Kahn 'Connie' Souphanousinphone, Jr. (born November 11, 1985) is the daughter of Kahn Souphanousinphone and Minh Souphanousinphone and Bobby's former girlfriend; in later episodes, however, she and Bobby show signs of restarting their relationship. She is heavily pressured by her parents to get incredibly high grades.
Contents DescriptionBobby Hill is 4'11', and weighs 135 lbs. His haircut seems to be a close buzzcut (as shown in 'Hank's Bad Hair Day'). Bobby does poorly in most sports and other athletic activities.
He seemed to be especially not good with his hands. The exception to this is his incredible ability as a marksman, which is displayed in ' and ' where he shoots his pet believed to be rabid. These qualities make him a comic foil to his ex-high-school-football-playing, tool-savvy father. They are different in most respects with the few things Bobby is good at, like shooting a gun or dancing, being areas where Hank is weak or mediocre.Despite differences, Bobby and Hank's relationship is close and Bobby considers his father to be his hero. He is also friends with and next-door neighbor.
Bobby wants more than anything to be a prop comic like his hero ', but has also aspired to be a 'ladies' man', plus-size model, stand-up comic, proctologist and a salesman of 'propane and propane accessories'. The London Free Press once stated that he 'might be the most complex, fully formed kid in TV history.' In later seasons he served as the mascot for his middle school football team, the Longhorns. His father Hank Hill is occasionally embarrassed by Bobby's ineptitude in other sports, activities, and in his behavior often stating ('That boy ain't right'), but Bobby most of all wants his father to be proud of him.
Hank spent years thinking Bobby was gay, or possibly asexual, but this presumption was put to rest when Bobby got with the older teenage girl and he learned from Connie's father that he caught her and Bobby together half-naked, and while Hank was obligated to yell at Bobby for these occasions, he was also subtly pleased by these developments. After being consulted by his neighbor about Bobby's actions, Hank breathes a sigh of relief, obviously realizing that his son is heterosexual. This revelation seems to have eased some tension between Hank and Bobby.Although Hank wished to have Bobby follow in his athletic past, there have been times Hank realizes this is not the best idea for Bobby.
When Bobby joined the track team, his out-of-shape physiology was used by the coach to punish slackers by having Bobby substitute for them. When a player suffers an injury, the coach is made to substitute Bobby for real, making him run a 1500-yard dash. Bobby wins the event when all the other players trip due to a freak accident. Although Bobby won by default, Hank is still proud of his rare win.
Another time Bobby actually agreed with Hank that the soccer team was run under a 'sissy program' and tried out for the football team. It was actually Hank who ordered Bobby off the football team once he saw it was run by a did extreme actions such as chase players on the field with a car.Hank also disapproved of Bobby studying Buddhism, as he dismissed this idea of reincarnation as hooey. Surprisingly, his attempts to get his pastor, involved in this backfired when her liberal ideas indicated all religions are inherently good. Everything worked out for Hank, once Bobby realized Lamas cannot get married and that he cared too much for Connie with this choice being accepted by the lead monk despite it being the mirror that was owned by the previous llama.PersonalityBobby is a very kind, innocent, caring, lovable, gentle and a good hearted character. Although his softy personality disappoints Hank at times, Bobby is at the same time a crack rifle shot, is a professional-level golfer, and is also skilled at Dance Dance Revolution.
Further, Bobby can be pushed into spontaneous anger, as when he punched the larger, more muscular Joseph for kissing Connie. Bobby has many of his irritating grandfather's more positive traits, such as joviality, body design and the knack of romancing girls with surprising ease.Bobby has also shown numerous times throughout the series that he is easily influenced. Characters he has been influenced by and mimicked his behavior after include, and.Middle nameThere is some debate over Bobby's middle name.
Some believe it to be Jeffrey, as stated in the episode ' when a very drunk Peggy said she wanted to name him Jeffrey but Hank would not let her. While some claim his full name is revealed on a trophy shelf built by Hank when Bobby was a baby to be Robert 'Butch' Hill in the episode '. However, Hank merely hoped his son's nickname would be 'Butch'. In ', it is revealed that Bobby doesn't know his middle name and in ', Peggy, while filling out forms for Bobby at the hospital, says, 'Bobby, we gave you a dumb middle name.'

He has not yet experienced puberty and is jealous that Joseph is tall and sometimes mistaken for an adult.
It's unknown if the writers ever let Bobby enter puberty or not, since the changes to the character would most likely cause to be replaced as the voice for Bobby for a newer, deeper voice (that is what led to the change of the voice actor for Joseph from to ).In the episode 'Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do?' Connie's delinquent cousin, Tid Pao stays with the family due to some drug debts that she is hiding from back home. Bobby falls for her and makes Connie jealous. However, Tid Pao only sees Bobby as a young child and when Bobby drops Connie as his science partner to be Tid Pao's, problems pop-up: unknown to Bobby, Tid Pao manipulates him into making a meth lab for their science project, intending to deal the drugs they manufacture to get back to her old life by paying off her debts and flying back to Los Angeles first-class. Fortunately, Connie manages to pull Bobby out of getting into big mess with the authorities, and after one or both of them expose Tid Pao's scam and crimes to their parents and/or the police, she is (presumably) arrested and, by the end of the episode, is sent to live with another uncle in Wisconsin, under the threat of being sent to Laos to live with her grandmother if she doesn't shape up the coming time around.Eating habitsBobby has a penchant for eating unusual things and getting himself in trouble for doing so. Bobby once ate a 72-ounce steak in 37 minutes after a breakup with his vegetarian girlfriend for the sake of spiting her, then later vomits it up while talking to Connie.In another episode, ', Bobby became ill with gout after repeatedly consuming chicken liver sandwiches at a New York-style deli in the local mall.
Although the gout eventually requires him to use a senior citizen-style electric scooter, he still rides it to the mall to eat more chicken livers. However it is suggested he did this because he was nervous about attending the school dance, and was using it as an excuse to get out of it.Bobby also ate an entire dish of lutefisk, a very smelly fish dish, that was prepared by the town's. His over consumption and subsequent stomach ache resulted in a fire that destroyed the church his family attends (albeit indirectly, as it was the matches he lit to cover the smell of the dish that burnt the church).In ', Bobby eats too much sugar one morning and is mistakenly diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. In ' Bobby makes reference to eating Bible leather while chewing on a dog's leash. In ', when the family discovers Bobby is allergic to, the family dog, Bobby lives outside the house.
He stays there even after he discovers his medication is alleviating his symptoms so he can stay outside and keep ordering pizza for dinner.Bobby has also displayed talents for cooking and homemaking in general, to the chagrin of his mother Peggy as he surpasses her in all possible aspects. In the episode ', Bobby takes a shine to his new homemaking class where he learns, among other things, to become a culinary whiz. Peggy becomes jealous that Hank now prefers Bobby's cooking to her own and goes out of her way to sabotage Bobby's Thanksgiving turkey. In the event, she failed.One constant throughout the entire run of the show has been Bobby's affinity for fruit pies. In the episode entitled ', Hank tries to persuade Bobby to come to work with him by listing all the items in the vending machine. Bobby responds tearfully by saying, 'You had me at 'fruit pies'.'

The best of King of the Hill is on display in this episode. One aspect I noticed in my last viewing was how how much my view of the characters' actions in the episode have changed since it originally aired in 2001. The patriarch becomes incapacitated so the matriarch steps in to maintain the family structure. There are a lot of great jokes and some morals to consider as well. Don't skip this one.
