The 'Hank Hill Listens to X' meme originates from the beloved animated series King of the Hill, featuring the straight-laced protagonist Hank Hill reacting to various types of music or media. Usually depicted using an image of Hank wearing headphones or holding a record, the meme plays on his conservative sensibilities and signature catchphrases like 'I tell you what' or 'That boy ain't right.' It gained significant traction on social media and video platforms where users replace the original audio or visuals with unexpected genres like death metal, hyperpop, or anime soundtracks. The humor stems from the hilarious contrast between Hank's traditional suburban Texan values and the often chaotic or avant-garde nature of the music he is 'listening' to.
