Cotton.

If I had to name a single favorite KOTH exchange, this is it.

Well, I suppose you're… SUCKER PUNCH!

The propane dealer's son defiantly shrieking "GO SOONERS! GO SOONERS!" while his father sings never fails to make me laugh.

One of the few things that Hank Hill and Don Draper have in common?

Doing "windshield wipers" might be sadder. Wee-oo-ee-oo-wee-oo… (Damn, I love Tom Poston.)

One of the few truly ominous moments in the series is Lane Smith's "You're a real boy scout, aren't you, Hank?" when the latter turns down the high-flow toilet bribe. The shadowing on the animation, and that dead silence…

"Well, I need a window seat, because this flower is wiltin'."
"I do believe I'll give room service a jangle and have them send up some étouffée."

The treatment of the monks is a good example of the care KOTH takes in humanizing its characters—a lot of other shows would've gone for cliche or tried to make them "exotic," but instead we get "Tough call. But it's mine, and I made it."

To Bobby: "Now, please give us some space. She does not like you."

@avclub-cb0e59b8f769a8698b9f7154dd8809b5:disqus That's one of my favorite KOTH scenes, and I think it's a perfect encapsulation of the warmth/empathy the show feels toward its characters and that its characters are often shown expressing toward each other. Most of them are fundamentally decent people—despite the fact

Later, Bobby, wearing boater hat: Oh, I'm just shuffling off to the living room. And awaaaay we go!
Hank: I specifically asked Bill *not* to give him that hat.

Nah, it's Mike Judge voicing Octavio—it's Octavio's look/persona that's entirely inspired by Danny Trejo!

Particularly when they had her perpetually fall for the entire length of the end credits.

This is right out of Shakespeare!

Dang it, my ten-footer's gone! Dale! …or, Bill! Probably Dale!

It was dead until I made Wematanye bring it back to life! …I'm a shaman.

"'Ya vant I should come over there?' Heh! That is SO Arizona!"

SQUIRREL TACTIC!

I enjoyed Father Bruce McCulloch's "Who?" much more than "HER?" The latter was a little too hit-you-over-the-head.
