Ep 6. Husky Bobby

Husky Bobby is the sixth episode of the second season of the popular American animated sitcom King Of The Hill. The show revolves around the life of a propane salesman, Hank Hill, who lives in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas.

In this particular episode, Hank's son, Bobby, decides to become a mascot for the local Arlen High football team, the Arlen Longhorns. As Bobby is not a particularly athletic kid, his choice to become the team's mascot is met with some skepticism from his father and the other parents.

However, despite everyone's doubts, Bobby turns out to be a natural at being a mascot and quickly gains popularity with the team and fans alike. His infectious enthusiasm and funny antics on the field quickly earns him a special place in the hearts of the football team.

As Bobby becomes more and more involved with the team, Hank and the other parents begin to worry about his weight. Bobby has always struggled with his weight, and the physical activity of being a mascot doesn't seem to be helping his cause. Hank becomes concerned that Bobby's weight will impact his health and tries to encourage him to be more active.

In an effort to help Bobby lose weight, Hank enlists his friend, Dale, to be his personal trainer. Dale takes Bobby under his wing and makes him do various exercises, including running up and down the Arlen Hills. However, the training sessions don't seem to be making much of a difference in Bobby's weight.

Meanwhile, the Arlen Longhorns football team continues to win games, with Bobby cheering them on from the sidelines. However, the team's success takes a hit when their star quarterback, Joseph Gribble, gets injured during a game. As the team struggles to find a replacement quarterback, Bobby suggests that he could fill in for Joseph.

Despite his lack of experience and athletic ability, Bobby's enthusiasm and passion for the game convince the coach to give him a chance. In a pivotal game against their arch-rivals, the Rainey Street Crew, Bobby takes over as the team's quarterback and leads them to a dramatic victory.

Hank is overjoyed with Bobby's success, but still worries about his weight. He decides to take Bobby to a nutritionist in an effort to help him lose weight in a healthy way. The nutritionist gives Bobby some tips on how to eat more healthily and lose weight without sacrificing his passion for food.

In the end, Bobby is able to maintain his love for food while also losing some weight. He continues to be the Arlen Longhorns' mascot and even gets to play quarterback occasionally. The episode ends with Hank and Bobby bonding over their love of football and the importance of staying healthy.

Overall, the episode Husky Bobby is a heartwarming and hilarious look at the world of American football and the challenges faced by overweight children. It's a great showcase for the show's unique blend of humor, heart, and social commentary.
