How can this show be so consistantly hillarious?

They are so dead on correct/ funny about everything. I'm watching the episode where they are in Tokyo with Hank's step brother.

Fuggin funny as hell.

I never know when the show is on, but whenever I watch it, it is always funny.

I think KOTH is stupid- just like the Red State Republicans the show represents. It's tragic how these poor, poor tools can settle for a mundane life of selling propane when life has so much more to offer. That show makes me want to immigrate to Canada.

Holy crap, yes, it's a great show.  Anyone who doesn't find it funny is really only watching it at the shallowest level.  For example, Peggy Hill is one of the best characters.  On the outside, she's a succesful substitute spanish teacher with a loving family.

In reality, she's a very poor teacher.  She teaches spanish, but she can't speak a word for it and the only reason nobody ever fired her is because she doesn't sub long enough.  SHE thinks that she's a great speaker, part of what makes it so hilarious.  She's painfully competetive, even with her own son to the point where she'll say something that uses her motherly knowledge of her sons fears just to win an argument or spite him.

Her mannerisms are brilliant.  She'll take facts and say that they are her opinion to make herself look important.  For example:  "In my opinion, the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year."  She thinks far better of herself then she should, to the point of bragging about her 'Pegsgetti and meatballs', which is just spaghetti and meatballs with sugar added.

This is just one example of a cast that's full of colorful characters.  A very richly written show.  I've found that most people who don't like it don't bother watching long enough to see just how messed up everyone in the show is.

I understand... I didn't watch long enough to see anything but the shallow humor.

Of course... it's a cartoon, so my threshold of pain is pretty low to begin with.

That's what I figure. There are so many hillarious, subtle things it just cracks me up every time.

Peggy Hill is a painful reminder of how Republican policies have deteroriated our public school system. I watched an episode of KOTH where Peggy was butchering Spanish and, in spite of the show being a cartoon, I wept at the substandard education the poor children were receiving.

That show is painful.
