It was played up for the show but I think many of us have a Peggy in our life.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 58 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like Peggy was played down compared to the ones I know irl. If Peggy was realistic, she wouldn't be likable.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So much hate for her. How can the Internet hate a woman who made Hank Hill so happy? Shouldn't she get at least some points for that?

Whenever l have run into snooty Quebequois that insist that I speak French, I channel Peggy and say "Jay parlay fran-says tray bee-en. Jay-tude on lay-cole quart ons."

That does the trick and they will beg me to speak English.

Pretty sure she's supposed to be in like her thirties, maybe forty-ish.

I have an aunt that one of my brothers described as

"She is like Peggy Hill but doesn't make me laugh"

We just call them Karens these days

Karens are different imo. Peggy would never call the cops on a black person, or present some distorted/dishonest version of events to a store manager/911. Shes just a narcissist. I could see an B plot of her getting pulled into a Karen's orbit though.

Kahn I could definitely see doing some straight up Karen shit.

"Hey Cotton, meet Kahn, he's Japanese.

NO HE AIN'T! He's Laotian, ain't you Mr. Kahn."

Possibly the best interaction with Kahn in the show. Definitely Cotton's best lines.
