What show had the most uncomfortable and infuriating "MC is unfairly shamed by the peanut gallery" scenes and why was it KotH?

That's just what living in suburban America is like, especially Texas.
That's not even the most infurating one -from king of the hill.- you're forgetting about the time everyone thought Hank was racist because of his dog, and trusted an online test over his word.
But the one that always gets me is Gravity Falls when they shit on dipper for accepting phone numbers from more than one stranger at a time. obviously instant monogamy is the only acceptable way to flirt!
ehh it's more of a midwestern thing. earlier KotH wouldn't have done that.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. The cops in Hank's bully not only physically threaten him over a petty neighbor dispute but take it a step further in humiliating him by having him go and retrieve the bike when Caleb or his parents could have gotten it themselves. The onlookers at the vet and their holier than thou glaring at Hank was sickening but it wasn't the worst treatment Hank's ever gotten and his coworkers didn't come across as harsh as they're usually pretty chill people in general with the exception of Donna in that Facebook episode.
I wanna frick Donna's big fat butt and slap her big fat breasts around
Total slampig
No the worst one is when he got fricking RAPED by a dolphin this fricking show just wanted to destroy the American father image by making hank more and more of a fricking cuck and I fricking hate it so god damn much.

>"Jon Vitti Presents: Return to La Grunta" is the 51st episode of King of the Hill. It was first aired on February 23, 1999.
>Hank convinces her to apply for the drink girl position at the hotel. Luanne lands the job, and soon discovers that lascivious, drunken golfers tip young females rather generously. Luanne is so pleased with her new job that she determines to buy her uncle a thank-you gift...That evening, Luanne presents Hanks with a large, gift-wrapped box. Inside is a card for Dolphin Encounter, which allows the recipient to swim in the hotel pool with a live dolphin...Supervised by a trainer, Hank climbs into the swimming pool occupied by the dolphin Duke. At first, Hank enjoys his encounter with the playful Duke. He strokes Duke's stomach, which blushes pink. Shortly thereafter, Duke attacks Hank, and then drags him underwater.
Hank is pulled from the pool. The hotel director explains that Hank's display of affection aroused Duke and the marine creature attempted to become physically intimate with him.
Is this worse than Homer Simpson getting raped by a panda?
Have you not watched the fricking show?!
Mike Judge is a homosexual who deserves to be skinned alive just like the homosexuals who made midsummer
The gravity falls thing is weird because in the real world it's not even that big of a deal. It jarring to see because you know someone did to well I dunno vent or something. It's weird.
Modern show staff think venting their spleen on screen is the most clever possible thing they can do.
Movies and comics too. It's all trauma dumps or using fictional characters as a punching bag. And it's never subtle either.
>in the real world
i mean, not if you're famous or rich or live in california. then any attention you give a woman will ruin your life.
Well dipper isn't rich, famous, and the show takes place in oregon I'm pretty sure and as someone who grew up there it's fine. At least it was when the show was airing.
yes, but who WRITES it
that one pissed me off too, and they spun it as a metaphor for guys flirting with golf course drink girls. like this guy is such a horrible man for giving luanne attention, at a job she literally got because she's hot. yeah that's totally the same as rape.
most things on this show do.
They were trying to compare it to adult womanizers who lie and sleep with multiple women.
But it was a 12 year old boy trying to gain confidence talking to girls his age during a road trip.
Yeah but even then how is it the womanizers fault if women have sex on the first date? See this is the issue with people they never take accountability for their stupidity.
Understanding that women always gain from claiming victimhood will enable you to understand women.
Everyone says the episode feels like a S1 episode dropped at the end of S2, but it really feels more like the halfway point of a cut Dipper/Candy subplot.
>different skins and even hair colours
Well he definitely isn't racist.
Emma Sue should be drawn without the second white shirt under the pink one.
>grovels pathetically
>apology is rejected
Why did they think it was a good idea to make the main character a punching bag?
> you're forgetting about the time everyone thought Hank was racist because of his dog,
that happened IRL
(OP)
I hate Tilly Hill. I hate the episode where she has sex on Hank's kitchen table when he's home, and then chastises him for being a prude, and then he just has to learn to get over it like she didn't disrespect himself, his wife, and son.
You win.
This one is close.
The point isn't to depict the real world. The point is to show kids how they believe the world should work.
Based
damn
Remember that one time Hank tried to use a computer for something beyond work documents, and enjoy playing a game, only for Peggy to emasculate him and say she never wanted to marry a Gamer?
Considering everyone including the guy who made the show hates Peggy with a burning fury, I'd say anything that makes her upset is a good thing.
>the creator hates Peggy
My Black person you fricking created her you dumb b***h
wasn't it because he was ignoring Bobby to instead play video games?
Pretty much any episode where Bill is in a position of power.
"Regular guy gets degraded and humiliated just trying to live their daily lives by the shitty system we live in" is kind of Mike Judge's whole thing.
A lot of KotH's humor comes from Hank's rigid, old-school ideas of the world inherited from Cotton grinding against the realities of modern life.
That Christmas one was a b***h and stupid
>Neighborhood shame Hank for not letting a fricking stranger invade his home to die in it
>Hank points out how its crazy and how would they handle it if they were in his shoes?
>Everyone still gives him shit
>"Okay fine."
>Let's her in during party
>Oh now suddenly everyone in attendance is skeeved out by it
It was mocking NIMBY attitudes. People were shaming Hank to try and sound virtuous, but as soon as THEY had to deal with it it became a problem. It's better than people give it credit for.
hank was in the right for both ms wakefield + dusty old bones kid
90% of catdog is all about the duo catching shit for doing literally nothing but existing. Especially cat.
>You can't fire this man, he's an addict. It's a disability
i dont remember anyone shaming Hank in that one
well except peggy, who kept rubbing in his face that had he just hired Maria Montalvo (whom he rejected FOR Peggy's sake in his mind) this never would have happened.
Anything with Peggy in general is making me wanna end her
get thicker skin man b***h isn't even that bad
Hank is grown ass man who stole a kid's bike instead of just telling the parents he didn't want their snot nosed little kid in his yard
>The porn is to show kids how they believe the world should work.
>The porn
huh?
That happened a lot in KotH, the person who always pissed me off was Nancy. Like how the frick do you judge someone else’s moral character when you’re having an affair for over a decade?
The flood episode, everyone was an butthole in that but frick that homosexual with the mustache in particular.
>Uncomfortable
>Cartoon
Why are you homosexuals like this?
Motherfricker the episodes are painful to watch. It’s just the main character going through bullshit for no reason and getting shamed by people that have either done worse or don’t know the situation.
Stop being a pussy.
Stop defending shitty writing
