Buck and his equally crooked brother Randy get Luanne into the Foxy Boxing circuit and throw a plethora of fixed fights her way. But when Luanne believes her skills are real, she goes looking for a fight with professional boxer Freeda Foreman (who voices herself).
Tropes:
- Adam Westing: George Foreman, along with two of his children, voice themselves in this episode. While his overall family are presented in a relatively grounded and unexaggerated light, Foreman himself is presented as an egotistical fool who takes grave offence when someone insults his famous grill. The real-life fact that Foreman named all three of his sons after himself is also frequently joked about.
- Berserk Button: Hank trying to get Freeda's father George to call off the fight turns into the two pushing each other's buttons. Hank by calling his famous George Foreman Grill a 'Novelty grill' and Foreman claiming propane gives you brain damage.Hank: And at least my grill isn't sold in housewares!
- Book Ends: At the start of the episode, Luanne gets angry when a boy in her class takes an objectifying picture of her. At the end of the episode, the same boy asks to take a picture with Luanne, having heard about her fight with Freeda Foreman.
- The Boxing Episode: Luanne wants to become a boxer, but is tricked by Buck and Randy into becoming a Foxy Boxer. She becomes successful, but believes that all the fixed fights were real and decides to challenge a real professional.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Luanne becomes frustrated with boys just seeing her as a pretty face and decides to take up boxing to prove herself, but her fights just make them objectify her even more. During the climactic fight, the boys on the front row gradually go from catcalling and wolf-whistling to genuinely cheering and supporting Luanne, and one of her classmates even asks to take a picture with her after he hears about the fight.
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: When Hank learns the truth and explains things to Luanne, it takes a little while to sink in:Hank: You see, Buck knew that men would pay to see you dance around the ring. So he found a bunch of cleaning ladies for you to fight and knock out.Luanne: But I'm a great boxer! And that's why the fans are always yelling and hollering and... throwing... dollar bills and... Oh God, am I stupid!
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Hank meets with George Foreman to call off the fight between Luanne and Freeda, Foreman happily agrees, and even offers to have his George Foreman Grill be put up at Hank's place of work. Instead of agreeing or at least saying he'll think it over, Hank puts propane on a pedestalnote and casually dismisses Foreman's grill as inferior, causing an offended Foreman to reinstate the fight.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Only the first round of Luanne's climactic fight with Freeda is shown. It's mentioned in the last scene that she lasted three rounds after deciding not take a dive.
- Remember the New Guy?: Buck's younger brother, Randy makes his only appearance in this episode.
- Special Guest: George Foreman, along with his daughter Freeda and son George Foreman III, voice themselves. Bruce Dern also voices Randy Strickland.
- Self-Deprecation: George Foreman takes great offense at Hank calling his grill a "novelty grill" only fit for dieters and little girls and reinstates Luanne's match with his daughter because of it, tries pushing the grill on an overweight spectator at Luanne's match against his daughter even though he's already told George six times that he doesn't want one and after Luanne takes a particularly hard punch from Freeda, George Foreman has this remark.If I could take a punch like that, I might have been able to think of a name besides George for all my sons!
- Throwing the Fight: All of Luanne's initial success in the ring comes from her opponents doing this. None of them are professional fighters, with one of them even being Buck's housekeeper, but Luanne is convinced that they're all legitimate opponents and that she's a talented fighter for defeating them.
