Bobby Hill is a character on the animated television show King of the Hill and is voiced by Pamela Segall. Born Robert Jeffrey Hill, he is the only child of Hank and Peggy Hill. Overweight, late bloomer and lacking strength, Bobby is not suited for sports, nor is he useful with his hands (though he is a gifted marksman), making him a comic foil to his ex-high-school-football-playing, tool-savvy father. Different as night and day, they eventually form a relationship based on an understanding of these differences. Bobby Hill was once sent to Fort Berk, a military academy where his grandfather Cotton Hill attended as a young man. He is also friends with Joseph Gribble and next door neighbor Connie Souphanousinphone. Bobby has aspired to be a ladies' man, runway model, proctologist, comedian, shaman, and a salesman of propane and propane accessories. In later seasons he served as the mascot for his middle school football team, the Tom Landry Longhorns. His father is occasionally embarrassed by Bobby's sometimes effeminate mannerisms, but Bobby most of all wants his father to be proud of him.
Trivia
- Bobby once ate a 72-ounce steak in a mere 37 minutes after a breakup with his vegetarian girlfriend Marie (voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar).
- He also became ill with gout after repeatedly consuming chicken liver sandwiches at a New York Style Deli in the local mall; this deli has since converted to a sushi restaurant.
- He ran away with Connie to Branson, Missouri, where they met his favorite comic, Yakov Smirnoff.
- Bobby loves to eat fruit pies.
Quotes:
- "I'm a little worried about being a slut."
- "Taco Bueno in high school? I thought that was just an urban legend!"
- Hank Hill: I told you it wasn't easy. You didn't believe me, did you?
Cotton Hill: I guess he was just born a pile of mush.
Hank Hill: Well, I guess you could say that, but maybe mush isn't so bad. You can keep stomping on it, but it's all give. It just stays mush. You can't build it up, but you can't break it down either. In a funny way, mush has the edge.
