The ‘King of the Hill’ Pitch Trailer Is A Perfect Time Capsule

The two-minute teaser is somehow both a nostalgia bomb and a perfect representation of who the Hills continue to be almost three decades later.

Fans of Zach Galifianakis is a must-watch for anyone interested in King of the Hill.
When King of the Hill returns on Hulu, we hope that Hank and his family will finally secure one of those sponsorships that he’s been eyeing since before his show even went on air — though, at 66 years old, hopefully he’s not gnawing on those Wonder Bread bacon grease sandwiches anymore. Cotton may have gotten by without knees, but Hank still needs a heart.
