  Husky Bobby shows us something new about Hank and Peggy. They are completely unaware of Bobby's obesity and must now take him to a plus size store with surprising results. hide show

  The Hills are out on a shopping trip and Bobby can't seem to fit that same old stuff anymore. The store clerk gives them some advise on how to find his "husky" size elsewhere and Bobby gets immediately noticed at the new plus-size store. The store owner (to Hanks dismay)wants to put Bobby Hill into a newspaper ad for husky children's clothes; of course Bobby laps up the attention.
  
  
  **SPOILERS**
  
  
  
  
  So Bobby Hill goes to the photo shoot along with his cousin Luanne as the driver; though Hank didn't actually give his permission. Bobby rushes home to show his father the photos slated for the next day's newspaper advertisement and Hank flips his lid. He phones the store owner angrily and gives him a piece of his mind. Bobby ends up making a good bit of pocket cash out of this job and even gets invited to a real live fashion show to model on the catwalk in the mall. Tune in for the full story.

• This episode contained no Tag Line [edit]

• (Hank catches Luanne in bed with Buckley)
  Hank: I'm in a crisis situation here! I've gotta go find Bobby, you two take turns kicking each others' asses! [edit]
• Bobby: (Trying on larger pants) Mom, am I fat?
  Peggy: No, uh-uh Bobby, honey. You are 'husky'. See, it says so right here on the inside of the waistband. [edit]

• Hank: I'm trying to contain an epidemic and you're driving the monkey to the airport!
  
  When Hank says that Peggy is encouraging Bobby's excitement while he is trying to discourage it, his analogy is a reference to the movie Outbreak, which starred Dustin Hoffman. The movie was based on a Robin Cook novel about a deadly virus that spreads fast and infects thousands of people in the United States. The virus was spread by African monkeys. [edit]
• Coppertone girl: The scene when Hank sees a picture of a dog pulling Bobby's shorts down on the beach. Is like the famous picture on tubes of Coppertone sunscreen where a dog is pulling a little Girl's shorts down. [edit]
