Recap / King Of The Hill S 7 E 6 The Son Also Roses

Go To

Bobby becomes a rose grower when he tires of doing the Landry football team's laundry and recruits the help of two cannabis cultivators to help him win a contest.


Tropes:

  • An Aesop: Not everything has to be a competition. A hobby can just be a hobby.
  • Competition Freak: Hank ruins the fun of the rose competition for Bobby thanks to his competitive attitude.
  • Mistaken for Masturbating: Hank is suspicious as to why Bobby is spending so much time in his bedroom closet; it is implied that he thinks he is doing this, but he is actually growing roses and he's hiding it because he didn't want Hank to find out.
  • Mushroom Samba: The two stoners hallucinate that Hank has an enormous head, many mouths, and has a distorted voice.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Morgan, the man Hank meets when signing up for the rose competition — a very tall, buff black man (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan) who loves growing roses and bred his own crossbreed called a Ruby My Dear.
  • Serious Business: As Hank finds out, rose competitions aren't just fun things for old ladies to do in their free time. It's serious, time consuming work and effort.
  • Special Guest: Michael Clarke Duncan as Morgan Webb and Betty White as both Dorothy and Ellen.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Morgan's reaction when he finds out Hank is trying to get his son into the very tough world of rose competitions.
    Morgan: How dare you steal that boy's innocence!
