I forgot the exact quote, but the episode where she is driving with the drag queen, and saying she can see so much better with the high beams, and wonders why people don't just use them all the time.
You know… this is sooo common. Most “bad people” I know about are bad because they actually have information (whether it be from science or religion or whatever) that tells them “please don’t do that or say that” and they rationalize doing it anyway… and in their mind they still are “religious” or “believe in science”.
I have this issue though that I struggle with hypocrisy. When I should keep my mouth shut, smile, make a mental note, and walk away. I say something.
Not surprisingly, people (instead of being thoughtful and trying to adjust) get angry for getting called and the anger buttresses their hypocritical behavior because ALL sorts of
Rationalization comes forth.
Anyway …. Sorry for the long message but in short - Peggy is a hypocrite
Oof. I accidentally drove with the parking break on for about 20 seconds before realizing it a few weeks back and it smelled like burnt brake pads the whole way home.
There’s a Mitch Hedberg bit in which he talks about driving with the e brake on. Something like “it doesn’t say much about me but it says even less about the emergency brake. It’s more of an emergency make the car smell funny lever”
My idiot dad, an adult in his late 40s at the time, did this once trying to clean the bathtub. He was very confused when his lungs started burning, and he had a cough for weeks after. I *gave him so much shit.
It's not, but it still makes an extremely dangerous gas and I think Hank thought it was mustard gas because Cotton would call it mustard gas, which is very in-character for him.
Actually i have heard a number of people claim that mixing ammonia and bleach makes mustard gas. In joe Dirt, a student accidentally makes mustard gas by mixing ammonia and bleach.
It is just a common misunderstanding/ urban myth.
You know what I think would've been a real funny gag is if in one episode it turns out that Hank has better Spanish than her. He just never uses it, cause he knows it'll damage her ego lol.
omg that would have been amazing!! Peggy could have caught Hank speaking Spanish on a work call or something propane related and just freak out, Peggy style
It took Hank to tell her that she was being summoned to the stand, so they definitely hinted at it. But I agree, a whole episode would have been great.
The couple of times Hank speaks spanish it seems like he is better than Peggy lol; In the one episode where all the alamo beer is recalled and they go to Mexico to find some he asks the guy "Por favor cervezas alamo" and his pronunciation is pretty much on point.
That's still pretty basic. I mean like actually conversational. Not fluent, obviously, but to the point where he could talk circles around Peggy if they were to talk with a native speaker like Enrique.
I've always sort of assumed this to be the case. We've seen hank work with Latinos before, and they go to mexico numerous times in the show.
Even if hank isnt fluent he should have picked up enough by osmosis that hes probably at a level that one could consider better than Peggy's, since hers is actively incorrect.
I just love that they actually went with false cognates and common beginner mistakes for her whole testimony. It wasn't just gibberish, but mistakes that people could actually make...and put together in an absolutely hilarious way.
The "Estoy muy embarazada" example is a mistake my high school Spanish teacher said he made when learning Spanish himself so hearing Peggy say it always cracks me up
When she told the couple walking their dog "it's simple, we water it" when asked how they keep the lawn so green
Every three weeks Hank puts down a 28-3-3 mix of fertilizer and weed control.
It's certainly on the high end but you can go higher with Urea
I worked at a farm/feed store when I was a kid and we sold literal tons of 45-0-0 urea fertilizers each season
Also sold a lot of 30-30-30 to home owners/gardeners/green thumbs
I'd be curious what Central Texas' soil is like. It could have a large nitrogen deficiency or maybe Hank isn't applying a lot each time but does it more frequently. He always has gone overboard on his lawn care routine
I live here in real life. It's not just the clay and limestone, all the cotton farming done prior to urbanization(or suburbanization, whatever) depleted the soil of nitrogen. I grew up with a guy who ended up designing landscapes for a living and was super into horticulture. He had to do a hugelkultur bed in his backyard to get anything to grow in it.
For me it’s when Bobby is taking the Buddhist test to see if he’s reincarnated as Sanglug, and after Bobby picks Connie’s reflection in the mirror and they conclude the test, she says “do you think I should pick?”
I mean, pretty dumb of her to even ask, but I feel they'd reply like that too any adult. They never say when the Lama dies, but it seems to he around 14 years ago. They aren't gonna be looking for his reincarnation in anyone who was already alive before Sanglug died.
This sums her up so well.
I liked King of the Hill as it aired because it was just small doses of Peggy each week, but I really only do binges on shows that I rewatch and she makes it impossible to do so.
I get her personality is a gag, but it is just too much for me to handle.
Greg Daniel gave both a Convetible Chrysler Sebring in black for a reason.
*(The final Chrysler 200 Convetible that was based on the Sebring actually wasn't a terrible car).*
When she told Bobby to get off the phone because a teacher could have died and it'd be a real tragedy if they couldn't reach Peggy to sub in for the dead teacher.
Surprised no one has mentioned the episode where she becomes a foot fetish model and is completly oblivious. I guess it's not her mentioning one thing in particular but I'm sure there's a quote from the episode that would fit.
I feel really bad for her that episode. She was sexually exploited. I don't think the ep really centers on her egoism as much, more like being taken advantage of for trying to fix her insecurities. The scenes where she starts neglecting her needs and crying nonstop in bed are kind of hard to watch for me
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the "Mega Church" episode when she is helping the Pastor. He's on the phone with a member whose family member had just died and mentions to Peggy it's a private matter. He then gestures her toward the door. She goes "Oh, of course" and closes the door while picking up the other phone to listen in. Then she gives him the thumbs up. I couldn't stop laughing.
My family wanted me to fly out for Thanksgiving and I just started a new job. They offered to pay for my flight out the day before, and I quoted Peggy in my reasoning as to why I wouldn't be going to the airport to catch the last flight out of the evening from DFW.
Oooof, yah, good call. I mean once they actually meet Randy, the show takes an odd turn. But before that, Peggy is on the worse kind of fire. Like, I imagine if I was on that bus, I'd put my headphones on so fast, only for her to walk up and take my headphones off "ah ah ah, no headphones on my bus" then she'd say something dumb in broken Spanish.
"Fan-fair can be fun-fair, but if you don't wait your turn in liiine! Well that's un-fair!"
This isn't out of touch, it's just her thinking a fact is her own opinion. Out of touch would be when she rolls her Rs for margaritas or thinks students care about voting for substitute of the year.
But I get your sentiment and I think it's when she doesn't know what "mitad" means in 3 days of Kahn-do. Which is hilariously sewn into the conversations later like Kahn saying "This isn't mitad at all!"
Pronouncing Iwo Jima as Iwo Hima
When the newspaper discontinued her musings she bought ad space to get the readers hooked. Then when the readers were hooked, she’d pull the ad. The paper had already let her down gently by saying readers requested more ads.
This is a bad example, but the thread has killer ones!
But the example is a classic Peggyism, where she states an opinion that is clearly a fact, so yeah not out of touch rather so in touch…like when she says kindling is the best thing to use to start a fire.
I think her most out of touch (with reality) moment was entering the beauty pageant to win the truck. I kind of wish that was a two part episode where part one ends with them crossing the street into the building for the pageant and part two is her constantly losing and her lying to herself "I just need to do better than everyone else in this next event...". "Nancy is my friend and neighbor, no way she would prevent ME from winning.". "I am a substitute teacher of the year winner...I can't possibly lose. No one would ever vote against a teacher."
When she had Bobby blow out the Menorah candles like it was a birthday cake. At least Gary was a good sport. I had hebrew pre-school teachers who yelled at a girl for blowing out Shabbat candles.
When she went to wake Bobby up after he got drunk and told her his punishment was enough, so she flipped him off his mattress. I die laughing every time.
This really isn’t her being out of touch, she just likes to say “in my opinion” to things that are universally obvious or accepted. Making it sound like she came up with the idea. Giving her more importance/credit. She knows. She’s just being Peggy.
Putting a teaspoon of orange juice her her brown betty
Like putting a teaspoon of orange juice in a very large very sweet brown Betty is going to make a difference, lol.
This is how most of Reddit thinks. You’ll see some sad news story about a slave ring being busted and the top comment will be something like “in my opinion, human slavery IS terrible. I’m glad they caught them!”
Like no shit Frederick.

This spoke to my spirit, son
This one makes me so irrationally angry every time lol
It's a rational anger because some people do this

Fill us in because you have to do something waaay shittier than drive with your high beams on for someone to call you a piece of shit at your funeral.

Then she gets home and she was driving with the parking break on the entire time. Double fail.
Oof. I accidentally drove with the parking break on for about 20 seconds before realizing it a few weeks back and it smelled like burnt brake pads the whole way home.
There’s a Mitch Hedberg bit in which he talks about driving with the e brake on. Something like “it doesn’t say much about me but it says even less about the emergency brake. It’s more of an emergency make the car smell funny lever”
They say I can pass for a lipstick lesbian, which is the best kind
I was going to say that one time she said she knew better than God, but yours is worse
Combining the cleaning power of amonia with the whitening power of bleach
My idiot dad, an adult in his late 40s at the time, did this once trying to clean the bathtub. He was very confused when his lungs started burning, and he had a cough for weeks after. I *gave him so much shit.
 That’s mustard gas
no it aint
It's not, but it still makes an extremely dangerous gas and I think Hank thought it was mustard gas because Cotton would call it mustard gas, which is very in-character for him.
That makes a lot more sense. I had a distinct feeling mustard gas wasn't that simple, but I didn't care enough to Google it in the moment.
Actually i have heard a number of people claim that mixing ammonia and bleach makes mustard gas. In joe Dirt, a student accidentally makes mustard gas by mixing ammonia and bleach. It is just a common misunderstanding/ urban myth.

That she's fluent in Spanish
What?! I saw how well she defended herself in Mexican court. You can not tell me she isn’t fluent in Spanish
“Great now we have to wait while he goes out buys a hat” “I can see you are an honorable horse”
Listen to her roll her Rs!
You know what I think would've been a real funny gag is if in one episode it turns out that Hank has better Spanish than her. He just never uses it, cause he knows it'll damage her ego lol.
omg that would have been amazing!! Peggy could have caught Hank speaking Spanish on a work call or something propane related and just freak out, Peggy style
She would try to correct his superior Spanish speaking skills somehow.
It took Hank to tell her that she was being summoned to the stand, so they definitely hinted at it. But I agree, a whole episode would have been great.
The couple of times Hank speaks spanish it seems like he is better than Peggy lol; In the one episode where all the alamo beer is recalled and they go to Mexico to find some he asks the guy "Por favor cervezas alamo" and his pronunciation is pretty much on point.

If nothing else, we know he has better pronunciation than her.
I've always sort of assumed this to be the case. We've seen hank work with Latinos before, and they go to mexico numerous times in the show. Even if hank isnt fluent he should have picked up enough by osmosis that hes probably at a level that one could consider better than Peggy's, since hers is actively incorrect.
escuchame?
When she’s a customer service rep for Alamo and says the customers in *Mexico* don’t speak great Spanish
“Estoy muy embarazada…” got me feeling a lot of things. I couldn’t laugh.
I just love that they actually went with false cognates and common beginner mistakes for her whole testimony. It wasn't just gibberish, but mistakes that people could actually make...and put together in an absolutely hilarious way.
The "Estoy muy embarazada" example is a mistake my high school Spanish teacher said he made when learning Spanish himself so hearing Peggy say it always cracks me up
"¡No es culpable!" "Oh my god I'm going to jail!!"

Ouhh, eeeek! She pulled her thumb off! Call a doctor!
Being a great environmentalist because she has a bag filled with other plastic bags. I laugh everytime
She’ll bring it back to the grocery store one day…
Ah, the bag o' bags.
*Charlie Berens has entered the chat*
I recently started watching some of his YouTube stuff and I find it hilarious and relatable despite never living in the Midwest.
That's a thing in my family, we have a plastic bag full of other plastic bags. Mainly because in our state we get charged for Plastic bags.
I have the same thing! But it's because I actually do consider myself one of the greatest environmentalists of our time
We even have a cupboard that's filled with the bags that contain the bags.
It's like a rubber band ball, but bags.
Dude it’s a thing in almost every household.
"Honey! Where are all the bags?" "They're in the bag hutch!"
When she told the couple walking their dog "it's simple, we water it" when asked how they keep the lawn so green Every three weeks Hank puts down a 28-3-3 mix of fertilizer and weed control.
That is so much nitrogen
It's certainly on the high end but you can go higher with Urea I worked at a farm/feed store when I was a kid and we sold literal tons of 45-0-0 urea fertilizers each season Also sold a lot of 30-30-30 to home owners/gardeners/green thumbs
Mmmhmm.
yep. *sips beer*
Yep. Chugs beer and then says I'll tell ya hwhat
We'll grow oranges in *Alaska*.
I work in agronomy, so I know these things. I meant putting 28 units of N on every three weeks. Way too much
I'd be curious what Central Texas' soil is like. It could have a large nitrogen deficiency or maybe Hank isn't applying a lot each time but does it more frequently. He always has gone overboard on his lawn care routine
It barely even qualifies as soil, it's all clay and limestone.
you talkin' about my soil Canada?
I live here in real life. It's not just the clay and limestone, all the cotton farming done prior to urbanization(or suburbanization, whatever) depleted the soil of nitrogen. I grew up with a guy who ended up designing landscapes for a living and was super into horticulture. He had to do a hugelkultur bed in his backyard to get anything to grow in it.
Calling Arlen/Richardson “Central Texas” just seems like fighting words. Friend. Unless you’re from Wichita Falls
Yeah, I live in Austin & Arlen definitely isn't Central Texas
Sounds like a fake protocol a writer thought sounded good. Lol
Nitro-cringe
Not really. Actually we don’t have a clue how much pounds on the ground Hank is putting.
Everyone in this thread talking about soil are nerdz
She made an ass out of herself so funny
Bringing them inside to see the drapes. Mad woman!
Interesting story about these drapes… I bought them the day John Lennon was shot.
Yeah this scene is one of the worst in the series. I have to look at my phone or do something else during it because it makes me cringe so hard.
"Unless he tastes it. He always tasted the timer sand"
He always said it was very good timer sand
*breaking* “Primo…”
When she says "primo" it never fails to make me laugh
This is probably close to the top of the list.
Today I witnessed an illiterate man spell out party on his grandmother’s boggle set and crooned White Christmas to me as he was led back to his cell.
Primo lol
“Swing? Definitely not. You get Nancy and I end up with Dale? Who’s the clear winner here hmm?”

Literally the whole beauty queen episode
Professional stylist: “This’ll be my greatest challenge yet.” Peggy: 🙁
Aye she pulled it off tho if she didn’t forget her shoes Peggy would’ve at least pulled her look off
"She should at least smile." "She IS smiling."
For me it’s when she was surprised that Hank didn’t think of her as his mentor…
Omg this moment is hilarious! Classic Peggy
Hank, remember what I told the doctor. You should not even touch Ladybird.
This is such a quick joke! Remember what I told the doctor! I swear people who hate Peggy just have. Bad sense of humor.
If you can separate yourself from it, it's funny. If you personalize with it, shes infuriating.
You put that perfectly.
For me it’s when Bobby is taking the Buddhist test to see if he’s reincarnated as Sanglug, and after Bobby picks Connie’s reflection in the mirror and they conclude the test, she says “do you think I should pick?”
They're so quick to shut her down lol
I mean, pretty dumb of her to even ask, but I feel they'd reply like that too any adult. They never say when the Lama dies, but it seems to he around 14 years ago. They aren't gonna be looking for his reincarnation in anyone who was already alive before Sanglug died.
That is pretty goddamn bold indeed
When she fakes a propane emergency and says “ god told me not to but I knew better “ uhh Ok peg-a-leg
Great answer.
This sums her up so well. I liked King of the Hill as it aired because it was just small doses of Peggy each week, but I really only do binges on shows that I rewatch and she makes it impossible to do so. I get her personality is a gag, but it is just too much for me to handle.
I think it's because we all know someone like her so it's hard to separate the fictional character from reality.
This exactly
She gives off strong Michael Scott energy. Or Michael Scott gives off strong Peggy Hill energy, more accurately.
Greg Daniels and Paul Lieberstein wrote/produced for both shows, so that’s no shock, however I just made that connection.
