The Fitting First And Last Line Of King Of The Hill

The first and last words uttered in King Of The Hill are very fitting. Mike Judge is arguably best known as the creator – and voice – behind Beavis And Butt-Head. The gruesome twosome first appeared in Judge’s short film Frog Baseball before fronting their iconic MTV series. In addition to live-action shows like Silicon Valley, Judge is also behind some cult classic movies, including Office Space and 2006’s Idiocracy.

One of Judge’s most acclaimed animated series is King Of The Hill, which debuted in 1997. The show centers around uptight propane salesman Hank Hill, who constantly has to deal with his oddball family and friends, including teen son Bobby Hill (voiced by Pamela Adlon). Hank was basically the straight man of the show’s line-up of characters, which became a success for its great writing and voice cast. The show ended up running for 13 seasons in total but was abruptly canceled when Fox wanted to make room in its schedule for Family Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show.

One of the strengths of King Of The Hill was its character work, with everyone from Hank to Bobby, Luanne, Dale and every other major or minor character having their time to shine. The series also became famous for its various catchphrases, including “That boy ain’t right” – uttered by Hank when Bobby does or says something his father just can’t comprehend – to Bobby’s “That’s my purse! I don’t know you!” Of course, “Yep” is the most famous quote from King Of The Hill’s main characters, and is typically uttered multiple times when Hank, Bill, Dale and Boomhauer are just standing around drinking beer. In fact, “Yep” is the very first word of the show’s debut episode and the final word of the finale.

Bill (Stephen Root) utters the first “yep” of the King Of The Hill’s pilot episode, while season 13’s finale “To Sirloin With Love” featured an all too rare instance of Hank and Bobby bonding. The two prepare meat on a grill for a cookout and Hank complements Bobby’s work, stating he’ll be grilling all his life. The final word of the series comes from Bobby, who utters his very first “yep” as they bring the food to their neighbors.

King Of The Hill’s finale was a relatively low-key affair by the standards of most sitcoms, but it was also a warm farewell to the show. In fact, the first and last shots of the series are also linked, with “Pilot” opening on a camera panning down over Arlen to Hank and his friends, while “To Sirloin With Love” closes on the camera panning up to the sky. It’s hard to think of a more fitting opening and closing line for King Of The Hill, but if rumors of a forthcoming revival come to pass, fans can place bets on the first episode opening with a character uttering “yep” once more.
