Localized King of the Hill

If there was any King of the Hill-like Sup Forums-related media about your hometown/where you live now what would it be like?

And by King of the Hill-like I mean something that just nails the spirit, atmosphere and people of where you're from/currently living but still has widespread mainstream appeal.

>Sacramento

I wouldn't watch it and no one else would either.

I guess it'd maybe be like Mission Hill, only much more boring. Nothing here but a university and a bunch of niche stores and restaurants.

>small town in california
>town is mostly white though slowly becoming more diverse
>Hank equivalent is probably commutes to SF or Oakland for work. He's never content with what he's doing
>Peggy equivalent graduated with a liberal arts degree and wishes people would take her seriously
>Bobby is follows dank memes
>Dale equivalent, he's a white guy makes more money than Nancy equivalent,pushes that the government is great and conservative media portays them badly but is still a cuck
>Nancy probably in charge of the town's Cornfest. Get's a nice dicking from Mexican John Redocrn
>Bill nothing changes
>Boomhauer is the most right winged out of all of them but still a chill womanizer
>Kahn and his family are Philipino or Indian instead of Laocean

>grew up in small-town Texas
Literally nothing would change.

Also unrelated but both of my parents cannot stand KotH, even though they were both born and raised in the same county as I was born. I like it, however. Maybe it hits too close to home for them?

Shouldn't his driver's license say Henry?

her given name is Hank

He'll never pass as female with no ass.

baltimore

everyone is a nigger

>South Orange County
Middle class working family running paycheck to paycheck while dealing with loads of hipsters and people living beyond their means, with ridiculously wealthy people here and there and a slow influx of chinese immigrants buying up all the land.

It would be The Nutshack.

>central MN

I think that's basically Fargo.

I remember they mentioned my town once in a KotH episode

yeah that's pretty accurate, which part of OC did you grow up in?

Irvine resident myself, although I currently live in Murrieta

Funnily enough, the zip code given for their made up town matches my hometown's zip code.

so exactly the same.

But Wikipedia says Henry Wellington Hill.

Did Wikipedia lie?

I choose to believe he's Ray Liotta's character from Goodfellas in witness protection.

Jokes on you, im from the area this was based on.

>Queens NY

Spiderman? but not really

>suburban Chicago
>typical picket fence white family land down one street
>literal straight out of mexico down the other
>bumfuck nowhere cornfields off in the distance

it really is an odd place when you think about it. It'd be cool in a show.

>Portland, Oregon

Fuck if I know.

>Idaho
It'd be the same thing, except with Mormons. Kahn would be a Canadian, or a Bosnian. Football obsession, propane, cows - all the same.

sup arlingtonfag

>small city in Finland
Touching on the small divides in people like those who prefer flats to houses.
Trying to ignore the growing tensions between refugees, immigrants mistaken for refugees, neo nazis and disgruntled normal folks mistaken for neo nazis.

Probably similar to , except the commute would be from Tigard to Portland. There would also be slightly less Mexicans.

There's not but it would need these guys:

Easy.

>City's divided by the Willamette river into east and west
>West being wealthier families, suburban soccer moms from Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and 'Niketown'
>East being working class natives fighting off the influx of young 20-something hipster transplants from California and the midwest. Minorities pushed into North Portland due to gentrification.

>Every person you meet has moved to here in the past 4 years
>Everyone hates California including the Californian transplants

>Rio grande valley
Just make a spin off with enrique and I'll have my show

A bunch of tiny close-minded sociopaths shouting at each other about made up fears and persecutions. Everyone is super proud of their shitty car that gets banged up to fuckoffidonia every winter. Everyone whines about road conditions but also refuses to pay taxes. Public agreement it's the worst place in the world, but no outsiders are allowed to talk shit.

>metro detroit michigan

similar to KOTH, but add juggalos, more wiggers, and some blacks every now and again

Nothing happens in any of the episodes but it still manages to get hailed the most depressing show of the decade.

>Las Vegas

The story every episode is some unique thing being imploded or bought out and turned into a hipster ridden cultureless void like every other part of the city

What? His middle name is Rutherford, as established when he killed Debbie and dropped his HRH lighter. Unless His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales made a stop in Arlen.

Depends on the area. If we're talking macomb then it should be 100% white trash.

I basically grew up in Letterkenny, buttercup.

What happened to Las Vegas?

Fargo already exists, you betcha

A lot of shit, but basically
>no business, art, music, tech scene
>Not exaggerating, it's just casinos and suburbs forever
>low cost of living so most people here are just cheap Californians
>they want to make it California
>destroy older businesses for tourist traps
>artsy types set up "keep it weird" city proper but it's like two blocks of run down buildings with murels
>there are three music venues that aren't casinos
>theres basically nothing here for locals to do
>institute laws that reflect Bay Area influence
>somehow it manages to be crowded in an endless suburb
>town houses and apartments at the edge of the desert is the only construction off the strip now
>the suburbs continue

You hear old people say "this was all desert before" a lot

It's always the Californians.

>roundabout Tacoma, Washington
>Hank works at one of the local native-run casinos
>Peggy is still a teacher, but at one of the shitty city schools
>Bobby probably smokes weed
>Lots of Asians instead of Mexicans
>Also lots of hipsters, but at least they're not Seattle hipsters

Talking specifically the Eastpointe region

Ah, I see. In that case, only 95% white trash.

F is for family takes place in a rust belt city past it's prime with a growing divide between the upperclass that run everything and the constantly dwindling worker class that still has rampant raciel tension from the point of view of a guy whose in a rough marriage and an unsure future for their children, all tied together by a football team that's shit but everyone still loves. So, that could be any of them, and since I live in one it's local to me.

>mid-ohio valley

Pretty similar, just replace propane with the various chemical industries around here.

I dunno. A show about a bunch of mostly old people in rural Bavaria. Kinda comfy, has a few genuinely hilarious moments , a very special episode about racism, another one about the dangers of uncontrolle drinking, but mostly it's pretty unremarkable.

>Wyoming County WV, mainly the Western half.
>Several characters from one of the worst Burroughs, kind of the epicenter of our incredibly concentrated prescription drug abuse problem.
>At least one character who constantly bitches about how Obama destroyed the already dying coal industry, Dale style
>Small and boring, high school sports are pretty much the only thing to do without leaving the county, making the rivalry between the two high schools massively important.
>Like not even a Walmart.
>Few small hollows where minors (and people in their late twenties who haven't got their shit together) go to get hammered, smoke weed, fight. Small minority experiments with coke, minority of them will go on to become addicted to prescription drugs.
>Honestly would probably be better off as a Seinfield, Cops, KotH composite thing that focused heavily on the high schoolers and their struggles like trying to find their political identity as a lot of them move further left of center than the previous generation.
>forgot to mention, white as fuck. Small black population, even smaller Middle Eastern population, virtually unexistant Asian and Hispanic pops.
>Pair of cops would be good characters, focusing on small town bullshit like homeless addicts tattooing the palms of their hands and high schoolers fighting, all at McDonald's.
Honestly I don't know if WyCo would be a good tv show beyond mockumentary type shit like a less trashy Trailer Park Boys, but I could probably write several books on it.

>Nova Scotia
>literally Trailer Park Boys
Well fuck, bud.

>central maine

Oregon is basically the Maine of the west, so pretty much gravity falls but with more pine trees and psychotic weather. And various jipes about Moxie and its small, but weirdly dedicated fanbase.

*Well fuck, bubs.

>Sarasota, FL

Probably Golden Girls or like the comic strip Crankshaft. Full of uppity old people and people stuck in the service industry.

Hell, Cougar Town wasn't far off either.

>And by King of the Hill-like I mean something that just nails the spirit, atmosphere and people of where you're from/currently living but still has widespread mainstream appeal.

i live in new jersey and the closest thing we to what you're describing is probably the original clerks

When did it start? What was it like before? I've only been very recently, so I wouldn't know.

Northern Finland, Oulu. Propably takes place in neigbouring locales which fit the show a little better than main city of Oulu

>Hannu Kukkulainen is an engineer who, after being fired from Nokia when Microsoft sacked it in cyberpunkesque corporate invasion with Trojan Horse CEO, joined with some other engineers and now (tries) to cell cellphones and cellphone related products. The conflict of Propane ->His Wife is a workaholic career woman "working" in a fillerjob in city archive where she complains about her "work-related" cronic injuries and torments her coworkers and bosses.
>Their son is an indifferent soon to be NEET who cannot even muster enough motivation for studies or other pursuits in life.
>Other neighbours are roughly the same, with some minor readjustments, for an example Bill is implied to be an alcoholic, Boomhauer speaks with hard-to discern regional dialect/swedish and Dale blames everything on European Union/Russia instead of the UN.
>Kahn is propably still an asian emigrant (refugees don't really like living outside of Urban centers).

>small town in Sweden
It's raining, there are mopeds everywhere, families with small children move there because "it will be so good for the children", said children grow up and do drugs and people who already live there complain when things change. And the local politicians do slightly illegal things 24/7.

I don't go outside enough to know what my town is like

>Jax Beach of Florida

I cannot even fucking fathom what that would be like.

>hometown

It would be the same except dustier and with more Mexicans.

>where you live now

Hank would commute from Boerne like most of the good ol boys I currently work with.

My hometown is one of the ones that directly inspired Arlen, so I guess nothing changes.

>Hometown
>English midlands, Kettering.
Pointless post industrial town. Built on shoe factories which have long since closed and now a warehouse/goods transport hub.
Neighbouring town of Corby all have Scottish accents (except the newer East European immigrants) because the town was built as a steelworks and populated almost entirely by Glaswegians.
A few local landmarks could make for decent backgrounds or plot devices. Otherwise replace the alley with a pub and change the clothes.
Any mass appeal will be UK specific jokes about recession, immigration and the homogenisation of highstreets and housing estates.

>Exurb Massachusetts

Absolutely nothing happens here except drunk drivers.

>New Jersey
An italian, a hindu, and two whites stand around and drink beer. Smog everywhere.

>Cleveland suburbs
It'd be kind of boring I think.
Jokes about the weather being erratic.
Ghetto black areas clashing with people who act like they are in rural Louisiana.
Lots of farm land weirdly close to the shitty Lake Erie.
People who fish for fun because why the fuck would you choose to get your food from the lake.
A lot of grey and brown.

I'd watch it. I actually like Cuyahoga based stuff. Lot of good media set in that neck of the woods. Like Calvin & Hobbes

Well i grew up in the same texas suburb as mike judge

>fellow small town Californian
Ayy
>Hank works a modest light-blue-collar job, not unlike the original, and begrudgingly lives here in his home state, knowing that moving to another would take his kid from his friends, and that no matter how much he may fit in, the locals in that state will just see him as another cancerous transplant. Is more ok with not following all the rules when it comes to keeping some of the more special family firearms in the family.
>Peggy fits in great as she was in the original around here, teaching year 1 Spanish classes at public high school
>Bobby would also be a perfect fit for the most part as his original characterization
>Dale is the still the foil hat he is, but with more material on government weather manipulation engineering our drought to increase dependence on authority
>Nancy works as a KTVU weather correspondent
>Bill can stay the same
>boomhauer is a political fence-straddler, and on the down-low a federal Air Marshal, still his charming womanizing self, maybe with a more local colloquial mumbling instead.
I feel the biggest changes aren't so much the characters, but the location and what they can do and have go on there. Mike judge captured small-town America, not just small town Texas, so unless the others itt don't live in an American small town, it's going to be too similar. At least that's my opinion.
GET ME OUTTA THIS STATE GOD DAMN IT

They filmed a documentary about the nightlife in my town so I'd imagine it would be like

I blame the SoCal faggots and college grads. Making the rest of us look bad.

>tfw live on the edge of Pontiac and Auburn Hills

Pretty much this, I hate it here. The amount of stupid fucks here is disgusting

>I feel the biggest changes aren't so much the characters, but the location and what they can do and have go on there.

I honestly wonder what type of show could turn up from a more densely populated area. I've only lived in small-town America a couple of times. Outside of that it's been national parks, oceanside tourist destinations, and the hubs of mid-sized metropolitan areas. So I'd love to see that side of America represented.

Before this thread I didn't realize so many people on Sup Forums happen to live within a few hours of the show's original setting. Which might have a lot to do with sameyness you might be feeling.

If you count Whataburger then I guess

Jersey City or its assorted Neighbors?

>Miami, Florida
It'd be a Regular Show esc. comedy where weird shit constantly happens to the characters.

Like just last week while riding the bus some random stranger sat in front of me and started masturbating.

I'm from central ohio, in the double suburbs of Columbus. Everyone would pretty much do heroin and drive around. Unless you go to the city or a bigger suburb there's nothing to do. Kahn's family could be pretty much any ethnicity besides white or indian. There's literally no black people around here, and the one that I know is essentially just a trailer park white guy.

Small town in southern illinois along the Mississippi with less than 700 people, the vast majority living in poverty and drug use is rampant... I don't think it could work as a comedy. If you Google unluckiest town in America the first result is literally an article from time magazine about my home town.

I dunno user, Detroit still exist.
Unless your town had the United Nations get involving in it's horrible living conditions then it's probably not the worst place to live in America. Not quite yet at least.

I mean there's still clean-ISH drinking water but I guarantee if it had the population of Detroit crime would be just as rampant. It's not uncommon for people houses to get broken into. And if you actually Google it the article talks about how it's a tiny ass town right on the Mississippi that can't get flood insurance due to the townspeople being so god damn poor, because most of them are stupid. It is literally just a mater of time before the river innevitably floods and kills the town. I'm just glad I got out of there.

greece

You'd have to be stupid to live in Detroit.

Detroit's been doing a lot better the past few years, actually. New mayor, a lot of money has been put back into infrastructure, plus the low costs of living have been attracting a lot of artists.

That being said, Michigan is still a festering shithole that should be avoided at all costs.

It'll return to sand in time.

My nig.

>mfw driving through auburn a couple months ago, and could easily point to entire blocks of MAGA signs in poorly-kept front lawns

>Houston
Noisier and with a lot more blacks and latinos.

Bobby's character wouldn't work because if he lives in LA he actually has a shot at making it.

I'm sure there are some ways he can't. For example
>Bobby writes some jokes
>they're way better than the jokes on his favorite show
>he tells them to the writers who say they can give him a good word
>they steal the jokes, bobby gets nothing
I can see him making it but through out most of it someone's going to get in his way.

>Jackson Purchase of Kentucky
>literally nothing happens
>it's comfy as fuck

Take all the redneck characters in the show and make them the main characters

>Small town in the Northeast
>People sit in lawn chairs, drinking around a fire pit, and occasionally doing heroin
>Dunkin Donuts jokes every two minutes
>Characters work dead end low paying jobs but still spend money on scratch off tickets
Fuck my hometown

>Berkeley
>SoCal
And I think it's bad in my town.
How do you do it, cali-bros?

>King of the Hill
>Northern Germany edition
It's basically pic related, as a middle-aged man.

Gew up in 832ston subrubs. Everyone was eithier trying really hard be a redneck dispite having money and education or trying to seem sophisticated dispite not having money or education.

I live in and was born in Winnipeg, it's pretty much IRL Spingfield, down to the historical hero's mustache and contraversial origins, only Louis Riel wasn't a complete asshole, just kinda started Canada's only civil war and some people hate him for that, or just as an excuse to be racist... Usually both.

So... the regular show?

Hello fellow Massholes

>Fairhope, Alabama

I don't know if it'd work. It's like a reverse Portland where all the Keep X Weird people are a bunch of middle-aged people trying to justify spending half a million on a two room cottage in a suburban commuter town, the hipster transplants are middle class commuters who are tearing down everything to put in tract homes, and the local business/arts establishment all voted for Trump.

>San Antonio
It would be pretty much the same for me, but more Mexicans.

No the main four are just southerners

I'm talking about Lucky and his gang

This doesn't look that bad, based solely off the cover. Is Werner a tabletop nerd?

Shit I just realised I misread the question. I thought topic was "Is there any cartoon towns like your town?". I dunno how I was that scaterbrand just now, I'm low on weed and a few coffees into the day...
Okay let's start this over again...
KotH-esque show in Winnipeg...
>Back alley drinking is a fucking sport here, so just relocate the "yeaap." scenes to the alley.
>If any celebrity so juch as farts in our general direction we lose it, but a oot of films actually cme here fr scenes so it's not like them stopping through is weird, so a good amount of cameos
>Imagine Corner Gas mixed with Trailer Park Boys mixed with Workahaulics.
>>Feel of Corner Gas
>>Structure and plots of Trailer Park Boys
>>Zany stupidity of Workahaulics
That is what I experience every day.

>east central Nebraska

Not much changes, hell among my relation is pretty much every character.

you just replace the Cowboys with the Huskers and boom...you've got like the same exact show.
