Episode Summary

EDIT
The episode opens innocently enough with Bobby's girlfriend Connie inviting him over to add some spark to her dying slumber party. But after Bobby's beaten up by a crasher, Hank urges him to enroll in a boxing class at the Y. That class is full, so Bobby enrolls in the next best thing: women's self-defense. There, he quickly masters the technique of targeting an attacker below the belt.moreless

  • One of the Most Normal Episodes

    This episode is very hilarious. It is easily one of the most well easily quoted episodes of the series.



    Bobby starts becoming a bully, kicking people's groins, a move he learned at a women's self-defense course. But soon he goes overboard- probably around the time he kicks Hank's groin.



    So, Bobby is punished, but he realizes {with some help from Kahn} that since Hank cannot get up, Bobby can be the man of the house.



    So Bobby and Peggy get in a fight over a Gameboy, and when Bobby tries to kick Peggy's groin, he realizes women don't have testicles- or at least Peggy doesn't.



    A hilarious episodemoreless
  • Bobby needs to take a class so he can fight his own battles. He goes to one that teacthes him to fight by kicking testicles. After Bobbly becomes a bully Hank must teach Bobby not to fight that way which leads Bobby to rebel and cause major pain for Hank.moreless

    This episode is Hill-arious (sorry I couldn't resist). This is brillant writting and a perfect example of how animated sitcoms have more freedom than live action sitcoms. I don't think this episode would be half as good live. This is one of those stories where the plot is out of the ordinary but still believable, which is what King of the Hill does best. I can honestly say that this is my favorite episode for its clever dialouge and laugh out loud moments. I cracked up every time Bobby sayed "that's my purse" and "I don't know you". If you havent seen this episode yet I highly suggest you do.moreless
  • I never stopped being entertained.

    This was one of the funniest King of the Hill episodes of the entire series. It was absolutely hilarious. I have to say that the writers did a nice job with the plot and the comedy was great. Everything played out so well and it was really entertaining from beginning to end. I can't choose my favorite parts because there are so many to choose from. One of my favorites had to be where Bobby kicks Hank. Another would have to be where he kicks Peggy, but nothing happens. The look on Bobby's face was classic! Overall, this episode was wonderfully hilarious. Thank you.moreless
  • Bobby learns to kick low, Hank tries to make him unlearn the lesson and should regret it.

    One of my favorite episodes.



    Personally, I have grown to dislike Hank more and more as the seasons progress, since he acts so ignorant and obnoxious, especially towards Bobby (fine parenting, Hank; try and force the kid into being mini-Hank, which will ultimately drive him away).



    Sorry, back to the point.



    One of my favorite parts is Hank's misguided attempts to teach Bobby to hit above the belt, only Hank forgets the boy is no jock, so Bobby gets mad and nails Hank with a low kick.



    Like I said, there have been so many episodes that make me despise Hank that I love moments like that.moreless

    This episode starts out when Bobby goes over to Connie’s house to brighten up her sleep over. Then Chine comes over and starts picking on Bobby and makes him eat dirt. Next Bobby takes a women’s self defense class at the YMCA and goes around kicking people in the groin like Hank, and Chain. At the end of the episode Hank was teaching Bobby how to fight above the belt and Bobby kicks him right in the groin. After Hank punches Bobby he goes over to Connie’s house and Connie’s dad Con tells him he should not listen to Hank. So Bobby goes up to him and starts to play a game in front of him. So Peggy takes over for Hank and fights Bobby.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (0)

  • QUOTES (12)

    • Kahn: I heard what you did to Chane Wasonasong. Unforgivable! But then I heard what you did to your father. Very funny. So I'm conflicted.

    • Bill: I wish I had a son to kick me in the nuts.
      (Dale kicks Bill in the groin)
      Dale: Be careful what you wish for.

    • Peggy: What about... the other one?
      Medic: We can't find it. But there's no cause for alarm. It'll probably turn up once the swelling goes down.

    • Clark: What are you gonna do? Are you gonna kick me in the nads?
      Bobby: Am I gonna do it? Yes. When am I gonna do it? Don't know. Could be tomorrow -- now! (Bobby kicks Clark between the legs) One thing you'll find out about me, Clark, is that I'm not a very patient person.

    • Bobby: I didn't go looking for trouble. Trouble came a-knockin' and Bobby Hill's foot answered the door.

    • Joseph: My dad says that whenever you're in a jail-type situation, the best way to survive is to take out the biggest guy there. That way you establish who's boss right from the get-go. Or you can hang yourself with your pants. He says that's another way to go.

    • Hank: Well, all right, son! You know, that Chane Wasonasong must know all kinds of Oriental martial arts, and you beat him with good old American YMCA know-how.

    • Bobby: That's my purse! I don't know you!

    • Kahn: Bobby Hill, out the window! Chane, you and your friends may use the door.

    • Susan: I'd leave, but I already paid your dad for the continental breakfast.

    • Bobby: You can't punish me!
      Hank: I'll tell you what I can't do - sleep on my stomach! But I can sure as heck punish you!

    • Peggy: (after being kicked between her legs) Ladies don't have testicles. Where's your secret weapon now?
