Had a new background for you all, but it glitched out on me during editing and rendering so I went back to the classic one for a bit.
I love this show and this channel!
Can't wait!
Why though
I can't believe you didn't mention it in this video, but the episode Tanking it to the Streets, was based on a real incident that happened in San Diego California in 1995. A guy stole a tank and tried to attack a hospital with it and he got shot by the cops. He ran over a bunch of cars and stuff. I remember seeing it on the show World's Scariest Police Chases with John Bunnel, years ago. But I can't find it on You Tube, though, because I guess nobody posted it, unfortunately. But I know that the scene in the King of the Hill episode, where Bill was running over the parking meters with the tank, was taken directly from the video footage of that incident, because the guy who did it, knocked down a bunch of parking meters, exactly the same way. I wouldn't even be surprised if they used that actual video to guide the animation. Here's a Wikipedia article about the incident. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_Nelson_(criminal) And actually, the show I saw is posted, but it doesn't include the parking meter footage, though, for some reason. Here it is. ruclips.net/video/6TIun536HFo/видео.html I know there's another version of this where they show they guy mowing down the parking meters, but I can't find it.
This is my favorite cartoon sitcom ever!!!!!!
Can we just talk about how easily dale gribble was able to steal classified medical documents from a heavily guarded military base?
Exterminator!
Get into anywhere with a ladder just say your maintenance
This aged so poorly
"You'd be surprised how far I've gotten with the right attitude and a clipboard"
@@The-Creeper69 yhea but I'ma super stoner so for me overalls orange t shirt work boots and a ladder will get me anywhere especially with a buddy dressed the same
"Dale ran into a closet and came out of a sewer" that niggas setup must be insane 😂
Don't forget he tried to dig a tunnel between the houses and if I remember correctly has been found out to have a tunnel to hanks basement as well.
Honestly if Dale wasn’t so cowardly he’d be a real force to be reckoned with
@@dpray96 It went into hanks kitchen. And also the only way I see it there has to be a trap door in his closet leading to the basement where he's got a number of tunnels that will get him out of the house unnoticed. Still its insane how much he put into it.

Bill is not really that lazy. Only when his depression incapacitates him. When he's doing well mentally/emotionally he is quite industrious.
He really is a true example of how much a mental Illness can wreck people. When I had mine I also got called lazy a lot but it was apathy I just didn't care and thus didn't try. It's amazing how once you clear up the actual issue people can become a hugely improved version of themselves
Also when he has someone low key insulting him, like when peggy roped him into that mlm.
When he was diagnosed with diabetes, he ended up dominating in wheelchair rugby.
Especially that bodybuilding episode.
Probably #1 cause was his bad marriage and divorce. Whenever he gets a small boost of confidence he excels
"I know you're disappointed with the way you turned out. We all are."
There's two ways that can be taken; one is relatably depressing and one is unintentionally savage.
Knowing Hank? It's the savage one. The man doesn't seem to see any flaws in his own life. At least ones that he can't place on other people
Two things can be real.
I’d like to think Hank chose to dig deep on his life to relate to Bill who was on the verge of despair. You know, that it’s okay to make mistakes and dwell on the,. He had to say something, and I think it was on the right track until Dale said it was the placebo effect.
Both
I think it was the former. Bill as a teen looked like he was going places. He was confident fit and driven. As his friend it would be heartbreaking and disappointing to see him become a bluberous sad sack who had nothing going for him.
I like how king of the hill tackles so many topics that even nowadays aren't addressed or are poorly handled: male victims of domestic violence, family politics, mental breakdowns-poor Bill having that attack when he couldn't get over his wife leaving him and was dressing like her over Christmas, bipolar depression, peer pressure, political divides and so on and so on
It really was ahead of its time
Also the stupidity of water saving toilets. They. Don't. Work.
@@bobtheduck dude for real it's moritfying trying to use them. You end up staying in the bathroom for like 20 minutes trying to flush
@@laurene988 I have to ask, what exactly are water saving toilets?
@@insertname3977 basically toilets that don't flush properly

Peggy is written to be a genuinely unlikable character, but not an outright "evil" character. Its actually amazing how well the writers do at making someone that the audience hates, but is more flawed in ways that continually create bad situations than an outright bad person.
As I have gotten older, I have learned to really appreciate Peggy. I mean, you look at her life and you realize that her overconfidence has kept her alive. Her mother is cruel and over critical, other people don't understand her, her brother is a criminal and her sister-in-law is wreck. She has issues with Hank's infertility and her ability as a mother, her failings in her professional life, and she tries her hardest to be a loving mother to Bobby and Luanne. Plus Cotton's treatment of her. Oh, and her breaking every bone in her body and still managing to recover.
But Peggy pulls through and remains herself. That is amazing.
I've learned to love Peggy as a character, it's hard to find a character who's flaws are written so consistent and realistically.
@@carlycrays2831 'Ho yea! Peggy was annoying sometimes but I always thought she was pretty a-ok!
@@carlycrays2831 I have a hard time empathizing or sympathizing with someone who's sheer arrogance continually leads them to creating bad situations. I can understand how absolutely fucked Peggy is, mentally. I get that. My own family is pretty dysfunctional too. But, just because she had it rough, that doesn't mean she's absolved of being an ass.
@@MrNickPresley yep
Kahn having his car destroyed wasnt about him deserving it for being a jerk about having it. It was about dale being confident about driving a tank, then blindly plowing over kahn's new car, and a tank just doing what a tank does in that scenario. Its a sight gag more than anything.
to be completely fair this entire scene is also a tremendous moment of triumph for Dale. Did he make mistakes while driving that tank? Yes. However, he also *actually fucking operated that tank.* Something he learned how to do because he *taught himself how to speak Russian* and then *translated a classified military document he got his hands on from Russian intelligence about a stolen manual of how to operate the tank*
that is extraordinary to me, it doesn't matter if Dale fucked up and drove over Kahn's car. Man's a fucking legend either way
I found it funny but not in a mean spirited way more of i found the insanity of the situation funny

I refuse to believe this is a coincidence. You guys can't fool us! 😂
Is this a crossover episode
Just came from watching Johnny's 🤣
Edit: Oof... Phrasing.
Even in a Bill-centred episode, Dale's legendary nature shines through.
Sometimes short outbursts of a side character can be funnier than whatever is going on in the main plot.
Yep, dude's the best part of the show.^^
@@crystalgemgirl731 I don't know. I think what makes it so great is that there are multiple great parts to thE show.
@@Maw0 Is true.
@@crystalgemgirl731 Thanks.
Life tends to be made more complicated than "It's their fault" or "It's my fault". Usually, it's a little bit of everyone's fault.
Except if someone victimizes another. You can't wag your finger at the victin and be like "Now now. Try to be rational here."
You can't always do and try better
Actually it's never my fault. As I am a man
Duh
True that most stuff happens beyond your control but you can choose how you react. You can either fall into to despair in face of adversity or buckle down and do something about it. Take amputees for example. Some become bitter while others join the olympics
@@jakecastillo6731 See this is a perfect statement describing true detrimental "Victim Mentality" where you allow your situation to dictate your perspective and actions.
The video was spot off on fully informing and clarifying that.
“I really need you guys to understand. Dale ran into his closet, and came out of a sewer.” Fucking classic Dale... ‘member that tunnel he built into Hank’s house? 😭
As of now, he reviewed that episode.
Missed opportunity to name the video 'the pros and khans of being a victim'
It might have brought confusing on people thinking Khan was the the reason why he's miserable.
@@Maw0 Sometimes you gotta let the good jokes fly away.
@@judgem0rt1s23 Yeah. It wasn't that great if a joke anyway.
You could hate John Redcorn but you can’t hate his music choices

I'm sorry, John Redcorn likes a singer called... Nancy Marriage?!? The irony!
"Nancy Marriage" whaaaaaaat da faaaaq
There's a hole in my pocket where my money should go... Theres a hole..
Shady: and right here is the most important moment in the episode-
The 15 second unskippable ad: my time to shine
Glad it wasn't just me
I always love how Bill managed to operate a whole ass M1A1 Abrams all by himself... drunk.
The driver seat is isolated from the rest of the crew so for the turret to start swinging around while he's driving is such a Battlefield moment it's quite impressive.
Remember, he wanted to be in the Armored Division when he signed up.
I think that was actually a Patton and not an Abrams but it's hard to tell because of the limited animation.
You know, the same kind of tank that got used in the Meth Tank Rampage (if you haven't heard, look it up)
@@Eye_Of_Odin978oh it’s an abrams all right the turret being more square
I like the fact that Dale didn’t disguise himself specifically in front of the MPs. Like he was worried that they’d see through this disguise or something.
Yeah I love King of the Hill. I'm glad someone hates John Redcorn as much as me :)
@My Thought's
Are you serious?
@My Thought's He takes his hatred for white people out on the white men whose wives he has sex with. Even if his racism is somewhat warranted, it is still a shitty thing to do, especially since he never tries to really take responsibility for Joseph.
@My Thought's Well I hate the fact that he thinks he's a healer, he's a massage therapist and yet he has an affair with a married woman and wants to be the son's dad. He's smug about it too
Nancy is worse
I can't be pissed at Redcorn because he plays like a Sherman Alexie character. Nancy, however, is an awful AND annoying bitch
I still can't figure out why my mom thought this was inappropriate fore growing up. It's such a great show
Probably because it aired on Fox, and I assume your mom was conditioned to believe that Fox shows are lewd and crude.
@@usjta like the episode where hank refuses to lift the parental block on fox unless its football season..
Our parents were too lazy to watch stuff and find out if it’s okay for their kids to watch.
it haas a lot of thing kid should not know as a young kid maaybe teen yes younger then that no same with show like this
For the victim mentality thing, I'd have to add that it's also tied into the worst abusers who often cry as the biggest victims. I've heard it as the description of what bullying was and I didn't see it as a kid but I see grown up, sometimes extremely old people doing exactly that description every now and again
As for the Peggy hate, I think the issue is that there are episodes centered around Peggy in which she makes annoying and terrible decisions or just gets on the nerves of a lot of viewers.
I've also seen the opposite where abusers use our hatred of the whole "victim mentality" to their advantage. They shame their victims into staying and gaslight them into believing that it's actually THEIR fault they're being abused and to "stop acting like a victim."
Definitely my aunt emotionally and verbally abused me but i was always the one who was to blame for everything, i had to be the bigger person not the 50 year old woman
@@gaymess8678 Since my comment about a month ago I've learned a lot more about the term "gaslighting" and.... seen how it's applied to people I've actually met, like, holy crap.

@@eef3044 It wasn't THAT bad. That dang movie was so cheesy, how could you even take it seriously?
King of the Hill was the only television show me and my dad ever watched together. We watched it every night during dinner.
Man same, i got early memories from like 1999 being four years old watchin it on the couch with my dad
Peggy's behavior in the B-side is another way of responding to insecurity, the same kind of insecurity that Bill is feeling in the A-Side.
My dad was a propane salesman (for real) as a kid so this show always hit a special place in my heart. It’s only gotten better with age
“So it’s the governments fault that I’m bald, fat, and lazy?“
That moment when you realize that operation infinite walrus was the perfect set up for this joke, and you didn’t realize until Bill explicitly said it. What a show!
No. The writers are admitting that the government caused these issues on purpose. It’s all satanic.
Another thing about Kahns car getting crushed. That tank would have just driven straight into his house
Yeah, I didn't see that until I was almost done editing the video.
Glad someone else noticed haha
@@ShadyDoorags so Bill is the walrus ?
At the time this came out there was a large groundswell of disdain for SUV's.
"Any of you guys have a large portion of your medical history blacked out?" Is a great ice breaker
"Who starts a conversation this way?! I just sat down!"
Victim mentality was the reason I ended up leaving my last 2 exes.
Ex 1 chose to not go back on his meds after not being able to take them and got mad at me for not wanting to be his therapist and wanting him to take the meds he needed but didn't want to take. He then started harassing and bullying me because I left him for wanting me to literally cure him and then be blamed me for him being told to stop harassing me and people defending me for 4 years of him trying to ruin my image.
My second ex started blaming all of his life on others. He hated his job at Wal-Mart but he refused to job search for a new job he just stayed and complain. He complained about his weight but ate fast food every day because it was cheaper even though I offered to help him budget for healthier at home meals. Then when I left because he was becoming abusive he accused me of cheating and said the entire thing was my fault.
The victim mentality sucks and sometimes its out of your control (for example with my abuse at the hands of my mother when she lived with me). But sometimes its just you (like my previous grades) and its up to you to fix it.
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD-pi. It is so much better knowing that there is a reason for many of my problems. I'm not lazy, stupid, or any of that. I have a neurotransmitter deficiency. But, that does not mean I can continue to simply let myself be that way. Instead, I have acknowledged what the source of the problem is, that this makes it harder for me to do certain things, and that thats alright. But that I still need to do these things to attain my goals. I can work with myself honestly and not compare my success to someone who is neurotypical. Instead, I can say 'I did a good job today' for smaller things and smaller goals that I set for myself. And when I do fail, I can protect my ego a bit better. 'It's alright. Failure happens, and this is hard. But keep going.' And sometimes I just have to accept that I'm different in certain ways and that means going about things differently. Instead of being mad at myself for not fitting in a round hole as a square peg, I can put myself into more square situations.
This is all to say, I am the only one who can make my life better or worse. My genetics may make things harder for me, but they do not make things impossible. Just as someone who has a disposition to a larger body type can still diet, exercise, and be healthy. I can still be productive. It will be harder for us both in our respective roles, but the alternative is death. So we must take responsibility, to live the best life possible for us.
It may not be my fault that I have ADHD-pi, but it is my responsibility to deal with the effects it has on my life.
That is awesome I think my brother has the same problem but my family doesn’t believe in stuff like that. They think he’s just lazy. Do you take medication?
@@artisticagi I take 2 20 mg pills of generic adderall every day. That being said, everyone is different. I hope your brother can get the help he needs
while i completely agree with your mentality and support u 100%, i just want to say that i think moreso rather then actual medical problems or things of that nature, when discussing the victim mentality I think shady is more pointing out things people blame that dont actually have an effect on you, like Bill’s placebo effect. It wasnt a real disability but something he was latching onto to blame anyone but himself, which can really only be a hindrance. Another example is many people today who claim the reason they didnt get the job or get into college, etc. is not because of themselves, but because of any other reason they have no control over. It can go in any direction, but the point is it is extremely encouraged to be a victim these days, and it helps no one (edit: or at least in no real long term way, it may help them in the short term by landing them a job, but if they can’t actually do the work, they will fail eventually so long as meritocracy prevails anyways)
That sounds inspiring, I think i should go get examined too, my family would probably laugh if i told them that but I've had problems focusing since i was little and i often slip into a tick with my fingers, instead of doing something about it i've been taught to hide it, it's only gotten worse and i shouldn't be embarrassed
@@a-a-rom Granted, Bill's problem wasn't a real disability, but that doesn't mean people *with* disabilities can't fall into the victim mentality problem.
I was born with Asperger's syndrome, and for most of my youth was an absolute little shit. As an adult I'm lazy and have moments of depression because of bad decisions I've made throughout my life, as well as other things that were beyond my control. It would be all too easy for me to say that "It's not my fault I'm like this, life's just stupid and unfair" and not do anything whatsoever to improve it. Thankfully I'm smart enough to know my support network won't be alive forever, so I'm trying to learn and figure out how to take care of myself without needing as much assistance.
I'll admit...sometimes it's hard for me to separate what actually has been my fault vs. what hasn't (some days it feels like *everything's* my fault)...but I think it's more beneficial to go "God nerfed me, because he knew I'd be too powerful, otherwise" and learn to better yourself where you can.
The end of the video was on point! The reason victimhood is pushed so hard (especially on minority communities) is because they know it causes stagnation. Nothing kills progress like feeling you don't have power over your destiny. I'm blessed to have had a good father to teach me this lesson young. He grew up poor in the projects, everyone around him was an addict or criminal (none of his childhood friends are left, all are dead or locked up) and my grandfather had (sadly still has) a bad gambling addiction. No one to look to for guidance. So he joined the military, initially thinking he would just join as infantry, but he scored so well on the ASVAB he was immediately offered a job in Washington. However, he had a passion for aircraft, so instead he took a job as a jet engine mechanic which he did for many years. He ironically ended up doing the same job he was initially offered later in his career, as at that point he had a family and it paid better, but that job still fulfilled another passion of his, space. My father went from a young guy from a rough background who left high school and didn't go to college, to being an expert in his field, making good money and travelling the world. I realise things are different today, as you need a 100k degree to flip burgers, but what will never change is if you have the will to change and better yourself there is no power on this Earth that can stop you. Even if your father doesn't set the best example, it still teaches you what not to do. Watching how my grandfather wasted all his income on gambling taught my father to never gamble. If your father isn't in the picture, find other figures to look up to. Read someone like Marcus Aurelius, or watch videos from someone like David Goggins. The media you consume and the people you idolise can change your life, for better or for worse. Make sure it's the former. I realise I went on a bit of a tangent here because of a King of the Hill video, and I know no one will probably read it, but on the chance someone does I hope it helps.
Just a little something, you do not need a 100k degree for a worthwhile job. I got a Bachelors degree in cyber security at a state college for a good price and it opened up a lot of doors for me.
The part where Boomhauer starts eating gum and suddenly stops was the studio censoring his cigarette smoking. He was supposed to be sparking up a cigarette but the studio changed it to gum during production since I don't think you can have a main character smoking on screen unless it's to show cigarettes are bad
Dale smokes all the time. In fact there was an episode where Hank was chosen to carry the Olympic torch and Dale lights a cigarette with the flame.
Doesn’t Hank smoke?
@@fduranthesee oh yeah, there was that episode where he makes Bobby smoke a whole case of cigarettes after he catches Bobby smoking. Then we learn that Hank used to smoke.
@@Hyper_Drud dale isnt exactly written to be a role model though..
@@collinheble709 I don’t think Boomhauer is a good role model either, but it doesn’t change the fact that Boomhauer chewing gum instead of lighting up doesn’t make much sense.
In a way Bill is like a less tragic/unstable version of the Michael Douglas' character in Falling Down. In that he put a lot of years into his job and got nothing for it.
Also that George of the Jungle reference was perfect.
That movie would have been better if he took out his rage on the right people.
@@MasterAdam100 The point of the film was to show how taking out your rage on people instead of dealing with it doesn't work. You just cause a lot of pain. As that home movie with his wife and daughter showed.

I disagree with the joke not working for Kahn getting his brand new car getting destroyed when he claims to be a Buddhist but being so materialistic and consumerist that he becomes a picture perfect example of why desire leads to suffering. It’s more like the universe telling him to reevaluate his values in a not so subtle way.
Plus, he's so vain he needs to rub his new car in his neighbour's faces but because he can't park it in his garage it gets runover
To explain what happened to Khan's SUV, I have a feeling he called the police and it was the same cops from Bill's encounter, so they took care of it quietly somehow. Khan is not without a vehicle for long after this, mind you. Insurance could have paid out if the investigating officers sign off on everything. :P
I really like the final line, with bill smiling and proudly announcing he is brushing everyday now. It really sells the more impactful meaning to me, because it implies that Bill wasn't taking care of himself due to his depression, but with new found love is working to take care of himself more.
I love Hank in this episode not only does he show how strong of a friend he is but his loyalty and honesty shines as well.
Jesus. I’ve done a lot of therapy, taken classes, read a lot of books, and don’t even get me started on how much KOTH I’ve watched. But you make me think. About my childhood, foster care, my current mothering, and also just the state of the world. I appreciate this so much.
Coming from someone who does the opposite of the victim mentality. It is hard during the interview and you ask what could you have done better and there is no feedback. You spend days worrying why you are not good enough. I know for me this is a huge issue.
This is the opposite extreme and is also not a good thing. You do need to acknowledge that sometimes things aren't your fault and/or accept that you're not perfect. I think, however, society in general has more of a problem with feeling like a victim to compensate for weaknesses than overblaming themselves.
@@ShadyDoorags - I feel like the opposite of the victim mentality mindset is imposter syndrome and I think it's becoming more common these days, at least in the younger generations. Imposter syndrome is the idea that you doubt your place in a community (whether it's work, school, or personal relationships) and you feel like you are playing a character in order to fit into this environment.
It also stems from this idea of not seeing yourself as good enough, as Jessica mentioned in her initial comment. Since you feel like you're not good enough for the role you're in, you kind of feel like an imposter playing a part. I definitely heard it a lot throughout university, especially among first generation college students, students of color, and women.
I also think the feeling stems from feeling out of place in an environment where there is little representation for people of your background. I think that's why it's talked about so much in academic or work settings where someone could be part of the minority and therefore might feel singled out because of it. You don't blame the others for being there, you more so question your role. I agree that going to this extreme can also be damaging, but I see it more and more these days.
@@ShadyDoorags But you didn't say that. You said that even when you are clearly not at fault that you need to find what you did wrong. If some asshole t-bones my car then clearly there is absolutely nothing I could have done about that. You made an absolute statement that made no goddamn sense. Just like Hank would and that is exactly why Mike Judge would laugh at you. He made this show to make fun of rednecks. Not to teach lessons from them. You are putting more thought into this than the creator. That shows stupidity.
@@Arri7979 usually it just means youre breaking ground. One of the pioneers. Maybe not the first or best but still one.

@@chromesthesia you're terrible
To be honest, I remember this episode resonated REAL hard with me for a couple of reasons:
Through out school I struggled with ALOT of shit, I had poor grades, I kept getting bullied and whenever I tried to express my frustrations or issues, it often came out in a way were I would either be told to "get thicker skin" or that I'm "over-reacting", not realize that I just couldn't express myself properly. I dealt with depression, it was hard for me to pay attention and all I wanted to do was draw. I didn't find out until I was in my 20s that the reason why I struggled so hard in school was because I am AUTISTIC. When I finally officially diagnosed...I felt relief, anger and sorrow. Relief because I realized that my issues with other people weren't entirely my fault; I just couldn't communicate with other people properly. Anger/Sorrow because I ALSO learned that when I was a child, I DID go a therapist at one point and during that time people it COULD'VE been caught earlier but they were only focusing on autism in BOYS, so I often got misdiagnosed and if I had gotten diagnosed properly, it probably would've saved me YEARS of issues.

People forget that it's not about wallowing in their complex or dispising those who have it but finding a meaningful and productive way to lessen one's own suffering without evoking more onto others including themselves.
I remember an episode where Bill's past was shown. He was jacked. Had a full head of hair and did pull ups from a tank. That's the only thing I remember from that specific epsiode.
Yeah his wife leaving broke the man in a big big way. The old Bill was basically an entirely different person.
It was shown in one episode when bill is
Announced pre-diabetes if all he does
Is work out and apply himself he could
Regain some of his high school football build.
Victim mentality has played role in my life in the past. But i was very depressed and suicidal and unaware of my PDD (autism adjacent condition) once I got diagnosed and recieved treatment and rehabilitation, i was able to accept some of the blame for the issues in my life. There are times when I feel the world is unfair, but only to the extent that "normal" people don't have my specific drawbacks. Some people in my life still say many of my past problems weren't my fault but the fault my circumstances but thats only 50% true. My weakness and inability allowed those circumstances to ruin my life. You need a healthy balance of self reflection that doesn't devolve into self hatred.
I feel like a lot of people don't see the difference between a systemic issue and blaming an individual. If your blaming the single individual for not getting the job/promotions that's probaly more defensive BS then anything. Suspecting a prejudice in the company is a lot more valid. The biggest issue I find with victim mentality is they want it to be personal. They want to be important even in there oppression. Saying its a systemic issues everyone faces steals that feeling of individual importance so they don't touch on those aspects. Also facing the reality that there are people who are just better at dealing with handicaps then you robs you of a clean "its not my fault" and that hurts.
I remember watching King of the Hill with my papa when I was young!!
It was this and the Simpsons I watched with my dad. I will always cherish that time.
The way dale casually waltzes in there without any question kinda... well it kinda makes it seen like he was a genius for a split second Lmao
That’s crazy when you say “King of the Hill” is “F is for Family” in the 90s when “F is for Family” is set in the 70s.
What's also weird is King of the Hill feel like such very 90s show, even though it ran from 97-2010. But it feels like it ran from 1990 until 2003 or something.
@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan they should do a reboot. So we can get hanks opinion on current events.
@@DatGuyTank45 That would be horrible
@@TheNewAgeGamer97 damn how so?!
@@DatGuyTank45 the last thing we need is more cartoon characters reacting to modern events. The simpsons, family guy, etc. Koth should stay in the late 90s or early 2000s if it does come back
King of the Hill may have it's ups and downs like all tv shows do, but that's what makes it interesting in my opinion!!!
The amount of people I have seen with victim mentality is around 99%, how many times I got out from a test and hearing people saying "the test was too hard, the teacher made the test extremely hard" and I was thinking "did we got the same test? I couldn't answer the question but I realize it was super easy and that I need to do something about it to be able to answer correctly next time" and that is how I went from struggling with some courses to pass everything with extra courses included (it is supposed to be like 5 per semester and I got like 7 per semester for like 2 years, one of those semester a teacher said that it shouldn't be more than 3 with one of those courses, and 2 of those 3 should be easy ones).
TLDR: victim mentality keeps you from your true potential, dont blame others, you can always do things different
And an extra is, you can do everything right and still fail, but you will always fail if you dont do things right.
yes. victim mentality is closely related to closed mind. saying a test is too hard is always an indicator of someone going down in life status compared to others.
2:16 Of course it was Dale who rubbed salt in the wound.
He was always my least favorite of the four; the first to pick on someone for doing something different, and a coward.
Dale went in guns drawn trying to save his friends in the Mad Dog episode. He's not a coward he's just really stupid
@@supersix-four9509 And Boomhauer is by far the smartest of the four but nobody understands what he's saying.
I thought I was the only one who disliked Dale.
Well I understand the hate for Dale, also remember how good of a husband and a father he is.
I live in Hawaii. I agree with his logic (the youtube creator). Being a victim is rewarded in western society now. So much so you are promoted to a higher status in society.
In other videos i watch they've called it failing upwards. Its why modern western entertainment is such a joke.
I like how you go straight to the point. I think this is something I would like to share to others.
Bill's character is probably the best one to teach kids persistence and perseverance through adversity.
This episode specifically the end was like a therapy session for me. Genuinely encouraged to make change in my life
I was raised in an abusive family, as the family scapegoat. I was raised to constantly blame myself for everything. The moment I realised I was a victim was the first time I was able to get a grip on the situation and remove myself from the abusive system.
I was immediately accused by all of the extended family of having a victim mentality and blaming everyone else for my own flaws. The same family who had not been any help at all when I was sexually, physically, emotionally and psychologically abused as a child. The same family who looked the other way when my father used my name to commit fraud, and told me I'd be the one in trouble if I told anyone.
Victim mentality is bad, but if you're actually the victim of something you need to realise it so you can take action to stop being a victim.
The message at the end about looking at yourself before blaming others or anything else should be taught religiously because I'm sure everyone has had that one friend(s) that would never apologize, but assume the world was against them. But NEVER changed a single thing about themselves and continued to wonder why their life wasn't changing.
Going through life having female friends only I've noticed, most of them have this problem where they put their pride over the right thing. My old best friend would never apologize no matter what, she would even resort to saying she was depressed or its this that and the third's fault.
It just was not a good time but sadly for best friends you always give them too many chances until the scar they've worked on can't be ignored no longer. And trust me most of the time no matter what the argument was about I apologized even if I was in the right, for things that offended her to show I did not intentionally do it and made sure to keep a mental note not to do that thing again.
Also relationships in general I feel like suffer because no one wants to step up and realize yes you aren't perfect but you can still work towards being better. Like its natural to side with your friends when they go through a breakup, and they will probably tell you how they did the world for them and that the other person is a villian. But honestly if you know how your friend(s) well, you know there is probably a good reason it didn't work out.
Seeing how people seeing themeselfs as a victim reminds me a lot of Superboy-prime' Chloe and Eddie in spider-man 3 they see themeselfs as the victim refused to admit they are in the wrong don't show any hope of moving on or taken any blame in their actions well some people like Earth two superman Sky in power rangers SPD and Peter parker pull back after realizing their own mistakes and try to do the right thing despite people or their own actions
Happy to see superboy prime here and others they aren't at fault for the way it happen, but they do nothing to help them selves.
@@alystrip1981 I know a lot of people say the writers ruin Chloe redemption in ladybug even know Thomas and the team made it clear that season 3 was meant to show Chloe redemption came with a price as giving the Bee miraculous made Chloe feel getting it would get people to love and respect her and even when told she cant be queen bee anymore you tell she wants to admit it over but cant showing how sometimes getting the respect and approvel will always come with a hard fall
It only stops character growth if you cant admit the mistakes you made were your own fault and you have to blame someone else for it that only makes you look like an asshole
I used to watch king of the Hill with my parents when I was a kid I'm 29 now
Definitely learned that concept in an interpersonal communication course. Don't be a victim , be a survivor!
I just wanted to say your argument and especially that segment towards the end really spoke to me and taught me a lesson. As someone who's experienced a tough and traumatic early upbringing, throughout my life I've tended to blame my dysfuncitonal family for alot of my problems. My toxic habits and vices, my social axiety and awkwardness, my lack of independence, etc.. and although I do feel they are to a great extent to blame, it doesn't excuse my toxic behavior or laziness.
I can't control what was done to me or what is wired into my head due to my poor parenting, and letting go of your past demons is always easier said than done. but I CAN control the person I turn out to be. I've finally accepted that i actively cause my own problems by not addressing them properly, and I'm the only one who is capable of changing my life and finding success, not anyone else. And I've done so because I learned to stop attributing others for my shortcomings.
Like you said, accepting that you are entirely a victim of circumstance is the same as submitting to the mentality that you can never change because you've convinced yourself that all of your problems are out of your control. But the truth is no matter how flawed or how damaged you are, everyone has the ability to transform themselves, but only you. you just have to find your will and your inner strength deep inside. I just wanted to say thank you so much, you have no idea how much you've helped me.
I love KoTH because of the "conservatively cynical" portrayal. Each person is flawed, but usually has a moment. Dale may be nuts, but he gets some things right.
Your views on victim mentality are 100% spot on. The worst part is these people use it time and time again to avoid the consequences of their actions and the more manipulative of them actually convince people they are right.
Going through a rough patch right now and I think I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Wow! There's been a ton of videos on King of The Hill lately, seems absence does make the heart grow fonder.
I got to see episodes of the show on foreign channels on my satellite dish and when I lived in the UK for a couple of years and the show is an underrated gem so it's a shame that this show doesn't air in Arabic countries like here in Egypt nor is it known to Arabic viewers like The Simpsons or Family Guy, which have aired a lot on Arabic networks like Fox's Arabic channel (that shows American shows with Arabic subtitles) even shows that don't get large or any airings on Arabic channels like South Park, Bob's Burgers or Rick and Morty still have a huge Arabic fanbase thanks to the internet while King of The Hill doesn't have that luxury, I'm possibly one of the few (if not the only) KOH fan in the entire Arabic region and that's a shame because this show is not only good but unlike Simpsons or Family Guy had a longer consistent quality and didn't drop to the lows of both of FOX's cashcows fell to and deserves more love.
This show entertained me when it came out, and still entertains me on rewatching; for completely different reasons.
Love the analysis, hope to see more.
I love the episode when Peggy feeds Hank testosterone, it's like real life trt
Great first video on one of my all time favorite shows. Can't wait for the next!
Excellent job dude. 👏 I freaking love King of the hill, and your breakdowns of the episodes.
Keep all the great content coming dude 👌
This was totally my favorite episode in KotH. Great analysis. Man KotH is so timeless, for the most part.
You know, when I start watching this, I felt really shitty. But by the time I got to the end, I felt better. This is some excellent social commentary. Valuable ideas. Clearly expressed. Keep up the good work my friend.
I just found your channel via a random recommendation for the newer video about John Redcorn; went back to watch this right after.
I have to say that I love your style. The way that you analyse the characters with such depth is very entertaining and intellectually engaging; I'm sure that I'll have this one on my mind for a good portion of the night. Your comedic timing is also right on point, making it all the more fun to watch.
Instant subscription from me. I'll be looking for more of your KOTH videos for sure. Keep up the great work.
I love your analysis on the KoTH episodes, helps enjoy/understand the series even more!
Great analysis of a much-needed lesson. Subbed. :)
"So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye" was a song we used to sing in my elementary school.
Ah, I see you are an individual of culture as well.
@@ShadyDoorags Not going to name any names. This IS the internet. But with any luck... FGLS?
Been meaning to watch this for awhile I noticed a bunch of King of the Hill videos of yours popping up. I love that show. This video made me a subscriber, look forward to watching the rest!
I loved your commentary. Very entertaining. Well edited. Your overall point on victim mentality hit very close to home and I’m thankful for coming upon this. Right place. Right time. Thank you.
I totally agree Peggy gets more hate than she deserves. She can be obnoxious and her ego is incredibly overinflated, but unlike a majority of the cast, she usually does really try to be a good person 95% of the time. Episodes like her refusing to pass the Hawaiian football guy just based on his athletic performance or her trying to tell Dale about Nancy's affair when no one else wanted to show she really does have a stronger moral compass than most, and that just happens to come off as annoying sometimes
I think the B Stories are just additions to the realism of KOTH as a whole. The family is a unit as a whole but they also have their own pursuits and agendas as individuals. Yeah and they may not always tie in together - but not everything I do ties into what my friends or family are doing, either. Plus they add a bit of filler and, like you said, a little relief from the main plot. :)
P.S. I've always loved Bill. We all know a Bill and the Bills in our lives are some of our most loyal allies. 💖 As annoying as they can be, lol ☺️
Shady Doorags is an amazing channel! This man is hilarious and has a lot of deep stuff to tell us about our favorite shows. So happy RUclips recommended this channel to me!
I know this sounds weird, but you really helped opening up my mind on how I'm currently dealing with my problems in life and how I perceive those problems. I've always looked at my problems like my addiction to alcohol and gaming, lack of sleep, and other stuff I perceived as being unfixable whether i blamed it on everyone in my family drinking/smoking and me distancing myself from everyone, because i always saw myself as an idiot for not being able to communicate well. I have been pretty much keeping myself from evolving as a person, but I never understand till now how to look at myself and properly assess my life. I'm now searching how I can get over this and better myself and might try finding a therapist who can possible assist me on my way to becoming better for myself and my loved ones. Despite me never having met you, I personally want to thank you, man. Never thought I'd be opening my eyes, because of a King of the Hill episode review. I'm looking forward to improving my overall quality of personality and will be doing my best, so I can get over this hurtle in my life and be a better man. Thanks Shady. You're a true boss and I love your reviews.
"Don't worry, nobody dies in this episode. They just really big boo-boos."

I could listen to this guy break down every episode of king of the hill, well done
Good sir, this is the first of your videos I have seen. Due to the amazingness of this video I had to subscribe. Your examination of the subject and the connections you made to real life issues was masterful. Please keep up the awesome.
I'm going to have to disagree with the whole always look at yourself for all your problems thing.
A lot of things are in fact out of your control and knowing that and accepting that is important. If your house gets broken into that's not your fault. If your car get hit in the parking lot, that's not your fault. If someone is assaulted and raped that's not there fault. The list could be a million miles long but to summarize. Yes there are some things you can control but most of life you just can't especially now.
Also bill is depressed and needs treatment which is addressed later in the show. He ends up getting better with professional help.
Those problems you listed are all surmountable. Home defence by means of a gun or metal bat would solve some.
A dashboard camera would solve traffic disputes.
Every obstacle has a solution, preparation and ingenuity are the answers.
@@MaximilianonMars no it doesn't. You can't control everything and you can't prevent everything either. Shit happens and there is nothing you can do to stop it. One day you will die and there is nothing you can do about it. Bad things happen which you can't foresee and blaming yourself for not knowing something would happen will only make it worse. Also we shouldn't blame victims including the victim blaming themselves.
@@alexanders.c3210 let's see where that mindset leaves you. Let's see where maximum personal responsibility leads me. We make our own choices, I choose to have the maximum choice left to me by fate, I am no one's victim and will crush the obstacles that stand in my way. Making good progress so far.
@Amelia F there is nothing wrong with being sad and like I said bill is depressed and when your depressed you can't think on the good side which is why he gets better after getting help. Depression effects how you think and act and you can't logic your way out of it.
Sometimes you can't say I won't do that again because there might not be a next time or you might have the choice to avoid it again and sometimes your best isn't good enough and never will be and that's ok. Failure happens and I think it's better to just move forward then to balm yourself. It's ok to act like a victim sometimes and yes some people take it too far but not everyone does and we shouldn't assume that either.
@@MaximilianonMars Now, that depends on two things to be valid. 1:you wake up for the break-in. 2:You are allowed to have a gun.
You summed up the overarching moral of Paranoia Agent.
@GoodKid BadHabits P.A. owned the bones. One of the best animes ever.
@@TheMightyPika I watched that show once back in the day. Never watched it again, but I remember it being a cut above most anime
this is the second video of yours ive watched, and i just wanted to appreciate the great message there at the end.
A very wise and intriguing interview. I actually learned something, good job👍🙂
“The most important part of the episode” *insert ads* ah yes the commercial break
from my grandfather now passed: "A man makes his own way in life, in control of his destiny. a boy, snivels and whines at their percieved lack of ability, that is what makes a man, self determination."
very nice video i think this is one of the few episodes i have some recollection of or maybe just seeing some of the scenes jump started some of my vague memories of it
Wow, I found one of your vids by accident and have been binging them all day! I love your insights, you have a whole lot more common sense than most other RUclipsrs I've seen
I love the episodes with the Louisiana Dauterives. After those i forgave Bill a lot, i wished he'd cook more often, and found many reasons why he might have a mommy fetish.
