Dan Liuzzi and Hank Hill: A Comparison.

As my first post, and for experimentation purposes, I decided to compose a comparison between my brother Dan, and King of the Hill's Hank Hill. The reason for such a comparison? Dan hates King of the Hill (without warrant), and there are many similiarities that viewers of the show and friends of Dan that people may notice. You'll see that some of the similiarities are just as strong as the differences. Let me know if you agree.

Similarities:

• Dan is uncomfortable saying "Thongs" and "Bras". Hank refers to such items as "Women's undergarments." (while shuddering due to being uncomfortable saying it.)
• Hank is "not one to make special requests" of people in the service industry. Dan would never make special requests of anyone in service industries.
• In social situations, both Hank and Dan both try to relate others jobs' to difficult realities of their own experience (Hank relates everything to selling Propane andPropane Accessories, where Dan relates everything to working in a restaurant)
• At a bachelor party, Hank assumes the "late night entertainment" was karaoke. Dan would probably assume the same. (It was actually strippers, to which each would be uncomfortable.)
• Hank can't say he "loves" another male, neither can Dan.
• Dan often over explains irrelevant things to people. Hank once explained to a cop that the "individual in the picture weighs 190 pounds, whereas he is 197, which was just an extra layer around the stomach."
• Hank: "Ah, finally, some paper work. Now, we're finally getting some where." Dan: "They probably have some kind of form for that."
• Dan and Hank each wear thick black glasses frames and a relatively conservative hair cut.
• Hank can't convey his emotions without much blabbering and hesitation. Same goes for Dan.
• Both are naive and believe that no one would ever do something wrong with malice intent.

Differences:

• Hank was a football player. Dan HATES football players, and all sports.
• Dan is very liberal; Hank is very conservative.
• Hank drinks beer with his friends socially everyday; Dan despises people who drink beer socially "just to drink."
• Hank preaches about propane, Dan doesn't know the difference between Propane, Butane, Methane, and Charcoal.
• Dan is an atheist, Hank is a devout Methodist.
• Hank is upset that his son is into theatre and comedy, and not sports. If Dan has a son, he would want him to be artsy and creative, and not into sports.
• Dan hates Rednecks; Hank IS a redneck.

So there's some of the similiarities and differences between my brother and favorite cartoon character. In retrospect, this was pretty much a useless post, and quite stupid. And unless you're me or Dan Demetriou, you probably won't even understand it.

In the future, I will try to debunk the myth that I'm an angry, close minded, self-righteous, miserable, and bigot version of my brother - a myth that Pendrith pretty much created.

*My apologies to Dan for seemingly personally attacking him.
