Paintball Hillarioty

9.5

By pedroman01, May 11, 2013

This episode is just beyond funny. Between Hank's self righteous attitude and the stereotypical punk teenager, this episode is full of laughs, especially the scene where Cane "pretends" his parents are both not around. This is one of those episodes that, while a bit far fetched in some sense, is also very real about how there is always an older person who thinks the next generation is weird and forgetting that their parents once (and might still) feel the same. Bill being the bait(and shot twice in the drive by) was a classic moment and one of the many "it's always Bill" parts. Overall one of the best of the series and definitly of Season 2moreless

The Man Who Shot Cane Sdretteburg is a real eye opener in that Hank and the gang really give the neighborhood whippersnappers something to contend with when they try to make them out to be old fogeys.moreless

The Man Who Shot Cane Skretteburg is a great episode and shows Hank Hill at his best; leader extraordinaire. Some nieghborhood teenage bullies try to make Hank and the guys look like they can't keep up with the hipsters anymore and Bobby of course starts to idolize the idiotic teens. That really gets Hank's blood boiling and he ends up insulting then challenging the punks to a game of paintball. Hank, Dale Bill and Boomhauer take on the teenagers in an ill fated round at the outdoor arena and end up getting completely humiliated in front of even the "ball boy". We will have a good ending as usual and even a moral to the story for young Bobby's benefit. Tune in for a great family oriented story.moreless

King of the Hill at its best; my favorite episode

9.5

By zone46, Jan 30, 2006

This episode is classic. It's the best episode of the entire series and a great example of how good this show used to be. Hank, Bill, Boomhauer and Dale face off in a paintball match against a group of teenagers led by Cane Skretteburg. After facing constant losses, Hank and co. challenge them to one last rematch. Dale, Boomhauer and Bill are shot by Cane's friends early on, but Hank manages to disguise himself as a ball cleaner. When Cane comes up and asks him where Hank is, Hank finally shoots him (with slo-mo and all).

I haven't seen this episode in a while, but it has always been one of my favorites. Especially when Hank finally beats Cane. "Oh, and young man...you lose." It's too bad the King of the Hill would become a painfully unfunny show in its final years, but at this time, it was in its prime.moreless

TRIVIA (5)
ADD TRIVIA
- At the very end of the episode the drums show the name of the band as Stubborn Stains, however the rest of the episode had it with a Z at the end.
  EDIT SHARE
- The voice of Luanne is a recording of an answering machine greeting. However, it seems highly unlikely that she would be the one leaving the recording at the Hill's (besides it says "its Luanne"), and she has never been shown to have a cellphone before. And even if she did, none of the guys seem tech savy enough to know how to get it off her phone!
  EDIT SHARE
- Tagline: "Dad! The raccoons are back!" -Bobby
  EDIT SHARE
- Hank's nightmare is similar to the delusion scene in the desert in the movie Beavis and Butt-Head Do America which was made a year earlier by King of the Hill creator Mike Judge. King was based on B&B and many similarities and influences are visible throughout, in fact Hank himself is based on the B&B character Tom Anderson.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Hank shoots Cane at the end of the paintball match cane's safety goggles are missing as he falls down in slow motion. Afterwards, they re-appear.
