"Transnational Amusements Presents: Peggy's Magic Feet" is the 83rd episode in the FOX animated situation comedy series King of the Hill and was the 23rd episode of the fourth season.
[edit] Plot
Peggy's recurring issues of her size 16 feet are triggered when Dale and Nancy surprise Hank and Peggy with a night of bowling, which results in Peggy returning home rather than wearing bowling shoe rentals with the size on the back.
Her insecurities are exacerbated later when she goes to the shoe store specializing in large women's shoes and discovers her feet are now sized at 16½ and she might hit the "Big 2-0".
She is approached by a patron who gives her the card of a man who made her feel good about her own large feet.
Peggy meets the man (voiced by Sydney Pollack) who indicates that her posture, lack of back pain, athletic ability and even her professional success are the result of her large feet. He then persuades her to make an "educational video" to help other large-footed women find acceptance.
She makes the video and rushes home to tell Hank of her starring role in an educational film, and that the film will be distributed on the internet. This conversation is overheard by Dale, Bill and Boomhauer who are standing in their usual position just outside of Hank's fence.
When Peggy mentions having honey poured on her feet, walking through mud and having her feet hit with ping-pong paddles, the three go to Dale's basement computer where they find the "educational" video is actually a foot fetish website. They tell Hank who confronts the director, without success.
Hank tells Peggy and she returns to the Transnational Amusements studio and the director tells her that he is trying to gain acceptance of large-footed women by appealing to those with foot fetishes and trying to increase the fetish, eventually leading to widespread acceptance and appreciation of women with large feet.
Peggy accepts this explanation and resumes filming. However when she insists that her feet be filmed walking through flowers, the director drops his façade and tells her that men who are viewing the feet are only aroused when she is smushing smelling and ugly things liked baked beans, corned beef, or spinach and that when the women wise up he then has to start paying to film their "ugly feet".
His bluntness sends Peggy into another depression which is only ended when Bobby explains that though he is fat, he doesn't feel bad about even though there are others who want him to and that he has many accomplishments and positive personality traits.
This snaps Peggy out of her self-consciousness and the episode ends with her back at the Arlen Bowl, finally accepting of her size 16½ feet.
[edit] Quotes
- Peggy: You may not have noticed this because I wear extra bold glasses to draw attention to my head, but your mother has exceptionally large feet.
- Hank: Look, I'll never love feet as much as they [the fetishists] do, but the way I look at it, well, you're like a fully-loaded truck. The big tires are part of the package. You pay extra to get the really big tires. Why are you crying? You know how much I want a new truck.
[edit] Continuity
The depiction of Peggy's mother in this episode as an older version of Peggy contradicts her retconned appearance in a later episode, A Rover Runs Through It.
