Recap / King Of The Hill S 10 E 9 The Year Of Washing Dangerously

Go To

Kahn buys the local car wash as part of a plan to get rich, and Hank finds himself working for his disrespectful, money-obsessed neighbor when Buck takes a stake in the business as well.


This episode contains examples of:

  • An Aesop: There's no shortcuts to success: running a successful business takes hard work.
  • Get-Rich-Quick Scheme: Kahn buys a turnkey operation, basically tries to squeeze as much money out of it as possible as quickly as possible, and ends up running it into the ground with various shortcuts.
  • Language Fluency Denial: Kahn briefly pretends he doesn't speak English when an angry crowd confronts him about ripping them off at the car wash.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: "Dr. Money," the infomercial host that inspires Kahn to buy the car wash, is a parody of Tom Vu, an infomercial host who pitched various get-rich-quick real estate schemes while surrounding himself with bikini-clad models on a yacht.
