Peggy’s Mexican Trial – King of the Hill

  • I hate Peggy.

    I know people just like her. So incompetent and so oblivious to it at the same time that they actually think they are good at it.

    These are the idiots who get elected to office positions and become your boss.

    Fuck Peggy Hill. Hank was far too good for her.

    She fucked Bill too, that’s why Bobby looks like him.

  • The people who say they hate Peggy always highlight her mistakes and conveniently ignore all the times she 100% absolutely kicked some major ass. That’s the whole point with her – she has misplaced confidence because of the times she unquestionably backs it up, not because of her faults.

    Peggy’s Pageant Fever is arguably the best episode to showcase this. She goes into the contest thinking she’s competing with “a bunch of bimbos,” only to discover every last contestant is prettier and more accomplished than her, with a wide array of skills and worldly life experience to their obvious attractiveness. She realizes she’s completely outclassed in literally every category and has zero idea what to do. As Hank puts it (to Luanne), “Your aunt has always had a lot of confidence in her looks, but now she’s in a bind. She either has to admit to herself that’s true, or ignore it and lose. Either way it’s gonna hurt.”

    Nancy – who is a judge and previous winner of the pageant – also has an amazing line, “I think women like you shouldn’t be in a pageant if you’re not ready to be judged by a woman like me.”

    Also, Peggy has a hilarious line when the duct tape on her ass – “Do you have any spare tape? My ass has come loose.”

    And despite all of this, she still presses on, knowing this is one time she’s going to get her ass handed taped up and handed back to her.

    She’s walking a real fine line between being absolutely annoying and infuriating as hell, but this idea that she hasn’t earned some of that bravado is equally as annoying.
