I dont remember hank ever thinking bobby was gay

Really, who ever put that there was just trying to gossip —Preceding unsigned comment added by SoldierOfColbert (talk • contribs) 05:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First Name

I don't recall his first name ever being "Robert", when did they say this? IIRC, when he looked up his birth certificate it said Hank/Henry(i'm not sure which at the moment) for his first name and he's said before that his name is Hank Rutherfor Hill. I've never heard anyone say Robert.

Ive heard on more than one occasion Hank being referred to as Henry. The times mainly were , one where Peggy was speaking to other soccer moms and referred to him as Henry. Peggy mainly referred to him this way when in certain crowds of people.Kongkit (talk) 02:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)KongkitKongkit (talk) 02:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Favorite College

When does Hank ever mention SMU?

Hank's age

article establishes that he was born in 1959. Is there any backup for this? Later, the article says that he's in his early 40s.

I personally think the article/inbox should establish his age and not a birth year. The show is on a floating timeline, where none of the characters age drastically, but the show reflects the current time. -- Jombage (talk) 13:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

Some of the trivia seems pointless. Do we really need to tell people that he keeps his lawn clean and pays his bills on time?--Grant the Wise 00:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The first line of the trivia is wrong. It is Bill who holds the rushing record and Bill who played Running Back --69.177.189.8 14:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually Hank was the running back and had the rushing record. Bill was a wide receiver and had the touchdown record.

Time to do a little clean up then. I'm going to cut out some of the unnecesary stuff. Sound like a good idea?--Grant the Wise 00:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

That is debatable. While it WAS pointless to have things like his lawn and keeping his bills on time, he does pay a lot of attention to that lawn. He did once say:

"...I poured my heart and soul into my lawn, the tender feelings I kept back from my family..."

See? Usually, that means that people <ahem...> like their lawn. --81.145.241.75 13:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Republican

Why is Hank listed under fictional Republicans? His partisanship is never established in the series. -user:Brian Murphy

Hank is a conservative. That's been well established since the first episode. He favors traditional family values (see the "Peggy's Turtle Song" (season 2) episode if you don't believe me). He voted for Reagan and probably Bush Jr. Ergo, he's a Republican. — EagleOne\^Talk 02:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in one episode in the 2nd season (Jumpin' Crack Bass), he stated that Clinton was "not my President; I voted for Dole..." in an argument denying the drug charges against him. So Hank is a Republican, despite the episode where he and the others fawned over Ma Richards. -Troy

Why does it say that Hank voted for Gore in the 2000 Election? I was under the impression the episode was about Hank coming around to voting for Bush121.210.30.118 (talk) 15:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree that Hank is a republican. There is a difference between republican and conservative. I do not think Hank would approve of corporate ownership of businesses (as evidenced by his hate of Mega-Lo Mart); he rather opts for small, family owned businesses that are associated with conservative, family values. This is further evidenced by his membership in a grocery Co-Op that sell home grown food. He also would not be in favor of using tax dollars to subsidize big business, which is something that both the Republicans and Democrats are guilty of doing. Because of his tendencies towards a smaller government role in how people live their lives, Hank is a conservative, not to be confused with a republican. It should be noted, however, that Hank has voted for republican candidates because most republican candidates' campaign is centered around lowering taxes and deregulation of business restrictions, something that Hank might view as helping to preserve his freedoms as an American citizen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chinhwa (talk • contribs) 17:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hank's appearance

How dose Hanks half brother look exactly like him when Hank clearley looks like his Mother?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.251.0.90 (talk • contribs) 17:42, September 25, 2006 (UTC)

Because they have the same father, Cotton Hill. — EagleOne\^Talk 00:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm talking about Junichiro not GH. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.251.0.90 (talk • contribs) 23:31, September 26, 2006 (UTC)

Like I said, they have the same father. Cotton fathered both Hank and Junichiro. — EagleOne\^Talk 02:02, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The talk section is for discussing the article, not what it is about. And bl bla bla. You should know where I'm going with this.--Suit-n-tie ^{What Have I Done?!} 20:43, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

who removed the picture of hank from the page who ever did please put it back its seem realy stupid that other characters EG dale , bobby all have pictures on there page but hank ( star of ths show and main character ) does not

On that note, I KNOW there wa sboth a picture and a userbox here. Where'd they go?--Wizardman 00:15, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the picture should be edited. It would make more sense to use a picture with Hank alone, rather than pictured with other characters.

Mathew Williams 06:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why the hell is the pic a pic of The Hills, instead of just Hank, and from a Simpsons episode.[[User:SxeFluff--SxeFluff (talk) 23:31, 24 November 2007 (UTC)]] 5:37, 24 November 2007[reply]

Quotes page?

Hank has some great quotes.. would a quotes page be plausable, or would it be to off topic?

"If Bobby learns to cook and clean, what motive will he have for getting a wife?" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.142.199.186 (talk) 04:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Asperger's

Should that line even be there? Giving even a possible diagnosis for a cartoon character might be excessive. Obonicus 07:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The whole idea seems rather ludicrous. I'll remove it. — EagleOne\^Talk 02:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Height & Weight

We learn his height and weight (6'2" and 220 lbs.) in the season 9 episode "Dale to the Chief", when he gets his renewed driver's license that accidentally lists him as female, which leads to a huge battle against the government, Hill-style. We also learn his eyes are brown.70.94.42.235 (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Woman

In the episode where Hank does not want to hire a woman to work at Strickland, the reason he did not want to hire that woman was because she was coming on to Hank and even grabbed his ass at one point. The current wording makes Hank sound sexist. Does anyone else have any objections to me changing this?Prussian725 (talk) 21:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't he also scared because she turned him on a little? Mjpresson (talk) 04:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added el's and refs. Mjpresson (talk) 04:21, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She didn't grab at him until after Strickland hired her. He was behind a desk during the interview and she was professional during it. He leaned against her as not being compatible, she didn't know football, and that she would upset Peggy. Peggy didn't mind, defended Maria even, but he clearly decided against hiring her after that night. (It's implied, but not actually said, that he may have thought of Maria during "ya know" with Peggy and that that's what turned him totally against hiring her)--T. Anthony (talk) 04:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Parody in Family Guy

Maybe somebody should add that Hank Hill was parodied in Family Guy's episode Petergeist? Reliable Forever ^talk 19:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beavis and Butthead

You know an early version of Hank is in Beavis and Butthead. I'm actually surprised no one mentioned this in the article. I think it was Anderson in that show. He was seen mostly in the Beavis and Butthead Do America movie. He has many similarities to Hank, especially how Anderson shows his devotion to gas and his love for the country. 75.82.125.215 (talk) 21:21, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
