Boomhauer

Jeffrey Dexter Boomhauer III, almost always referred to as simply Boomhauer, is a fictional character in the animated series King of the Hill. The character is voiced by series creator Mike Judge, and is known for his nearly incomprehensible speech. Boomhauer, who lives at 73 Rainey Street, is the neighbor of the characters Hank Hill, Bill Dauterive, and Dale Gribble. Although he introduced himself as Jeffery Dexter Boomhauer III in the 2000 video game, his first name was not revealed in the TV series until the 13th season episode, "Uh-oh, Canada," when the Canadian woman with whom he'd switched houses for the summer said, "Hello, Jeff. Oh my, it's the fifteenth already?". It is possible that since he has his father's name, his family and friends took to calling him "Boomhauer" to prevent confusion of who's being spoken to. In another episode, he's called "Jimmy Dean" by an elderly neighbor. His primary pursuits are fast cars and women. He currently drives a 1968 Dodge Coronet; in high school he drove a late 60's Ford Mustang nicknamed "Ms. Sally" (the name being a reference to the classic Wilson Pickett song Mustang Sally) until the car was accidentally driven into the Arlen quarry by Dale, Hank and Bill while playing a prank on him. Boomhauer spends most of his spare time drinking Alamo Beer with Hank, Dale and Bill in the alley behind Hank’s house. While he enjoys his friendship with Hank, he sometimes has limited patience with Dale (who he sharply refers to as "Gribble") and considers Bill "boring" due to his inferiority complex. Boomhauer favors animal-print bikini briefs, which have been observed a few times in the show when he’s appeared without his blue jeans; he tends to overuse cologne, bragging about his Calvin Klein CK1 attracting women "like catnip". Boomhauer is a strict non-smoker who still carries a lighter, implicitly for emergencies or for lending.
