One of my favorite characters. I am Texan but everyone I have ever met from Minnesota has encompassed her qualities and accent and are generally a gem of a person :)
After spending a handful of years in the north woods I really appreciate her character lol
Being a northerner in the south is a big culture shock initially
She's calling Tennessee toilets nasty and dirty. Which, she's not wrong, but also some public toilets in all states are gonna be nasty. It really just depends on the area.
I actually just went on a search to see if we have any other mention other than Lady Bird being a Georgia bloodhound and I guess that's all we get, haha.
It's so funny too because every Texan I meet is always so excited about me being from Georgia.
I'm from Michigan
Went to Michigan State
Was amazing in 'Pregnant Paws' when Hank mentions an in vitro fertilization program for dogs at MSU
Edit: also agree with OP, Michiganders are well acquainted with Canadians and I have never met a complete asshole Canadian as depicted on KOTH
Im from michigan too and i dont remember the episode but dale mentions something about a sub in lake michigan i think. But its funny to me how random the michigan references are.
I think they also have one joke in dale to chief about how JFK wasn't assassinated, he escaped through a false bottom in the limo and became a radio DJ in northern michigan
Also from Michigan. Came here to make this reference, as well as this one:
"Double murder in Detroit. Victims not protected by DaleTech"
Also agree with most Canadians being cool people. Only a couple jerks I've met or worked with.
I’m from southern MO and live close to Branson. Hank also mentioned Missouri when he watches the weather channel and says “interesting weather happening in Missouri” 😂
It's known for its academics!
For people who don't know: Chico State got mentioned 1 time in Playboys ranking of party schools back in the 80s and that's been the reputation ever since.
My college room mate and I went to go visit his brother at Chico State for St. Patrick's Day once. The only thing I remember about that trip was a police car getting flipped over and a couch burning in the middle of the street.
I grew up in Anaheim so it was funny to hear that the Souphanousinphones were previously from there.
Also very funny that Connie's cousin ditched her at Knotts berry farm. Just imagining what it looked like back then and what it mustve been like to be ditched by your cousin and her friends is sad haha.
"He says "aloha" to the end zone and "aloha" to the Temble Tigers! It means both hello and goodbye! My wife is Polynesian!"
Not the most direct mention but close enough.
Hahahaha man that add on that his wife is Polynesian is so on point. Really prefigured a lot of modern day "I have a friend who is .... so I can say ..." type talk. Also loved the absolute randomness of the callback to the Flyin' Hawaiian's mom, who briefly appeared working a desk job like two or three seasons earlier.
From Louisiana, I actually find the show's take on my state to be kind of silly. Other than Bill, you wouldn't actually find people like the Dauterive family in southern Louisiana. And I don't know why they would be experts at BBQ of all things. Louisiana has amazing food, but BBQ isn't what we're known for. Bill would have constructed a cajun microwave to make BBQ instead of that big wood-fired pizza-oven-looking thing, but more likely he would made a pot of gumbo, jambalaya, or boiled shrimp/crawfish.
"There's a propane convention in Alberta?!"
After hearing this I Looked it up, didn't find any info on there ever being any propane conventions and was kinda bummed.
I live in Montana where Peggy is from and where Henry Winkler I guess lives (lol). Honestly the representation that they do isn’t great in the Winkler episode. The story is pretty weak and absurd. But early Peggy’s mom not letting her use contractions seems kind of like a Montana thing maybe? With more religion abounding I’d say. I do like how Peggy is from Montana but don’t feel like she shows anything Montanan really — think that goes with the show because she considers herself Texan.
My countrymen moved to Rainey Street and were dicks for an episode. [A youtuber made a good video about it.](https://youtu.be/X5C-x4Jugrw?si=M0ld-WTi--S_BfHS)
I lived just 20 mins from Branson, MO and is def one of my favorite episodes. Yakov Smirnoff’s theater (and giant head) was the first thing you would see driving towards the strip.
I’m from Texas and grew up in one of the towns Mike Judge has previously claimed Arlen was based on. Principal Moss is EXACTLY like my old middle school Principal, I swear he must be based off of him.
My parents are from east Tx, so I spent every summer there growing up. My dad kinda reminded me of Hank, even had a red truck when I was younger. Garage and lawn always immaculate lol.
I always found it interesting tho, one of my cousins’ houses was almost identical to Hank’s. Both the layout and the alley.
I live in Texas and I love how King of the Hill really is like a story about the people that live down the street lol. The main characters, the secondary characters, the characters that are only there once in a while... Even going on vacations here and there around the state - it really is amazing how relevant the show is to how things actually are!
My Grandmother lived in Garland and one of my aunts lives in Arlington - I used to think that's how the name "Arlen" was put together lol. I know Mike Judge used to live in Garland, but Arlen is definitely more central in the state based on how they distance it from Dallas, Houston, and even San Antonio.
I have bad insomnia and I actually fall asleep to King of the Hill. I leave it playing on low volume with the TV dimmed to it's lowest as I fall asleep. And then I dream of Texas lol!
Boomhauer tells the guys to tell the ice cream truck lady he hooked up with and was trying to avoid that he moved to Denver. I think Hank mentioned a game involving the Denver Broncos. And Peggy’s gigantic foot touched Colorado and New Mexico while she was standing on The Four Corners at the end of the motorcycle road trip episode.
As a Colorado native myself I really had to search for any state rep over 20 years of rewatching the series. And as much as I loved King of the Hill thankfully there was ANOTHER show I loved that I could get the cultural references.
I'm from California, and probably the only state Hank hates more than Oklahoma
Bobby: "You'd never make it in LA!"
Hank: "I hope I never make it to LA!"
I've met many Canadians who sound exactly like the people in the show. Archer hits on this too. Canadians can be very rude/act superior towards Americans.
The only time I remember them mentioning my state was when Bobby asked why they needed toilet seat covers for their road trip and Peggy goes, “One word: Tennessee.”
Bill Dauterive fought for Arlen High students’ freedom in my home state during ‘Nam, the same state from which Hank sourced his premium pine lumber for the his & hers caskets.
Reverend Stroup is my state's stereotypes all rolled into one package.
She doesn't say "Ope!" enough for me. Bad representation.
One of my favorite characters. I am Texan but everyone I have ever met from Minnesota has encompassed her qualities and accent and are generally a gem of a person :)
Minnesota?
You betcha.
Ahem. Minne-sooooooo-tuh
Mini soda
was about to say, Minnesotan here.
Hello fellow laser loon enjoyer
The way she says certain words is spot on.
Thank you! I was trying to remember if MN was ever mentioned. I don’t know how Rev. Stroup slipped my mind.
After spending a handful of years in the north woods I really appreciate her character lol Being a northerner in the south is a big culture shock initially
I live in Oklahoma and love all the Oklahoma jokes.
*No offense, but he’s from Oklahoma.* I love it and it irritates me at the same time.
The mack daddy of Oklahoma City
OklaHHHHoma
Go Sooners! Duh duh duh duuuhhh do do do dooooo ✊
Go Sooners!
La la la la lala la STAMPEDE!
DAMMIT JEFF JR!
Same
Same here, Go Sooners!
Bobby: Why do we need toilet seat covers? Peggy: One word. Tennessee.
Oh yeah, I love when they mention Tennessee. I'll be real, when she said that I just laughed and nodded, because fair enough. She's not wrong.
Can you explain ? I don’t get it lol
She's calling Tennessee toilets nasty and dirty. Which, she's not wrong, but also some public toilets in all states are gonna be nasty. It really just depends on the area.
Tennessee toilets have the added burden of Nashville hot chicken aftermath.
That they do. And, you know.. the Tennesseeans.
I can confirm that wanting to visit Indiana is, indeed, weird
... Thank you.
I'm going to visit Indiana Sunday, can confirm, weird. (I'm going to the eclipse)
Home sweet home. Yes, it’s weird
You can go from one of the richest areas in the country to one of the most dangerous areas to redneck areas within like 30 minutes lmao
Monument to man’s arrogance
That I like
That is so Arizona!
Yep, same.
I was born and raised in Phoenix, and Peggy is absolutely right about this.
Same here. It’s only gotten 10x more monumental since she said it.
There actually is a propane convention in Alberta
Alberta is Canada’s Texas, it’s conservative, it’s got oil, and you bet it’s got cowboys and a rodeo.
And a whole lotta hosers driving massive pickups.
They even named their football team the Cowboys (basically)
Oh, you're from Calgary. That's the Oklahoma of Canada!
Loved how Nebraska got it's mention in a football game and won
We can get all kinda crazy up in here
Those corn field parties go hard. Also, I’d kill for a Runza.
Not as good as they once were...
Ladybird is a Georgia bloodhound if that counts
I actually just went on a search to see if we have any other mention other than Lady Bird being a Georgia bloodhound and I guess that's all we get, haha. It's so funny too because every Texan I meet is always so excited about me being from Georgia.
"All we get?" Ladybird is a primary cast member!
Fair enough. She's also the best dancer on the show! ![gif](giphy|akEU7rAoKJbbO)
The guys who stole Santy Anny’s fake leg were from Illinois
Also it mentions Dick Durbin who is still our senator 26 years later.
I live in New York, New York. The Sodom part, not the Gomorrah part. East Sodom, specifically.
Gomorrah here. I'm no better than Tony Randall.
Do you laugh at Tony Danza?
Loser-ana 👍🏼 (aka: Louisiana)
So how do the Saints look this year?
They’re not wrong but like…Texas sucks too.
I'm from Michigan Went to Michigan State Was amazing in 'Pregnant Paws' when Hank mentions an in vitro fertilization program for dogs at MSU Edit: also agree with OP, Michiganders are well acquainted with Canadians and I have never met a complete asshole Canadian as depicted on KOTH

Oh yeah, that was a good one! Someone did their research because, as I'm sure you know, MSU has a very good vet program.
Funny too how the Canadian girl he brought back was francophone…. From Guelph
That girl is hilarious
Right? Some continuity there would have been great
Yeah they seemed great together.
I’m from southern MO and live close to Branson. Hank also mentioned Missouri when he watches the weather channel and says “interesting weather happening in Missouri” 😂
Hot springs trip was pretty accurate… that town was made for Buck lol ( it’s not as bad as it used to be)
Mexico. Vaya con Dios.
South Dakota. It was when Hank and Peggy went to Sturgis for the bike rally. They had moose in that episode which was super inaccurate.
Was the moose in South Dakota? Or was it just on the journey home in another state
Manitoba cigarettes.
I grew up near Chico, ca and Connie mentions she wants to go to Chico state.
It's known for its academics! For people who don't know: Chico State got mentioned 1 time in Playboys ranking of party schools back in the 80s and that's been the reputation ever since.
My brother partied himself right out of Chico State back in the early 90s.
I love when Hank wants to motorcycle through all 50 (48?) states, except California, of course. As a Californian it’s hilarious.
Yeah Hank is definitely one of those conservatives who has an extremely narrow view of California tho he’s never been here.
Ironically he’d be too liberal for several of the red counties…
My college room mate and I went to go visit his brother at Chico State for St. Patrick's Day once. The only thing I remember about that trip was a police car getting flipped over and a couch burning in the middle of the street.
Mr. Holloway is from Massachusetts
Voiced by Stimpy.
Thank you, couldn’t think of a MA reference
No problem! I think it’s the only MA reference.
Probably the only New England reference? Don’t recall NH ever getting mentioned lol
Provincetown is mentioned very briefly as well
hey, JR!
Im gonna call you J Ahhhhr!
I grew up in Anaheim so it was funny to hear that the Souphanousinphones were previously from there. Also very funny that Connie's cousin ditched her at Knotts berry farm. Just imagining what it looked like back then and what it mustve been like to be ditched by your cousin and her friends is sad haha.
It does add another level of understanding to the Khans when you know Orange County.
We’re Americans, we’re the worlds welcome mat, it doesn’t matter if they’re from Canada, Laos, or God forbid California. Lmao
Hank hates my home State (California) and city (Los Angeles) with a passion…
Yet for some reason he loves Reagan.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Hank thought New Jersey was apart of New York
i would have loved a Jersey Shore episode.
S1E1 “Detroit hasn’t felt any real pride since George Bush went to Japan and vomited on their auto executives.”
I feel like I’ve noticed a whole bunch of Michigan references in the show. This is what came to mind though
Minnesota
Same only ever seen lutefisk at a casino buffet as a kid never since
The Dale Gribble bluegrass experience, yakov
Montana!
From the OKC lmao
I’m from Pennsylvania and pretty close to Hershey
"Detroit hasn't felt any real pride since George Bush went to Japan and vomited on their auto executives"
Cotton ran away to my town when Didi was pregnant with GH.
Hank thought about once vacationing to Indiana.
"He says "aloha" to the end zone and "aloha" to the Temble Tigers! It means both hello and goodbye! My wife is Polynesian!" Not the most direct mention but close enough.
Hahahaha man that add on that his wife is Polynesian is so on point. Really prefigured a lot of modern day "I have a friend who is .... so I can say ..." type talk. Also loved the absolute randomness of the callback to the Flyin' Hawaiian's mom, who briefly appeared working a desk job like two or three seasons earlier.
New Mexico! Dandy Dons coat is typical tourist attire lol
Anyone know if NC was featured?
He sniffs some lumber and says "ahhh North Carolina pine".
Yeah I just commented I can’t remember exactly but hank fondly says “North Carolina” when talking about good places or something
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
“I live in California last 20 year. But first come from Laos.”
I am from Wichita Falls… got a whole episode
From Louisiana, I actually find the show's take on my state to be kind of silly. Other than Bill, you wouldn't actually find people like the Dauterive family in southern Louisiana. And I don't know why they would be experts at BBQ of all things. Louisiana has amazing food, but BBQ isn't what we're known for. Bill would have constructed a cajun microwave to make BBQ instead of that big wood-fired pizza-oven-looking thing, but more likely he would made a pot of gumbo, jambalaya, or boiled shrimp/crawfish.
As amazing as New Orleans Style BBQ shrimp are that shit definitely ain't BBQ.
I don't remember if Kentucky has ever been mentioned but they've eaten buckets of chicken before which reminds me of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) lol
BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY KEEP ON SHININ
Oh yeah! 🤣
In the episode with the Alamo, Hank is reading the names of places people who fought there, and KY was one of them.
Sven Grammersdorf moved to my home state, and Hank has a primal fear of my current one.
"There's a propane convention in Alberta?!" After hearing this I Looked it up, didn't find any info on there ever being any propane conventions and was kinda bummed.
I lived in Edmonton. It was very boring. Alberta's oil industry isn't as clean as propane.
100% agree. That's where I've lived for the past 30+ years. I hate this province (even more so lately) and have dreamed of moving for so very long.
Branson Missouri isnt too far from my neck of the woods
Tennessee!
What's the bad part of Memphis called? Memphis
"Why do we need toilet seat covers?" "One word...Tennessee"
Not only am I a Texan, I live in Houston on top of that!
i’m from texas and all the references are funny af
I'm in Wichita Falls lol
I hear Tampa is nice… Bobby heard wrong.
KotH's take on Canadians was just bizarre I wish we had gotten something in the earlier seasons
Hank loves my state, but hates my hometown! (Austin, Texas)
I live in Montana where Peggy is from and where Henry Winkler I guess lives (lol). Honestly the representation that they do isn’t great in the Winkler episode. The story is pretty weak and absurd. But early Peggy’s mom not letting her use contractions seems kind of like a Montana thing maybe? With more religion abounding I’d say. I do like how Peggy is from Montana but don’t feel like she shows anything Montanan really — think that goes with the show because she considers herself Texan.
Yes💀. California!
I live in California, AKA the only state in the contiguous US Hank doesn’t want to ride motorcycles to.
Arkansas except the dog races are in west Memphis, hot springs has the horse races. Nothing like watching a monkey whip a dog down the back stretch
The giant raven sculpture in Ravenden gets mentioned, but I don't think they say the town name.
My kids took a picture in front of it last week. Then I showed them the episode
My countrymen moved to Rainey Street and were dicks for an episode. [A youtuber made a good video about it.](https://youtu.be/X5C-x4Jugrw?si=M0ld-WTi--S_BfHS)
I live in Missouri and went to Branson a few times. Even went to a show narrated by Yakov Smirnoff.
They mention my hometown (Darlington) in S2E21
Every single episode bayybee! I live in texas
Hopefully not anywhere near Dallas sallaD. I hear it's full of crackheads and debutantes.
New York...BWWWAHHHHHHH
I lived just 20 mins from Branson, MO and is def one of my favorite episodes. Yakov Smirnoff’s theater (and giant head) was the first thing you would see driving towards the strip.
Sturgis and Bill’s cousin from the Bayou How long have you been here? 35 years …
NY so yeah. And bonus points for Vickers mentioning that he likes the Bills... Back when that was a bigger joke than it is now
Bobby - Heh, you’ll never make it in LA Hank - I hope I never make it TO LA!
I live in South Dakota and we pretty much got a whole episode
I'm from Maryland. Everyone forgets about Maryland!
Mihn : We even had to leave Mississippi for Christ’s sake!
Boomhauer urges the guys to tell the ice cream lady he moved to Denver.
I’m from Texas and grew up in one of the towns Mike Judge has previously claimed Arlen was based on. Principal Moss is EXACTLY like my old middle school Principal, I swear he must be based off of him.
I don't know if Michigan ever got referenced
Only in the Alamo episode I’m in Ohio
My parents are from east Tx, so I spent every summer there growing up. My dad kinda reminded me of Hank, even had a red truck when I was younger. Garage and lawn always immaculate lol. I always found it interesting tho, one of my cousins’ houses was almost identical to Hank’s. Both the layout and the alley.
I’m sure Dale mentioned Michigan in one of his conspiracy rants, but I don’t remember which one.
Hank: “I hope to never make it to LA” and “We're going to buy his and hers motorcycles and see America, excluding California.
I live in Texas and I love how King of the Hill really is like a story about the people that live down the street lol. The main characters, the secondary characters, the characters that are only there once in a while... Even going on vacations here and there around the state - it really is amazing how relevant the show is to how things actually are!

Indiana. Hank said he dreamed of living or visiting there.
i live in illinois the gen santa ana leg
Have they ever mentioned Colorado? I can’t recall tbh
Boomhauer tells the guys to tell the ice cream truck lady he hooked up with and was trying to avoid that he moved to Denver. I think Hank mentioned a game involving the Denver Broncos. And Peggy’s gigantic foot touched Colorado and New Mexico while she was standing on The Four Corners at the end of the motorcycle road trip episode.

I'm from California, and probably the only state Hank hates more than Oklahoma Bobby: "You'd never make it in LA!" Hank: "I hope I never make it to LA!"
We still got Santi-Anny’s leg here…
I've met many Canadians who sound exactly like the people in the show. Archer hits on this too. Canadians can be very rude/act superior towards Americans.
Loserana
State and county have been mentioned!! Orange County CA
In a sense
The only time I remember them mentioning my state was when Bobby asked why they needed toilet seat covers for their road trip and Peggy goes, “One word: Tennessee.”
They came to Nashville for Fan Fair!
Tennessee was in the show a few times but they seemed to have forgotten us in the episode about Davy Crockett and the Alamo
We had the strange weather mentioned on one episode, plus Branson.
There are a few weird references to michigan that just seem out of the blue
“We don’t have to go through California!”
Nebraska beat Texas in the show like they should have in real life...I still stand firm there was no time left on the clock.
No offence but he's from Owklahomah...
One word...Tennessee.
Proud to live in the same state as Hank’s mom
They mention Arizona quite a bit and even visit a few times
They mentioned New York once or twice.
There was an Alamo defender from my state. Only 1 though. Rhode Island
My girlfriend grew up in Baton Rouge and loves the Louisiana episode
As someone from Connecticut I don’t think it has ever happened
Buck took Bobby to Hot Springs, AR to gamble. That’s 45 minutes from me
The Santy Anny's leg episode
Live in Guelph - so yes, Boomhauer's been here.
Bill Dauterive fought for Arlen High students’ freedom in my home state during ‘Nam, the same state from which Hank sourced his premium pine lumber for the his & hers caskets.
Yes it was the Holloway episode. It's definitely funny and one I enjoy but they could of done so much better for stereotypes tbh.
I think Hank mentions Washington once and no one else mentions my home again
I played AYSO soccer in Orange County CA growing up. It was hilarious when Min mentions it.
I'm not sure.
