    In the end, when the canadian family behaved rudely towards Hank, even after he helped bail the guy out of jail, and offer his home to the family, I felt they should have gotten their comeuppance.

  • When Boomhauer trades houses with a Canadian family for the summer Hank finds himself in a war with the Canadians due to their different viewpoints.

    6.5
    "Fair"
    While I did not find this episode to be particularly funny, the episode is interesting because it deals with the differences between American and Canadian cultures. For example Hank believes some of the remarks the Canadians made were rude, while the Canadians themselves believe the Hills were rude with their party. Its nice to see the heavy use of Canada in this episode because not many TV shows even mention the country. Other than that there's not much else to say.

    Well we do hear Boomhauers first name which is apparently Jeff.

    Overall I give this episode a 6.5 because it wasent that funny, but it did have a good plot.moreless

    • (Hank has been bailed out of jail by Buck and his lawyer) Gordon: What about me? J.J. Womack: You're a foreign national who committed a criminal offense. May God have mercy on your soul. Gordon: Hank, you gotta help me! Hank: Oh, you mean, bail you out of trouble? How terribly American that would be of me ...eh?

    • Gordon: Ah, now, this is a beer. Why can't America make a decent ale? Hank: Probably because we're too busy making medical breakthroughs and blockbuster movies and going to the moon! Gordon: Yeah, well, we invented zippers, penicillin and the Zamboni! Bill: I love Canada's national anthem. Too bad they don't play it much at the Olympics! Kahn: And your money has a girl on it!

    • Ollie: So how tall are you? Bobby: 4 Foot 11. Ollie: Cool; that's like, 157 centimeters. Bobby: Wow; I sound taller in Canada! I wonder if it makes me thinner, too...

    • Bobby: Mom, can I have another half liter of OJ, please? Hank: What? Bobby, we speak English in this house. Bobby: But, Dad, Canada's metric system makes so much more sense. A yard, a foot, an ounce... That's so random. Why not measure things in squirts and dog's tails?

    • Kahn: If you ask me, America's building a wall along the wrong border!

    • (Hank has gotten all of the regulars personalized beer mugs that he will keep frosty, and let's Gordon use Boomhauers. Bill and Dale start singing the theme to Alamo Beer) Gordon: Well, I guess it's a fine beer, you know, if you're not into flavor, but you love going to the washroom all night (Gordon laughs). Oh, sorry. Maureen's giving me our secret signal to leave. Good to meet all you.

    • Suzette: Allo, my name is Suzette. I live next door. Boomhauer: Dang ol Bon Jour, man.

    • Hank: Be polite, Dale. We're Americans. We're the world's Welcome Mat. It doesn't matter if they're from Canada, Laos, or God forbid, California...

    • Dale: I'm thinkin' a new hammock. For me, laying and swaying is like a morphine drip without the risk of renal failure.

    • Hank: Ah, summer. What America does best. Heck, we were BORN in summer.

    • Hank: Boomhauer, don't you dare come back a hockey fan.

    • Hank: Canada? A man only has so many summers Boomhauer. Why would you waste yours in a country that is dismantling it's navy?
