  My GOD that would have been a good episode! Hank gets invited to a rodeo, says no. Tells Peggy, she’s like “Go Hank, it’ll be fun!” He says he doesn’t like Rodeo’s, they’re just show and not real sport or something else Hank Hill-ish. Peggy convinces him to go, he has an amazing time, all the while completely oblivious to the fact that it’s a gay rodeo. Makes a comment in passing that’s completely innocuous, but in the context of a gay rodeo makes everyone think he’s a power bottom. Gets the nickname “Backdoor Buckaroo,” which Hank thinks is in appreciation of how much work he does helping everyone out behind the scenes.

  The last day of the rodeo he invites the family and friends and Mr. Strickland to the rodeo, and Peggy explains to him what’s going on, right before they announce a special thank you to “Hank ‘Backdoor Buckaroo’ Hill” over the loud speaker. Queue “ahhhh” scene

    That’s honestly better than every King of the Hill episode I’ve ever seen.

      I think that already IS an episode isn’t it? I distinctly recall something about a rodeo where the clowns end up being gay, but it was bill that got mistaken for one of them after he found joy in being a clown?

      How do I submit this to the writing team behind the reboot? It would be seriously good.

      The end could have the guys in the alley all snickering and calling him Backdoor Buckaroo, and Hank being super embarrassing but like “it was still the best goshdarn vacation I ever had”

        I don’t know but, being a damn Yankee and straight man, I was sure the gay rodeo was something you invented specifically for this plot. I was about to comment you should have a side plot that explains what a gay rodeo is and what it’s purpose is.

        Then I thought, “What if gay rodeo is a real thing and you could just look it up yourself?”

        “But Self”, I replied “Wouldn’t a gay rodeo just be a rodeo?”

        “Bro, you literally have access to all the worlds information at your fingertips- find out!”

        So that’s what I did. To my delight I found out I was right and wrong. Gay rodeo is pretty much just a rodeo, but it’s also a safe space where gay folk that lived in a backwards ass culture could be themselves- and had been since the 1970’s!

        You definitely should add a side plot that explains what gay rodeo is and it’s purpose, because it’s beautiful :)

        Good luck!
