This is the exact opposite of what Hank wants. Bobby is his miracle child. He only gets one chance, so he wants Bobby to be “normal” like he was as a boy. Hank wants Bobby to hunt, fish, build, and most importantly, worship propane. These lines and accompanying episodes of King of the Hill highlight some of Bobby’s outlandish performances that give Hank a metaphorical ulcer.
10 “I’ll Never Use Toilet Paper In Anger Again”
“Hilloween” is a great episode that shows Hank has a fun side to him. He takes Halloween as a holiday very seriously and is willing to get silly. Bobby is in it for the candy. That is until a local churchgoer convinces Bobby and Luanne that Halloween is evil.
When Hank and Bobby tepee her house, Bobby is horrified to see he accidentally destroyed a birdhouse. That’s when he says this hilarious but sad line. At least Bobby is responsible.
9 “Wematanye!”
Bobby is not the only character to scream “Wematanye” in this episode. “The Order of the Straight Arrow” is about Bobby and his friends going off on meeting for a Scout-like organization. Hank and the boys are supervising.
They tell the kids that Wematanye is an ancient Native American spirit that should be honored. Bobby takes things a bit too seriously and invokes the spirit to revive a sacred bird. Does it work? Watch the episode and find out!
8 “I’m Gonna Wear This When I Get Older”
King of the Hill has some wacky premises for episodes but “The Unbearable Blindness of Laying” is near the top. Hank goes blind after he sees his mother and new partner, Gary, having a romantic encounter in the kitchen.
When they are opening presents, Hank blindly hands Bobby a gift for Luanne by mistake. It’s a nightgown. That’s when Bobby exclaims he’s going to wear it later. He must innocently think that all adults wear nightgowns, including guys.
7 “Okay”
“Okay” is one of Bobby’s most often used catchphrases in King of the Hill. “Dog Dale Afternoon” might have the best utterance of it. The episode itself sees Dale fall into a conspiracy that Hank constructed.

This ends in a tower wherein Dale is mistakenly taken as a sniper even though he is only exterminating bugs. In the end, Dale tells the police that Bobby should take the shot because he knows he is good with guns. That’s when Bobby says “Okay” as if it’s the most normal request ever. He even grabs the rifle from the police before they wrestle it away.
6 “Is There Anything Else I can Get You Gentleman”
“Jon Vitti Presents Return to La Grunta” is another wild episode of King of the Hill which involves a dolphin assaulting Hank. Before that happens, Hank gets Luanne a job at a local hotel. She’s excited about the job and tells Bobby and Peggy all about her first day.
After hearing her out, Bobby tells both of them that he wants to be a drink girl when he grows up. After he says this line, Peggy tells Bobby to never say that around his father. Hank would have had a heart attack if he did hear Bobby, that’s for sure.
5 “Well, I Need A Window Seat Because This Flower Is Wilting”
“A Beer Can Named Desired” finds the Hill family taking a tour of Louisiana after Hank wins a trip to the Super Bowl. They stop at Bill’s family estate on the way. Gilbert, Bill’s cousin, takes a shining to Bobby and gifts him some clothes.
Throughout the episode Bobby says lines like the above to mirror Gilbert’s flowery language. Bobby thinks it’s a Louisiana thing, but there is more to Gilbert than meets the eye. Hank knows, though, which is why he eventually throws away all of Bobby’s new clothes.
4 “This Calls For A Celebration, I’m Staying Up Till Midnight”
Bobby is not the only character that is shown to be innocently ignorant throughout King of the Hill. Hank has his moments of surprise like in the episode “Ho Yeah.” Hank accidentally becomes a pimp for Tammi, who is staying at the Hill residence while she tries to get her GED at a night school.
After Peggy invites Tammi to stay with them, Bobby exclaims his line about staying up late. That’s one of the many fun rewards kids get when they are young and this exclamation from Bobby is a great example.
3 “That’s My Purse”
“Bobby Goes Nuts” is a play on words because Bobby does not become odd in the head. After he suffers several incidents involving bullying from Chane Wassanasong, Bobby takes a self-defense course.

All the normal martial arts classes are filled, so Bobby is forced to take one for women. That’s when he learns about kicking men in the family jewels. Before he strikes, Bobby always says, “I don’t know you” before screaming about his purse and landing one in the groin.
2 “Let’s Not Spoil The Moment With A Lot Of Talk”
“Returning Japanese Part 2” sees the Hill family take a trip to Japan with Cotton. He wants to make amends for his crimes in World War 2 and is even being honored by the emperor. Along the way, Cotton takes Hank to meet his ex-lover and her/his son.
Bobby has an adventure of his own when he meets a teenage girl at the arcade. They have a language barrier but they figure it out through the power of dance. Bobby says this line in the last scene of this classic episode of King of the Hill.
1 “That’s Where Mom Is Going”
“Texas City Twister” involves Hank trying to get Luanne out of his house. He does this by tipping her trailer back over. This causes Hank and Peggy to have many arguments. One of them ends with Hank insinuating that Peggy should go to Hell.
On the news, the upcoming tornado is likened to Hell, which Bobby finds amusement in. That’s why he says his mom is going to Hell too because the news said so. He’s not worried though. Bobby is just a kid that doesn’t understand words well.
