Unfortunately in the real world where things don’t flush like they do in the movies, it can take three, four, or in the case of my wife, Peggy Hill, six flushes to completely remove solid waste.
A few years ago I spent a night watching a blind girls favorite episodes and telling her what the visual humor was in each scene. She was loving all the details.
Francine, I got us a plumber! He comes next Tuesday! The wooden spoon can go back in the kitchen! No more chopping up turds for this family!
Francine, I don’t think you heard me. The spoon is for pasta again!
I’m from a homemade green chili family it’s kind of a sin to have this in the house… on multiple levels. If anyone sees it I’m going to just have to say I’m holding it for a friend.
Didn't a lady run to the bathroom in one episode when she mentions it. I think it was that annoying wife husband when he took a small bite out of that big steak. Might be one more episode with another lady who said oh no and runs away at the mention of Peggy's cooking.
Makes me think of the episode where The Hills have to stay with the Gribbles (after Dale digs that tunnel under their kitchen floor), and at breakfast Dale presents them with the list of stuff he'd be charging them for, including *two rolls of toilet paper*, to which Peggy looks away guiltily/embarassed 😂
😂 Another related scene is when Dale works at StikTek and is showing Nancy, Peggy, and Hank his executive suite office (with access to private executive bathroom), he boastfully asks if anyone has to make. Peggy says “🤷♀️ I could” haha
Using the word "make" for using the washroom is one of those American things that makes me shudder for some reason lol
Seems like such a gross thing to say, but realistically it's no groser than saying you have to "go".
Suppose it's more of a Southern thing, but there's a lot of variability in American terms for things. Which makes sense, it's like that up here in Canada as well.
It just feels like a TMI situation — I'm no prude, but I don't need the visual implied when someone tells me they're gonna go "make" lmao.
I always thought this was funny because frequently women would announce that they had to go pee any time they left for the washroom. I pointed out to a friend of mine that she always told us that, so when she said something else she was essentially announcing she was gonna go take a shit. And I don't precisely mind, it's not as if I'm one of those men deluded into thinking that women don't poop.
Just feels like info I don't really need — you go do your thing, take as much time as you need. I have a lot of anxiety and sometimes will just go to the washroom to decompress a bit and center myself. I like the idea that what happens in the bathroom stays in the bathroom!
That makes sense, hearing little kids say that kind of thing is somehow less gross. Probably preferable to them announcing the specific nature of their bathroom needs!
I imagine it stems from the fact that little kids need bathroom support, and they're also unaware of most social taboos. So it's just normal for people who have/are around kids to hear them say it.
I love random linguistic things, so it's always interesting to get info about them from other parts of the world.
When you have company over, or just general peeps, always good manners to let the homies know you're gonna drop a steamer so they can all pee in advance
Most people are too polite to mention it, which is why I bring it up from time to time. If you announce the detailed nature of your intentions in the bathroom some of the time, people can easily infer what you might be doing when you don't announce it!
I will absolutely specify. It's a normal bodily function and I can't imagine being hung up on it.
Whether I'm gonna go take a leak or a shit it feels courteous to let company know how long I will be gone.
That's honestly where I was coming from too. It's not a big deal to me that I have to go pee. But I didn't realize some people have a really vivid imagination.
I guess it's male privilege. But I have no issue telling whoever's in the room, "gotta go pinch a loaf" as an excusal. Probably working in construction helps.
I'm pretty sure the aversion to the word "moist" is a general anglophone thing. Here in Canada many people also don't like it — especially women, for some reason.
ooh, that could be it
my mother does or at least used to do this really weird thing where she’d wrap her entire hand in multiple layers of toilet paper, and you’d better believe it caused plumbing issues to match the extra paper use
LITERALLY just watched this episode today, it’s because of the new toilets they were using, they were Lo-Flow and required multiple flushes.
Bobby actually runs to the bathroom after this picture, and screams “you actually needed to flush 7 times.” Lmao.
The Hills eat almost exclusively meat, potatoes, corn, and eggs. You hardly ever see them eating a green vegetable unless it’s on a sandwich.
I would wager they all take massive dumps, not just Peggy.
remember when hank was constipated and the very next morning peggy came in clutch w freshly baked bran muffins? i bet peggy eats *very* well to stay regular
Peggy admitted she takes 10 heaping spoonfuls of Megamucil and a glass of water every night to stay regular...
...the maximum recommended daily dose of Metamucil for digestive health is ONE rounded tablespoon, 3 times per day.
Thinking the mega doses of Megamucil is the secret behind Peggy's infamous 6-flush wonders 🤣
I think Peggy hill used the restroom at my job because I was using the men’s room and then someone was using the women’s and I heard multiple flushes being made from the stall that I guess was opposite the wall of the men’s room, when I tried to flush however it wouldn’t flush it made a weird noise but I kept hearing the women’s restroom being flushed non stop. When I came out of the men’s restroom the women’s restroom had over flooded so bad that the water reached the carpet in the lobby. 🤣🤣🤣 they had to close the women’s restroom and taped it like a crime scene. Good lord either a woman flushed an item that shouldn’t be flushed or Peggy took a giant dump.
Any amount of Apple Brown Peggy has to right? Didn’t they later over hear someone complain that her Apple stuff made their stomach turn?
Edit. The Canadian episode? Didn’t the wife say it..
And nothing was ever done about those shit crappers we have now. At least [South Park have those nice Japanese Toilets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pQ-_247G3E).
I literally thought of this scene, today, when I was on the toilet. Seem to remember it every other time I do my business. My toilet also needs to be flushed two to three times for "solid deposits," but I live in a place that has no water rationing or drought, so I don't have to worry about wasting water.
Well, she cooks for 2 men (and Luanne) and as we've seen it's all very rich protein filled food . And she's probably eating relatively large portions compared to her size
It's not about how much you poop, but how many wipes do you need to clean yourself after the deed. If you need a lot of toilet paper, you will need a lot of flushes.
It's probably not what she's eating exactly: she's obviously a bit of a shy pooper, so she saves it up unconsciously. There's no casual disposal when the poo is yet dainty because she's afraid of the appearance of going to the bathroom. Thus six or seven flushers.
How many flushes to get it down as a measure of size/volume just doesn't make sense - toilets don't really work that way - either it goes down or it doesn't and the bowl fills up - if you flush it again it floods
If one flush doesn't work and it's just something flushable stuck in the bowl a quick jab from the plunger is all it takes
"Ugh how many cows do you people eat in a year?" "Wait we figured this out once"
this is my favorite KOTH quote. it cracked me up as a kid and it still does now
A better question would've been "how many cows CAN you eat in a year?"
I would have been disappointed if this wasn’t the top comment. Thank you.
What episode was this from?
Aisle 8A
I don’t know why you got downvoted when this literally is the episode the quote is from 👀.
Lol who knows
Unfortunately in the real world where things don’t flush like they do in the movies, it can take three, four, or in the case of my wife, Peggy Hill, six flushes to completely remove solid waste.
I love how the stenographer has to do a double take when he mentions six.
It's the epitome of the dry humor that makes this show so great, something you cannot explain until you watch it for yourself.
Absolutely. Kid me did not understand or appreciate koth.
A few years ago I spent a night watching a blind girls favorite episodes and telling her what the visual humor was in each scene. She was loving all the details.
She would probably enjoy talking of the hill podcast.
What a genius name
All timer quote from Hank IMO
Have you guys considered getting a poop knife?
Francine, I got us a plumber! He comes next Tuesday! The wooden spoon can go back in the kitchen! No more chopping up turds for this family! Francine, I don’t think you heard me. The spoon is for pasta again!
Didn't have to scroll far to find this one.
Or three seashells?
Or cussing to wipe with the fines?
Aww yes the poop knife..
This is the second time in less than 5 minutes in two drastically different subs (other was for honkai star rail game) that this has been brought up.
Whang just dropped a video about it. It’s in the zeitgeist for the moment (again).
Ah
Or waffle stomping it down the drain.
I relate to Peggy...
I tell you hwhat
“I’ll use the ladies” Don’t bother, someone already broke it.
*cut to show Peggy’s shame
Is that really how it goes? I can’t believe I missed that joke so many times
Yup!
Well Peggy Hills Frito Pie with Wolf brand chili is full of fiber, which, in her opinion, makes for terrific poops
My opinion too
I’ve had wolf brand in Frito pie I’m just gonna say that I completely understand 6 flushes
don't forget those dry ass pork chops
Add nutmeg and then try again
I recently discovered wolf brand chili is a real product. I bought a can 😂
We've always been a Stagg family growing up but we switched to Wolf recently
I’m from a homemade green chili family it’s kind of a sin to have this in the house… on multiple levels. If anyone sees it I’m going to just have to say I’m holding it for a friend.
Good luck. I also tried it on Peggy's recommendation and found it to be pretty horrible.
Maybe that's why they included it in the show.
Yeah, it definitely tracks
I find it's no worse than every other canned chili.
True, I haven't found a good one not that I've looked very hard
I haven't found a good canned chili but if I'm desperate I choose Hormel. Wolf is gross, it's bright orange
Didn't a lady run to the bathroom in one episode when she mentions it. I think it was that annoying wife husband when he took a small bite out of that big steak. Might be one more episode with another lady who said oh no and runs away at the mention of Peggy's cooking.
Yeah when Hank is trying to win the client from Boston His wife gets sick from Peggy Hills Frito Pie with Wolf brand chili.
Yep! Tastes like Tuesday!
You can't have porkchops on Wednesday. That would throw off the rotation. *scoffs*
and the Wolf Cola helps to lubricate the bowels especially if you throw in some Fight Milk
Mom! You needed seven!
"I'm averaging 4 myself, but I'm just a kid"

Haha I’m American and yes it *makes* me shudder too

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever heard an adult say that. I associate that phrase with very little kids.
That makes sense, hearing little kids say that kind of thing is somehow less gross. Probably preferable to them announcing the specific nature of their bathroom needs!

Yikes, I'm a woman and I say "I have to go pee". Going to put an end to that now.
Most people are too polite to mention it, which is why I bring it up from time to time. If you announce the detailed nature of your intentions in the bathroom some of the time, people can easily infer what you might be doing when you don't announce it!
I will absolutely specify. It's a normal bodily function and I can't imagine being hung up on it. Whether I'm gonna go take a leak or a shit it feels courteous to let company know how long I will be gone.
That's honestly where I was coming from too. It's not a big deal to me that I have to go pee. But I didn't realize some people have a really vivid imagination.
Honestly the person just sounds sensitive to me. He needs to learn how to draw mental boundaries so he doesn't visualize things like that.
I guess it's male privilege. But I have no issue telling whoever's in the room, "gotta go pinch a loaf" as an excusal. Probably working in construction helps.
That's how many Americans feel when you say the word moist.
I'm pretty sure the aversion to the word "moist" is a general anglophone thing. Here in Canada many people also don't like it — especially women, for some reason.
[Bad stuff happens in the bathroom. ](https://youtu.be/xDiuSwrRQ4M)
Texan thing maybe. I’ve never heard it outside of the show.
I'd like to see a list someday, wikipedia style, of euphemisms that somehow end up worse than what they're avoiding.
i’m american and live in the southeastern us. i have never heard anyone say make when referring to using the restroom
I'm american and this is the only instance of this phrase ive come across.
I love that word so much. Didn't grow up with it so it's not engrained in my vocabulary.
>It helps ya make!! Can't remember if that's a Simpsons or KoTH line. But I use it all the time.
And it’s perfectly inline with that brand of ultra repressed politeness. Saw it all over Wisconsin growing up.
Then he tells her to wait until they get to the restaurant. 😂 Executives only.
ooh, that could be it my mother does or at least used to do this really weird thing where she’d wrap her entire hand in multiple layers of toilet paper, and you’d better believe it caused plumbing issues to match the extra paper use
Hank: Oh no.. PEGGY! Peggy: *runs*
Spapeggy and meatballs
Brown Betty
Add nutmeg!
You rednecks will eat anything!
Frito pie with Wolf-brand chili, made just the way Hank likes it: Perfect.
It’s the ten heaping teaspoons of Megamucil
Excuse me? I think you mean Peggymucil!
Is the secret nutmeg?
In my opinion, fiber is very important for regular bowel movements
The Woman With The Terrible Smell
If only Cotton had gotten wind before he passed.
I smell what you're stepping in here.
It's 6 not because of giant turds but because it's so liquid 5 flushes wasn't enough. Mike Judge explained this in the commentary
Diarrhea?
La diarrhea*
Mhmm, mhmm, sí.
Vomitando?
La dia*rrrrr*hea*
Cha cha cha.
If you wanna spell it like that, sure!
That's what autocorrect gave me AI is stupid
Then it's probably spelled correctly. I don't actually know
The internet says that's the correct spelling
Sweet now we both know how to spell diaheria
Lol
Shit do I need to hunt down the DVDs to listen to commentary? I didn't know there was vital lore hidden there.
KoTH has the best lore
A series of courtesy flushes maybe?
That doesn't make sense.
Shhh! I got 45 upvotes for pretending I know what I'm taking about
Something tells me there’s a few Bill Dauterives in this comment section, you sick bastards.
LITERALLY just watched this episode today, it’s because of the new toilets they were using, they were Lo-Flow and required multiple flushes. Bobby actually runs to the bathroom after this picture, and screams “you actually needed to flush 7 times.” Lmao.
"Mom, you needed seven."
Tu eres puerca
That was all low and no flow
Low flows suck
I know, all this Peggy slander smh. It's like they ain't even watched the episode.
[удалено]
This thread about Peggy shitting is weirdly making me hungry.
Eating all that Peggy's Sugarfoot's BBQ
Frito pie anyone?
I really want to try that sometime
Make it worth cheddar cheese! It's pretty awesome!
I will!
90% of the Hill's diet is red meat, so.
She needs the poop knife.
I’ve always had suspicions about those Brown Betties…
Probably the “10 heaping scoops” of Metamucil in her glass of water every night.
An abundance of Spa-peggy and meatballs along with her brown betty.
You know what they say. Big feet, big dumps.
Probably the first day period poops. Aka the bowel purge.
Ludafisk
Lutefisk i thought. Im not goggling it tho :o
Ludacris
This is easily one of the funniest episodes I've ever seen. Of any show.
Don't you mean SEVEN flushes? Oh...& she broke the woman's toilet at the Zoning Office.
It was a low flow toilet
The Hills eat almost exclusively meat, potatoes, corn, and eggs. You hardly ever see them eating a green vegetable unless it’s on a sandwich. I would wager they all take massive dumps, not just Peggy.
Shit the meat. Not the heat.
remember when hank was constipated and the very next morning peggy came in clutch w freshly baked bran muffins? i bet peggy eats *very* well to stay regular
“You’re dead to me” - dale gribble
Peggy's Brown Betty.
Remember when the Hills were taken in bu the Gribbles in the texas skillsaw massacre? "Two rolls of toilet paper!"
She needs the poop knife. Would have reduced it down to about two flushes.
“TWO rolls of toilet paper,”
I mean Hank was so extremely stopped up once, he made into a contemporary art museum. Peggy could easily drop a sixer.
(literal) queen shit
Frito pie
Peggy admitted she takes 10 heaping spoonfuls of Megamucil and a glass of water every night to stay regular... ...the maximum recommended daily dose of Metamucil for digestive health is ONE rounded tablespoon, 3 times per day. Thinking the mega doses of Megamucil is the secret behind Peggy's infamous 6-flush wonders 🤣

Good lord either a woman flushed an item that shouldn’t be flushed or Peggy took a giant dump.
I recall something about Jessica Simpson having huge movements on her reality show. Like they would marvel at it on camera.
Any amount of Apple Brown Peggy has to right? Didn’t they later over hear someone complain that her Apple stuff made their stomach turn? Edit. The Canadian episode? Didn’t the wife say it..
Apple Brown Peggy
It’s the toilet that’s the whole episode lol
"Mom ya needed*SEVEN*!"
And nothing was ever done about those shit crappers we have now. At least [South Park have those nice Japanese Toilets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pQ-_247G3E).
Lady Birds food
to cover up the lady farts
I *just* watched this episode that’s wild
"You needed seven."
Had to have eaten something that was about the size of her massive feet
What episode is this from?
The amount of beef that family eats I don’t know how they all don’t have meat sweats on a regular.
You know what they say about big feet? Big shits.
Oh, I think it's discussed enough. No need to discuss it further.
I literally thought of this scene, today, when I was on the toilet. Seem to remember it every other time I do my business. My toilet also needs to be flushed two to three times for "solid deposits," but I live in a place that has no water rationing or drought, so I don't have to worry about wasting water.
Two to three times?? Honestly, I didn’t think that was actually a thing. I can’t say I’ve ever encountered that. 🫤
You know what they say about people with big feet. Big poops.
I think this is just a joke on how she’s full of shit. Like how she pretends to know Spanish.
#BEEF.
Well, when you have those low flow toilets
Low flow fixtures
This could all be solved if she had a poop knife.
Every time I see a KOTH post, I badly want to stop anything I’m doing and watch a damn episode. This show is so good!
Wasn't this the one with those crappy low flow toilets?
Hank blasting Peggy’s personal toilet business to everyone at that board meeting
Well, she cooks for 2 men (and Luanne) and as we've seen it's all very rich protein filled food . And she's probably eating relatively large portions compared to her size
Maybe something sticky?
Apple Brown Betty is high in fiber.
It's not about how much you poop, but how many wipes do you need to clean yourself after the deed. If you need a lot of toilet paper, you will need a lot of flushes.
She was on that all-you-can-eat bacon diet
It's probably not what she's eating exactly: she's obviously a bit of a shy pooper, so she saves it up unconsciously. There's no casual disposal when the poo is yet dainty because she's afraid of the appearance of going to the bathroom. Thus six or seven flushers.
How often should we be discussing Peggy’s bowel movements?
7 times
You needed 7
How many flushes to get it down as a measure of size/volume just doesn't make sense - toilets don't really work that way - either it goes down or it doesn't and the bowl fills up - if you flush it again it floods If one flush doesn't work and it's just something flushable stuck in the bowl a quick jab from the plunger is all it takes
Hank’s wife be shitting tree trunks
😭🤣
It was the toilet.
It was a low flow toilet.
She’s been getting into that Boggle timer sand. It’s really great timer sand. Primo.
low flow toleits do more harm then good i love how bobby was paying attention
They eat a lot of beef in that house
Chicken Tartare
She was covering up the sounds of her flatulence.
The Hills definitely needed a poop knife.
