King of the Hill minor characters I love!

Kahn Souphanousinphone, Sr. (Toby Huss) - Kahn is the Hills' materialistic, Laotian American next-door neighbor. "Kahn" is an anagram of "Hank". He is prejudiced against whites, especially "hillbillies" as he often refers to his neighbors. He frequently boasts his superiority to the others, but Hank bails him out in several episodes, and Kahn has made it clear he strongly respects Hank (though he also has made it clear this respect does not extend to Bill, Boomhauer, and especially Dale). Kahn occasionally wrestles with the fact that he has a daughter, and once when very angry with her stated "you lose, you no longer my son." [3]

Minh Souphanousinphone (Lauren Tom) - Kahn's wife. Minh is a housewife who grows roses in her front yard. She enjoys making catty comments about the neighbors, particularly Peggy. She also has a fondness for adding nutmeg to everything she makes to make it taste better.

Kahn "Connie" Souphanousinphone, Jr. (Lauren Tom) - Connie is Kahn and Minh's daughter, a violin player and an A-student. She is one of Bobby's best friends and sometimes girlfriend. Connie is named for her father because Kahn wanted a boy. He often refers to her as "Kahn, Junior."

Doggie Kahn Souphanousinphone (a play on "Donkey Kong") - Doggie is their West Highland White Terrier, who has the uncanny ability to turn backflips and is a competitive dancer. He once ran away with Ladybird.

Tid Pao Souphanousinphone (Lucy Liu) - Tid is Connie's rebellious cousin from Los Angeles, who was sent to stay at Kahn's for a semester because her marks had been slipping. She attended

Tom Landry Middle School in the meantime. She tricked Bobby into making a meth lab by
pretending to help him with building a candy-machine for his group science project and persuaded him to steal gas tanks from Strickland Propane to complete the project. Upon seeing a policeman rating projects during the science fair, she told Bobby he could take all the credit and ran off; Connie saved him by shooting the lab to pieces with a spud gun. Tid Pao was sent away by Kahn to Exeter, Wisconsin to work on her last uncle's dairy farm at the end of the episode because of her delinquency.

Laoma Souphanousinphone (Amy Hill) - Laoma is Kahn's mother. She is kind and hardworking and enjoys to do things about the house. She is disliked by Minh because of her criticism of Minh's housekeeping skills. The status-conscious Souphanousinphones are horrified when Laoma, bored and unwanted in her son's house, becomes the Hills' housemaid, and even more horrified, when she gets into a love affair with Bill Dauterive. There was no mention of their relationship, nor of Laoma herself in the later episodes, mainly because the creators nixed the original plan for her and Bill to become a regular couple, preferring for Bill to remain his usual single and miserable self.


Jimmy Whichard (David Herman) - Jimmy is a violent moron. He has had several jobs, including concession manager at the racetrack and outsider artist. Bobby worked for him at the racetrack and Hank wasn't sympathetic to Bobby's horror stories until he visited the track and saw Jimmy mistreating his son; Hank then chased down Jimmy and (both literally and figuratively) kicked his ass (on a related note, he is the only character in the series to have had his ass kicked on-screen by both Hank and Cotton). When Peggy was scammed by an internet test that "proved" she was a genius, she only believed it to be a scam upon learning that Jimmy was also proclaimed a genius. A running gag during his appearances is his use of the phrase "smash(ed) em' good." Despite the show having run well over two hundred episodes, Jimmy has appeared fewer than ten times.

El Paso Nash Rambler in the Sky

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
Out where the horses were tied.
I caught a good one.
It looked like it could run.
Up on its back
And away I did ride..........

~ El Paso - Marty Robbins

Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)
Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)
cho: Beep beep (beep beep),
Beep beep (beep beep),
His horn went beep beep beep (beep beep).
While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise,
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one-third my size.
The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep).
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.
cho:
I pushed my foot down to the floor to give the guy the shake,
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind, he still had
on his brake.
He must have thought his car had more guts,
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep).
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.
cho:
My car went in to passing gear and we took off with gust,
And soon we were doing ninety, must have left him in the dust.
When I peeked in the mirror of my car, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The little Nash Rambler was right behind, you'd think that
guy could fly.
cho:
Now we're doing a hundred and ten, it certainly was a race,
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy would be a big disgrace.
The guy must have wanted to pass me out as he kept on tooting his horn.
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.
cho:
Now we're doing a hundred and twenty, as fast as I could go.
The Rambler pulled alongside of me as if we were going slow.
The fellow rolled his window down and yelled for me to hear:
"Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"


~ Beep Beep - The Playmates

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky

~ Ghost Riders in the Sky - lyrics by Stan Jones; recorded by many such as Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, and later The Blues Brothers)
