Most sublime animated show ever IMO. You need to watch episodes at least three times to get it all down.

Yeah, and the amount of (utterly brilliant) Futurama jokes that would fly miles over your head would come to like ten per episode

Well I don't find KotH particularly funny all that often, it's more of an occasional chuckle type of show for me. I definitely like it but it's in a different comedic stratosphere from Futurama for me

I like that it lampoons working class conservatism, but at the same time isn't mean-spirited about it. All classes and subcultures of humanity can be made fun of, but the show also recognizes that that doesn't mean they are necessarily any less for their flaws.

But most of them don't get it. At first.

I think most of the people who don't get it are the working class Southerners that it lampoons, as they often get offended without looking past the surface mockery. I would also assume most of those are probably from Texas.
