History Characters / KingOfTheHillTheHillsNeighbors

Bill, one of Hank's closest friends, was a promising high school football player who later joined the Army with big hopes and dreams. He married someone he thought was the perfect woman, but that relationship soon went south and never looked back, and Bill found a new companion in the throes of laziness, regressed to a washed up and rotund balding man. Now middle aged, broke, and divorced, Bill's constantly depressed and full of self-loathing. The guys try to put up with him as best they can.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Peppered into his fast talking dialect is typically a "dang ol' (insert noun)".

* ThrillSeeker: In regards to love, he seems to like getting hitched in the most unconventional relationships; Lenore was an abusive ex who took advantage of whatever she could take from him, all his failed attempts to woo Peggy despite being married to Hank, getting the attention of three girls whom he didn't know much about that he didn't know one of them was a ''cousin'' but ''he didn't care'' to find out until ''after'' having sex at least, him dating Kahn's mom who was older than him, and then his ForbiddenLove with Reverend Stroup which only fails when she quits her religion to be with him and he tells her to back off (and then [[BewareTheNiceOnes she snaps]]). He does draw a line trying to date underage girls, though.

* OldShame: InUniverse, he views his days as a delinquent this way. He tells Connie that he met her mother at a national science museum, when in truth they met at a discotheque.

** In the episode where the kids get lost in the caves, Kahn tells Hank he's afraid Joseph might [[SexualEuphemism try something]] with Connie, but says "Bobby's a good kid" so he knows Bobby would never do anything like that.

* BareYourMidriff: Wears a midriff-baring top in "The Redneck on Rainey Street" as part of their new "redneck" lifestyle.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Largely as a result of his ex-wife leaving him without so much as a DearJohnLetter.
* TheDitz: He's not too bright and sometimes makes Luanne look like a genius in comparison.

* WomenAreWiser: Mostly averted; she's greedy, ambitious and kind of a {{Jerkass}} just like her husband, but she is ''slightly'' more willing to interact with her neighbors than Kahn is. She's much more accepting of Bobby and Connie's relationship than Kahn, though; in "Father of the Bribe", when it looks like they might break up, Minh [[LetMeTellYouAStory tells Connie how she and Kahn met]] and that, despite their differences, she knew he was right for her, and that the only person who knows if Bobby is right for Connie is Connie herself.

* JerkAss: Generally presented as a rude and short-tempered showboat who intentionally does things to anger and annoy other people.

* {{Jerkass}}: Usually openly rude and dismissive of others for no good reason. Sometime she is just really tactless such as when she accidentally makes fun of Peggy's shoes in their first encounter.

* BeYourself: After the events of "Orange You Sad I Did Say Banana," Kahn realizes he doesn't have to cater to Ted Wassanasong's ever whim to gain his approval and shouldn't let Ted tell him or his family how to live. Kahn likes his American lifestyle, and it makes him and his family happy, so if Ted calls him a banana (slang for an Asian person acting like a white person), so what?

** Pretty much any Bill-centric episode will reveal something he really enjoys and/or gave s very good at, but circumstances force him back to square one by the end of the episode.

** A skilled barber who is bald. Not that being able to cut the hair of others automatically equates to being able to cut your own, but Bill doesn't even have the option. Played straight that he can give others haircuts, but since he's an army barber, the army has a very tight grip on outside-haircuts and charges non-army members up to ''hundreds'' of dollars, as Hank found the hard way.

* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Justified, in that he spends a lot of time outdoors and has a tanning bed in his house.

** In the episode "Patch Boomhauer", he is furious with his older brother, Patch, for trying to seduce Luanne (despite being due to marry Catherine), and reminds him of his wedding vows. Patch's refusal to listen leads to a shoving match that turns to a fistfight, and it leads to them rolling into the streets while beating each other up.

** To [[SiblingYinYang his older brother]], Patch. Both are {{Casanova Wannabe}}s, except Boomhauer is calmer and introspective. Patch is a womanizing sleazebag who's willing to cheat on his fiancee, Katherine, with underage girls like Luanne. And while Boomhauer is loyal to his friends/loved ones, Patch isn't, as he was willing to lie about Boomhauer's patronage of prostitutes to save his own skin.

* TheOneThatGotAway: His ex-girlfriend Catherine, for whom he has unresolved feelings. Boomhauer's none too happy when Catherine gets engaged to his older brother, Patch, especially when Patch's infidelity comes to light after he tries seducing Luanne.

* SiblingYinYang: With his older brother, Patch. Patch has the same casanova tendencies as Boomhauer, but he's willing to seduce underage girls, while Boomhauer refuses to sleep with women who are either engaged, married, or barely legal. While Boomhauer still loves his ex-girlfriend Katherine despite them having long since broken up, Patch is disloyal to her and was willing to cheat on his fiancee the moment he sees another pretty girl. And while Boomhauer is frequently willing to participate in his neighbors' hijinks, he's very loyal to his friends. Patch is not, being willing to lie about his own brother just to protect himself from being exposed as an adulterer.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: His older brother, Patch, looks almost exactly like him, except he's a darker blonde and has a mullet.

* AmbiguousDisorder: For a while, but in "Just Another Manic Kahn-Day," it's revealed he has manic depressive mood swings and needs to take medication for it (and the medication does make him act like an erratic jerk sometimes, but it's better that than having boundless energy one day and being utterly depressed and listless the next).

* GrumpyBear: The majority of his screen time is spent scorning over his redneck neighbors.

* GrumpyBear: Her neutral mood seems to be "angry".

* AwesomeMcCoolName: His full name is Guillaume Fontaine de la Tour D'Haute-Rive which is French for "Strong-Willed Warrior Fountain of the Tower of the Upper Bank."

This irritable Laotian-American systems analyst moved onto Rainey Street from Los Angeles with his wife and daughter in the series's first season. In a twist on the time-tested PositiveDiscrimination trope, Kahn is regularly rude towards his neighbors and dismisses them as dumb rednecks. Nobody really listens to him, however, especially not his daughter, Connie.

* TheRedBaron: Known during his high school football prime as "The Billdozer".
