After Hank has a car accident, he has to go to traffic school. The teacher of the traffic school is a comedian, Booda Sack, who gets laughs by insulting the audience. Inspired by Booda Sack, Bobby tries developing a stand-up act of his own. Booda Sack tells Bobby that to be funny, he needs to get in touch with his roots as a white man. Looking for something about "white roots" on the internet, Bobby comes across all the material he needs on a site called the White Nationalist Brotherhood.moreless

Traffic Jam showcases Kahn's weakness; he has no common sense and always acts before he thinks. In this episode, Hank must attend a themed traffic school and meets a serious challenge once there.moreless

"Good"

By TasForMayor, Nov 06, 2006

Traffic Jam brings a stand-up comic to the forefront and Bobby is completed mesmerized. Of course, Hank is not going to tolerate this hero-worhip, but the more Hank fights it, the more complicated things get.

**************SPOILERS***************

Bobby changes his identity to "Pop and Fresh" and immediately begins imitating the racist comedian/traffic school teacher "Buddah Sack". When Buddah Sack starts using Bobby's silly stand-up act to make fun of Hank in front of the entire classroom, Hank puts his foot down. Bobby, as usual, goes a little too far in his efforts to rebel against his dad's wishes and decides to take his comedy research to the internet to prepare for his big performance at Buddah Sacks amateur night comedy club. Tune in for a few surprises!moreless

"Terrible"

By Sillygostly, Aug 19, 2006

I\'ve only just begun to watch KotH as the first two season sets have been released in Australia, and I have to say, of all the episodes I\'ve seen so far, Traffic Jam is the absolute WORST.

Probably fuelled by my hatred of Chris Rock\'s unfunniness and his annoying voice, I felt embarrassed watching this episode, and I\'d never want to see it again unless I skip any scenes with Chris Rock in them.

With that said, King of the Hill has not yet failed to please me as it is a very witty and entertaining show, until now. In future, they should steer clear of Chris Rock and his brand of \"comedy\".moreless
