      When the reboot was announced I kept seeing people saying Dale would be a Q Anon guy. Fuck no. He'd say "have you fellas heard of these Quew-A(hard a)-non people..amateurs." and that'd be the only mention. King of the Hill isn't my favorite show but I've found through making up fake episodes at work as a bit, I really really get the voice of and could totally handle writing for it. I even have outlines, I genuinely think I crushed the nearly impossible 2016 election one where I have Hank vote for Jill Stein.

    I love it that these memes articulate the diction of the text so accurately that it forces you to read it in the character's voice.

          Yeah, I was sad to hear about that. I kinda hope he killed any possibility of a reboot. KOTH is one of my favorite shows and I really am not excited for any kind of reboot.

            I think Silicon Valley is more ripe for a revisit considering how much more deranged that culture has gotten in such a short amount of time.

              That would be pretty cool! I really enjoyed that show. I think they ended it by getting a huge government contract though visible-disgust

                I forget the specifics but the compression program they made got so good through a neural net that it would be able to bypass all encryption. They destroyed it and faked a botched launch that would have made them rich(er) instead of just selling it to the CIA so critical support.

          Mike Judge and Pamela Adlon mentioned in interviews that Johnny Hardwick had recorded a few episodes before he died, so hopefully there will be some Dale in the revival.

            This is great news! Normally not a fan of posthumous stuff, but Johnny Hardwick had an entire YouTube channel pretty dedicated to doing things as Dale Gribble. You can tell he really loved the character and wanted Dale to get his time on screen again.

            Dale is the best representation of Schizophrenia I've ever seen in anything. I doubt it was intentional, but that's probably why it works so well. Dale's paranoia is a huge part of his character, but is well defined outside of his mental illness
