...good example is the Fox animated series "King of the Hill." The main character of the show, Hank Hill, is a conservative father who has a difficult time discussing sensitive topics such as sex with his 11-year-old son, Bobby. After Bobby discerns his father's distaste of sexual matters, he tells his father, in an effort to please him, that he will not have sex. Hank replies that he would want that if Bobby was his daughter, not his son. Bobby wonders about this double standard, forcing Hank to respond that, yes, it is unfair that boys should...

Judge has always performed the voices for both Beavis and Butt-head, and he is taking on Hank Hill and one of his sidekicks, Boomhauer. The latter character's purposely inscrutable speech was inspired by a voice-mail message Judge received a few years ago from a ranting Southerner who, Judge ultimately deciphered, was calling to complain that Beavis &Butt-head didn't start on time.
