Hank Hill's Opinion on Soccer

[TheRevengeancer]

ITT: absurd nationalism

because what country you're from certainly matters

[wow1022]

problem europe?

[schtheguitarman]

You left out the best part where Bobby tells Hank not to hate what he doesn't understand an hank says "I don't hate you Bobby."

[therealsporadicaarmy]

I do not give on cock of a fuck about basketball, I am canadian, and frankly noone here watches it. I dont like the idea of getting 125 points in a game and still losing.

[Coconutszz]

@therealsporadicaarmy thats why ur in canada

[MCSuire]

Whether it be gridiron, soccer, or rugby, they all suck compared to basketball.

Basketball is the REAL American Sport. It was invented in America and ONLY in America.

[jtthegreek]

@MCSuire But it was invented by a Canadian DR. James Naismith you ignoramus

[MCSuire]

@jtthegreek Doesn't matter it was still invented in America. Yes, you are correct, the game was made by a guy from Canada, BUT this same guy had created the game as a gym coach in Springfield, Massachusetts (yes, there is a Springfield there).

Just because the inventor of the game was Canadian doesn't mean the game was invented in Canada, ignoramus.

[xXNirvanaLithiumXx]

@MCSuire Learn your shit fool.

[MCSuire]

@xXNirvanaLithiumXx Already have; go learn yours.

[xXNirvanaLithiumXx]

@MCSuire Obviously not, this sport came from the heart of a Canadian, so there for it was invented in Canada you ignoramus.

[MCSuire]

@xXNirvanaLithiumXx The "heart" of a Canadian? Ugh you're pathetic.

Look, basketball was invented IN America. Yes, it WAS invented by a Canadian, but that Canadian was a gym coach who I am guessing immigrated to the states for some reason and invented the game while trying to teach his class on a rainy day when they had to stay inside.

[MCSuire]

@xXNirvanaLithiumXx Listen, I really just don't care for you or what you have to say, because from where I am you're just another pathetic loser with too much spare time to himself so he gets his fun from arguing with people over stupid pointless things on here, just like the rest of us.

I'm not going to waste any further time with you and your asinine way of thinking.

[DDRhappiness17]

if he said that in a european bar, ill pray if he survives lol

[lordxheroth]

Scroo u all. Basketball forever!! Lietuva! Lietuva!!

[randomwhiteguy8784]

Hank pretty much said European men are sissies.



[deathsaurer515]

@randomwhiteguy8784 Sad thing is, I live in Ireland, I'm a woman, and I can say easily that most of them are xD

[cantsnapurpicture]

you guys are just mad because our french fries are better than yours.

[PasoFreak]

Bahhahah all the butthurt ignorant European comments are so fucking funny. You people make me sick

[GinoTheeStranger]

I'm just going to expect a futbol/football trollfest. in the comments sections

[MeetSimmio]

TODAY'S WEATHER WILL BE A CHANCE OF SNOW WITH A HIGH CHANCE OF SHITSTORMS

[DrummerX77]

Fuck soccer. So boring

[ObiTrev]

Soccer is for people with no arms, and have been impaled by steel rods.

[azteca903]

@ObiTrev American football is for people with no legs, and have impaled by steel rods (if that makes any sense).

[ObiTrev]

@azteca903 It dosen't!

[IamCookieMonster2]

where is 0:13 

[IRONHIDE434]

@IamCookieMonster2 in hell burning with charcoal

[supereee7]

2012 London summer Olympics- Hank hill is forbiden to watch are Olympics until he says sorry to Europe.

[knifeman2000]

omg

[Tecanuva]

Tell ya hwat

[MrJustinArt]

he's not wrong...

[TheForsakenEagle]

22 Europeans didn't "take the piss."

[DarkDave64]

Wait... so in Europe, the women play sports so that the MEN can stay in the kitchen? My God, everything there is backwards.

[gliva6]

@DarkDave64 please tell my your joking

[TehOriginal1]

@DarkDave64 you sir are a genius.

[kaino1990]

and i love this show, mostly because of hank hills backward thinking of the new generation but also of the many situations that bobby disappoints hank

[lfrommtl]

you're all idiots.

king of the hill is satire, get over yourselves people

[Liamdonoghueownsyou]

@SinCorazon666 The 666 in ur name is so edgy

[temptphate]

Lol this show is so genious...every single character is so developed.

[googlevideosrule]

why do americans think that football is for wimps - its one of the most dangerous sports because of all the injuries - and american footballers are covered head to toe in protection in fact most american sports are for complete wimps and english sports are for real tough blokes like for example boxing, rugby, cricket are all tough guy sports. Cricket is for tough guys because you have to catch a ball that is practicly a spherical brick un like in baseball fucking american pussies.

[DrummerX77]

@googlevideosrule Because they run into each other at full speed...? 300 pound guys. You dont know anything about the NFL. Kindly fuck off and get cancer.

[googlevideosrule]

@DrummerX77 dont care, english sports are better than american ones its just a fact of life.

[DrummerX77]

@googlevideosrule Not really, but if you keep saying that. It might come true.

[googlevideosrule]

@DrummerX77 american sports are for pussies

[DrummerX77]

@googlevideosrule Says the guy who can barely skateboard and looks gay as hell.

[googlevideosrule]

@DrummerX77 american footballers are covered in pads and all take steroids therefore they are pussies

[DrummerX77]

@googlevideosrule Oh and Soccer players dont take steroids? LOL and we wear pads because if we didnt people would be dying.

[googlevideosrule]

@DrummerX77 americans are scared to take off their protection - what fucking pussies hahaha

[DrummerX77]

@googlevideosrule >people would be dying. >Wouldnt't be a sport then. Yeah your logic is that of an autistic child.

[googlevideosrule]

@DrummerX77 why would they die?

[DrummerX77]

@googlevideosrule Mainly because of brain injuries.

[googlevideosrule]

@DrummerX77 you should just take off those stupid pads man - everyone thinks you are wimps wearing them

[RockyBalboa211]

@googlevideosrule: That's sort of stupid reasoning there... not all footballers take steroids, and the padding is needed since most American Footballers are muscular (much bigger than the average rugby player). Without the padding a lot of people would die.

[googlevideosrule]

american football sucks

[Canadianflipboy1]

@googlevideosrule at least they don't fake getting hurt or injuries...

[ninjabuddy964]

@googlevideosrule Let's see you try getting speared by a 300+ pound defensive end. Then you'll understand why they wear pads.

[googlevideosrule]

american football is for fat wimps haha

[sc0rpoon]

@googlevideosrule hahaah thats what american handegg is a SISSY fat man sport ahhaha

[ElectricWaddle]

@googlevideosrule Mygodareyoustilltalking.MOV

I don't understand why everyone feels the need to prove that they can catch a ball and get dry humped by other men without protection or with it.

[PasoFreak]

@googlevideosrule Wow nice to see you ignorant Europeans all thumbs up the xenophobic comments. How fucking typical. It's a shame all you anti-American Pricks only talk shit over the internet rather to our faces. And for the record having played both soccer, rugby, and American football. American football is by far the tougher sport. But typical European complain about everything, you cunts never change :)

[sc0rpoon]

@PasoFreak here in France american Handegg is a SISSY sport.. american handegg is a stupid fat man sport ahahahaa

[fellsword716]

@sc0rpoon No professional soccer player has ever died due to injuries he sustained on the field. American football has had multiple deaths due to the nature of the sport. The sport that has had people die from playing it isn't a sport I would call sissy. I would call badminton sissy but not american or european football.

[sc0rpoon]

@fellsword716

here in France we played Rugby and american handegg is a sissy sport compared to Rugby. we much rather play Rugby or FootbaII here

[GlibSweaterVest]

@sc0rpoon Rugby is much better than football... Seriously, not even close.

[sc0rpoon]

@GlibSweaterVest they are both cooI here in France we are good at Rugby and FootbaII even though the last Fifa worId cup suck

[GlibSweaterVest]

@sc0rpoon I wish Rugby and Football were bigger in the U.S... Better than American Football.

[UncleSpankification]

@sc0rpoon Rugby sounds like fun if it is what I have heard: A bunch of barbarians throwing each other around and beating the crap out of people over a round object.

No lie, I could get into this.

[MCSuire]

@UncleSpankification Well by that logic it sounds about the same as American football.

Then again from my experience, American players don't throw and beat each other around, unless they're either drunk or the high school pep rally is less than seven hours away.

[UncleSpankification]

@MCSuire That's usually the high school or college leagues that get drunk as shit and beat each other around. But yeah, in the actual sport I've never seen someone being lifted and thrown. Except for maybe one of the coaches, lol.

[Fallout3Follower]

@sc0rpoon How is football a sissy sport?

[youallhavegaynames]

@sc0rpoon I think it's funny having a french kid telling an american about being tough... I thought your slogan was "we quit"

[XxMewValentinexX]

@sc0rpoon You have less likes than the 2nd top comment! WTF? O:

[dumbassmoron]

@PasoFreak i wouldnt call football the tougher sport. both have different challenges and obstacles like football requires strategy and power while soccer requires control and crazy stamina. I have the power to play a game of football but i definitely dont have the energy to play soccer for 90 min.

[marcmurray1]

@PasoFreak But America's all the way over there! *Points over there*

[squadalawereoff1]

lol @ shitstorm below

[Mbash93]

@squadalawereoff1 Amen. I never asked for this.

[RedDaVincy]

@Mbash93 Is your vision augmented?

[Mbash93]

@RedDaVincy If only...

[MrMecowest]

soccer isn't popular in the u.s is because it sucks and nobody cares that's why we're no good at it' it's because all of our great athletes play other sports if the great player from other sports played soccer then maybe we'll be good but none of them are because like i said before nobody cares about soccer in america

[theycallmeLEGIT]

Soccer just isnt a popular sport in the united states actually. If you want to know why we hate it so much go type in Daniel Tosh Tosh.o Talks about soccer or sumthing like that its just boring and annoying and frankly with all the other t.v shows and main-stream sports we have we would rather watch that its way more entertaining then shitty ass jogging for 45 minutes in a game where its likely the total combined score is under 5 for hours of play. im just saying

[SuperBspb]

No it's because you can watch it for two hours and not have anyone score.

[GilbertAlvarado]

"soccer" is the greatest sport ever! it might not be really popular in the US but it's still very known around the world. screw football and baseball. Football FTW!

[dodokitty14]

Why do people care why soccer is popular in the U.S.? Just watch the damn video and enjoy the humor. While i don't always agree with Hank's views on things I still find them quite hilarious.

[glacier861]

Soccer is not popular because in the USA, it has to compete with distinctively American sports, such as baseball, football, and basketball. Soccer came last, so it has had to compete with other sports. Baseball isn't popular in many European nations because soccer came first and has been established longer.

[Davis4037]

Soccer actually is quite popular, just not as popular as many other sports

[apierko43]

ill never watch king of the hill again.

[SGKlD]

.. wait what? Their HUSBANDS did the cooking?

[painlessissuicide]

American football is a boring rip-off of rugby

can't play for more than five seconds at a time without having to stop and catch their breath

[bladiumdragon]

@painlessissuicide Ateast it's less suicidal than the rugby players who wear skin-tight uniforms.

[TuahShinguru]

Philosopher's Football is superior to all other sports.

[LtotheULZ]

the reason why soccer is looked down upon in america, is because the people associated with the sport are fucking tools.whereas in europe, they're awesome. Being a profressional football player in europe is an almost honorable thing, considering you're awesome at it.

[CarlChipSanders]

Americans hated soccer because they took one to many shots to the nuts. 

[JFiannaca]

Ohhhhhh that's understandable

[Ichiboy900]

I hate football. I prefer football.

[masivemurdar]

@Ichiboy900 its spelled futbol

[xXCH405Xx]

I lol'd so hard the first time I saw this

[Twi11ig]

Someday there will be so many Mexicans in the USA that Soccer will eclipse American Football in popularity to the extent that (our!) Black Athletes will flock to and dominate that sport like they do the NBA and the NFL.

What you gonna do then, world? Follow Jai ali?

*My very first racial, if not racist, YouTube comment.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

(USA! USA! USA!)

[Twi11ig]

@Twi11ig like a moron I misspelled Jai alai. #whogivesashit

[MikehMike01]

@Twi11ig Kill yourself.

[iToastyTart]

I thought this was how it was invented for a while, damn you Hank.

[muttley299]

football was invented in the middle ages by the english and it was brutal.

[Nickycom19]

I hope you guys know that this show is suppose to be a joke about a stereotypical Texan family. Not really something to have a debate over, maybe a laugh over.. but not really a debate over

[airmanmilan]

DOUBLE KILL

[Skullkid12349]

amen amem football all day ny jets notre dame

[MrRafataff]

play. Running around a cricket pitch, wearing vests, and you call this football?!! The gall of it!

[MrRafataff]

That ridiculous hybrid of a game that involves rugby and football? A sport that only you and Ireland

[MrRafataff]

Don't get me started on Australia

[MrRafataff]

Australia?

[Treblaine]

Look at all those fucking dives... it is the lamest sport in the world for how much it rewards tattling charlatan drama-queens

[amazingmason34]

Its just panzies in armour playin rugby

[LeChuck99]

Reasons football isnt popular in America

A: Requires to much stamina

B: Its too boring for Americans

C: Its a cultural thing, kind of like why cricket, hurling and rugby arnt that popular

[BenjaminKuruga]

@LeChuck99 To much stamina? HAVE YOU BEEN TO NORTH AMERICAN FOOTBALL PRACTICE? pffff, stamina, watch some training videos on football it takes alot of fucking stamina

[thrivilll30]

i came here from nyan cat???!?!?!!?

[AirCanMaster]

KOTH clips and youtube go together like peanutbutter and jelly.

[Mrpastry909]

Reason soccer isn't popular in the us is because frankly, the only exciting part is when the guy yells "Gooooooooooooooooooooooool!"

[MrStig691]

@Mrpastry909 ...Football.

[Kleave333]

@Mrpastry909 what is gool?

[Mrpastry909]

@Kleave333

I was referring to the famous Mexican announcer, well known for shouting "Goooooooooooooooooool!" after someone scores a goal. I did not put an a in "Goooooooooooooooooool" because the announcer speaks spanish, and the spanish word for goal is gol.

[DEEZNUTSPITT2014]

Hank Hill is a Faggot

[xTemplar1]

in 5 years america won't even be able to buy a soccer ball !

[cantryss]

Ain't this the truth!

[metathus]

Haha, damn, Hank basically is spot on here.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

The real reason soccer isnt popularr in the USA is we suck at it, and we like to pretend we're the best at everything.

[critter505]

@SpadaccinoLuciano Our women are good at it.....see the correlation?

[hanmerboys]

@SpadaccinoLuciano well you guys like hockey will in the north at least and your defenetly not the best at that your maybe like 4th or 5th

[goothanalla]

@SpadaccinoLuciano we could be great at soccer too but all of our athletes are to busy playing other sports, and no athletic american kid dreams of being a soccer player

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@goothanalla Pft, yeah, sports like BASEBALL, wehere all you gotta do is swing a bat and run.

Soccer takes real skill. It doesnt suck, you suck at it.

[goothanalla]

@SpadaccinoLuciano I never said it sucked, i am not big on baseball either, just saying alot of american athletes are playing other sports and dont grow up wanting to be soccer players like most other countries kids

[kriskurtisallen]

@SpadaccinoLuciano To be fair, if american football didn't exist, many of them would be playing soccer for the USA. I am not saying we would be the best, but we would do far better.

[The92Waffles]

@SpadaccinoLuciano

I dont think we did THAT bad in the last World Cup. I was happy just to see us beat England..

[RebirthWoWGuild]

@SpadaccinoLuciano The reason Soccer is popular is poorer countries is because their poor, and soccer requires 1 ball, and at max 2 goals on top of that.

[gabrielwingue]

@RebirthWoWGuild and a ball can easily be made temporarily with all kinds of stuff (I've seen pictures of kids taking socks they're given by humanitarian aid and wrapping them all over themselves to make a ball) and you can make goals with rocks if need be.

It's the people's game, you don't need fancy equipment or special training. Can you kick? Do you have something to kick? Do you have somewhere to kick it? Done.

[Emigdiosback]

@SpadaccinoLuciano close, but the women's soccer team won second place in the women's world cup (personally i think they threw the game to Japan.)

[animeflagger10]

@SpadaccinoLuciano were not good at soccer cuz all of our good athletes play realsports

[michaelthierry14]

@animeflagger10 you just proved his pt., u arrogant loser.

[animeflagger10]

@michaelthierry14 ur a fucking retard

[michaelthierry14]

@animeflagger10 nice comeback, vulgarities ur way of submission, isn't it? what a dumb loser

[animeflagger10]

@michaelthierry14 lol learn proper grammar

[AgentCarter]

@SpadaccinoLuciano bullshit

[whitefright339]

@SpadaccinoLuciano It's painfully obvious you're not American. ur just a dumbass fake and gay prissy bitch mad cuz soccer is for girls and gays

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@whitefright339 I live in America, thanks. Have all my life. See, that's why I'm talking to you, now, in American English. Although you don't seem to be very experienced in the language.

[MrStig691]

@SpadaccinoLuciano You are not speaking "American English". You are speaking English.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@MrStig691 with an American Dialect. IE, American English.

[MajinSaha]

He's such a redneck. If he only traveled around the world ( beside Japan and Mexico )and saw how people live outside US, he would be more open to new experience and emotions. Oh well, what can you expect from a mere salesman from south of US who's so full of himself?

[benadrylp]

@MajinSaha No offense but it's just a cartoon, they're exaggerating America's ignorance on purpose so it would be funny. Have a good day.

[MajinSaha]

@benadrylp Exactly. But I know some really good examples from real life, although these people are from East coast of US. And watching King of the Hill reminds me of them greatly. Bye!

[TheBigGuyBGY]

i also had this talk with my father

[nyy2ss]

Bwaaah!

[EWGFus3r]

its funny cuz its true

[UltimateW910]

Hank is such a kill joy lol

[peteykirch]

The best part is Bobby's line right afterwards

"Why do you hate what you don't understand Dad?"

[Knightrem]

Soccer = Commie kick ball.

[stejhour]

This is one of my favourite ever episodes but it's still a bit of a shame that it ends with "soccer" feminized and inferior to American football. I love European football and NFL and don't get why they have to be in competition with each other, and as funny as the episode was I was disappointed to see the writer's saw fit to show soccer as the lesser sport in the third act. If I was an American kid it would make me less inclined to play soccer, Puffinstuffs etc.

Still,KotH is the best show ever

[Caconymic]

@stejhour Portraying soccer as inferior was the whole point of the episode, the entire show's theme is stereotyping the culture and lifestyle of the kind of people who would live in a rural area of Texas. I doubt the creators of the show actually think soccer is a worse sport, but that's the joke.

[stejhour]

@Caconymic That is the case up until the third act, I suppose, although you have to ignore the repeated depiction of soccer as feminized, the coach as a liberal wimp, the "flowery" theme that accompanies the soccer scenes. That's all fine (and funny), but then in the third act Bobby simply abandons soccer in favour of good old fashion American football, where redemption is found. It leaves you feeling that soccer was always the inferior choice. Whatever, though. The episode is 14 years old.

[MrRafataff]

What the hell is soccer? It's called football. And what you lot call football isn't played with your feet. Explain that one.

[Mbash93]

@MrRafataff The standard size is 12 inches (one foot).

[snausages88]

@Mbash93 Well I learned something new today. I always wondered why it was called football with no feet.

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

@Mbash93 It's still not a ball, dude.

[Ltheworldchanger]

@Mbash93 He was just Butt Slapped

[stancosmos]

@Mbash93 i see the argument, but that's not at all the reason. It's pretty clear that football (soccer) was around way before american football. i sincerely doubt they just happened to make the same name without knowing that there was already a sport with that name. a sport that is easily the most popular in the world.
