You know, considering Khan's personality, I wouldn't be surprised if he literally made a list of everything that Hank owns and tries to buy a better version of it.
@@boltthunder2061He bought that SUV that was too big to fit into his garage only to have it be run over by Dale when they were taking back the tank Bill drunkenly stole at the end of the episode. I know an SUV isn’t a truck, but Kahn would see an SUV as being superior to a Truck, thus it would be a better version of Hank’s vehicle in his eyes.
@@roneherushin4638 I believe he stated in one episode that one of the few times he took a day off of work was the day Bobby was born and picked up a shift to make up for it.
@roneherushin4638 I have a different mindset. I know those guys would be sinking if I took all my days off at once. But now that we got the staff, it'd probably just be my department sinking
@@ram89572 The episode where Peggy buys a book store mentions that it would be $1500 a month to operate. Hank is hesitant, but he doesn't outright say he can't afford it. So I'm guessing he makes pretty decent money. Strickland Propane is a successful business and Hank is paid what he's worth. So 50k seems about right for the time and the area.
After Bobby heard about how some rich people are too cheap to even pay for proper medical care for their loved ones, I feel like this line was a nice realization for him. Not only does he see that he was wrong to worry about his parents neglecting him, but he sees that they're making sacrifices in their limited budget solely for his benefit.
He tunnel visioned on how much his dad would make that he didn’t pay attention to how much he would have to spend on necessities, he’s a good kid but still just a kid.
To be fair he only heard Hank say he made 1K that month, so that’s all he had to go off of. If Bobby was there while Hank and Peggy were talking about the expenses, Bobby might have taken that into consideration
At the time, this show was getting kind of irritatingly into "KIDS THESE DAYS am I right?" territory, exaggerating Bobby into a straw teen when he used to be a lot more endearingly dimwitted but weirdly competent underneath.. but man, the worse things get, the more these episodes are freaking important.
I am glad you brought up stealing is wrong. I got robbed 2 years ago by some teenagers. The hit me on the side of the head and took my laptop. When caught they said, they didn’t see what was wrong because I looked loaded. When I explained that I wasn’t even close, they just assumed I must be lying due to me having a nice laptop and car. I worked 3 jobs to get those things and saved. It was so hurtful that they thought it was okay to steal because I had something better than what they had. If I was rich or not, its not okay to steal. I bought the item with my work and money.
a friend of mine had that happen to him a while back. ex girlfriend had her brother/friends rob the dude, tied him up and took pretty much everything because of a similar reason. only reason he had the stuff he had was because he worked something like 80-90 hours a week at the time. granted, he outright admitted later that he had poor choice in women at the time and uses the event as self deprecating humor even like 10 later, but its still fucked and caused him to be much more withdrawn with his spending
Yeah, same. My house got broken into by a drug addict and robbed and he thought it was fine because I had nice stuff. I worked two jobs and saved for years to get that nice stuff. I don't see the point in buying cheap stuff that will break at some point so I save for months or years(I saved for nearly three years to get my current computer and saved for over a year to get my TV)to get something of higher quality that will last and I can repair if it breaks down but people assume I have a lot of money just because I manage what money I have well and don't throw it away. Stealing is always wrong and it always hurts someone.
It's stories like these that scare me allot. So sorry for your unfortunate events. It just reminded me of all the things that I worked my **ass** off to get and I triple lock every door and have securities aimed at every door and window possible out of fear o_o;
During Bobby's rich life fantasy you can see that he wasn't all that greedy because what he really wanted was to spend time with Hank. The boy ain't right but he's a pretty good son.
@@bigamericanhotdog why are there always people who say "it's a cartoon" under comments like these? as if people don't already know that... what, are you reminding yourself?
@@B0BBYJ4CK why is there always some dumbass boomer wringing their hands in the comments about “today’s generation” being reprehensible trash? what, are they reminding themselves they’re responsible for that shit?
On Robin Hood: There's also the fact that he literally was stealing the money collected by the taxmen, and giving it back to the PEOPLE PAYING THE TAXES. He wasn't just robbing the nobility and dumping it all in the lap of some random bum. It was about giving the people back what they had rightfully earned, and was unjustly stolen from them.
I think more so it’s about the fact that the people were starving, and the mere act of hoarding wealth was literally murdering the peasants. Just because they were poor peasants, doesn’t mean they deserve to die.
The part everyone misses on this story is that the taxes were *illegal*. The Sheriff didn't have the right to levy new taxes, especially at the insane rates he was, so Robin did the only thing available to him and stole it back.
Kinda like the working class taking back what is rightfully ours through usage, care, and daily work from the likes of thieves like landlords, bosses, and billionaire CEOs Seems weird to look at Robinhood and only take away "wow taxes sure do suck. Nothing wrong with tax evasion. Just with poor people daring to try to afford medical care or food when they should just shut up and die when they're no longer economically useful" And really perhaps the grossest interpretation I've ever even seen
@@hawkticus_history_corner in most versions it wasn't just the Sheriff of Nottingham, it was the king of England (usually King John) himself levying the taxes, with the Sheriff enforcing them in Nottingham. So it wasn't just a small, isolated area with political corruption, all of England was being overtaxed or unfairly suppressed.
For me, Bobby taking his punishment instead of complaining about it is further evidence that he's a good kid. Sure he does something bad here and there, but when he's punished for it, he knows he deserved it and would rather pay off his debt than try to fight it. Hank and Peggy are raising him right.
This is probably one of the better aged episodes for kids and adults to see with Bobby seeing what he thought Hank made to what they actually make and give him a reality check.
@@andrewdurinick9239 I'd say 99 percent of things are that. Sometimes you can find one good moment in a show if they try for a second. Though most of the time the message is super echo chamber
"Bobby, be thankful he's not black" had me rolling. My dad would have definitely beat my ass if I did what Bobby did, because we were legit fucking poor.
During the 2020 riots, people happily torched and destroyed businesses because "They have insurance." 1. Them having insurance doesn't mean they should have to deal with you destroying their livelihood because you're mad about something they didn't cause and you aren't even connected to. 2. Insurance doesn't cover riots.
Insurance can cover riots, as long as you get that specific coverage. However, even in that situation, they have a very high deductible. Usually in the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, but more is expected for a more profitable or larger location.
@@IronyNinjaso you destroy everything including black owned businesses? All this has done is set you and your political group backwards. frankly, TH-cam should ban your account for making such threats
Is it weird that I wanna see him do it now? I can see him doing it with some rubber or leather belts, springs and special rotators and more to make it as good as a real leg with no nerves.
As old as King Of The Hill is, it still holds up nicely and is a great show to throw on when in need of a laugh. Definitely beats some of the newer shows, that’s for damn sure.
King of the Hill isn't rad, or groundbreaking lol for an classic 90's cartoon. But it's something to watch if you're bored or just want to watch something settle, and welcoming.
I genuinely don't understand why shows being old is a problem to someone people. And KOTH was made in the 90's! People are making it sound like it's Little House on the Prairie.
This episode frustrates me because Hank wouldn't just lay it out for Bobby at the start. I grew up poor, and my family made us understand the bills come first, then groceries, then whatever else. I had to be painfully aware of my family's budget as a teenager, a time when you want everything your classmates have and no money to get it!😄😄
It was so depressing growing up, becoming an adult, and realizing my parents were absolutely right not to buy me fruit snacks on the reg. they are just insanely expensive. Not that I doubted them THAT hard, but I was just hoping they were wrong.
For me it was the opposite. My parents always told me we were poor. For me, it was normal for your parents to be poor, so I never, ever asked for money for anything. They were only poor until I was 11, then they were actually pretty rich. They're not poor, they have tons of money. My brother got to experience their wealth, and I didn't. It just burns me because they could have paid for my college, but instead they made me pay for it myself while they bought a farm and a vacation home. That's actually a really hard thing to live with.
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 people dont talk about miser problems since they aren't as common anymore, but they are still a thing. you cant take it with you after all, gotta appreciate and use it now.
I will say I understand Hank, as coming from an ex-middle class family (technically lower class as the middle class is all but dead) around the time of the housing crisis my parents shut up entirely about anything about our finances because they wanted me to focus on being a kid rather than worrying about money like they were. It's completely reasonable he probably felt the same way, let grown-ups be grown-ups and kids should be kids.
The biggest issue in this episode, to me, is that Hank is one of those people who buy into the idea that you should never talk about how much you make. While he is right that it's really nobody's business but yours and the tax man's, the entire conflict of the episode would have been avoided if he simply sat Bobby down and explained how their finances work.
I'm not entirely sure. Shady even pointed out that almost immediately after eavesdropping on Hank and thinking that Hank said he made $1,000 a day his first move was to go straight to his friend Joseph and start talking and bragging about it and then go to Connie as well which got back to the parents and Hanks friends. Bobby and Peggy both seem to have over sharing problems.
The correct move would have been to explain, "Bobby, we're just an average working middle class Arlen, Texas family. We make as much as everybody else does. We're not exactly wealthy, but neither are we poor. We do okay for ourselves, because we budget carefully and choose our expenditures."
Robin Hood is a folkloric noble who had his lands taken when he was assumed dead during the Crusades, his ailing father dying in the interim. He was a generous gentle figure who loved his subjects and just wanted to protect and care for them. Theft was the ideal way to do it, as he possessed no other logical option since all others were shut off. Bobby is just a thief with no excuse save ignorance.
@@PrincessNinja007 His story ended with a nun bleeding him too much because her brother was the disgraced sheriff. She knew she was doing it out of hate for him. Robin's father died due to a monk and nun conspiring against him due to the Locksley's evidently owning some of their land, promised them in a charter. They just let him languish and die.
In most versions of Robin Hood, he doesn't steal from "the rich" at all. He steals from Prince John (aka the Government) pretty much exclusively. More specifically he steals the tax money taken from the people and returns it to them. This notion that Robin Hood is somehow an allegory for Socialism or whatever is ridiculous and stupid every single time some idiot tries to make that claim.
I've heard one of the stories about Robin Hood in which the King disguised himself as a commoner in order to see what he was about. Robin Hood and his band of thieves ambushed him, robbed him and took him back to their camp where they had a little archery contest. One man, I think it was Little John aimed at the target, pulled back on the bow and fired. Missing the target. Robin went up to him and smacked him on the back of the head. Next of Robin's men went up, aimed at the target, pulled back on the bow and fired. Missing the target. Robin went up to him and smacked him on the back of the head. The King then went up, aimed at the target, pulled back on the bow and fired. Missing the target. Robin went up to him and smacked him on the back of the head. Then Robin himself went forth, with his mighty bow he aimed, pulled back and fired. Missing the target. The King, wondering how to resolve this situation, went up to Robin and smacked him on the back of the head. Everyone, including Robin Hood and the King himself, were equals.
Surprised you didn’t talk about how John Redcorn had a cougar gal pal who called him “Johnny.” I think it’s like one of the few times somebody doesn’t call him by his full name or Mr. Redcorn.
An excellent perspective that I didn't expect! The episode did show how Bobby's view of money Bobby has while also showing Hank's teaching as lacking but poignant, which then led to the plot going the way it did. It was also excellent for Hank to realize how different his son is compared to any spoiled brat, too.
This episode helps me realize that you don't have to be so recluse with every dollar you make. The feeling is a "It's ok to enjoy the fruits of your labor" experience. Some people may disagree with what you spend your fun money on but that's not their decision to make. Don't blow your paycheck and avoid debt by all means, but do not rob yourself of living. So long as every paycheck you make there's a piece to keep, you won't go bust. Live well people.
Hank showed an unexpected amount of patience. This is the kind of thing that would make Hank nuts with rage. My father would have probably hit me so damn hard I might get knocked out and die.
I feel like he was more confused than anything. If the boah was being obstinate, he'd lose it.. but he was acting like he felt what he was doing was okay, and Hank had no freaking idea why until the miscommunication got sorted out. He was too blindsided by that to even think of the "hang on, even if everything you thought *were* true, that would still be wrong." and in fairness, it is normal in a lot of upperclass households for the kids to just take a little here and there for what they want without asking. usually they'd have their own credit cards for that, with a limit representing how much they're budgeted for a month.
Well it's King Of The Hill and TV so violence like that is kind of unacceptable. I have now amassed a coin collection that is " worthy of murder ". Those who were born into poverty but amassed a good amount of value will NOT forgive theft and will kill someone over such theft out of their build ups. Rich assholes will just get bail outs but there is no bail out for people like us...
@@marcuswoods2006 (white here) One of the few times my dad ever raised a hand to us boys after we were 9/10 was when my brother dumped a ton of money on microtransaction when we were 13. I heard that slap across the house.
Of the whole series, the joke that made me laugh the hardest was "Bobby, time to wrap pennies. Dang it, who threw out this mayonnaise jar? I use them to store extra screws.". 🤣
To be fair, expiration/sell-by dates are not "this immediately becomes unsafe to eat after this date". It's closer to "someone who uses this product at a reasonable rate should be able to buy this by the listed date and go through it before it goes bad." Obviously you want to check outdated food before you eat it regardless, but a lot of things are still good for at least a few days past the expiration date.
"Stealing isn't wrong because the owner needs whatever you're taking, stealing is wrong because it's NOT YOURS TO TAKE." You'd think this is morality 101, you know? But no. It's not. The word "man-children" comes to mind. It's a world full of Bobby Hills.
@@Maggles69 Even if the gains are ill-gotten, that does not morally enable anyone to take it. The justice system, in theory, is supposed to expropriate those ill-gotten gains appropriately. Thieves are neither elected nor appointed to reclaim stolen property.
I like how this episode shows that, even though Bobby did a bad thing, he's still, at his core, a good kid. While Hank still needed to discipline him, he saw how good Bobby was when he encountered that little jerk with the divorced parents.
I love the episode where Bobby thinks Hank is rich! although i don't really condone that Bobby stole from his own father by using that credit card. but at least the episode itself kinda teaches the importants of the value of money, well to a certain extent anyway.
this episode always angered me so much because my parents acted EXACTLY the same way as hank here. they would not tell me ANYTHING about money, not even how much the bills were, and always gave the excuse "you would just blab to your friends how much we make" even though i had never given them any reason to think that. they literally acted like the only reason i wanted to know was so i could tell everyone. like what even. obviously bobby jumped to conclusions and was in the wrong here, but boy did i have zero sympathy for hank
I think that’s what annoys me about this episode too. I understand not wanting strangers to know about your finances but your own family too? Like how do you expect to teach your kids the value of money if they don’t even have a reference? I feel lucky that my dad was transparent when it came to our finances as a kid and even now I still go to him to compare our bills to see if I’m paying to much or not.
Man my condolences if I ever did that I'd be given a reasonable punishment like being forced to hold two books one in each hand outstretched since even my short tempered father has never let he's anger control him annove to strike he's children he was always able to hold the middle ground between terrifying and fun unlike he's own father who beat my father ironically unsuccessfully since my father had i high pain tolerance and eventually by he's teens could lift he's own father with ease so threats of violence stopped working and now they don't speak to each other ironically not for any of the reasons above but because he's father tried to scam him.
Yeah i had a pretty abusive family too. It sucks how normalized that shit is. Way more than it is to cut contact with toxic or abusive parents. (Seriously people will really treat you like a monster for cutting contact with a mother who makes you physically sick to be around or think too much about due to tons of abuse she doesn't really regret at all. Or at least feel it's appropriate to ask probing personal questions and lay on guilt trips to people they know don't talk to their parents but might not know why. And then they'll straight up have sympathy for the same parent actually beating their child to death, especially if the child is not white or neurotypical/non disabled. The more society as a whole disregards the demographic of the child the more the death will be ignored or ruled accident, SIDS, or even suicide. Cops and press alike along with the general public that really doesn't like questioning "grieving" parents. It's absolutely disgusting. To the point where there can be no question and the public knows the parent did it, "but it's just sooooo hard to raise a child like THAT. Come on we cant judge uwu". Sickening. [Sorry I grew up in a town with very low official crime numbers but pretty high child mortality and physical abuse rate. I've had multiple coworkers shake 3 babies to death before any Jail time or official record "because accidents happen ", with their girl/boy friends explaining the situation once they're not at work or when they're still upset because of the earlier deaths etc. I've had friends disappear as a child myself. I've almost died many times myself via choking or prone restraint. I've had parents break bones and cause permanent throat damage, only for it to swept under the rug as "parents have a right to discipline however they see fit. If you try to report them again you'll be arrested you troublesome brat" before even turning 18 etc) All this is especially way too common in the south. Fuck this culture so hard. Denormalize abusing children. Normalize estrangement from abusive family. Particularly in Latino and black families. This shit is way too widespread and so harmful to so many people and throughout the generations. It needs to end. And martyrdom or your own trauma is not an excuse for treating your children like garbage or even risking their lives because you can't be bothered to do the work to unpack your own trauma, triggers, and emotional responses. . It just ain't. I don't care how hard you have it. There's no excuse. No child deserves to grow up in fear of their own parents of all things. Especially not kids that can't generally feel safe in public either.
This episode is Peggy's genes on display front and center. Bobby usually has a pretty good moral compass because of Hank's influence, but Peggy's stubborn entitlement and tendency to resent people can definitely show up in Bobby once in a while. When he gets the wrong idea in his head he'll stick to it like his life depends on it. That makes episodes where he does make good decisions really stand out. It warms my heart to see Bobby is more thoughtful and self-aware than his mom.
Yeah as polar opposite as they are I've always gotten the sense that Bobby always looks up too Hank and took his teaching's too heart far more than he did with Hank's wife
11:10 I know exactly what you are referencing there and mad respect for calling that out. It doesn't matter how much money someone has, if they have insurance or not, you do not steal from someone else. Period.
I think it's important when parents try to teach their kids about money it's important to talk openly and honestly and explain the importance of it all. Probably not what most kids will sit and listen to but I still think it can be done.
While this series had some hilariously out-there concepts (Dale being a conspiracy nut but _seemingly_ missing his wife’s infidelity and his son’s obvious paternity for example), episodes like this are so relatable because we’ve all been there, we all had funny ideas about money and what things cost, this episode did an _okay_ job of teaching the lesson and I applaud King of the Hill for doing it. Thanks for the new vid Shady, stay cool and go hug your animal friends 💙🐱💙 P.S Shady would you consider covering “Aisle 8A”? It’s one of the episodes I remember vividly from my childhood, how uncomfortable Hank was but he still endeavoured to help Khanny (also a little scene of Khanny crying to a whale documentary)? Or “Won’t You Primai Neighbour”: one of the more out-there episodes but with a pretty great moment between Bobby and Khanny (and a funny little moment with Peggy and a Buddhist)?
4:41 I actually recall an episode where Hank states the last time he took a day off was when Bobby was born, so around 11 years prior to the series. He's that much obsessed with work, he really doesn't like missing it. Also, i just discovered this channel and I'm really digging these videos on one of my childhood shows!
I really do enjoy this episode and this is a great review of it. I do have one comment on Bobby stealing Hank's card, though. You're 100% right that "it's not theft because they're rich" is BS. But in this circumstance, I can kinda understand Bobby's mentality. He knows his parents give him money, but he thinks they are hoarding much more. Kids understand that parents don't just give money to other people's kids. In his mind, he's entitled to some of the "family's" fortune. Now, he's still wrong. But it's not that Bobby is "stealing from a rich guy so it's okay"; it's that he's taking what he thinks he's entitled to anyway (again, wrong, but understandable, even forgivable from a kid's logic).
Tend to agree. It's still wrong but for a kid like Bobby it's more stupid-wrong than criminal wrong. I believe Bobby would NEVER take Kahn's credit card. Or Mr. Strickland's, or a random rich person's... unless the writers needed him to for a joke. Let's not pretend these are real people. I just agree I don't think the logic is "he's rich so I can steal from him" The logic is "our family is loaded and dad is not sharing with the family even though it would cost him nothing." Bobby is also developmentally acting like an 8 year old in this episode. So in cartoon logic you have to think of this as an 8 year old doing it. That matters. If Bobby were acting like a normal 13 year old, I'd be madder. But the kid clearly is not acting his age for this plot. I wish he'd stolen Hank's card to buy Hank something though. Like a new lawnmower. Same lesson but the theft would at least come from a good place.
For anyone wondering why Hank is so shocked by Bobby asking how much Hank makes, it's because Hank is of a generation where just asking that is considered incredibly rude. It is right up there with asking an older woman her age. That is information that they consider deeply private and potentially very embarrassing that you have no business asking and no legitimate need to know it. That attitude is changing for various reasons, but for a very long time that was the overall attitude.
I love the quick Robin Hood breakdown. Those who point to Robin Hood as justification to steal from those who have more has obviously never seen, or read the tale, and has been told a very bad interpretation of the story from evil people.
Schools nowadays have stories of Robin Hood that make him out to be stealing from only the rich. No doubt it's intentional, they're trying to indoctrinate kids to have a mindset geared towards socialism.
Says the person who acts like Disney and the crown are the authority on the folk hero just because they made him properly liberal enough for your tastes
@@foxyfox9196 the fuck are you talking about? Liberals use Robin Hood as justification to steal. And Hood stole tax money back from the tyrannical government who stole too much from the working people. Plus, Disney fucking sucks. And grooms kids.
well plus it was a story for peasants who were not exactly the most ethical bunch. crushing poverty has never been a reliable way to instill morality into people.
You should do a breakdown/review on the Insurance Episode. Would definitely be a good follow up or just a good episode to review. Also it’s very funny so there’s that as well.
Oh yeah, I remember how he wrecked the rail on the garage door…if my siblings or I had done that, we would have had to run for Mexico before our dad found out.
OMG I love Robin Hood but unfortunately people of a more liberal progressive belief takes that folktale to them serious in the real world. I'm looking at you AOC
"Do you know how many people today think it Ok to steal because the victim has a ton of money or even something as simple as insurance? The answer is too. Many." THANK YOU SHADY!
This episode lives rent free in my head. It reminds me of the time I hijacked my mom’s Paypal account (she was naive enough to let me make her account when I was dumb preteen) and blew $2000 on legos + overdraft fees. Don’t let your kids have access to your bank account. ✌️
"If I talked to my parents like that I'd be waking up, not walking out." I need to steal that line fr because I don't think I've ever heard it put in better words
Hank sells Propane and Propane Accessories. He knows nothing about Jet Skis. If I asked a car salesman who never studied how computers work to sell me one, he’d struggle knowing nothing about RAM, Memory, Operating Systems, etc.
I have a metal card in my wallet that's a knife, saw, screwdriver, ruler, and. few other tools. It doesn't fold or nothing moves on it. Anyways I used it to take a patio table apart that we bought at shoprite last week on clearance and the employees who were younger guys were all absolutely blow away by it. They've never seen someone take something so big apart with such a small metal card in their wallet I guess lol.
I actually remember there being an episode where Buck forces Hank to take a vacation because he never takes days off except for maybe holidays. Doesn't mean he makes 7 million dollars obviously, just wanted to point out Hank actually prefers to work and probably does overtime if he can. He responds to propane emergencies even when off the clock too.
I spent the last half of my 20s working for pretty low pay. I helped my parents out a lot. But they treat me with resentment. I figured out later they honestly thought I made a lot of money. Because I bought myself a new gun, engine and parts for a vintage car and was working on a house. I managed to do that by setting up a budget and staying within it. I kept my raises to myself when I started getting them.
I think that parents should show their kids how money works BEFORE it becomes a problem like this. You can see how different Bobby acted when Hank treated him like a man; Bobby experienced empathy when he saw how much he was spending on CDs vs their total entertainment fund and will probably keep that in mind in the future. As an anecdote, my parents sheltered me from the stresses of finances to the point of their only advice being “save and budget” with absolutely no clarifying statements or instruction. So one can imagine how well I faired when I struck out on my own not having any financial literacy
Yeah I’m thankful my parents taught me young but it also has repercussions. I from 5 years old had financial fear, all because of a term “The Hole” or paycheck to paycheck. It messed me up and even now still gives me major anxiety attacks. I’m greatful for my school though because my math classes were all consumer and economic and personal finances and stuff. It taught bout loans and mortgages and everything
@@ThatOneFur yeah these are real life fear that should be feared (and have something done about). My parents imprinted stranger danger to me, a very friendly child who liked to talk to and interact with strangers as I spread the idea of “god’s love”, and guess who had a much lower chance of being abducted as a result of a rational fear. Sheltering your child from things that will very much affect them is irresponsible
Hank's "joke" line about the mayo jar is 1000% true as a homeowner trying to recycle stuff around the house and not put it in the bin. I find the right size glass jar for a thing and I'm in heaven. Plus, 1billion loose, random screws/bolts/fasteners/etc. with no discernable source
It's nice to hear someone else making the point that stealing is wrong regardless of the person's financials. So many people I've talked with think it's fine because they themselves say they are less fortunate as opposed to them.
The “People accrue wealth by being thrifty” thing hits pretty close to home. my parents aren’t any thing close to wealthy but my dad saved up a WHOLE LOT of money just by being a smart investor and saving.
between your excellent comedic sense, and your dead-on moral compass, im quite impressed. out in the real world, ive only met about two people with such morally righteous principles. seeing one on the internet is surreal.
Currently going through a kind of similar experience with my mates where we're all moving into new jobs, and the weird stigma around telling people what you earn is doing nothing but harm, one of us who has been saying what a good deal he's got found out he's earning tens of thousands less than he probably should be, and just thought he was doing well because nobody is willing to talk about it with others, shit's wild
not talking about your pay is something made up by employers to keep employees from figuring that out. not that it helps much, I found out I was making $3 less than a brand new employee but they pretty much said 'what chu gonna do about it?'
@@Born_Stellar it's also to stop jealousy amongst workers. You have two people hired at the same time but over a year one calls in more and does less work. They don't get a raise or at least not a very big one.
@@Born_Stellar you're employer pays for quality. Not a lazy slob that brings nothing but negativity and steals every day. Some people are nothing but fat pieces of shit who think they're God's gift. If you're coworkers are making more money than you then the above applies to YOU
I don't mind that we lost the vote, the video is entertaining regardless of the topic because you are entertaining Shady. I do ask if later down the line after getting a break from KotH videos if you'd be willing to cover the Turnkey episode. As for Bobby should be thankful Hank doesn't spank.... "To Spank, with Love" exist if you ever want to cover it, personally it's my go to episode to show the difference between Hank and Cottons parenting styles. Thank you for reading this comment, and I hope you have a good day!
Not always. It's a case-by-case basis. Experience is the best teacher and there are some things only life can prepare you for, so some kids won't be ready for certain information until life has taught them certain lessons. Also, human brains keep developing until a person's mid-20s, so there are concepts some kids physically won't be able to fully handel until they're older.
For anyone looking for financial advice or general knowledge, the title of this episode "Rich Hank, Poor Hank" is what I assume to be a nod to the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". A very good book that has themes very similar to this episode but obviously is more serious and explains the value of saving and being smart with your money.
"The episode forgot Hank is a salesman" No, Hank suddenly finds himself selling something he has no familiarity with and doesn't know what the market values in the product.
I remember a Dr Phil episode where a young woman was complaining that her mother had no money sense, that she had never worked a day in her life and been taken care of by men first her father then her deceased husband (the young woman's father) and although both had left the mom a substantial nest egg she blew right through it within a few months. Having a mountain of debt everything had to be sold (house cars clothes jewelry ect) and so she was leeching (excuse me) Living with her daughter. Well she found her daughter's emergency credit card which was $1000, called the credit card company and pretended to be her daughter and jacked up the value of the card. By the time the credit card company realized their error the damage had been done. Mommy dearest had racked up a bill of $300,000 (!) Naturally her daughter was angry and she called the police and had mommy dearest arrested for identity theft and credit card fraud. The kicker about all this is that while the daughter related her story what her mother had done to her, there was NO reaction from Dr Phil or the audience but when the daughter said she had her mother arrested they GASPED! Apparently it was perfectly fine for that lazy leeching 💩 to steal from her daughter not just her identity but her money as well but for the daughter to have mommy dearest arrested for the CRIME the daughter was wrong to do so. Funny thing about that if that woman had done the same thing to Dr Phil or any of the audience they wouldn't have a problem with her being arrested nor if the daughter had been punished for robbing her mother. But it was the crime of the century for a child to punish her parent. 🤦
Ty for what you said, it burns me when people act like wealthier people should he robbed. Maybe they worked hard for that money . My grandfather had his own company and while he wasn't a billionaire, he was wealthy all his years, and managed his money sanely.
11:00 Yeah I felt that, not rich but got a bunch of graduation money misplaced my wallet then some fuck stole it eventually a boy scout troupe found it and luckily all the person took was my money none of my personal stuff. But frl FUCK people who think it's just okay to steal. I was omw to buy a decent mountain bike.
one time I found a wallet with $100 in it, and when I saw the girl who it belonged to I went to approach her only to be hit with 'ew I have a boyfriend' before I got close enough to say anything. easiest $100 I ever made.
4:50 When Bobby says “that crappy house is 1-2 million dollars tops”. In Denver that’s no joke. A three bedroom house, with a driveway, and lawn is over a million dollars in Denver.
Got to love the Bobby took the L honorably after hank gave him the opportunity to know why, where and how he was wrong as well as why he's being punished. Bobby saw he was actually wrong and made errors in his assumptions and when he took his punishment he did so with dignity. Shows that hank and Peggy are raising this strange boy right
I know this episode was more about how Hank is a bad teacher by demanding Bobby be financially literate yet not teaching him, but it got me thinking. I'm not sure if it's a common thing for a parent to talk and educate their kids on financial matters, conversations about mortgages, refinancing, credit cards, interest rates, and property value etc. Those are very important topics. I always hear people complain about how schools don't teach financial literacy like paying taxes, but realistically it doesn't require you an entire year to learn any of these things, it'll take an hour at best. You don't need a 1 year explanation on how to do taxes, just collect your tax documents and bring them to H&R block lol.
People complain about schools not teaching financial literacy? McDonald's tried offering financial literacy classes and people called them racist for assuming poor people don't know how to handle money. Roughly half the US seems quite proud to be financially illiterate and they resent anyone offering an education to change that.
Grew up in a sort of rich family myself. My grandmother taught me how to always save money and how to invest. My parents always had good jobs but always bought all of my stuff during sales. I used to get made fun of at school because I wore cheap clothes and had a tracfone. These are the same people who now complain all the time that they can't afford to lease a sports car and max out their credit cards.
Well, Shady, if you wanna do more shows besides "King Of The Hill", allow me to (re?)introduce you to some obscure shows that you might like; "Moral Orel" and David Spade's lost cartoon that been (mostly) found and the long-lost cousin of "Duckman"; "Sammy". Either those or a retrospective on early "Flinstones" episode to show how and why it was one of the first adult-oriented shows.
A cartoon I wouldn't mind seeing him review isn't an adult cartoon, but Mao Mao Heros of Pure Heart had some really great morals in some of the episodes (pilot is someone giving up a dream to fix a problem they caused), but some really REALLY bad ones as well (cops should protect their friends from the legal system)
Everyone's talking about how they stole thousand's as a kid and I'm over here starting to think I was an angel, what the heck was wrong with all of you?
I'm also in the black sock club. They go well with every outfit, and every occasion. You never have to worry about clashing, and if you work in a messy place (like a factory that pushes out saw blades that always has three inches of coolant on the floor) it's much less noticable.
The credit card moment was so hard to watch. Dudes dad works in small town texas so he probably made $8-$14 an hour so he spent so much of his father's hours on that shit. Just a different perspective as well to add on the pain.
No way Hank was making that little money. He was an Assistant Manager at a successful business. Buck may be an ass, but he's not a tight ass. He definitely pays Hank what he's worth. Hank is able to live comfortably in a three bedroom home and allow his wife to work intermittently as a substitute teacher. Yes he's a penny pincher, but there's not really any time in the series where he simply "can't afford" to do something. He's plenty comfortable. But yes, Bobby's ignorance of how much he truly makes and how much they spend was painful.
@@Kaboomboo this is back in the day in small town rickety ass arlen. As a small town Texan he could have easily made only that. The $8 is a lowball but 10-14 is highly accurate. This is the same man that paid sticker price for a car.
Hank doesn't make minimum wage. Most Texans don't because IT IS STUPID TO BE SATISFIED WITH A MINIMUM WAGE JOB FOR LIFE NO MATTER THE RATE! Minimum wage is meant for students and secondary incomes for fucks sake.
Great video! Please make more! I totally agree with you about stealing from the rich. Dumbasses act like it’s some secret loophole, and it’s NOT. Stealing from ANYONE is wrong. Um, I’m gonna get down from my soapbox now cuz I’m scared of heights…
I always related to Bobby as a kid. Despite being a girl and growing up in Indiana instead of Texas my family was pretty similar to the Hills the main difference being we didn't live in a suburb. Shows like this, even in their rougher spots are good to help fill that space because you don't see that in modern shows often. You see flawed families but, I never related to Full House because I was an only child, and I never related to disney channel families because I was usually a lot more poor than they were. Bobby however I WAS him in cases. I'm autistic, I'm bisexual in a family that's Christian, I grew up in a country-ish family that a lot of people don't have respect for, my family has prejudices they have problems I can't actually do anything about but, just like Bobby I don't hate them. I get frustrated, I mess up and I learn from those fuck ups but, that's a good thing.
Just recently discovered this channel and I am already hooked by your KOTH videos. I love how you make your points and support them so eloquently. Looking forward to exploring more of your videos, sir!
Funny, I JUST watched this episode the other day and thought "Shaddy shoulda did a video on this one instead of the Bobby day job one, it tackles those topics much more directly."
One thing I do slightly disagree on is that Bobbys blabbing justified Hank not telling him about family finances. I think the episode more or less illustrates that at least part of the reason Bobby told his friends is because of the magnitude of the secret being discovered and how long it had been kept under wraps. Through the lens of a 13 year old kid who is ignorant of money believing that that you found out that your dad has secretly been a millionaire for your entire life is big news. Especially when contrasted to the blue collar surroundings Bobby has been raised in. He jumped to such a radical conclusion that he was absolutely going to tell his friends. Conversely at the end of the episode upon the realization of the Hills average-ness it seems Bobby wised up and didnt actually blab the full details of the Hills finances to anyone. All of this could have been avoided if Hank had trusted and more importantly respected Bobby to inform him of how money works in the first place.
An underrated lesson for sure. Growing up, I didn't realize my parents were decently well off and it wasn't until I was mouthing off (not really understanding the implications) at school about it with friends and they started calling me "rich girl." And we weren't rich, but my parents lived within their means and had disposable income. Sadly, that made me and other kids in the same situation easy targets for theft. I must have gone through 4 cell phones in high school because people kept stealing from me. And I'm sure they justified it in their heads that "well her parents will just buy her another one." Sadly, my own brother stole from me too, knowing my mom and dad would replace what was stolen, but it didn't make me any less angry. It's not about replacing what was taken, it's about having someone just yoink something that doesn't belong to them and thinking it's okay. That being said, I just want to leave y'all with two things: 1. Mo money, mo problems isn't just a phrase. 2. My dad is white and if I ever mouthed off to Hank the way Bobby did in this episode, I wouldn't exist anymore lol
I knew a kid who had fairly rich parents. he said his dad's corvette cost $10,000. he said his lego set (same one I had for like $50) was 10,000 as well. he wasn't spoiled, he just had no understanding at all about money. and if you think 'mo money, mo problems' then you've obviously never been poor. or mabye you have less problems when you are poor, but the problems are much more important. such as, wtf am I going to eat, and how am I going to pay rent? if you have more problems when you have more money, you're doing it wrong.
@@Born_Stellar My friend, I have been poor. I supported myself while going to college and I definitely know the feeling of having to decide between using the AC or having enough food for the week. To save up change from a job where I got tips if I wanted to go out at all. Always making sure I have enough money for rent before anything else, day by day, it never leaving my mind. I know what it means to struggle. But that is beside the point. That phrase mo money mo problems, is definitely true, but it's not to be interpreted as "if you make a lot of money, you're actually worse off." The phrase means that you shouldn't look to just having more money as the solution to all of your problems. It can certainly make your more immediate needs less daunting, but that doesn't mean you're going to have less problems. If you make more money, you're subject to paying more taxes, lifestyle inflation, and generally viewed as less sympathetic to your peers if they're in a different income bracket. You also become a bigger target for either theft or loans (as I mentioned in my original comment) which can cause strain if you tell them to back off. You may have to work more hours in a day and thus have less time to enjoy your own life or family/loved ones. So just because the problems associated with having more money aren't as daunting or life threatening as living in poverty, that certainly doesn't mean they decrease in number either.
I love that bit about how many people who have money have it due to choices. My friends (seemingly) often think of me as the rich one. In truth, I make very little. That said, I have always been good at saving money since I was a child. After I got my first real job, it only took me four years to buy my own house and have plenty of money left over. Meanwhile, my friends who make more live with their parents still or live with me. They also have next to no savings and are broke every next week. You can't simply decide to make more money on a whim; that requires a better job or other source of income. You can decide to spend less and save for what matters though. Maybe that's one of the reasons that I always related to Hank.
Unless, of course, a drug dealer takes a bunch of drugs to hide them from the cops, predictably ODs while getting detained, and most of the black community freaks out.
13:19 Well yes, he's a salesman, but as Hank always says, he sells propane and propane accessories. He doesn't know about jetskis. It's easier to sell stuff that you actually understand, because your confidence will make your customers trust your judgement.
Late comment but here we go anyway: "Do you have any idea how many people think it's okay to steal from someone just because they're rich, or just have insurance?" Shad, there is an alarmingly growing number of people who think it's okay to do _worse_ to people for just being rich.
You know, considering Khan's personality, I wouldn't be surprised if he literally made a list of everything that Hank owns and tries to buy a better version of it.
Powermove
Just like Borats neighbor
...or buy cheaper versions of everything Ted has.
then wheres the better version of hanks truck
@@boltthunder2061He bought that SUV that was too big to fit into his garage only to have it be run over by Dale when they were taking back the tank Bill drunkenly stole at the end of the episode. I know an SUV isn’t a truck, but Kahn would see an SUV as being superior to a Truck, thus it would be a better version of Hank’s vehicle in his eyes.
‘Hank probably takes sick days...’
Shady, don’t lie, we both know he doesn’t
As someone who has the same work ethics as hank he probably feels guilty as hell if he misses a day of work and feels like he's playing hookey
@@roneherushin4638 I believe he stated in one episode that one of the few times he took a day off of work was the day Bobby was born and picked up a shift to make up for it.
He once tried to work while sick in "Bill's House."
@roneherushin4638 I have a different mindset. I know those guys would be sinking if I took all my days off at once. But now that we got the staff, it'd probably just be my department sinking

"That's our entertainment budget? But I spend that much on CDs every month."
The exact moment Bobby gets it.
CDs, a novelty relic now.
How much does Hank make?
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 In the late 90s in a small town being a manager at a small business - I'd guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $40-50k max
@@ram89572 The episode where Peggy buys a book store mentions that it would be $1500 a month to operate. Hank is hesitant, but he doesn't outright say he can't afford it. So I'm guessing he makes pretty decent money. Strickland Propane is a successful business and Hank is paid what he's worth. So 50k seems about right for the time and the area.
After Bobby heard about how some rich people are too cheap to even pay for proper medical care for their loved ones, I feel like this line was a nice realization for him.
Not only does he see that he was wrong to worry about his parents neglecting him, but he sees that they're making sacrifices in their limited budget solely for his benefit.
I love how Bobby's calculation skills don't account for a single expense Hank might have spent
He tunnel visioned on how much his dad would make that he didn’t pay attention to how much he would have to spend on necessities, he’s a good kid but still just a kid.
To be fair he only heard Hank say he made 1K that month, so that’s all he had to go off of. If Bobby was there while Hank and Peggy were talking about the expenses, Bobby might have taken that into consideration
"Stealing is wrong because IT'S NOT YOURS TO TAKE"
It's really sad how this HAS to be said, but I think you for saying it anyway.
At the time, this show was getting kind of irritatingly into "KIDS THESE DAYS am I right?" territory, exaggerating Bobby into a straw teen when he used to be a lot more endearingly dimwitted but weirdly competent underneath.. but man, the worse things get, the more these episodes are freaking important.
@@KairuHakubi indeed
Depends on the thing being stolen. Like a rubber band is fine, but anything that cost more than 50 cents is too much to steal
Except when it comes the value of your labor, then it's fine for bosses to keep most of the profits your work generates, while you mean minimum wage
@@earthquake69theres literally no correlation about what you are saying and the topic at hand.
Also, miss me with the marxist labor bs theory.
Bobby: Our house is probably a million, two million tops.
People in the 90s: Ha!

Depends where you live.
Sounds about right in California
A dude bought the bungalow I used to live in as a kid and flipped it, for 340:000$! And that isn’t even the average price for a good house in my town.
I know everyone hates Peggy but that joke where she forgot they weren’t actually making out is one of the funniest things I’ve seen from this show
agreed she has her good moments.
Most ppl in the fandom don't actually hate Peggy, they just hate what she does sometimes.
They dont hate peggy they hate peggys narcissistic tendency's
feels like a thing a Tim Robinson character would do. Which means it was really funny
I hate Peggy too much. I just can’t stand her. She hasn’t made me laugh a single time. Just makes me cringe and irritated 😂
I am glad you brought up stealing is wrong. I got robbed 2 years ago by some teenagers. The hit me on the side of the head and took my laptop. When caught they said, they didn’t see what was wrong because I looked loaded. When I explained that I wasn’t even close, they just assumed I must be lying due to me having a nice laptop and car. I worked 3 jobs to get those things and saved. It was so hurtful that they thought it was okay to steal because I had something better than what they had. If I was rich or not, its not okay to steal. I bought the item with my work and money.
I’m so sorry that happened to you man, that’s horrible
a friend of mine had that happen to him a while back. ex girlfriend had her brother/friends rob the dude, tied him up and took pretty much everything because of a similar reason. only reason he had the stuff he had was because he worked something like 80-90 hours a week at the time.
granted, he outright admitted later that he had poor choice in women at the time and uses the event as self deprecating humor even like 10 later, but its still fucked and caused him to be much more withdrawn with his spending
Yeah, same. My house got broken into by a drug addict and robbed and he thought it was fine because I had nice stuff. I worked two jobs and saved for years to get that nice stuff. I don't see the point in buying cheap stuff that will break at some point so I save for months or years(I saved for nearly three years to get my current computer and saved for over a year to get my TV)to get something of higher quality that will last and I can repair if it breaks down but people assume I have a lot of money just because I manage what money I have well and don't throw it away.
Stealing is always wrong and it always hurts someone.
It's stories like these that scare me allot.
So sorry for your unfortunate events. It just reminded me of all the things that I worked my **ass** off to get and I triple lock every door and have securities aimed at every door and window possible out of fear o_o;
This selfish generation thinks it’s morally okay to steal from the rich because they’re jealous
During Bobby's rich life fantasy you can see that he wasn't all that greedy because what he really wanted was to spend time with Hank. The boy ain't right but he's a pretty good son.
That's because he was brought up with honor and respect not like today's generation

On Robin Hood: There's also the fact that he literally was stealing the money collected by the taxmen, and giving it back to the PEOPLE PAYING THE TAXES. He wasn't just robbing the nobility and dumping it all in the lap of some random bum. It was about giving the people back what they had rightfully earned, and was unjustly stolen from them.
I think more so it’s about the fact that the people were starving, and the mere act of hoarding wealth was literally murdering the peasants. Just because they were poor peasants, doesn’t mean they deserve to die.
The part everyone misses on this story is that the taxes were *illegal*. The Sheriff didn't have the right to levy new taxes, especially at the insane rates he was, so Robin did the only thing available to him and stole it back.
@@hawkticus_history_corner taxation is theft. if i want a government or otherwise public service, then i'll pay for it then and there.
Kinda like the working class taking back what is rightfully ours through usage, care, and daily work from the likes of thieves like landlords, bosses, and billionaire CEOs
Seems weird to look at Robinhood and only take away "wow taxes sure do suck. Nothing wrong with tax evasion. Just with poor people daring to try to afford medical care or food when they should just shut up and die when they're no longer economically useful"
And really perhaps the grossest interpretation I've ever even seen
@@hawkticus_history_corner in most versions it wasn't just the Sheriff of Nottingham, it was the king of England (usually King John) himself levying the taxes, with the Sheriff enforcing them in Nottingham. So it wasn't just a small, isolated area with political corruption, all of England was being overtaxed or unfairly suppressed.
For me, Bobby taking his punishment instead of complaining about it is further evidence that he's a good kid. Sure he does something bad here and there, but when he's punished for it, he knows he deserved it and would rather pay off his debt than try to fight it. Hank and Peggy are raising him right.
Bobby's a good kid generally, it's just that sometimes he's a dumbass.
He normally complains about being punished, but in this case he realized how much he screwed up and accepted his punishment with dignity.
So the boy is right then?🤔

During the 2020 riots, people happily torched and destroyed businesses because "They have insurance."
1. Them having insurance doesn't mean they should have to deal with you destroying their livelihood because you're mad about something they didn't cause and you aren't even connected to.
2. Insurance doesn't cover riots.
Sounds like maybe we should take a look at the problems they were protesting about maybe; police brutality and extra-judicial murder.
Insurance can cover riots, as long as you get that specific coverage.
However, even in that situation, they have a very high deductible. Usually in the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, but more is expected for a more profitable or larger location.

As old as King Of The Hill is, it still holds up nicely and is a great show to throw on when in need of a laugh. Definitely beats some of the newer shows, that’s for damn sure.
Problem is a lot of shows try to be modern, not topical. King of the Hill has timeless morals, a lot of these shows; including Rick, and Morty don't.
King of the Hill isn't rad, or groundbreaking lol for an classic 90's cartoon. But it's something to watch if you're bored or just want to watch something settle, and welcoming.
I genuinely don't understand why shows being old is a problem to someone people. And KOTH was made in the 90's! People are making it sound like it's Little House on the Prairie.
@@possummagic3571 hey I like little house it's a nice show.
When they fall F is for family an adulterated KOTH you know TV has gone far, far downhill
This episode frustrates me because Hank wouldn't just lay it out for Bobby at the start. I grew up poor, and my family made us understand the bills come first, then groceries, then whatever else. I had to be painfully aware of my family's budget as a teenager, a time when you want everything your classmates have and no money to get it!😄😄
Yeah Hank's the 2nd best Cartoon dad ( after Bob) but he can be way too uptight and is, almost, too principled
It was so depressing growing up, becoming an adult, and realizing my parents were absolutely right not to buy me fruit snacks on the reg. they are just insanely expensive. Not that I doubted them THAT hard, but I was just hoping they were wrong.
For me it was the opposite. My parents always told me we were poor. For me, it was normal for your parents to be poor, so I never, ever asked for money for anything.
They were only poor until I was 11, then they were actually pretty rich. They're not poor, they have tons of money. My brother got to experience their wealth, and I didn't.
It just burns me because they could have paid for my college, but instead they made me pay for it myself while they bought a farm and a vacation home. That's actually a really hard thing to live with.
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 people dont talk about miser problems since they aren't as common anymore, but they are still a thing. you cant take it with you after all, gotta appreciate and use it now.
I will say I understand Hank, as coming from an ex-middle class family (technically lower class as the middle class is all but dead) around the time of the housing crisis my parents shut up entirely about anything about our finances because they wanted me to focus on being a kid rather than worrying about money like they were. It's completely reasonable he probably felt the same way, let grown-ups be grown-ups and kids should be kids.
The biggest issue in this episode, to me, is that Hank is one of those people who buy into the idea that you should never talk about how much you make. While he is right that it's really nobody's business but yours and the tax man's, the entire conflict of the episode would have been avoided if he simply sat Bobby down and explained how their finances work.
"The entire conflict would have been avoided", yes but then you wouldn't have an episode and learning opportunity from the characters.
I'm not entirely sure. Shady even pointed out that almost immediately after eavesdropping on Hank and thinking that Hank said he made $1,000 a day his first move was to go straight to his friend Joseph and start talking and bragging about it and then go to Connie as well which got back to the parents and Hanks friends.
Bobby and Peggy both seem to have over sharing problems.
Hank is a boomer. Of course he buys into that.
The correct move would have been to explain, "Bobby, we're just an average working middle class Arlen, Texas family. We make as much as everybody else does. We're not exactly wealthy, but neither are we poor. We do okay for ourselves, because we budget carefully and choose our expenditures."

Robin Hood is a folkloric noble who had his lands taken when he was assumed dead during the Crusades, his ailing father dying in the interim. He was a generous gentle figure who loved his subjects and just wanted to protect and care for them. Theft was the ideal way to do it, as he possessed no other logical option since all others were shut off.
Bobby is just a thief with no excuse save ignorance.
Exactly, "stealing from the rich to give to the poor" was always an oversimplification of Robin Hood's motives as a character.
His story ends with him being killed by a bitter monk and nurse while they explain how their parishoners starved because of him
@@PrincessNinja007 His story ended with a nun bleeding him too much because her brother was the disgraced sheriff. She knew she was doing it out of hate for him. Robin's father died due to a monk and nun conspiring against him due to the Locksley's evidently owning some of their land, promised them in a charter. They just let him languish and die.
In most versions of Robin Hood, he doesn't steal from "the rich" at all. He steals from Prince John (aka the Government) pretty much exclusively. More specifically he steals the tax money taken from the people and returns it to them. This notion that Robin Hood is somehow an allegory for Socialism or whatever is ridiculous and stupid every single time some idiot tries to make that claim.
I've heard one of the stories about Robin Hood in which the King disguised himself as a commoner in order to see what he was about.
Robin Hood and his band of thieves ambushed him, robbed him and took him back to their camp where they had a little archery contest.
One man, I think it was Little John aimed at the target, pulled back on the bow and fired. Missing the target.
Robin went up to him and smacked him on the back of the head.
Next of Robin's men went up, aimed at the target, pulled back on the bow and fired. Missing the target.
Robin went up to him and smacked him on the back of the head.
The King then went up, aimed at the target, pulled back on the bow and fired. Missing the target.
Robin went up to him and smacked him on the back of the head.
Then Robin himself went forth, with his mighty bow he aimed, pulled back and fired. Missing the target.
The King, wondering how to resolve this situation, went up to Robin and smacked him on the back of the head.
Everyone, including Robin Hood and the King himself, were equals.
Surprised you didn’t talk about how John Redcorn had a cougar gal pal who called him “Johnny.” I think it’s like one of the few times somebody doesn’t call him by his full name or Mr. Redcorn.

Only Peggy and men are safe from Redcorn
@@guilhermehank4938 what about Luanne? I don’t think it gets brought up enough that even she knew before Peggy lol
Huge fan
An excellent perspective that I didn't expect! The episode did show how Bobby's view of money Bobby has while also showing Hank's teaching as lacking but poignant, which then led to the plot going the way it did. It was also excellent for Hank to realize how different his son is compared to any spoiled brat, too.

This episode helps me realize that you don't have to be so recluse with every dollar you make. The feeling is a "It's ok to enjoy the fruits of your labor" experience. Some people may disagree with what you spend your fun money on but that's not their decision to make. Don't blow your paycheck and avoid debt by all means, but do not rob yourself of living. So long as every paycheck you make there's a piece to keep, you won't go bust. Live well people.
Hank showed an unexpected amount of patience. This is the kind of thing that would make Hank nuts with rage. My father would have probably hit me so damn hard I might get knocked out and die.
I feel like he was more confused than anything. If the boah was being obstinate, he'd lose it.. but he was acting like he felt what he was doing was okay, and Hank had no freaking idea why until the miscommunication got sorted out. He was too blindsided by that to even think of the "hang on, even if everything you thought *were* true, that would still be wrong."
and in fairness, it is normal in a lot of upperclass households for the kids to just take a little here and there for what they want without asking. usually they'd have their own credit cards for that, with a limit representing how much they're budgeted for a month.
Well it's King Of The Hill and TV so violence like that is kind of unacceptable. I have now amassed a coin collection that is " worthy of murder ". Those who were born into poverty but amassed a good amount of value will NOT forgive theft and will kill someone over such theft out of their build ups. Rich assholes will just get bail outs but there is no bail out for people like us...
I literally would never even consider taking my dads card for personal use. Most likely I would get beat to death
"Bobby... Be thankful Hank is not black" had me howling!
Ohhh this line hit me close!!! 😝
@@marcuswoods2006 (white here) One of the few times my dad ever raised a hand to us boys after we were 9/10 was when my brother dumped a ton of money on microtransaction when we were 13. I heard that slap across the house.
I'm surprised there exists a level of pigmentation low enough to save Bobby from an ass whupping after saying that.
Then there'd be a chance hank wouldn't be around
i died, was thinking the same thing right as Shady said it!
Of the whole series, the joke that made me laugh the hardest was "Bobby, time to wrap pennies. Dang it, who threw out this mayonnaise jar? I use them to store extra screws.". 🤣
Hank: "Peggy, why did you throw out these tortillas? they only expired 3 days ago "
To be fair, expiration/sell-by dates are not "this immediately becomes unsafe to eat after this date". It's closer to "someone who uses this product at a reasonable rate should be able to buy this by the listed date and go through it before it goes bad."
Obviously you want to check outdated food before you eat it regardless, but a lot of things are still good for at least a few days past the expiration date.
@@Groundlord agreed. Like if bread doesn’t have mold on it, you’re prolly good to eat it
"Stealing is wrong because ITS NOT YOURS TO TAKE"
say it louder for the people in the back.
Stealing....IS STEALING.
I agree 100%
Tell that to the politicians.
There's literally nothing wrong with stealing from multibillion dollar corporations. They still make a profit.
@@Reboobed you still don’t get the point.
Tell that to the irs
"Stealing isn't wrong because the owner needs whatever you're taking, stealing is wrong because it's NOT YOURS TO TAKE."
You'd think this is morality 101, you know? But no. It's not. The word "man-children" comes to mind. It's a world full of Bobby Hills.
Bobby at least has the excuse of being a child child
@@highlander2319 I was just about to say Bobby is at least a child and doesn't know any better. An grown man on the other hand has no excuse.
I think the morality comes into play if the money being stolen was gained immorally. Thieves stealing from thieves
@@Maggles69 Even if the gains are ill-gotten, that does not morally enable anyone to take it. The justice system, in theory, is supposed to expropriate those ill-gotten gains appropriately. Thieves are neither elected nor appointed to reclaim stolen property.
@@SaltpeterTaffy Yeah, "in theory". But as it turns out, that's not usually how it goes, now is it?
I like how this episode shows that, even though Bobby did a bad thing, he's still, at his core, a good kid. While Hank still needed to discipline him, he saw how good Bobby was when he encountered that little jerk with the divorced parents.
I love the episode where Bobby thinks Hank is rich! although i don't really condone that Bobby stole from his own father by using that credit card. but at least the episode itself kinda teaches the importants of the value of money, well to a certain extent anyway.
Losing that 1k bonus to pay off useless things was too painful
I loved the ending it's cute seeing hank and Bobby understand eachother
It’s always interesting when Hank learns sure bobby isn’t made from the same mold as him but he learns he did put in enough of the same ingredients.
If i had a child that stole my emergency credit card, thered be a belt and no jet ski for the kid
Ah yes, assault and battery. Tools for the totally stable parents
this episode always angered me so much because my parents acted EXACTLY the same way as hank here. they would not tell me ANYTHING about money, not even how much the bills were, and always gave the excuse "you would just blab to your friends how much we make" even though i had never given them any reason to think that. they literally acted like the only reason i wanted to know was so i could tell everyone. like what even. obviously bobby jumped to conclusions and was in the wrong here, but boy did i have zero sympathy for hank
I think that’s what annoys me about this episode too. I understand not wanting strangers to know about your finances but your own family too? Like how do you expect to teach your kids the value of money if they don’t even have a reference? I feel lucky that my dad was transparent when it came to our finances as a kid and even now I still go to him to compare our bills to see if I’m paying to much or not.
“If I talk to my parents like that, let’s just say id be waking up not walking out”
Same brother 😅
oh, no one would ever find my body XD
@@magmat0585 would there even be a body left? Lol
Man my condolences if I ever did that I'd be given a reasonable punishment like being forced to hold two books one in each hand outstretched since even my short tempered father has never let he's anger control him annove to strike he's children he was always able to hold the middle ground between terrifying and fun unlike he's own father who beat my father ironically unsuccessfully since my father had i high pain tolerance and eventually by he's teens could lift he's own father with ease so threats of violence stopped working and now they don't speak to each other ironically not for any of the reasons above but because he's father tried to scam him.
Yeah i had a pretty abusive family too. It sucks how normalized that shit is. Way more than it is to cut contact with toxic or abusive parents.
(Seriously people will really treat you like a monster for cutting contact with a mother who makes you physically sick to be around or think too much about due to tons of abuse she doesn't really regret at all. Or at least feel it's appropriate to ask probing personal questions and lay on guilt trips to people they know don't talk to their parents but might not know why. And then they'll straight up have sympathy for the same parent actually beating their child to death, especially if the child is not white or neurotypical/non disabled. The more society as a whole disregards the demographic of the child the more the death will be ignored or ruled accident, SIDS, or even suicide. Cops and press alike along with the general public that really doesn't like questioning "grieving" parents. It's absolutely disgusting. To the point where there can be no question and the public knows the parent did it, "but it's just sooooo hard to raise a child like THAT. Come on we cant judge uwu". Sickening.
[Sorry I grew up in a town with very low official crime numbers but pretty high child mortality and physical abuse rate. I've had multiple coworkers shake 3 babies to death before any Jail time or official record "because accidents happen ", with their girl/boy friends explaining the situation once they're not at work or when they're still upset because of the earlier deaths etc. I've had friends disappear as a child myself. I've almost died many times myself via choking or prone restraint. I've had parents break bones and cause permanent throat damage, only for it to swept under the rug as "parents have a right to discipline however they see fit. If you try to report them again you'll be arrested you troublesome brat" before even turning 18 etc)
All this is especially way too common in the south. Fuck this culture so hard.
Denormalize abusing children.
Normalize estrangement from abusive family. Particularly in Latino and black families.
This shit is way too widespread and so harmful to so many people and throughout the generations. It needs to end.
And martyrdom or your own trauma is not an excuse for treating your children like garbage or even risking their lives because you can't be bothered to do the work to unpack your own trauma, triggers, and emotional responses. . It just ain't.
I don't care how hard you have it. There's no excuse.
No child deserves to grow up in fear of their own parents of all things. Especially not kids that can't generally feel safe in public either.
Same.
This episode is Peggy's genes on display front and center. Bobby usually has a pretty good moral compass because of Hank's influence, but Peggy's stubborn entitlement and tendency to resent people can definitely show up in Bobby once in a while. When he gets the wrong idea in his head he'll stick to it like his life depends on it. That makes episodes where he does make good decisions really stand out. It warms my heart to see Bobby is more thoughtful and self-aware than his mom.
Yeah as polar opposite as they are I've always gotten the sense that Bobby always looks up too Hank and took his teaching's too heart far more than he did with Hank's wife
That part where Bobby day dreams about being rich. Is a top tier KOTH moment.
11:10 I know exactly what you are referencing there and mad respect for calling that out. It doesn't matter how much money someone has, if they have insurance or not, you do not steal from someone else. Period.
I think it's important when parents try to teach their kids about money it's important to talk openly and honestly and explain the importance of it all. Probably not what most kids will sit and listen to but I still think it can be done.
My phone can finish charging later. This needs to be watched immediately.
I was about to do some writing and the notification happened.
While this series had some hilariously out-there concepts (Dale being a conspiracy nut but _seemingly_ missing his wife’s infidelity and his son’s obvious paternity for example), episodes like this are so relatable because we’ve all been there, we all had funny ideas about money and what things cost, this episode did an _okay_ job of teaching the lesson and I applaud King of the Hill for doing it.
Thanks for the new vid Shady, stay cool and go hug your animal friends 💙🐱💙
P.S Shady would you consider covering “Aisle 8A”? It’s one of the episodes I remember vividly from my childhood, how uncomfortable Hank was but he still endeavoured to help Khanny (also a little scene of Khanny crying to a whale documentary)? Or “Won’t You Primai Neighbour”: one of the more out-there episodes but with a pretty great moment between Bobby and Khanny (and a funny little moment with Peggy and a Buddhist)?
That thing with Dale and Nancy is there for comedy. It's juxtaposition.
@@possummagic3571 it’s still in the show and it’s still out there, it counts.
@@LadyLeomon Count's towards what? The show's most hilarious moments? I agree.
Hell yes shady of the hill is the best thing I see in my feed everytime, how did this dude not pop off in a big way yet
4:41 I actually recall an episode where Hank states the last time he took a day off was when Bobby was born, so around 11 years prior to the series. He's that much obsessed with work, he really doesn't like missing it.
Also, i just discovered this channel and I'm really digging these videos on one of my childhood shows!
I really do enjoy this episode and this is a great review of it.
I do have one comment on Bobby stealing Hank's card, though. You're 100% right that "it's not theft because they're rich" is BS. But in this circumstance, I can kinda understand Bobby's mentality. He knows his parents give him money, but he thinks they are hoarding much more. Kids understand that parents don't just give money to other people's kids. In his mind, he's entitled to some of the "family's" fortune.
Now, he's still wrong. But it's not that Bobby is "stealing from a rich guy so it's okay"; it's that he's taking what he thinks he's entitled to anyway (again, wrong, but understandable, even forgivable from a kid's logic).
that really is a very nuanced way to put it...
it doesn't EXCUSE it...
it EXPLAINS it...
Tend to agree. It's still wrong but for a kid like Bobby it's more stupid-wrong than criminal wrong.
I believe Bobby would NEVER take Kahn's credit card. Or Mr. Strickland's, or a random rich person's... unless the writers needed him to for a joke. Let's not pretend these are real people.
I just agree I don't think the logic is "he's rich so I can steal from him"
The logic is "our family is loaded and dad is not sharing with the family even though it would cost him nothing."
Bobby is also developmentally acting like an 8 year old in this episode. So in cartoon logic you have to think of this as an 8 year old doing it. That matters. If Bobby were acting like a normal 13 year old, I'd be madder.
But the kid clearly is not acting his age for this plot.
I wish he'd stolen Hank's card to buy Hank something though. Like a new lawnmower.
Same lesson but the theft would at least come from a good place.
For anyone wondering why Hank is so shocked by Bobby asking how much Hank makes, it's because Hank is of a generation where just asking that is considered incredibly rude. It is right up there with asking an older woman her age. That is information that they consider deeply private and potentially very embarrassing that you have no business asking and no legitimate need to know it. That attitude is changing for various reasons, but for a very long time that was the overall attitude.
I love the quick Robin Hood breakdown.
Those who point to Robin Hood as justification to steal from those who have more has obviously never seen, or read the tale, and has been told a very bad interpretation of the story from evil people.
Schools nowadays have stories of Robin Hood that make him out to be stealing from only the rich. No doubt it's intentional, they're trying to indoctrinate kids to have a mindset geared towards socialism.
Says the person who acts like Disney and the crown are the authority on the folk hero just because they made him properly liberal enough for your tastes
@@foxyfox9196 the fuck are you talking about? Liberals use Robin Hood as justification to steal. And Hood stole tax money back from the tyrannical government who stole too much from the working people. Plus, Disney fucking sucks. And grooms kids.
well plus it was a story for peasants who were not exactly the most ethical bunch. crushing poverty has never been a reliable way to instill morality into people.
You should do a breakdown/review on the Insurance Episode. Would definitely be a good follow up or just a good episode to review. Also it’s very funny so there’s that as well.
I think the B-plot is a little ridiculous but I would love to see a breakdown of this episode!
Yes!
Oh yeah, I remember how he wrecked the rail on the garage door…if my siblings or I had done that, we would have had to run for Mexico before our dad found out.
The amount of people who misunderstood the message of Robinhood has not only been disappointing but rather terrifying as well.
OMG I love Robin Hood but unfortunately people of a more liberal progressive belief takes that folktale to them serious in the real world. I'm looking at you AOC
"Do you know how many people today think it Ok to steal because the victim has a ton of money or even something as simple as insurance? The answer is too. Many." THANK YOU SHADY!
This episode lives rent free in my head. It reminds me of the time I hijacked my mom’s Paypal account (she was naive enough to let me make her account when I was dumb preteen) and blew $2000 on legos + overdraft fees.
Don’t let your kids have access to your bank account. ✌️
No, you were right the first time. You hijacked it
@@1x4 Thank you Captain Obvious. I am well aware.
And then what happened?
@@dawgwiddaglasses did you get your hide tanned?
damn that's like, 10 lego sets.
This entire situation could have been avoided if Hank was honest with Bobby and discussed their finances.
"If I talked to my parents like that I'd be waking up, not walking out." I need to steal that line fr because I don't think I've ever heard it put in better words
Hank sells Propane and Propane Accessories.
He knows nothing about Jet Skis.
If I asked a car salesman who never studied how computers work to sell me one, he’d struggle knowing nothing about RAM, Memory, Operating Systems, etc.
I have a metal card in my wallet that's a knife, saw, screwdriver, ruler, and. few other tools. It doesn't fold or nothing moves on it. Anyways I used it to take a patio table apart that we bought at shoprite last week on clearance and the employees who were younger guys were all absolutely blow away by it. They've never seen someone take something so big apart with such a small metal card in their wallet I guess lol.
As far as the Bobby understanding the value of money episodes goes, I think you should also cover the panhandling episode.
Don't forget the episode where Hank takes Bobby camping to learn self-reliance, only to have their trip invaded by liberal hippies.
Imagine "stealing is wrong" being a controversial take.
I actually remember there being an episode where Buck forces Hank to take a vacation because he never takes days off except for maybe holidays. Doesn't mean he makes 7 million dollars obviously, just wanted to point out Hank actually prefers to work and probably does overtime if he can. He responds to propane emergencies even when off the clock too.
I spent the last half of my 20s working for pretty low pay. I helped my parents out a lot. But they treat me with resentment. I figured out later they honestly thought I made a lot of money. Because I bought myself a new gun, engine and parts for a vintage car and was working on a house. I managed to do that by setting up a budget and staying within it. I kept my raises to myself when I started getting them.
I think that parents should show their kids how money works BEFORE it becomes a problem like this. You can see how different Bobby acted when Hank treated him like a man; Bobby experienced empathy when he saw how much he was spending on CDs vs their total entertainment fund and will probably keep that in mind in the future. As an anecdote, my parents sheltered me from the stresses of finances to the point of their only advice being “save and budget” with absolutely no clarifying statements or instruction. So one can imagine how well I faired when I struck out on my own not having any financial literacy
Yeah I’m thankful my parents taught me young but it also has repercussions. I from 5 years old had financial fear, all because of a term “The Hole” or paycheck to paycheck. It messed me up and even now still gives me major anxiety attacks. I’m greatful for my school though because my math classes were all consumer and economic and personal finances and stuff. It taught bout loans and mortgages and everything
@@ThatOneFur yeah these are real life fear that should be feared (and have something done about). My parents imprinted stranger danger to me, a very friendly child who liked to talk to and interact with strangers as I spread the idea of “god’s love”, and guess who had a much lower chance of being abducted as a result of a rational fear. Sheltering your child from things that will very much affect them is irresponsible
Hank's "joke" line about the mayo jar is 1000% true as a homeowner trying to recycle stuff around the house and not put it in the bin. I find the right size glass jar for a thing and I'm in heaven. Plus, 1billion loose, random screws/bolts/fasteners/etc. with no discernable source
I like making lamps out of old jars.
I like that the show lets both guys in the argument be human.
Something you won't see much of these days.
It's nice to hear someone else making the point that stealing is wrong regardless of the person's financials. So many people I've talked with think it's fine because they themselves say they are less fortunate as opposed to them.
The “People accrue wealth by being thrifty” thing hits pretty close to home. my parents aren’t any thing close to wealthy but my dad saved up a WHOLE LOT of money just by being a smart investor and saving.
between your excellent comedic sense, and your dead-on moral compass, im quite impressed. out in the real world, ive only met about two people with such morally righteous principles. seeing one on the internet is surreal.
Currently going through a kind of similar experience with my mates where we're all moving into new jobs, and the weird stigma around telling people what you earn is doing nothing but harm, one of us who has been saying what a good deal he's got found out he's earning tens of thousands less than he probably should be, and just thought he was doing well because nobody is willing to talk about it with others, shit's wild
not talking about your pay is something made up by employers to keep employees from figuring that out. not that it helps much, I found out I was making $3 less than a brand new employee but they pretty much said 'what chu gonna do about it?'
@@Born_Stellar it's also to stop jealousy amongst workers. You have two people hired at the same time but over a year one calls in more and does less work. They don't get a raise or at least not a very big one.

I don't mind that we lost the vote, the video is entertaining regardless of the topic because you are entertaining Shady. I do ask if later down the line after getting a break from KotH videos if you'd be willing to cover the Turnkey episode.
As for Bobby should be thankful Hank doesn't spank.... "To Spank, with Love" exist if you ever want to cover it, personally it's my go to episode to show the difference between Hank and Cottons parenting styles.
Thank you for reading this comment, and I hope you have a good day!
When you treat a kid like an adult, they act like an adult.
Not always. It's a case-by-case basis. Experience is the best teacher and there are some things only life can prepare you for, so some kids won't be ready for certain information until life has taught them certain lessons. Also, human brains keep developing until a person's mid-20s, so there are concepts some kids physically won't be able to fully handel until they're older.
Nothing you say will satisfy this man
For anyone looking for financial advice or general knowledge, the title of this episode "Rich Hank, Poor Hank" is what I assume to be a nod to the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". A very good book that has themes very similar to this episode but obviously is more serious and explains the value of saving and being smart with your money.
"The episode forgot Hank is a salesman"
No, Hank suddenly finds himself selling something he has no familiarity with and doesn't know what the market values in the product.
I remember a Dr Phil episode where a young woman was complaining that her mother
had no money sense, that she had never worked a day in her life and been taken care of by men first her father then her deceased husband (the young woman's father) and although both had left the mom a substantial nest egg she blew right through it within a few months. Having a mountain of debt everything had to be sold
(house cars clothes jewelry ect)
and so she was leeching (excuse me) Living with her daughter. Well she found her daughter's emergency credit card which was $1000, called the credit card company and pretended to be her daughter and jacked up the value of the card. By the time the credit card company realized their error the damage had been done. Mommy dearest had racked up a bill of
$300,000 (!) Naturally her daughter was angry and she called the police and had mommy dearest arrested for
identity theft and credit card fraud. The kicker about all this
is that while the daughter related her story what her mother had done to her, there was NO reaction from Dr Phil or the audience but when the daughter said she had her mother arrested they GASPED! Apparently it was perfectly fine for that lazy leeching 💩 to steal from her daughter not just her identity but her money as well but for the daughter to have mommy dearest arrested for the CRIME the daughter was wrong to do so. Funny thing about that if that woman had done the same thing to Dr Phil or any of the audience they wouldn't have a problem with her being arrested nor if the daughter had been punished for robbing her mother. But it was the crime of the century for a child to punish her parent. 🤦
That doesn't sound right.
It sounds like Dr Phil and the audience didn't want to interrupt her when she was talking.
Ty for what you said, it burns me when people act like wealthier people should he robbed. Maybe they worked hard for that money . My grandfather had his own company and while he wasn't a billionaire, he was wealthy all his years, and managed his money sanely.
11:00 Yeah I felt that, not rich but got a bunch of graduation money misplaced my wallet then some fuck stole it eventually a boy scout troupe found it and luckily all the person took was my money none of my personal stuff. But frl FUCK people who think it's just okay to steal. I was omw to buy a decent mountain bike.
one time I found a wallet with $100 in it, and when I saw the girl who it belonged to I went to approach her only to be hit with 'ew I have a boyfriend' before I got close enough to say anything. easiest $100 I ever made.
4:50 When Bobby says “that crappy house is 1-2 million dollars tops”. In Denver that’s no joke. A three bedroom house, with a driveway, and lawn is over a million dollars in Denver.
Got to love the Bobby took the L honorably after hank gave him the opportunity to know why, where and how he was wrong as well as why he's being punished.
Bobby saw he was actually wrong and made errors in his assumptions and when he took his punishment he did so with dignity.
Shows that hank and Peggy are raising this strange boy right
I know this episode was more about how Hank is a bad teacher by demanding Bobby be financially literate yet not teaching him, but it got me thinking.
I'm not sure if it's a common thing for a parent to talk and educate their kids on financial matters, conversations about mortgages, refinancing, credit cards, interest rates, and property value etc. Those are very important topics.
I always hear people complain about how schools don't teach financial literacy like paying taxes, but realistically it doesn't require you an entire year to learn any of these things, it'll take an hour at best. You don't need a 1 year explanation on how to do taxes, just collect your tax documents and bring them to H&R block lol.
People complain about schools not teaching financial literacy? McDonald's tried offering financial literacy classes and people called them racist for assuming poor people don't know how to handle money. Roughly half the US seems quite proud to be financially illiterate and they resent anyone offering an education to change that.
Speaking from experience heck no I'm not doing that again. Still waiting for my tax return that they said themselves should've arrived months ago
Grew up in a sort of rich family myself. My grandmother taught me how to always save money and how to invest. My parents always had good jobs but always bought all of my stuff during sales.
I used to get made fun of at school because I wore cheap clothes and had a tracfone. These are the same people who now complain all the time that they can't afford to lease a sports car and max out their credit cards.
Well, Shady, if you wanna do more shows besides "King Of The Hill", allow me to (re?)introduce you to some obscure shows that you might like; "Moral Orel" and David Spade's lost cartoon that been (mostly) found and the long-lost cousin of "Duckman"; "Sammy". Either those or a retrospective on early "Flinstones" episode to show how and why it was one of the first adult-oriented shows.
As much as I would enjoy Shady talking about Moral Orel, it would just be q drop on the ocean at this point
i thought Sammy was entirely found?
@@syndrette It's been a while since I've seen the episodes. Some of them were still missing then.
A cartoon I wouldn't mind seeing him review isn't an adult cartoon, but Mao Mao Heros of Pure Heart had some really great morals in some of the episodes (pilot is someone giving up a dream to fix a problem they caused), but some really REALLY bad ones as well (cops should protect their friends from the legal system)
@@amandamimic2725 I would like to see that too, although I think the point of that episode was to point out differences between rules and morals
Everyone's talking about how they stole thousand's as a kid and I'm over here starting to think I was an angel, what the heck was wrong with all of you?
I'm also in the black sock club. They go well with every outfit, and every occasion. You never have to worry about clashing, and if you work in a messy place (like a factory that pushes out saw blades that always has three inches of coolant on the floor) it's much less noticable.
But don't wear black socks in the summertime along with black gym shoes when you're working outside. Your foot is going to be in HELL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The credit card moment was so hard to watch. Dudes dad works in small town texas so he probably made $8-$14 an hour so he spent so much of his father's hours on that shit. Just a different perspective as well to add on the pain.
No way Hank was making that little money. He was an Assistant Manager at a successful business. Buck may be an ass, but he's not a tight ass. He definitely pays Hank what he's worth. Hank is able to live comfortably in a three bedroom home and allow his wife to work intermittently as a substitute teacher. Yes he's a penny pincher, but there's not really any time in the series where he simply "can't afford" to do something. He's plenty comfortable. But yes, Bobby's ignorance of how much he truly makes and how much they spend was painful.
@@Kaboomboo this is back in the day in small town rickety ass arlen. As a small town Texan he could have easily made only that. The $8 is a lowball but 10-14 is highly accurate. This is the same man that paid sticker price for a car.
Hank doesn't make minimum wage. Most Texans don't because IT IS STUPID TO BE SATISFIED WITH A MINIMUM WAGE JOB FOR LIFE NO MATTER THE RATE! Minimum wage is meant for students and secondary incomes for fucks sake.
"Hey babe, Shady Doorags just uploaded."
Great video! Please make more! I totally agree with you about stealing from the rich. Dumbasses act like it’s some secret loophole, and it’s NOT. Stealing from ANYONE is wrong. Um, I’m gonna get down from my soapbox now cuz I’m scared of heights…
I always related to Bobby as a kid. Despite being a girl and growing up in Indiana instead of Texas my family was pretty similar to the Hills the main difference being we didn't live in a suburb. Shows like this, even in their rougher spots are good to help fill that space because you don't see that in modern shows often. You see flawed families but, I never related to Full House because I was an only child, and I never related to disney channel families because I was usually a lot more poor than they were. Bobby however I WAS him in cases. I'm autistic, I'm bisexual in a family that's Christian, I grew up in a country-ish family that a lot of people don't have respect for, my family has prejudices they have problems I can't actually do anything about but, just like Bobby I don't hate them. I get frustrated, I mess up and I learn from those fuck ups but, that's a good thing.
Just recently discovered this channel and I am already hooked by your KOTH videos. I love how you make your points and support them so eloquently. Looking forward to exploring more of your videos, sir!
11:36 - And be glad he's not mine, I'd be seriously considering stamping his Jesus passport and asking for a replacement.
Funny, I JUST watched this episode the other day and thought "Shaddy shoulda did a video on this one instead of the Bobby day job one, it tackles those topics much more directly."
One thing I do slightly disagree on is that Bobbys blabbing justified Hank not telling him about family finances. I think the episode more or less illustrates that at least part of the reason Bobby told his friends is because of the magnitude of the secret being discovered and how long it had been kept under wraps. Through the lens of a 13 year old kid who is ignorant of money believing that that you found out that your dad has secretly been a millionaire for your entire life is big news. Especially when contrasted to the blue collar surroundings Bobby has been raised in. He jumped to such a radical conclusion that he was absolutely going to tell his friends. Conversely at the end of the episode upon the realization of the Hills average-ness it seems Bobby wised up and didnt actually blab the full details of the Hills finances to anyone. All of this could have been avoided if Hank had trusted and more importantly respected Bobby to inform him of how money works in the first place.
To be fair, I think that a lot of people perceived stealing from your parents differently from stealing from other people
An underrated lesson for sure. Growing up, I didn't realize my parents were decently well off and it wasn't until I was mouthing off (not really understanding the implications) at school about it with friends and they started calling me "rich girl." And we weren't rich, but my parents lived within their means and had disposable income. Sadly, that made me and other kids in the same situation easy targets for theft. I must have gone through 4 cell phones in high school because people kept stealing from me. And I'm sure they justified it in their heads that "well her parents will just buy her another one." Sadly, my own brother stole from me too, knowing my mom and dad would replace what was stolen, but it didn't make me any less angry. It's not about replacing what was taken, it's about having someone just yoink something that doesn't belong to them and thinking it's okay.
That being said, I just want to leave y'all with two things:
1. Mo money, mo problems isn't just a phrase.
2. My dad is white and if I ever mouthed off to Hank the way Bobby did in this episode, I wouldn't exist anymore lol
I knew a kid who had fairly rich parents. he said his dad's corvette cost $10,000. he said his lego set (same one I had for like $50) was 10,000 as well. he wasn't spoiled, he just had no understanding at all about money.
and if you think 'mo money, mo problems' then you've obviously never been poor. or mabye you have less problems when you are poor, but the problems are much more important. such as, wtf am I going to eat, and how am I going to pay rent?
if you have more problems when you have more money, you're doing it wrong.
@@Born_Stellar My friend, I have been poor. I supported myself while going to college and I definitely know the feeling of having to decide between using the AC or having enough food for the week. To save up change from a job where I got tips if I wanted to go out at all. Always making sure I have enough money for rent before anything else, day by day, it never leaving my mind. I know what it means to struggle.
But that is beside the point. That phrase mo money mo problems, is definitely true, but it's not to be interpreted as "if you make a lot of money, you're actually worse off." The phrase means that you shouldn't look to just having more money as the solution to all of your problems. It can certainly make your more immediate needs less daunting, but that doesn't mean you're going to have less problems. If you make more money, you're subject to paying more taxes, lifestyle inflation, and generally viewed as less sympathetic to your peers if they're in a different income bracket. You also become a bigger target for either theft or loans (as I mentioned in my original comment) which can cause strain if you tell them to back off. You may have to work more hours in a day and thus have less time to enjoy your own life or family/loved ones.
So just because the problems associated with having more money aren't as daunting or life threatening as living in poverty, that certainly doesn't mean they decrease in number either.
I respect you so much Shady. I legit believe that you should teach ethics (Deontology to be precise) at University level.
You're a good man.
I love that bit about how many people who have money have it due to choices. My friends (seemingly) often think of me as the rich one. In truth, I make very little. That said, I have always been good at saving money since I was a child. After I got my first real job, it only took me four years to buy my own house and have plenty of money left over. Meanwhile, my friends who make more live with their parents still or live with me. They also have next to no savings and are broke every next week.
You can't simply decide to make more money on a whim; that requires a better job or other source of income. You can decide to spend less and save for what matters though. Maybe that's one of the reasons that I always related to Hank.
I'm so glad I started watching this guy, he is by far one of the smartest and wittiest people on youtube
As someone who is staring down having to jump on disability (autism), that comment from Bobby kinda hurt.
2:00 The people at H&R Block are not professionals. I remember when the one near was raided for making meth in the back.
I can't believe this has to be said. STEALING IS WRONG. AND THATS A FACT.
Unless, of course, a drug dealer takes a bunch of drugs to hide them from the cops, predictably ODs while getting detained, and most of the black community freaks out.
5:42 that's a burn that didn't require any propane or propane accessories 🔥☠️
Family and Kid’s shows Teaching Actually Good Lessons
So Incredible
Beautiful Humanistic Vibe
13:19 Well yes, he's a salesman, but as Hank always says, he sells propane and propane accessories. He doesn't know about jetskis. It's easier to sell stuff that you actually understand, because your confidence will make your customers trust your judgement.
Late comment but here we go anyway:
"Do you have any idea how many people think it's okay to steal from someone just because they're rich, or just have insurance?"
Shad, there is an alarmingly growing number of people who think it's okay to do _worse_ to people for just being rich.
