Recap / King Of The Hill S 7 E 1 Get Your Freak Off

Go To

Hank worries that the music and media Bobby consumes is too sexually charged for a boy his age, so he does whatever he can to make Bobby's childhood more wholesome. Meanwhile, the wives (Nancy, Minh, and Peggy) discuss which man is more handsome: Dale, Bill, Hank, Boomhauer, or John Redcorn.


Tropes:

  • Alpha Bitch: Serena Shaw, a stereotypical "cool girl" who takes over Jordan's slumber party and forces the other kids to play 7 Minutes in Heaven.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Peggy was so desperate to have Hank not be tied with Bill for last place that she let Bobby go to a slumber party Hank didn't want him to be at, exposing him to sexual situations he clearly wasn't ready for.
  • Friend to All Children: Hank shows up to Jordan's party and turns it from something out of control to something pure and enjoyable. Minh and Nancy are highly impressed by how good he is with the kids.
  • Girl of the Week: Jordan Bronson, the girl that Bobby dates, only appears in this episode.
  • Helicopter Parent: Hank is seen as a fuddy duddy for wanting Bobby to have more old-fashioned dating experiences as an adolescent. However, by the end of the episode, Nancy and Minh start to change their opinion of him for how he handled the situation at the slumber party.
  • Hands-Off Parenting: Mary and McB's style of parenting. They have no issue with Jordan being in clearly sexual or suggestive situations and treat their adult son more like a roommate.
  • Insult Backfire: McB is insulted by being compared to Ronald Reagan. Hank is insulted by the comparison, as well, but for the opposite reason.
    McB: "Hey, don't call me that!"
    Hank: "Yeah, don't call him that."
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: 4Skore references many late 90s/early 2000s boy bands like N Sync and the Backstreet Boys.
  • One-Steve Limit: According to Bobby, there's two different Chrises in 4Skore: Chris and cool Chris.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Howard insists on being referred to as McB.
  • Special Guest: Eliza Dushku as Jordan Bronson, Debra Messing as her mom Mary Hilgren-Bronson, and Milla Jovovich as Serena Shaw. Elizabeth Perkins also has a small role as Serena's mom, Jan.
  • Ten Minutes in the Closet: Serena rigs the name draw for 7 Minutes in Heaven so that Bobby and Jordan would end up in the closet together. They end up talking and liking each other, but before anything could go beyond Bobby taking his shirt off, Hank interrupts the party and drags him out.
  • Think of the Children!: When discussing modern dating with Hank and Peggy, Luanne says that everyone is obsessed with sex and young girls wear clothes that are too skimpy and provocative, not realizing that her own everyday outfit is very skimpy.
    Luanne: Do you see the way the little girls are dressing? Walking around in their tiny shirts, everything right out on display. Where's the mystery? And we wonder why men don't respect us!
  • Three Minutes of Writhing: Hank is disturbed when he realizes that the dancing at 4Skore's concert is very provocative.
