EDIT

Episode Summary

While preparing for the big lawn mower races in Durndle, Hank experiences back trouble. When he goes to the doctor, he is told that he has a genetic disorder called Diminished Gluteal Syndrome (DGS), meaning that he has such a small rear end that it puts added stress on his spine. The doctor gives Hank a prosthetic butt to wear, but the shame of it is too much until Peggy gets him to go to a DGS support meeting.moreless

    This was a really good episode of King of the Hill. I gave it a higher rating because of the funny story and plot. The comedy was funny and I liked everyone in the episode. They all had a part that was funny and mixed well with the show. I thought that Dale was a complete waste in this episode. If I were Hank, I would have pounded his face into the ground for trying to ruin the mower contest. Bobby was funny, and Peggy actually didn't bother me for once. Overall, this was a good episode that was entertaining. Thank you.moreless

    • Bill (about a lawn mower riding competition): I'm trying to lose weight so I have a better chance in the mower race.
      Hank: Well, Bill, you could lose 100 pounds and you still wouldn't be able to take a corner like me.
      Bill: Well, I've got news for you. I could never lose 100 pounds... Edit
    • Dale: Keep talking, bubble butt! Bill: I wasn't saying anything. Dale: Not you, I was talking to Hank. Edit
    • Peggy: You have one butt cheek slightly larger than the other, just like my feet. Hank: Yeah, we're made for each other. Edit
