Jeff Boomhauer

Jeffery Dexter Boomhauer III, also known as Jeff Boomhauer, is one of the main characters from the King of the Hill series.
== Charactah Account ==
Boomhauer is very fast-talking ladies man and one of Hank's childhood friends. His dialect can be hard to keep up with, but none of his friends seem to have any trouble talking to him.
Boomhauer is highly astute and often gives advice to his friends. He is also a frequent voice of truth, owning up to the wrongdoings of the group despite not always acting appropriately himself. Since his speech pattern is not understood by most people, his confessions are usually ignored.
Boomhauer is a Texas Ranger and a confirmed bachelor with a taste for fast cars, women, and tiger-print bikini underwear. He drives a 1968 Dodge Coronet. In high school, he had an infamous mid-60s Mustang named "Ms. Sally" but had to get a new car after Hank, Bill, and Dale accidentally drove it into a quarry while playing a prank on him.

== Trivia ==
* Boomhauer's voice was based on a rather angry message that Mike Judge received on his answering machine complaining about Beavis & Butthead (although he mistakenly referred to it as "Porky's Butthole"). In the Pilot, the way that Boomhauer talks to the social worker complaining about the neighbors' dog ("I've bin callin' y'all people better than a month now...") is lifted directly from this voicemail.
* Boomhauer also shares similar traits with Kenny McCormick from South Park. Both share blond hair and they are reputable for their promiscuity, interest in automobile drag racing, and--most notably--their near-unintelligible speech (Boomhauer's being his fast pace and Kenny's voice being muffled by his orange parka whenever he speaks). Kenny is also voiced by South Park co-creator Matt Stone with the exception of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (where he was voiced by Mike Judge) and The Jeffersons, Lice Capades, The Coon, and the Mysterion arc (where he was voiced by Eric Stough) during the segments where he spoke clearly, unmuffled by his parka hood.
* The Family Guy character Glenn Quagmire is also similar to Boomhauer. Both are middle-aged, both go by their last unique surnames and both are womanizers and neighbors of the main character (Peter Griffin and Hank Hill respectively). They also have romances which have left a deep imprint in their lives (Katherine for Boomhauer, Cheryl Tiegs for Quagmire), However, unlike Quagmire, Boomhauer is entirely consensual in his romantic/sexual pursuits, where as Quagmire in various episodes has demonstrated using rape, drugging and underage individuals.
* In Season 4, Episode 23 ("Transnational Amusements Presents: Peggy's Magic Sex Feet"), it is revealed that Boomhauer has known Peggy for longer than Hank has, presumably being the one who introduced the two.
* Even with his trademark speech impediment, Boomhauer sings clearly when he sings Bluegrass music.
* Boomhauer's trademark distinctive vocal patterns were inspired by a man who complained to Mike Judge about Beavis and Butt-head, an animated television series that Mike Judge created back in 1993, that aired on MTV until 1997, The same year King of the Hill premiered. The series was later revived twice: first on MTV in the fall to winter of 2011 and, since the summer of 2022, is now currently streaming on Paramount+.
* In "Hank's On Board", Boomhauer confesses to his friends that he dyes his hair.
* Boomhauer is generally seen driving a red 1968 Dodge Cornet, although it is revealed that he once owned a red 1965 Ford Mustang nick-named "Miss Sally".
* The one episode that Boomhauer does not appear in is "An Officer and a Gentle Boy", and Dale and Bill also do not appear in the episode.
* Boomhauer has a cut, missing pinkie toe.
* In the series finale, we see Boomhauer's wallet on his dresser. It is open and there is a badge in it. He is a Texas Ranger.
* Boomhauer has a video-camera in his bedroom for videotaping sex.
* As he gets older, Boomhauer starts dating younger and younger women.
* Out of all the adults in the series, Bobby interacts with Boomhauer the most (not counting his parents). This could be because Boomhauer is the most helpful and advice worthy of the others, Dale being too paranoid and usually offering terrible advice, and Bill's advice usually backfiring to make Bobby more miserable than he was before.
* Boomhauer has a talent for close-up magic, but he only knows one trick.
* Boomhauer is a skilled banjo player. He indicated that he can also play the accordion.
* Boomhauer is a skilled painter, which is demonstrated in "Naked Ambition" when Boomhauer paints a Van Gogh-esque self-portrait.
* In the episode "Luanne Virgin 2.0", Hank says that he needs to borrow Boomhauer's limo.
* Boomhauer seems to be closer to Dale out of the rest of the gang, since they go on secret fishing trips every year without the others.
* Out of everyone in the main cast, Boomhauer has the least amount of episodes centered on him as the primary focus.
* In "Uh-oh, Canada", Boomhauer is eventually able to speak French-Canadian.
