King of the Ant Hill - King of the Hill S01E11
Hank’s pride and joy—his lawn—meets its toughest challenge yet. Between Khan’s smug digs, Dale’s sabotage, and Bobby’s strange new fascination with fire ants, “King of the Ant Hill” turns a simple yard into a battlefield.
In this episode, we dig into:
- Dale’s self-worth being tied to his exterminator gig—and how far he’ll go when Hank undercuts him
- Bobby’s ant “mind control” subplot (and whether it’s magic or just Bobby being Bobby)
- Peggy’s Cinco de Mayo Spanish flubs and the return of Buckley
- Deleted scenes with Hank’s shoes/socks in the muck
- The Silence of the Lambs spoof in Dale’s basement and whether it’s his darkest moment yet
- Why Bill, Boomhauer, and even Khan piling on Hank feels so harsh
- Dale’s redemption-by-sacrifice when he saves Bobby from the ants
It’s a gross one—sugar foam, Hank’s bare feet, ants everywhere—but also a standout for how much it develops Dale, Peggy, Bobby, and even Hank’s relationship to his lawn.
