'King of the Hill' - Bobby Hill Quiz

Answer: Yes

Indeed, his full name is Robert Jeffrey Hill, and 'Bobby' is the common shortened nickname for Robert. Bobby is an interesting character because he seems to provide a balance between his salt-of-the-earth father and his mother, who often has her head floating in the clouds. Like Ralph Wiggum from 'The Simpsons', Bobby is known for saying curious things, sometimes complete non sequiturs.

Answer: Pamela Segall

Also known by her married name, Pamela Adlon, Segall has had a long career in Hollywood, beginning as a child actress in the movie 'Grease II', wherein she played Dolores Rebchuck. She also appeared in movies such as 'Say Anything...' and 'The Adventures of Ford Fairlane'. Since 1997, she has appeared primarily as a voice actor.

Answer: Tom Landry Middle School

Bobby attends the same school at which his mother works occasionally as a substitute teacher (and, in one episode, where his father also worked as a substitute teacher). Tom Landry is named for Hank Hill's hero, the former coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Answer: Connie

Kahn Souphanousinphone, Jr., aka Connie, is the daughter of Laotian parents who moved originally to Anaheim before migrating east to Arlen, Texas. Connie is a very precocious youngster, skilled on the violin and scoring high marks in her various classes.

Answer: Joseph

Joseph Gribble is also a 13-year old, but he seems to be hitting puberty before Bobby. Joseph is a very awkward kid who has trouble meeting girls. Often, he has used Bobby as a springboard for encounters with the opposite sex. Though Joseph is accepted as the son of Dale and Nancy, insider information suggests that he is really the son of John Redcorn.

Answer: Soccer

In various episodes we see Bobby playing baseball, wrestling and playing football, much to Hank's approval. However, Hank firmly disapproves of the only sport that Bobby seems to really savor, soccer. Hank especially dislikes the fact that Bobby's soccer coach doesn't encourage actual winning.

Answer: Comedian

In various episodes, Bobby has expressed interest in runway modelling, propane salesmanship and proctology, but it's as a comedian that Bobby Hill will truly be happy. In one episode, Bobby responds to his father, who is concerned about the boy doing drugs, 'Look, dad, I'm not gonna do drugs. I want to be the first chubby comedian to live past 35.' In another episode, Bobby sells a joke to Yakov Smirnoff!

Answer: Rodeo clown

Bobby has worked as a concession seller and a child model, among other things, but he seemed most confortable during his brief stint as a rodeo clown. While he was working as a clown, he walked around in front of the stands saying one of his catchphrases, 'What are you talking about?'

Answer: Fruit pies

Bobby's favorite food is fruit pies, with burritos perhaps being a distant second. In one episode, Bobby was quoted as saying, 'You had me at fruit pies...' (in an obvious spoof of the movie 'Jerry Maguire').

Answer: Sanglug

This episode brings us one of my favorite quotes by Peggy Hill about her son Bobby. After learning that her son may be a reincarnated lama, the prideful Peggy is driving along, when she sees one of those obnoxious 'My child is an honor roll student' bumper stickers. Peggy reacts to the driver of that car by screaming: 'Oh yeah? Well my child is God to billions of Asians!'
