Boomhauer

Boomhauer (voiced by Mike Judge) is a character in the animated series King of the Hill. Hank Hill, Dale Gribble and Bill Dauterive are his neighbors, and the four have been close friends since childhood. Boomhauer spends most of his spare time drinking beer with Hank, Dale and Bill in the alley behind Hank?s house. During the course of the series Boomhauer?s first name is never revealed, nor is it told exactly what he does for a living (one episode mentions that Boomhauer is on worker's comp; another reveals that his parents are rich after having won the lottery; and a third implies that Boomhauer receives favors from the various women he sleeps with). His primary pursuits in life are fast cars and loose women.

Boomhauer tends to mumble his speech very rapidly with a unintelligible southern United States accent, but despite the apparent incomprehensibility of his speech, all of the characters on the show understand what he is saying. Boomhauer's bizarre speech patterns serve as a recurring theme.

Example of a typical line of dialogue (spoken rapidly and with a Southern accent) :

Yeah man, I tell ya what, man, that dang ol' internet, man, you just go on there and point and click, talk about w-w-dot-w-com, an' lotsa nekkid chicks on there, man, click, click, click, click, click, it's real easy, man.

Though his speech is difficult to follow, Boomhauer sings clearly, as evidenced by his rendition of "Blue Moon of Kentucky" in Episode 6.9 ("The Bluegrass Is Always Greener").

Boomhauer has had three relatives that has appeared on the show. His mother, and his "Meemaw" (southern slang for Grandmother) who both have the same speech impediment as Boomhauer's. The third is his brother, Patch, voiced by Brad Pitt and has appeared on the show only once, when he was preparing to marry Boomhauer's ex-girlfriend. The wedding never did occur.
