It's nice to see that show get more appreciation these days. I always loved it when I was young, thought it was hilarious, like the meme of Hank with the big can of WD-40 that won't open, but he's prepared for that and just pulls out the smaller WD-40 was representative of the whole show, not just a funny moment.
Like Dale, the character defined by his paranoia and lack of trust, not even considering his wife was so obviously cheating on him.
Or Boomhauer, by far the wisest character on the show once you learn to understand him, except no one on the show can, though Hank often pretends he understands and that Boomhauer just said what he wanted/needed to hear.
And the writing that respected its viewers. Jokes that just happen and then it moves on whether you notice them or not, like Luanne trying to do highlights for Connie but instead wrecked the hair she was highlighting and it came off with the cap. Only thing it shows you are Luanne seeing it, panicking for a moment and hiding the cap, followed up by one confused "isn't it supposed to be more noticeable than this?" (or something similar) and then it's never mentioned again.
It was as funny as South Park just way more subtle about it. Tbh I'm kinda surprised it lasted as long as it did with how many people didn't get it until later.
And he had the WD-40 to fix the squeak in the door of a place he was staying in on vacation. It wasn't even his house.
