History Awesome / KingOfTheHill

** Becomes a moment of funny at the end. Dale literally collapses, clawing at Bill, saying, "Underwear! Singing! Fat!"

* In the final episode, Bobby single-handedly takes on the state meat-grading championship after the rest of his team is stranded by their rivals. ''After'' the team disparaged him and treated him like crap for making a mistake at regionals. The crowner comes at the end, where the team shows up and forces Bobby onto the sidelines on the assumption that he'll choke. On the final challenge, they're about to declare a cut of beef perfect, but Bobby sees an imperfection. Hank tells him to stand up for himself and Bobby goes over and, against the protests of his team, points out the flaw, winning the competition entirely on his own.

*** AAnd this is after the teens spent the whole episode tormenting Hank and CO on and off the field. NOt only that but Hank wins their amp as a prize after they spent most of the episode annoying hank with their loud music too. And to cap it off Hank and freinds, and a local old man, leave a flaming bag of dog poo on the teens porch just to rub salt in the wounds. Bad. Ass.

** Luanne also gets another, albeit minor, one when going into labour with Gracie. After being caught in a tug-of-war on child-rearing between her sister-in-law Myrna and Peggy, she finally stands up for herself and [[TakeAThirdOption takes a third choice: her own.]]

*** Dale shooting out two teens lured by luannes answering machine message.

** To properly set the scene Bobby was misbehaving as per usual and Cotton convinced Hank to send him off to Fort Burke (a military school). Cotton finds out that due to lawsuits it's been toned down on the punishment (hazing was reduced from beating new recruits with socks full of oranges to smashing trash can lids together on the first night) after being told this Cotton tries to take over the place. The principal tells him he has no right to fire him (Cotton gets him fired by talking with his dean). Cotton takes over punishing him harder. He begins with making him rake leaves and Bobby makes jokes (pretends he's eating them) Cotton makes him eat all the leftover food from the other cadets. Bobby happily eats them so Cotton makes him sit on a large block of ice in his underwear and Bobby waits it out (He says his fat makes it easy for him to survive the cold).Than he's forced into the Hole and he outlasts Cotton when he was a kid. The best part is the second he gets out he sees his other cadets, smiles and than cracks a joke.

-----> BOBBY HILL - [[spoiler:3 days]

* Hank standing up to the MoralGuardian who got Halloween banned.

-----> BOBBY HILL - [[spoiler:3 days]]

* Peggy also has one in [[TheOneWith the one where]] [[TheWesley Lucky]] tries to get his GED. After she finds out that his "code of honor" won't let him marry Luanne till he gets his GED. She intentionally tells him the wrong answers (though she's right that a number can have more than 1 square root). Then, after she admits it, she finds out that neither his father nor grandfather had met their goals. She tells Hank, "I think what we're looking at here is a long line of bastards." When he tells Hank to kick him in the ribs for some reason, she kicks him instead.

*** After the rest of their respective teams are out, the leader of the teams disrespects the ball guy while asking where hank is.... only to find out that it was Hank in disquse and promptly get's a chest full of paint.

** YMMV. Personally, this, along with her lines before Cotton's death, [[MoralEventHorizon makes me absolutely hate Peggy.]] She'd already shown herself to have no problem lying to her family for her own personal gain, but she usually had the decency to only lie about non serious things.
** This troper is usually amused by Peggy's antics, but this was her personal DethroningMomentOfSuck in my book (plus, I kind of like Lucky).

- An earlier moment that was both CMOF and CMOA for Peggy was when she found out Hank was in trouble. She kicks the door to the bar Buck and Ray are drinking at and Buck is scared calling her one of the big dogs.

* Khan gets one in the episode "Orange You Sad I Did Say Banana". In the episode, Khan begins to feel he's not in touch with his Laotian hertiage after Ted Wasongasong calls him a "Banana" (A racial slur towards Asians) and tries to act more like a "traditional" Laotian (Much to the dismay of Connie and Mihn). However, when he finds out that Ted wants him to fight in a battle against the Laotian government (a battle which he points out he'll most likely either die in or be [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brain-washed]] in), he calls Ted (A man he ''idolizes'' the the point of HoYay) out on it.

* Hank managing to stop a group of rioting kids in "Bobby Rae". Not by yelling at them and/or threatening to kick their asses, but by ''calmly'' pointing out all the horrible things that might happen to them while protesting.

* Peggy also has one in [[TheOneWith the one where]] [[TheWesley Lucky]] tries to get his GED. After she finds out that his "code of honor" won't let him marry Luanne till he gets his GED.

When he tells Hank to kick him in te ribs for some reason, she kicks him instead.

* And then there's the episode where Hank, Bill, Dale, and Boomhaur beat a bunch of rowdy teenagers at a game of paintball.
----->'''Recording of Luanne's voice''': Please leave a message after the beep.
----->'''Dale''': (Deadpan) Beep. (Shoots teenager with paint gun)

* Dale helping Hank getting his driver's licence changed so it identifies him as a male instead of a female by using his rampant paranoia ''to his advantage'' for once.

* A McMansion gets built in the neighborhood, and the construction is so shoddy that during a large thunderstorm, it threatens to actually fall apart and destroy several houses around it. What does the community do? GRAB HAMMERS, AXES, CHAINSAWS, AND A TRUCK AND TEAR THE DAMN THING DOWN WHILE THE THUNDERSTORM IS RAGING AROUND THEM.
