I love Mike Judge but KOTH never made me laugh the way Frasier consistently did.

(21) King of the Hill


vs.

(44) Frasier

Frasier wasn't anything great, but KOTH is just not that funny. When the voices of the characters are the "funniest" things about the show...............

Also, it's more stereotyping against Texans. Thanks Mike Judge!

Mike Judge is a Texan himself, so it works.

Frasier never did it for me. KOTH is funnier.

Don't care enough about either show, so I clicked randomly. Did that quite a bit so far.

Kelsey Grammer is only funny as SideshowBob.

No one is going to mention that King of the Hill is also a Beavis and Butthead spinoff? Hank was the guy whose trailer they were frequently whacking off in.

I thought that was Mr. Anderson

Same character, same voice. Hank may have a different name, but he's still that guy.

Transplanted to Texas. It's not the same. It's bigotry.



I'm only half kidding.

Hank and Tom Anderson were not the same guy. Tom Anderson was a single loser who lived in a trailer. Hank is a proud family man with a job. They have the same voice and speaking mannerisms, and similar look, sure, but I have to disagree with that.

Maybe, just maybe Hank is a smarter, older, Tom Anderson.

KOTH was never LOL funny, but it was a smart show, a good show. Frasier never did anything for me.

Mr. Anderson was older then Hank and was married. But it still wasn't the same character as Hank Hill.

The guy in B&B definitely had a wife, he used to tell her that the kids were whacking off in his trailer again (the trailer was his camper, not his home). And when a cartoon character looks almost exactly the same (just better animated in KotH) and has the exact same voice and mannerisms, designed by the same man, I'm going to call it close enough.

I suppose all black people are the same to you too, huh?

Racist.

I knew Mike Judge talk would lead us to this notion not once, but twice.

I'm gonna call it the result of a mediocre writer and artist basically using the same exact character design twice. They are clearly different characters but I sure as hell thought they were the same one on first look. No different than a mediocre TV writer writing 2 shows that have VERY similar characters but which are clearly separated by the actors.

I have never been amused by a second of King of the Hill and I'm continually shocked that the show is still on the air and someone is enjoying it. Although I think According to Jim may have surpassed that as the show I'm MOST confused as to how its lasted this long. And maybe if I watch more episodes of Two and a Half Men I'll add that.

And I don't even like Frasier. But screw King of the Hill.
