Toonfomercial: Hank Hill meets The Silver Surfer (1998)

As an example of Fox network "attitude", some genius thought it'd be a good idea to paste some Silver Surfer footage onto King of The Hill, with Hank (Mike Judge) trying to sell the Surfer, who doesn't speak in this spot, some propane. The Hill footage was made as part of an all-day promotion Fox was running in the spring of 1998.



The difference in animation styles is obvious, and it's easy to see the Surfer had been pasted onto the scene like he was made of Colorforms. Not good.
