King of the Hill/Nightmare Fuel


  • King of the Hill is probably the least likely place you'd ever expect to find this trope. That's normally true, excluding the episode where Luanne's boyfriend Trip Larsen tries to butcher Luanne and himself so they can become food products. Luanne escapes, and before reaching the end of the conveyor line, an electric shock is administered to Trip's head curing him of his schizophrenia. But before he can enjoy his new-found sanity for more than a few seconds, the machine jams a large metal spike through his head (off-screen) and Trip gets processed into food (presumably). Though terrifying, this does give us the hilarious Peggy Hill quote, "Trip had a mental breakdown and is now a sausage."
