Sex & Nudity
-
- The side of hank's rear is shown multiple times (and it is mentioned that the censors at the fox network were trying to get more shown).
- Some moderate sexual scenes involving harassment and assault. This includes Cotton slapping women's buttocks, Hank being frisked suggestively by a female police officer, and a golf-player groping Luanne's buttocks while she's employed at a resort. None of this is portrayed as comedic or acceptable.
- Hank gets sexually assaulted by a male dolphin at a resort; the dolphin humps him repeatedly underwater (this is visually shown), and Hank is traumatized by it.
- A reoccurring minor character, Lane Pratley, is portrayed as a sex pervert, although he does nothing particularly explicit or non-consentual.
- Hank watches porno tapes on a TV set in his room, taking notes with a pen and notepad in his lap. The pen sticks, and he shakes it up and down to get the ink running again. Peggy spots this from behind and thinks he is masturbating.
- There are some mild explorations of puberty and awkward romantic encounters with Bobby and his friends, including Bobby accidentally seeing Luanne naked, Connie having her first period, and Dooley having his shirt removed and being felt up by an older girl without his consent.
- Use of mild sexual dialogue/slang (see "Profanity") including "slut", "penis", "scrotum", "can" (buttocks), "boobies", "phone sex", "hooker", "melons", "narrow urethera", "vagina", "uterus", "virgin", "tomcat", "skank", "inbred", "getting busy", "two dogs a' humpin'", "porno", "lovemaking" and others.
- Some characters in mild to moderate undress; more severe examples include Dale wearing nothing but an old thong gracing his buttocks and crotch, Hank in boxer shorts, Luanne in a bikini (with her breasts animated literally bouncing up and down while she rides a boat), and Bobby mistakenly wearing cowboy chaps with no jeans beneath, revealing his buttocks.
- Mild references to honeymoons and other sexual activity, including a biker couple talking about how a "pair of assless pants and bottle of tequila got them through the whole night", a train conductor falsely accusing passengers of having an orgy, and Dale claiming that he and Nancy were always having "spectacular sex".
- While many parents might pass King of the Hill as a family show and children will likely ignore the sexual references, some parents might prefer to supervise their children while watching.
- Contains mild sexual references throughout the course of the series. A small number of episodes contain frequent moderate sexual references as they may deal with sex as a central theme. References are made to sexual education, pornography, foot fetishism, prostitution, virginity and naturism.
- A running joke throughout the series is that a married woman is having an affair with another man, and her child is the spitting image of the man that she is having an affair with, unbeknownst to her naïve and oblivious husband.
- Any nudity is very mild, and only ever consists of brief moments of rear nudity or nudity that is strategically concealed by objects or limbs.
Violence & Gore
-
- Many of Cotton's war stories feature excessive (and implied exaggerated) violence including disembowelment, shootings, burnings and "biting a Nazi's windpipe in half". He also has frequent war flashbacks and guilt for the people he killed. There is visible gore an in an episode, Cotton has a hallucination in a sauna where all of the Tojo soliders he killed are shown in a zombie-type form with parts of their body either missing, bloody, and/or covered in some sort of way.
- There are a minor number of death scenes throughout the series, most of which are offscreen. Minor characters Trip Larsen, Buckley, Big Jim, Pops, and later major supporting character Cotton Hill, all die either onscreen or offscreen in the series. Trip Larsen's death is probably the most excessively disturbing, as he's killed in a meat-packing plant.
- A raccoon that Bobby bonds with and wishes to keep as a pet gets shot with a hunting rifle; not gory, but the deceased animal's body is briefly seen. This is also true of a wild deer that was accidentally hit with Hank's truck (again not gory).
- Peggy, during a parachuting trip, has her chute fail to open. She falls to the ground but survives by landing in a manure field; her back has a compression fracture.
- In an episode Dale's finger is sliced off. Not graphic but a little blood shown.
- Contains infrequent very mild animated violence. Characters are occasionally punched or shoved. Stronger instances of violence (such as characters getting shot in flashbacks or fantasy sequences) are rare.
Profanity
-
- Words like hell and damn are frequently used
- The majority of the language typically comes from Hank, he constantly uses phrases such as "Jack Ass", "Im gonna kick your ass" and "Got dangit".
- There is some toilet humour throughout the series. This includes talk of constipation, fart jokes/noises, comments about dog poop, Bobby peeing his pants in fright, characters getting diarrhea after drinking tainted beer, and Bobby having diarrhea after eating stolen lutefisk at a religious meet-and-greet.
- Some milder expletives and name-calling, including "pig", "jerk", "commie", "redneck", "hillbilly", "boobies", "old coot", "banana" (used as a racial slur), "brat", "fatty" and "moron", among others.
- Bobby uses the word "slut" in Season 1. "Thieving slut" is also said by an old man in a mid-season storyline.
- Since there is nothing severely profane, many parents might pass King of the Hill as a family program, even if they might want to supervise their children while watching.
- Throughout the course of the show, there has only two uses of "goddamn".
- Contains only infrequent use of mild coarse language such as "son of a bitch", "pissed", and "crap". Also contains infrequent use of very mild coarse language such as "ass", "dammit", "hell", and "bastard".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Hank's friend Dale smokes frequently throughout the series.
- The season 1 episode "Keeping Up With Our Joneses" addresses the issue of cigarette smoking, with Bobby smoking cigarettes, as well as Hank and Peggy, including in flashbacks.
- Bobby and Tid-Pao team up for the school science fair; unbeknownst to Bobby, Tid-Pao gets him to steal supplies to help her build a meth lab, which is later taken by bobby to the school.
- Peggy drugs Hank with testosterone pills. A testosterone drug product called the Scrota-Bond (a wear-on patch) is also featured.
- Kahn is manic-depressive and uses prescription drugs. After failing to refill the prescription, Hank buys illegal pills in Mexico for him.
- Hank's friends drinks beer at the intro through out the whole series.
- Almost all episodes show beer and cigarettes, but most children have seen smoking and drinking in real life.
- Children might not pay much attention to the references to drugs such as weed or meth.
- Even though this is a family show, some parents might want children to be supervised while viewing.
- Contains frequent depictions of casual smoking and drinking.
- Some episodes contain references to illegal drugs and drug smuggling.
- In one episode, a character inadvertently smokes marijuana, much to his horror. Illegal drug use is neither condoned nor glamorized throughout the series.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- A character has suicidal tendencies in the Season 3 episode "Pretty, Pretty Dresses."
- Overall this is a family friendly cartoon but some episodes parents would want to supervise their children with.
