@@AdamasutojrAJR Worked 5 years in receiving and shipping at Macys offloading trucks and yes I can confirm that George Foreman's grills are sold in the Housewares department 😂 Used to get them all the time also the grills are not that big either
NOooo! That study was done on a bunch of Sick monkeys. They were dying anyway, replacing the room's oxygen supply with quality, clean burning, propane actually made their final moments way more enjoyable..
@Machina_62 hahaha if you think KOTH is racist, you will lead a miserable life of self loathing and regret my friend, you need to get out and meet some people.
@@mr.nobody1081 nowadays, afaik racist means something different. it means, honest, hard working, intelligent, not mentally ill. bc i only see total nutjobs calling ppl with those atributes racist. but i am to old for twitter
He is lucky, George would have maki him into a little girl for saying that. And he has actually make a lot of money thanks to that grill, muhc more than when was boxing
No, but seriously, George Foreman is VERY protective of his grill. He's gotten mad at other people who insulted it on like the Tonight Show and stuff. Look it up.
The voice director probably was able to get George to picture the time someone insulted his grill. He's pretty overprotective about his grill, so this is most likely enforced method acting.
For everyone saying he just should have said something alone the lines of ""let me talk to my boss about carrying your grill", they're missing one big thing about Hank. He takes such ridiculous pride in propane and propane accessories that he won't even entertain the thought of having something sold at Strickland Propane that doesn't meet his high standards(and knowing Buck Strickland, Buck would have jumped at the idea of having George Forman in his store selling grills.)
That could have been an even funnier twist though, when Hank actually consults with Buck and Buck says he'd love to have the grill in his shop, then Hank would have a crisis of integrity because he believes it shouldn't be sold there.
All Hank had to say was: “I’m sorry, champ. We only sell propane grills. And clearly, your grill is very successful and you don’t need us. But if you ever make a propane grill, we’ll carry it in a heartbeat!”
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok that’s the thing though, hank genuinely takes this seriously. Both as a genuine passion, but also due to his non-nonsense, strict, conservative beliefs in good work ethic. He didn’t want to lie about this and didn’t see his blunt honesty as intentionally insulting. Their ARE nicer ways hank could’ve said it, but ALL those would go against what he would ever do because its against something that he earnestly believes in.
I love how Hank gives props to George Foreman not for becoming 2 time heavyweight champion but for winning an Olympic gold medal. He values Gold medals for USA more than world titles. True patriot.
Yeah, but he could have been aware and instead of getting too much into details and said that his store has only accepts specific types of grills. Both true and more understandable as well as less coming off like he did
Gotta respect Hank for having the nerve to say "at least my grill isn't sold in housewares" to a guy who could literally kill all of us with his bare hands.
truth hurts but I fully support Hank on this one. that little toy is not a grill, not a real one anyway. George Foreman should do something about that anger, just cause you dislike someone's opinion doesn't give you the right to assault them. good thing he had a friend to help keep him under control.
I mean to be fair these little grills do come in handy during the winter months or something when you don't necessarily want to go outside and grill but still want a grilled burger. I'll agree with hank that nothing beats a real charcoal or propane grill (sorry hank but I'm a charcoal man although I actually use both) but the George Foreman grill is good for indoor use. Hank didn't necessarily need to insult the man's product, that was taking it too far.
@@epicty3607 true but what hank said about George foremans grill was very disrespectful. He basically compared it to an easy bake oven and a iron. He's lucky George son stopped him. The man was retired but like Mike Tyson he still had a hook that could knockout people.
I love that Hank’s prejudices are so ingrained that he absolutely blitzes the Foreman grill utterly innocent of intent. Then he’s pushed to attempting a burn, and salts the fucking earth with the bones of the poor Foreman grill.
The thing is hanks not wrong about it, the product is terrible it really is a novelty toy, it will cook fresh and frozen beef patties but it takes more time to cook them properly than even cooking them on the stove in a frying pan. I can make 4 hamburger patties on my single electric burner in a frying pan faster than it takes the George Forman. That contraption is a poorly made gimmick and the plastic collection tray for the grease is garbage the grease falls off the grill and into the tray. It can’t even cook chicken properly or quickly either and I’ve tried with boneless chicken thighs takes it 45 minutes. At best the George Forman is a poor attempt at a pinenni press and all you do is turn the sandwich in the opposite direction after the light turns from orange to green.
@@BelmontClan I don’t really care for the foremen grill very much, but that’s bullcrap what you said about the grill taking too long to cook Burger patties. The foreman grill can cook a frozen rock-hard burger patty in under five minutes.
@@BelmontClan The worst part for me is honestly how hard it is to clean the GF grill, since the grates aren't removable you can't chuck them in the sink or dishwasher. I ended up ditching mine and going back a Weber Q fueled by clean burning propane 👌
if you are traveling and can't have access to a real grill, they are a great portable houseware. great for dieters. the meat grease comes out of the meat. but a real grill doesn't make a fat free burger.
Let's be real here tho, the George Foreman grill revolutionized home cooking. It doesn't compare to a propane grill in terms of how much it can do all at once, but for what it is, it's an amazing product that I've stood by eversince I was given one. The removable grill plates which are swappable for waffle plates made me fall in love.
Ya know, if Hank had simply said "no _electric_ grills," he probably wouldn't have upset George _and_ he would've still told the honest truth about store policy.
@@JoLiKMC the premise of the show is to show absolutely horrible losers who suck at everything and let the dumbass audience relate to them. Meanwhile a minority of those watching are in on the joke and laughing at everyone. Hank Hill not knowing that water in the exhaust pipe is normal is a great example. Subtle 'smarty pants' humour mixed in with genuine family matters makes a much larger audience happy.
I saw George Foreman when I was sitting ringside at a televised boxing card in Atlantic City that he was doing commentary. During a break I said 'Hey George, love your grill!' He just gave me a huge smile and made the 'money' sign with his hand, rubbing his thumb against his two fingers. After making over $200 million for putting his name on the grill, he had every reason to smile.
Good for you, Hank. Luanne’s probably gonna have to spend the rest of her life breathing through a tube, but at least you’ve proved yourself a propane advocate!
propane is more important to Hank than his family, there was an episode where he was more sexually turned on by propane than by his own wife's perfect muscular ass
@@cristianperez9626 Dude Foreman its arguably the hardest puncher of all time, he lift people of his feet with just a upper, lets say he doesn´t have a good chance
@@Wowezzersdozzers Realiticaly definitely, but going by feats Hank wins, as he has an insane striking feat where he kicks through a nazcar fence and in terms of durability Scales to Dale who survived a point plank explosion and with only minor burns from it.
What’s ironic about this is that knowing Buck Strickland he would probably be stoked to carry the George Foreman grill with official sponsorship from George himself, in spite of insisting that Strickland doesn’t sell “novelty grills”
You gotta admit, a George Foreman grill is very convenient to have. It cooks both sides simultaneously, which cuts cooking time in half. You can make your own burger that tastes just like a mcrib. Especially with Nature's Own Hamburger Butter Buns and Kraft Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce. And any meat patties will do
Convenient sure but nothing beats a real grill when it comes to flavour Oh and to each their own but the mcrib is nasty lol it was ok like 15-20 years ago but it's so bad now I remember buying one a few years back when they brought it back and it was the cheapest thing I'd ever gotten from mcdonalds in terms of quality and taste I'd rather take a cheeseburger off the dollar menu lol
@@Jin-lx7or Yeah, sometimes McDonald's doesn't cook the mcrib right (hard buns, burnt meat, etc) but if you make your own, with a George Forman grill or a regular grill, you can make 'em taste even better than a McDonald's mcrib Actually I need to correct myself. Nowadays at least half of the time McDonald's doesn't make the mcrib as good as they used to
Id say it’s for apartments or for situation where a real grill isn’t available. My buddy made burgers on it once, and they tasted good. I’ve also made burgers using the stove and they were also good, so is it really necessary
I like how they got George Foreman to voice himself. KotH typically only has celebs voicing themselves if it makes sense for them to be there (in this case, it's because Foreman lives in Texas).
I mean... That's a reasonable thing to be upset about, though. The George Foreman Grill is a good machine, and I would be livid if someone asked my daughter to drop out of a contest because They were too chicken to tell their own contestant Mine was too good. I would say George was justifiably angry, here.
I was literally knocked out, unconscious by a George Foreman grill. I was cleaning it, and while hunched over cleaning the bottom half the top half clamped down HARD on the bridge of my brow. I can't be mad though, because it instantly became a great story. It was hard to tell people how I got two black eyes without them laughing their asses off.
Hank could have just said that the grills that Strickland Propane sold were for Outdoor/Garage Use Only as opposed to the Indoor Use Only George Foreman Grills, or commented that a small-sized George Foreman in a shop made for large Char-King grills would seem ridiculous and confusing for traditional customers that spend time on the grill outside of the house... ah well, King of the Hill is a realistic comedy series that follows a down-to-earth plotline: so why fix what ain't broke to me amirite
I don't know why Hank didn't just leave it at "Sorry, we don't serve electronic grills at our establishment." Objectively speaking, an Electric Grill does everything a Propane Grill does, minus the propane.
I love how Hank is so gung-ho for propane that he'd rather jeopardize his niece by insulting the man who called off her fight than simply say "sure" and take the free appliance. He is honest, though 😂
My mom got a George Foreman grill when I was really young, like 3 or 4. 22 years later and wouldn’t you know that shit still works like the day we got it?
We had one of his grill growing up...living in Florida the weather could be great one second then it’s pouring the rest of the day.....nice to have an indoor grill so I’m not standing out in the rain trying to cook.....
Back when we had burgers most every night, these george foreman grills really were effective. Caught the grease and the burgers tasted excellent. No longer have such a grill, and pan fried burgers arent the same
"Sorry, but my company doesn't allow your type of grills but if you're interested I can mow your lawn." "I'll see about it." "Let me ask my boss about your grille and I'll let you know as soon as I can." "I wish I could but I could get fired if I do." Seriously, there's so much better things Hank could have said to him
The funniest part is that, George Foreman, one of the foremost pugilists of his era, a man who has literally knocked other men unconscious dozens of times, decides to reach for a spatula to fight Hank. A spatula, folks.
A spatula is not a lethal weapon. His fists are. Or were, back in the day. I don't know how much he's got left in his old meat and bones, but I probably wouldn't want to pick that fight anyway.
I find it funny that George Foreman, one of the greatest boxers of all time, and his reaction when he was gonna hit Hank was to hit him with a spatula instead of punching him.
My understanding is that George is a lot like this in real life. He can be the nicest guy in the world to you, but if he thinks you’ve insulted him he will absolutely go off on you.
