The genius of King of the Hill lays in the deliberate exaggeration of the mundane to such extrodinary levels that you can't help but crack a smile.
A perfect example is the episode where Hank becomes horrified when Peggy and Bobby cook something with - gasp - a non-propane fuel.
In my mind, Hank Hill is the ultimate straight man.
