Can Peggy Speak Spanish

"Perfect"

By futuramarama, Nov 15, 2009

A Spanish field trip to Mexico turns bad when Peggy accidentally takes back home a Mexican girl named Lupe. When she figures this out, she returns her to Mexico, but everyone hates Peggy for kidnapping the girl.

This goes to court, and, in a hilarious final scene, Peggy, in her own Spanish, explains {or tries to explain} what really happened.

The episode ends with the Judge saying that she is not guilty {in Spanish}, and Peggy thinks he said she was.

This is surely a hilarious episode, if not for the finale few minutes in court. One of the best from season 6moreless

A funny, decent episode.

"Superb"

By cactusjack39, Jan 25, 2009

Usually I don't care much for Peggy Hill. I still don't after watching this episode. She is so stupid, so cocky, and so ignorant that it makes me want to change the channel whenever she is the main focus for an episode. This was a good episode as it exposed her for the idiot that she really is. She is awful in Spanish and she can't speak it worth anything. I say that she should have gone to jail, but she was bailed out by the writers. She adds nothing to the show and is too full of herself. The story was funny and I actually thought Peggy was funny for once. Thank you.moreless

"Perfect"

By calicow, Feb 18, 2006

In this episode of King of the Hill, we find Peggy taking the Spanish club on its field trip to Mexico. What I found so hilarious was how inept Peggy was in speaking Spanish when she claims she is fluent in speaking the language and bad her pronunciation was when she spoke in her foreign tounge.

Another thing that was pretty good about the episode was how when the club crossed the Mexican border and wanted everyone to stop speaking in English and start speaking in Spanish. I thought it was quite funny that Peggy thought the butcher worked at a circus instead of at a butcher's shop and when they arrived at the shop she was saying "Polo for u, Polo for u" (Chicken for you, chicken for you).

In all, this is possibly my favorite episode of King of the Hill. I find this so funny because how bad Peggy understands Spanish in this episode.moreless
