"The Texas Skilsaw Massacre" is the 7th episode of Season 7 of King of the Hill.

Plot

Hank falls through his kitchen floor into Dale's secret escape tunnel. Later, he accidentally slices Dale's finger off.

Why It's a Massacre Indeed

  1. This episode is extremely mean-spirited even by King of the Hill Standards.
  2. It's nothing but a Hank torture episode.
  3. Everyone in this episode (except for Hank and Big Jim) is unlikable:
    • Dale is very unlikable in this episode and extremely out-of-character as he refused to believe Hank that he cut his finger off on accident and said that he did it on purpose, when he slid his finger under the blade causing Hank to cut it off.
    • Bill and Boomhauer are also unlikable in this episode, as when Hank says that he cut off Dale's finger on accident, they don't seem to care and agree with Dale.
    • Everyone (except Big Jim) else also claims that Hank did it in a fit of rage, when Hank clearly said he did it on accident.
  4. Dale, Bill and Boomhauer also dig a tunnel under the alley, which counts as vandilism, and you can get arrested for that. They also refuse to get out of the tunnel after Hank told them there was a garbage truck coming, which almost got them killed.
  5. Animation Error: In 1 scene, the Doctor and the Officer are to be the same height, but in the next shot, the Officer is taller while the Doctor is shorter.
  6. Although the ending is good, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer don't apologize to Hank.
  7. It is not explained if Hank repaired the floor in his house.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. Hank is likable in this episode as he didn't mean to accidentaly cut Dale's finger off.
    • Big Jim is also likable in this episode, but sadly, he got killed off in this episode.
  2. There are some funny lines such as: "Oh god he's on another rampage, pray for us all!" and "You are a bold-faced liar!"
  3. The way Hank got Dale, Bill and Boomhauer out of the tunnel is genius.
  4. Good Ending: Although they don't apologize to Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer forgave Hank for what he did.
