Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Opening the pilot episode is an entertaining overhead 'tracking shot' that sees the camera trained on which item in town, reading 'Arlen'?

Answer: Water tower

Immediately we are told that the small town in which the goings-on of this show will occur is called Arlen. Later, we learn that it is located in Texas. The 'tracking shot' flows over Arlen and finally arrives above the friendly confines of the Hill home.

Answer: Bill

Bill opens with a 'yup', followed closely along by Hank and Dale. Boomhauer ends it with his traditional 'mmm-hmm'. They are standing next to Hank Hill's beloved red Ford pick-up truck when they utter these now immortal words.

3. Which television show do Dale, Hank, Bill and Boomhauer apparently enjoy, as they converse about it during the opening scene?

Answer: Seinfeld

Dale asks, 'Y'all catch the Seinfeld show last night?' Bill responds, 'Yep!' 'Ah hell, I missed it,' Hank answers. Boomhauer then goes into a monologue about George, Kramer and 'a show about nothing'. The requisite 'dang oles' and 'tell you whats' are added for good flavor.

Answer: That boy ain't right.

'That boy ain't right' has become a memorable catch phrase for Hank Hill.

Bobby is listening to the 'Funny Phone Jerks', apparently some numbskulls that record prank calls. The one Hank Hill listens to (which prompts his 'That boy ain't right') features, as he puts it, 'toilet sounds'.

Answer: Baseball

They have this conversation about giving 110% in the car. Bobby questions his father, asking, 'What if the Wildcats (opposing team) give 110%, too?' Peggy suggests that Bobby give 112%. Bobby suggest 113%.

Answer: He has a narrow urethra

Hank's narrow urethra becomes a talking point for the rest of the series, even being a featured topic in an episode or two. Peggy cites Hank's narrow urethra as being the reason why they have only one child.

7. The man from State Social Services is called Anthony, but what nickname does Hank Hill create for this poor, weasel-faced fellow?

Answer: Twig boy

Twig boy, er Anthony, is full of silly platitudes and other almost incomprehensible jargon, for example his motto, 'Loud is not allowed'. He says this when Hank Hill starts getting into a huff about the accusations that he abuses Bobby. Later, Bobby uses some of Anthony's mumbo jumbo on his father, claiming that Hank is not using 'respectful adult-child growth dialogue'.

Answer: Migraine headache

Most fans of 'King of the Hill' know that there is much more to these 'migraine headache treatments' than Nancy lets on here. In fact, the audience can clearly see that something is awry when Dale and Nancy's son Joseph appears. He looks a lot more like John Redcorn than Dale Gribble!

Answer: Real Stories of the Highway Patrol

Luanne is living with her aunt and uncle because her parents lead such a troubled life. We discover that Luanne is staying in Hank Hill's den and that she is studying at the Beauty Academy.

10. During the pilot episode, we catch a brief glimpse of Cotton Hill, Hank's father. Cotton reveals that which part of his body was 'blowed off' during World War II?

Answer: Shins

The exact quote from Cotton: 'I got my shins blowed off by a Japan man's machine gun!' In future episodes, Cotton loves to remind everyone over and over again about his heroic military service.

Thank you for trying this quiz, I hope that you have enjoyed it.
