Hank Rutherford Hill
The protagonist of the show, Hank is a propane salesman who loves his job nearly as much as he loves his family. He's pretty introverted and can't cope with emotion very well, but he's clearly the most level-headed of the cast. Voiced by series creator Mike Judge. Tropes associated with Hank: 1. Aesop Amnesia: Half the episodes in the entire show couldn't happen if Hank didn't forget the many, many times he learned to accept Bobby for who he is, or realized that his father was a selfish jacka...
Peggy Hill
Peggy is Hank's wife, to whom he is Happily Married. Impulsive and ditzy, she causes trouble for the family with hare-brained ideas. She and Hank stay loyal to each other no matter what though. Voiced by Kathy Najimy Tropes associated with Peggy: 1. Alliterative Name: Her maiden name was Peggy Platter. 2. Brainy Brunette: Somewhat (though not as much as she thinks). 3. Calling The Father-In-Law Out 4. Cloudcuckoolander 5. Determinator: Partially deconstructed, as her belief that she can do an...
Bobby Jeffrey Hill
Bobby is their 12-year-old son, who wants to break into the entertainment business. Since he's kind of effeminate and has some strange interests (by his family's standards), Hank fears for the boy's future. He'll be alright, though. Voiced by Pamela Adlon. Tropes associated with Bobby: 1. Ambiguously Gay: Or so Hank thinks. He's not actually. 2. Big Eater 2.1. His appetite is as bizarre as it is large. Cotton, in charge of a boot camp, once attempted to punish Bobby for his appetite by making...
Bill Dauterive
Bill, one of Hank's closest friends, was a promising high school football player who later joined the Army with big hopes and dreams. Now middle aged, broke, and divorced, Bill's constantly depressed and full of self-loathing. The guys try to put up with him as best they can. Voiced by Stephen Root. Tropes associated with Bill: 1. Acquired Situational Narcissism: Occasionally when things actually go well for him. 2. Animals Hate Him: Dale acquired a falcon in one episode, and every time he to...
Jeff Boomhauer
A VERY fast-talking ladies man and one of Hank's childhood friends. His dialect can be hard to keep up with, but none of his friends seem to have any trouble talking to him. Voiced by Mike Judge. Tropes associated with Boomhauer: 1. Casanova 2. Darkskinned Blonde: Justified, in that he spends a lot of time outdoors and has a tanning bed in his house. 3. Four-Temperament Ensemble: The Phlegmatic. 4. Hidden Depths: Boomhauer is possibly the most philosophical and intellectual character on the s...
Dale Gribble
Dale rounds out Hank's circle of friends. Dale, an exterminator by trade, is a paranoid conspiracy theorist who has prepared for just about any unlikely situation you can think of. And yet, he can't seem to figure out that his lovely wife Nancy is having an affair right under his nose. Voiced by Johnny Hardwick. Tropes associated with Dale: 1. Adult Child 2. Afraid of Needles: To the point where he has a fit over getting his blood type tested... 3. Agent Mulder: Dale exemplifies this trope. A...
John Redcorn
1. Aesop Amnesia: In Season 4, the affair ends when Nancy starts falling back in love with Dale and when John feels guilty about betraying Dale's trust when he's only ever been a good friend (and helped John get documents that would eventually help him reclaim his peoples' land). In Season 11, he seems to have forgotten about all this and is eager to rekindle things with Nancy. 2. Author Existence Failure: His original voice actor, Victor Aaron, was killed in a car accident after recording hi...
Buck Strickland
1. The Alcoholic 2. Bad Boss: Occasionally. For example, putting Vickers in charge when he's in the hospital, and making Hankfeed his hounds. 3. Broken Pedestal: Averted, as no matter what he does (especially if it would get him arrested), Hank continues to idolize him. Warts and All could explain this, but one can only put up with so much... 3.1. Not to say that he's oblivious to his boss' shortcomings; in one episode, Hank tells Bobby that he's put out his first "Strickland fire", adding "A...
Ted Wassonasong
1. The Ace 2. Affably Evil 3. Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Although this could apply to his whole family. 4. Even Evil Has Standards: His and Cindy's dealings with the Kozy Kitchens corporation, which managed to track them down when they tried to hide on their private villa on an island. 5. Evil Counterpart: His family seems to exist as one for Kahn, Minh, and Connie. The three of them are obviously more Americanized by contrasting their accents, and they're much more successful then Khan's fam...
