King of the Hill is absolutely satire.
It's kind of treated like the Colbert Report. Only brain dead idiots took it at face value and the jabs at conservatives sailed right over their heads.
Colbert Report was a pointed jab, and obvious satire. King of the Hill almost had a loving admiration in it, without the implied harsh critique or judgement that satire normally holds.
I definitely agree with this. It had more of a self-mocking feel to it, like any redneck would find it funny-relatable far more than they would find it satirically critical.
