Recap / King Of The Hill S 13 E 16 Bad News Bill

Go To

When Hank tries to be realistic about Bobby's below-average baseball abilities, he is vilified by Bobby's over-enthusiastic Little League coach, who only wants to set Bobby up for disappointment. Meanwhile, Bill is hired as the head of the baseball field's snack counter.


Tropes:

  • Persona Non Grata: Hank becomes one of these to the little league after he lies to get on the field to see Bobby play.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: After Bradford bans Hank due to his Competition Freak nature, he has Bill in charge of the league's business and affairs. Bill being Bill takes this too far and begins to boss Hank around.
  • Special Guest: Series regular David Herman as Coach Bradford.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Coach Bradford's words of encouragement do nothing to help Bobby with his lack of athleticism and he gets destroyed by the opposing team when they quickly realize he's the weakest link. Hank has to step in and literally pull him out of the game to save him from further humiliation.
