So, the article this is pulling from is a 2003 academic paper on class, race, and gender representation in American sitcoms. It's not an LLM produced bit of of insanity, nor is it someone who has never watched the show saying something unknowingly unintelligible.

It's a joke. Some dry humour, possibly put in there to see if peer reviewers had any idea about the then current television sitcom landscape.

My favorite line from that show is from the episode with the Christian rock group when Hank says "you're not making Christianity any better, you're just making rock n roll worse"

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

That's pretty funny.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

King of the Hill is pretty funny.

[-] Horsey@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I legitimately think it’s arguably one of the most consistently funny and well aged TV shows ever made. It’s amazing how different the world is 26 years after this show started airing, yet the jokes consistently stand the test of time.

They're standing in front of a charcoal grill so I assume he sells charcoal and charcoal accessories. Taste the heat, not the meat .

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

I'm going to be rewatching the charcoal episode tonight I think.

I miss this show so much. Glad it's coming back.

My boy has soot under his nails!

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

It's not mine! I was holding it for a friend!

[-] gornar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Dang it, Bobby!

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago

I've never seen a single episode and I know he does something with propane and grilling.

[-] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

He sells propane and propane accessories. Yup.

[-] teuast@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

Mm-hmm.

[-] iamericandre@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

That boy ain’t right

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Propane and propane accessories intensifies!

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

BWAAAAAAH!

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 years ago

I never watched a single episode of this series yet I got acquainted with Hank Hills catchiest phrases through the Starcraft Terran Firebats.

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Same. Maybe I should watch it.

[-] confusedbytheBasics@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

He sells propane and propane accessories for Stricklan propane in Arlan Texas. Everybody knows that!

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Arlen. With an “e”. I’ve heard from multiple sources that it’s taken after “Garland TX” though, so it’s an easy mistake to make.

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The city King of the Hill's Arlen is based on is Richardson Texas, which is the next city over from Garland. It's close enough it's an easy mistake, and probably not a coincidence.

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

It's from Harlottown

[-] jeremyparker@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago

It's like not knowing what Bob Vance does.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Bob Vance? Of Vance Refrigeration?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

So what line of work are you in, Bob?

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

Yeah I don't think they've ever once mentioned what he does for work, I always assumed he was a plumber.

Hopefully the new seasons he will tell us what he does.

[-] elxeno@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world What's the occupation of the character Hank from the show King Of The Hill?

[-] ChatGPT@lemmings.world 21 points 2 years ago

Hank from the show "King Of The Hill" is a propane salesman. He works for Strickland Propane as an assistant manager.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 22 points 2 years ago

Good bot.

[-] the_picard_manoeuvre@startrek.website 15 points 2 years ago

Who the hell are you

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 19 points 2 years ago

What is this, another transporter accident?

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Captain, have you been to Nervala IV recently?

[-] Albbi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The guy you're trying to copy cat.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

That title is gore.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

That was the least hardest I've known what a title is saying

[-] Darkrai@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It might be an AI generated article making stuff up.

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This is an AI generated article

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I would hope so, to think otherwise brings me despair for our species

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

PROPANE AND PROPANE ACCESSORIES

[-] the_picard_manoeuvre@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago
