TalKing of the Hill - The Son That Got Away
🕑 Added 2021-05-14 04:01:00 +0000 UTCThis week, nearly one third of the way through the second season, King of the Hill finally remembers the Souphanousinphones exist! That's right: Kahn, Kahn Jr., and Minh make their grand return to the series, as an innocent journey into some caves leads the adults to think the kids are exploring... each others' bodies. It's a classic episode that features not only the secret fate of Weird Al Yankovic, but also the grand debut of the one and only Monsignor Martinez. So vaya con dios and get ready for another great podcast!

You talked about Bobby inviting Joseph along and it immediately reminded me of the beginning of Shaun of the Dead.

Did anybody else notice that Bobby's "A bird pecked my head" line is so similar to the "A bee stung my head" line that he says in the original KOTH pencil test pitch? It's a funny line - I wonder if someone reused it on purpose?

Growing up in a Mexican household and watching novelas with my mom I can confirm they do go crazy like Monsignor Martinez but not as cool and it’s mostly melodramatic , rich people yelling at each other while they zoom in to their faces and music starts playing than immediately cuts to commercial , also I know the sketch show Bob and Henry are talking about! It was most likely “La Hora Pico/ Rush Hour” which was more of of living color type show but instead of a group of choreographed dancers it was 3 busty ladies doing whatever .

Glad to hear some English Patient love. It gets a lot of undue grief thanks to that seinfeld episode. I’ve seen it multiple times, once every three-four years and aside from some of the love-making scenes being a little drawn out it really holds up. Great atmosphere, story, characters, music, cinematography in a world war 2 setting that’a been done to death but manages to be really unique. And Willem Defoe is bad-ass as Caravaggio, the thief.

One thing in this episode I didn't catch in my initial viewings until the show was on Adult Swim is Gribble's little comment to Kahn : "No Kahn, heap bad news". This is like stereotypical Native American language someone like Dale probably would have heard watching Westerns growing up. I don't know if Dale thinks Kahn is Native American or what's going on there. Probably just Dale not being the sharpest knife in the drawer as usual.

We didn't mention this in the episode? - Bob

Think this is still the only time I've heard Weird Al's last name pronounced Yank-o-VITCH. Funnily enough, at his concerts he would play clips of various tv references in between costume changes and the ones from this ep always got a big laugh from the TX crowd when I saw him in Dallas a couple of times.
