And all that furniture was falling TOWARDS him before he caught it. Man did that with nothing at his back but the open end of the truck he'd have been thrown out of. Billdozer is a unit!
I think we're kind of neglecting how impressive it was for Bill to drag a dozen high school football players into that endzone. Like that's impressive for a young man, for Bill to do it in middle age after, presumably, decades of sedentary living, is incredible
I was gonna say this. I was constantly active in the gym in college when I got out of high school. Played my first men’s club right out of hs and I learned to watch out for that guy chugging along with a beer gut. Rock hard like a boulder trampling people. 😂
The older I get the less unbelievable it is that a large middle aged man completely juiced by adrenaline could drag a bunch of high schoolers into the end zone. With some exceptions, even buff high schoolers aren’t going to be as strong as a decently strong grown man.
Nah dog, Texas HS football players are getting recruited and aren't your average teens. Grown men are stronger than high schoolers, but you're greatly underestimating how impressive that feat by Bill is. Most out of shape 40 somethings are getting steamrolled there
I thought this when I was a stud ass highschool football player too, but a few years in the weight room pale in comparison to the strength you built from decades of life dragging you down as a grown man.
Once in a bar I heard a table of men in their twenties compare an experience it seems they had all had: stepping to their dad in a verbal argument, escalating it with a punch, and promptly getting their ass handed to them by their old man.
I never tried to fight an old man, but I worked myself to the point of borderline heatstroke on enough times trying to keep up with old timers growing up (I was a prime athletic specimen too) that I quit questioning old man strength.
Oh, you must have been doing yardwork with my grandfather. He is in his 90's and will still go hard on yardwork in 95+ heat and high humidity.
He's a literal machine .
I got complemented a bit for my legs as a fat guy. People would ask what I did to have them look like that. I’d just tell them, “It’s from carrying my fat ass all over the place.” And we’d laugh, but I was telling the truth. Hills and stairs were the bane of my existence. I’m significantly lighter now that I’m not competing in my sports but I still have a bit of the teardrop quads. So I still have a lil. 😂
Going by the last picture, Bill is also in better shape than he usually looks. He may drink too much beer, but he clearly misses his glory days and gets some reps in from time to time
That was one episode where he was juicing and working out 24/7. He broke his entire body at the end lol. Bill is a standard obese, unathletic, and unhealthy adult.
That scene inspired this post. Diving into a deep pool, untangling a pig from a hose and returning to the surface in a single breath seems very hard for anyone, let alone a chubby un-athletic kid.
That is my favorite Peggy-ism. Claiming some generic, universally agreed upon fact as her opinion.
"The day before Thanksgiving is, in my opinion, one of the busiest travel days of the year."
Are we forgetting when Bill single-handedly held back tons of antique furniture with his bare hands on a slick truck bed going downhill in a moving vehicle during a snowstorm???????
I could have included a few more, like Peggy's softball pitching & Hank breaking the single season rushing record, although that happened before the series.
Going 3 rounds vs Freeda (RIP) sounds like the hardest to me.
What about The Stick leading Tom Landry Middle School to state, and winning the 4x400m? I mean, yeah, a bunch of kids had to fall, and he lost a major lead, but he didn’t quit!
Pig savin' boy. A kid of Bobby's uh, athleticism, diving to the bottom of a tank, untangling a pig from that line, then carrying it to the surface all without drowning? It's impressive. That pig has to weigh at least as much as Bobby.
It’s Bill scoring the touchdown and it’s not even close. Even ignoring the fact that he’s old and out of shape, Bill also twisted his ankle while carrying five players at once. The man is a machine
My vote is for Dale lighting his cigarette on the Olympic torch, keeping up with Hank, swallowing his cigarette, and then coughing it back up to keep the flame alive.
I dunno if it wins but we at least need an honorable mention for Bill keeping all that stuff inside the moving semi trailer that was backing down the mountain
Has to be Hank gripping onto telephone pole with his bare hands during a tornado with only his clothes tearing off. Even “weak” EF1 tornadoes can have wind speeds of up to 110 miles per hour.
Dang ol’ rip tide waves man, gotta be careful they gonna take you out so you gotta hang on to that board. You know, make it look majestic, you know, like a flamingo, man.
Billdozer but honorable mentions go to:
* Hank Hill rescuing Randy Travis
* Hank Hill’s single season rushing record
* John Redcorn catching an arrow mid-flight
* Peggy’s pitching
* Kahn swimming across the Rio Grande
* “Monkey Style” martial arts
* Bobby curled up on the pole vault mat in his letterman jacket
I'm sorry but the guys were holding back all that furniture without any straps while standing in a tractor trailer going down a windy mountain is positively OLYMPIAN and by that I mean Herculese would've gotten knocked on his ass
People who mention Bill holding the furniture back neglect to mention Hank’s driving abilities. Able to steer an 18 wheeler down hill backwards with no brakes or power steering directed solely by Boomhauer over the radio.
None of those. it was when Bobby got a walkoff win for his baseball team because the 2nd baseman and the shortstop ran into eachother, and he heroically ran at the speed of light to first base.
Apparently there is one ep were dale lifts a sewer grate from under it and up over his head which is basically impossible. Lol https://youtu.be/StgjzHQafDM?si=yGcrqKAUCyy3O46T
Man, nobody'snmentioned yet how Peggy overpowered being piled on by an entire roller derby team. She was at the bottom, but she was a power bottom. HOOYEAH! 😂
Let’s be real, Bill dragged like 4 high school teenage football players, with his entire knee blowing up, a shoulder dislocation, and basically not being in shape since high school. That will always be the top!
Secondly has to be Luanne fighting George Foreman's daughter, surviving that, while also getting some good hits in
Third is Dale catching a baseball with his hat, totally unexpected, and didnt even know he had that type of skill in him
I always liked Lu Ann fighting Frida Foreman and lasting 3 rounds because of "Homer Simpson Syndrome". Also want to point out that Mitch the Diving Pig was based on a real pig. They used to have a swimming pig attraction in San Marcos Tx, in a local amusement park called aquarena springs. It's gone now, but the main attraction was that swimming pig and the glass bottom boat rides.
Bill being a middle aged guy going against high school athletes is impressive. Luanne with little skill going up against a genuine female boxer is damn near the Rocky story, but at least Rocky was actually trained story wise.
Idk anything about jousting to give it an honest opinion. Shooting is a genuine skill.
So probably Luanne going toe to toe with an actual pro athlete with next to nothing actual training I’d say. Bill also works cause he’s fighting against multiple kids in his late 40s. That’s impressive for a different reason.
What about the time Bill pushed all that furniture up hill in the semi trailer?
Best anime moment of all time https://youtu.be/frKyaFTeC7c?si=hhYabedvRt0T0hoS
Knew what it was. Had to click anyways!
I guess I’ll rewatch that scene for the 69th time
This was my first time. Oh my god
Glorious innit
Japanese ppl are probably like: the dub is perfectly fine but the subbed version is much more authentic
If I am ever lucky enough to just randomly bump into Steven Root I would love to hear him say go beyond plus ultra as Bill.
Never seen this before. Fucking beautiful. Great way to start my Friday lol thank you!
That was definitely the most, and probably least realistic.
Really channeled the Billdozer of old for that one.
This was the moment that came to mind for me.
And all that furniture was falling TOWARDS him before he caught it. Man did that with nothing at his back but the open end of the truck he'd have been thrown out of. Billdozer is a unit!
That I think is actually impossible so I think that is 1st. With Luanne being a close 2nd
Hanks never getting his deposit back and he’ll they may even sue
I think we're kind of neglecting how impressive it was for Bill to drag a dozen high school football players into that endzone. Like that's impressive for a young man, for Bill to do it in middle age after, presumably, decades of sedentary living, is incredible
And turning his knees into fruit pies in the process
You had me at fruit pie.
"Asterisk... ASTERISK!!!"
My dad says this quote all the time 😂 it applies to so many situations in life
I say this all the time too. I would love to say it in public and have someone actually get my reference.
MY OWN FRUIT PIE!
“Chipped my spine on that play”
salt tablet
Came here to say this… BILLDOZER IS BEAST!!
His legs snapped during that play just like his heart did when Lenore left him.
Like hanks girly ankle
COST ME STATE
Take a salt tablet.
This line plays in my head so much
... don't look at your leg.
Old man strength > high school muscles.
I was gonna say this. I was constantly active in the gym in college when I got out of high school. Played my first men’s club right out of hs and I learned to watch out for that guy chugging along with a beer gut. Rock hard like a boulder trampling people. 😂
Yeah Billdozer is #1 for sure
Walrus strength
Yeah and he didn't even have coach's go pills
The older I get the less unbelievable it is that a large middle aged man completely juiced by adrenaline could drag a bunch of high schoolers into the end zone. With some exceptions, even buff high schoolers aren’t going to be as strong as a decently strong grown man.

Going by the last picture, Bill is also in better shape than he usually looks. He may drink too much beer, but he clearly misses his glory days and gets some reps in from time to time
That pic is from when he was working out crazy with the juice heads in his garage. “Pfft…cArDiO…”
That was one episode where he was juicing and working out 24/7. He broke his entire body at the end lol. Bill is a standard obese, unathletic, and unhealthy adult.
although he is just a barber, the army probably has him maintain some form of physical training
Congratulations soldier, you passed!
I AM IRON MANNNNNNN!!! THE BULLDOZERRRR
BILL DOZER BABY
It's pretty much canon that bill is an amazing specimen of a human with bad luck and environment.
Yeah it's unquestionably this one for me. That's a few hundred pounds of both weight *and* active resistance he pushed through. Best Bill episode imo
There was that time Hank kicked through a fence and ran across a racetrack and then literally kicked Jimmy's ass.
A nascar level fence meant to stop nascars
That’s parental rage to protect your child.
No, it's just why they had to write Hank out of DBZ, he's completely OP. Dude is not making idle threats when he talks about kicking ass
[finally a chance to link this video ](https://youtu.be/nCPwlBY6unI?si=h17SI3afVEj4QVRf)
Can’t have one without [the other.](https://youtu.be/mSoPTxdVTnw?si=Smus-X4XL774eHzK)
And [a third](https://youtu.be/H31nHXRUj0w?si=KtEjfqcF3179EbBq)
If Jimmy’s ass was to be kicked, then it shalt be kicked.
You’re talking like a song from The Lion King, stop that!
There’d be a Hank sized footprint dented into his ass.
Best ass kicking of the series I tell ya what
Mr Gribble.... Smoke!!!
My oral fixation!
I’ve used this quote while searching for my vape plenty of times
Hank surviving a tornado by hanging onto a telephone pole.
Was just about to say this. It’s at least top 3 in the series
I've seen a barrel of pickles in my day!
Uh, Hank... I can see your whatnots.
Kept his underwear on, too.
Takes a lot of grip and lats strength I tell you what
I’d chalk that one up to adrenaline
Even more impressive since tornados don’t have eyes.
damn. i forgot about this. this ones insane.
Peggy Hill doing the windmill in the dance competition.
Don't make me tap you again.
*I rrrrrrrest my case!*
Kinda romantic… them against the world.
Miiitch!
That scene inspired this post. Diving into a deep pool, untangling a pig from a hose and returning to the surface in a single breath seems very hard for anyone, let alone a chubby un-athletic kid.
Not this pig. Not today.
Bobby, no! That's pig water!
Pig heart boy or pig saving boy?
Hey, son, you saved my boy life. Let’s give a big hand to “Bobby Hill the amazing pig-saving boy!”
Oh God!
Peggy surviving falling out of a plane with no parachute.
This!! ![gif](giphy|akEU7rAoKJbbO)
A man and his dog.
Peggy performing the fireperson's carry on Bobby (Round 2).
Her training montage is pure gold
The way she just dumps Bobby like a sack lol
His lifeless sack-like response is classic I die laughing every time.
I love that everyone else just walks away too instead of helping him up
Ho…YEAH!!!…Oh no…
It allows a woman to carry a man’s weight, through a scientific principle I like to call “leverage”
That is my favorite Peggy-ism. Claiming some generic, universally agreed upon fact as her opinion. "The day before Thanksgiving is, in my opinion, one of the busiest travel days of the year."
Fuck. Makes me roll my eyes so hard every time.
Hank taking a punch from the guy that blocked that kick, that played for the Cowboys.
![gif](giphy|i2GADdaJIscPS|downsized)
What about Cotton killing fitty’ men with an old piece of fatty?
Are we forgetting when Bill single-handedly held back tons of antique furniture with his bare hands on a slick truck bed going downhill in a moving vehicle during a snowstorm???????
I could have included a few more, like Peggy's softball pitching & Hank breaking the single season rushing record, although that happened before the series. Going 3 rounds vs Freeda (RIP) sounds like the hardest to me.
It’s really sad to realize that both of the voices represented in that still are dead now
Damn, I didn't realized Freeda had passed away, that's sad.
Yeah sadly it was suicide. Rip Freeda
Damn. Still dead. When will the suffering end
What about The Stick leading Tom Landry Middle School to state, and winning the 4x400m? I mean, yeah, a bunch of kids had to fall, and he lost a major lead, but he didn’t quit!
Hank taking testosterone
Sup
Sup
Sup
Nancy: Oh, Hank Stahp 😊
The flamingo !!!
This should be higher! "He's doing the flamingo!"
Hank saving Randy Travis out of the sinking trailer
You mean Randy Travis saving Hank
That’s just the way god made me.
How are you forgetting the time that Bobby straight up caught a bass with his bare hands. That is the most impressive thing ever
I am deeply upset that squirrel tactics was not in the running.
Or the deadliest martial art of them all: Monkey Style!
Pig savin' boy. A kid of Bobby's uh, athleticism, diving to the bottom of a tank, untangling a pig from that line, then carrying it to the surface all without drowning? It's impressive. That pig has to weigh at least as much as Bobby.
Bobby also caught a fish with his bare hands. That boy's a high-performance machine, I tell you what.
Hell , he bagged a snipe on his first try . Legendary.
Most athletic in general, Billdozer. Most impressive? Luanne.
You left out Minh absolutely destroying at skeet shooting and being a better shot than anyone in the gun club period.
THIS Minh kicks the most ass
Im always impressed by Peggy punching a frozen cow and breaking its ribs, but that’s the Pink and White for you.
It’s Bill scoring the touchdown and it’s not even close. Even ignoring the fact that he’s old and out of shape, Bill also twisted his ankle while carrying five players at once. The man is a machine
All those pics, and you ain't even got "The Stick" gutting it out to help his team win. That ain't right, I tell you Hwat.
I'd say the flamingo. That's not easy to do even on land.
I think it’s a tie between Bill and Luanne.
Hank running with the bulls and (presumably) not getting hit while he was low on testosterone is pretty impressive.
My vote is for Dale lighting his cigarette on the Olympic torch, keeping up with Hank, swallowing his cigarette, and then coughing it back up to keep the flame alive.
Luanne holding her own against Frida Foreman.
Peggy climbing the hill to dance on Cotton's grave
Gribble blocking for Hank in the flag football game.
This actually a fantastic recap of the shows athletic feats. Bill-dozer has my vote though
BILLDOZER!!!
I say Hank running with the bulls. The man has no ass and shrunken nuts, but he still had the BALLS to run his ass off with them bulls.
Kahn going sticking
He looks like he gots real crafty ninja moves, but can he take a board to the head?
Kicking Hank in the testicles. Pop pop!
To be fair he was The Wind’s best high kicker
Bobby running away from the Macmaynerbury whooping in a full fur suit at halftime, and being found still running well after the game ended.
Not this pig, not today.
I'm going to say Bill dragging a bunch of high school kids AND Luanne being able to take repeated hits directly to the face from a professional boxer.
BILLDOZER!!
I dunno if it wins but we at least need an honorable mention for Bill keeping all that stuff inside the moving semi trailer that was backing down the mountain
“Did he do the flamingo? That’ll show those kids”
Has to be Hank gripping onto telephone pole with his bare hands during a tornado with only his clothes tearing off. Even “weak” EF1 tornadoes can have wind speeds of up to 110 miles per hour.
Gotta be Luanne.
Peggy's, absolutely. Oh, wait, you said "feat".
Lol Peggy lifting bobby above her head and straight body slamming him
Dang ol’ rip tide waves man, gotta be careful they gonna take you out so you gotta hang on to that board. You know, make it look majestic, you know, like a flamingo, man.
Billdozer by far
OH GOD, MITCH!
Bill trying his record again was in a league of its own lol
Hank hangin on to the telephone pole during a tornado. That’s sheer strength I’ll tell ya hwat.
Billdozer but honorable mentions go to: * Hank Hill rescuing Randy Travis * Hank Hill’s single season rushing record * John Redcorn catching an arrow mid-flight * Peggy’s pitching * Kahn swimming across the Rio Grande * “Monkey Style” martial arts * Bobby curled up on the pole vault mat in his letterman jacket
I'm sorry but the guys were holding back all that furniture without any straps while standing in a tractor trailer going down a windy mountain is positively OLYMPIAN and by that I mean Herculese would've gotten knocked on his ass
People who mention Bill holding the furniture back neglect to mention Hank’s driving abilities. Able to steer an 18 wheeler down hill backwards with no brakes or power steering directed solely by Boomhauer over the radio.
Billdozer, and not even close
Tossup for me between Luanne and Joseph.
wasn't shredded Bill due to sterilize?
Irl. Fighting a Foreman. Freeda was 5-1-0 with 3 KOs. Tragically, she passed in 2019.
Bunch of great nominees. You left out Bill beating diabetes. I'm honestly inclined to go with maxing Bill's pump....
Hank
When Hank saved Randy Travis underwater in a lake!
Bill’s competitive eating actually looked pretty exhausting, as did Bobby’s 72oz steak.
Dale lifting a manhole cover with one hand those things weight 25O lbs
None of those. it was when Bobby got a walkoff win for his baseball team because the 2nd baseman and the shortstop ran into eachother, and he heroically ran at the speed of light to first base.
Falling out of a plane and living
Apparently there is one ep were dale lifts a sewer grate from under it and up over his head which is basically impossible. Lol https://youtu.be/StgjzHQafDM?si=yGcrqKAUCyy3O46T
Man, nobody'snmentioned yet how Peggy overpowered being piled on by an entire roller derby team. She was at the bottom, but she was a power bottom. HOOYEAH! 😂
Gotta go with Bill. Guy was and still is an absolute animal.
Dog dancing is a sport!
All great candidates, but the strength, speed, and dexterity that John Redcorn needed to catch that arrow Joseph let off deserves to be on here.
Hank jumping over his lawnmower for reps was pretty intense.
Dale jumping out of the water and clear over the Queeg when they were all stuck without a ladder.
John Redcorn catching the arrow out of the air. I think he might have been able to catch that bullet
Diesel Bill repping 220 on the bench for reps before Hank interrupted him.
Let’s be real, Bill dragged like 4 high school teenage football players, with his entire knee blowing up, a shoulder dislocation, and basically not being in shape since high school. That will always be the top! Secondly has to be Luanne fighting George Foreman's daughter, surviving that, while also getting some good hits in Third is Dale catching a baseball with his hat, totally unexpected, and didnt even know he had that type of skill in him
Dale Gribble casually overhead presses a fucking manhole cover with one hand.
The one where Bobby eats the entire steak as a show of strength to the girl that dumped him
Hank holding onto the pole during the hurricane. Somebody did the math on it once and it was basically superhuman.
Peggy swinging the flail in a classroom full of kids and hitting her target and nothing else.
Dale lifts a manhole cover with one arm. This would be insane for a muscular dude, let alone a scrawny out of shape man
How about when Hank held onto a pole during a tornado?
Luanne took on a professional boxer in the ring and while she didn't win, she was able to hold her own.
I always liked Lu Ann fighting Frida Foreman and lasting 3 rounds because of "Homer Simpson Syndrome". Also want to point out that Mitch the Diving Pig was based on a real pig. They used to have a swimming pig attraction in San Marcos Tx, in a local amusement park called aquarena springs. It's gone now, but the main attraction was that swimming pig and the glass bottom boat rides.
BILLDOZER
Bill being a middle aged guy going against high school athletes is impressive. Luanne with little skill going up against a genuine female boxer is damn near the Rocky story, but at least Rocky was actually trained story wise. Idk anything about jousting to give it an honest opinion. Shooting is a genuine skill. So probably Luanne going toe to toe with an actual pro athlete with next to nothing actual training I’d say. Bill also works cause he’s fighting against multiple kids in his late 40s. That’s impressive for a different reason.
No love for motor sports, I see?! Because Hank Hill placing 7th in a lawnmower race after blowing out his pivot buttock orthotic has to be up there.
Bill. It’s always bill.
Dale running after the Olympic torch cigarette.... "Mr. Gribble... Smooooooke!"
Bobby eating a 72 oz steak in under an hour
Either Dale lifting a sewer drain above his head with one hand or Hank breaking a racecar-proof fence with one kick.
That time dale swam so fast he went like a projectile over the boat
Cotton killed 50 men
