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.

Trivia

• It is revealed in the episode "A-Firefighting We Will Go" that in Boomhauer's imagination, he is the only clear speaker, while everyone else mumbles incoherently.
• A King of the Hill Season 1 DVD special feature titled "Making of King of the Hill" explained that Boomhauer's voice was inspired by an angry (yet funny) voicemail Mike Judge received while he was producing Beavis and Butt-head.
