice before assuming something about someone, as if I know what kind of person they are, as well as to be open to uncertainty. I hope you (and everyone else) have a great day/night.

Seems odd to have had the god word it in such a way as to be so confusable then, doesn't it? Almost like it was written by fallable people who couldn't predict the future, instead of a divine being who couldn't fail to.

@@Torthrodhel What? Did you forget that everything is admitted to be a second party interpretation at best and that at no point was anything in scripture ever said to be directly recorded by God or Jesus. The fact that Christianity has only fallible people to carry on the message is an understood teaching in the vast majority of churches. I'm not even a member of the faith any more and I remember bible study sessions just comparing the same stories from the perspective of the different apostles via the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Even then, it is understood that the writers of the 4 gospel texts are truly anonymous and are instead the teachings heralded by the followers of the apostles before being recorded around ~90-110 AD. Everything in the bible originated as mainly spoken tales that were then written down by scholars years/decades/centuries after the fact.

@@Torthrodhel I mean, Moses did destroy the original commandments when he saw his people worshipping an idol

Because it came from an era when American Media still knew how to be respectful. Before "biting" became the only acceptable form of satire and you weren't allowed to concede that your opposition might have ANY valid points.

@@Exotac Fair

Amen to that.

I'm sorry, but I genuinely fail to see how representation is making media worse. It just seems like people are getting offended that gay people are on your screen. Most of your favorite films and shows are also probably "woke." Star Trek takes place in a borderline socialist utopia. Star Wars was written by a Vietnam protestor who modeled the Rebel Alliance after the Viet Kong. Jaws is a criticism of capitalistic greed in the face of imminent disaster. The Matrix is a story about revolution and change directed by trans sisters. These stories aren't subtle. They take very distinct political and social stances. The only reason you hate diversity in films is because it violated your nostalgia. You people would absolutely despise Ripley or Sarah Connor if they were made today, you would call them "stupid characters who make the men look incompetent." In other words: the fuck over it. LGBTQ people aren't staying in the closet. If that offends you, watch something else.

have never seen this episode, so that's totally awesome to read

Ee

Unless the parent is being actually abusive. But I take what you mean.

I didn’t like hank acting like a asshole to Bobby in that episode because Bobby didn’t do anything wrong.

There are definitely times you should get between a parent and their kid. Child abuse happens quite a lot. The child's wellbeing comes first. But yea, in cases where the child's wellbeing isnt at risk, then yea, the parent gets to decide how their kid is raised.

​@@michaela.orlando4421 Same. I get that Hank didn't want Bobby to get this lifestyle but I was always confused on the ending. They make it about how he doesn't want Christianity to be a fad or phase in Bobby's life when that wasn't the case at all. Hank just didn't like these kinds of people and couldn't tolerate the idea of Bobby making his own decision to follow them

Unless, of course it's teachers telling them about trans stuff and LGBT. Then it's acceptable to go between a parent and their kids.

Speaking as a pagan, I’ll admit one or two are genuinely great. The problem is most Christian Rock bands seem to think they can replace talent with faith. They literally go “PRAISE HIIIIIM” like the tool in this episode.

As a turtle abomination I like getting my head caught in the plastic soda rings people leave in the beach.

@@stingerjohnny9951 Really, the ones I like are the songs I don't know are Christian Rock until I look them up later. The less than subtle ones are most often complete garbage though.

@@anthonyg598he’s a covetous Jew so no. Himself is a terrible role

I think he was referring to Joseph, Jesus's human father.

​@DEFC0NZER0 Considering he was probably a traditional and Orthodox Jew of the Era, he would probably be ok with the hair if it was part of one of the older vows like Samson had. Of course, this was before Jesus' sermon on not swearing on anything, but just simply promising to be honest.

Hank explains his opinion at the end of the show. Bobby has a tendency to get swept up in things then discard them later. Hank was concerned that "the lord" would end up a "phase". Bobby remembered all his other phases and agreed.

To be fair, aside from a general dislike of the Christian rock genre, Hank's issue is less with them and more with Bobby's susceptibility towards getting swept up in fads and then discarding them. Religion is a deeply personal and spiritual thing, and it needs to be treated with more gravity than Bobby was throughout the episode.

I didn't know it went on as long as it did! I only remember early episodes, like the Boggle championship. My brother and I called them "...PENseel"s for years afterwards.

It's like how "country" music is all stadium pop music with an acoustic(maybe) in the background.

"I wanna get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus!. I wanna feel his salvation all over my face!"🤣

It's because many Christian artists are too focused on the message that the sound of the music itself gets neglected. Same thing happens with modern "Christian" movies.

@@foxymetroid IMO it's best to stick with the classic hymns like The Old Rugged Cross These new Christian pop songs bore me. Skillet does a good job, though. TFK, I can't really see the message in their songs
