Wow, you couldn't have made a better post! It's the Mona Lisa of projections and I can't look away <3

Let's try and sift through this textual diatribe to find the real meaty goodness :)

Exhibit A ~ Freudian slip:

You know someone's a pretentious ahole, too

Implying that you yourself are a pretentious "ahole"; betchya didn't mean to type that one. Whoops! :P

Exhibit B ~ (Possibly Deliberate) Misinterpretation:

take a middling show like King of the Hill and present it as some kind of intellectual benchmark. These are the type of people who think "Watchmen" is a brilliant philosophical masterpiece that went over everyone's heads.

Nobody EVER said 'King of the Hill' is an "intellectual benchmark" of any kind. I clearly stated that there was no surprise that ADD-addled fans of shallow raunch-humor would find the show "boring". On the topic of 'Watchmen', they didn't follow the graphic novel (which WAS a "philosophical masterpiece") properly, so I can't say that I agree with you there.

Exhibit C ~ Flat-Out Projection:

That's the cute thing about pseudo-intellectuals. They can take anything--no matter how pedestrian--and elevate it to a level it doesn't deserve in order to make themselves seem so much more intellectual than everyone else.

Having an opinion about something and being able to articulate those thoughts coherently is by no means an implication of a "pseudo-intellectual", but your utter lack of reasoning behind this title you bestow upon me is a direct implication of a deep-seated self-loathing/projection of the obvious variety. Gotta love psychology. That is pretty cute <3

Exhibit D ~ Admittance to Lack of Information:

And for the record, I stopped watching King of the Hill precisely because it wasn't subtle. It was obvious after awhile that it was nothing more than Mike Judge using the show as a platform to complain about cultural trends like a crotchety old man. It had a certain charm in the beginning, but then it just got tiresome. The characters just became one-dimensional caricatures over time--Peggy is annoying and keeps mangling the English language; Bill's gross, creepy and socially awkward; Dale's a paranoid fool; and Bobby's the cute kid going through an oddball stage.

You haven't watched much of the show but claim it's not subtle, then admit to becoming bored with it. Make up your mind! Whooosh! Right over you head. Thanks for proving my point (two-for-two!)

Exhibit E ~ Complete Nonsense

If you think that made King of the Hill "subtle", you wouldn't last five minutes into any episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

As a fan of both programs, I'm not seeing your argument there since it doesn't actually exist.

Exhibit F ~ (Possibly Deliberate) Misunderstanding of Terms and/or Phrases:

BTW, learn what "subtle" means. Just because comedy isn't broad slapstick and in your face, it doesn't make it "subtle." Too many infants keep making this mistake. "Oh, this show isn't loud and obnoxious. That means it's subtle." No. No, it doesn't. It just means that it's not loud and obnoxious.

The DEFINITION of "subtle humor" is that of humor that is NOT "in-your-face" (aka slapstick comedy), so you're literally contradicting yourself.

Exhibit G ~ Flat-Out Pretentiousness

Too many infants

So individuals who don't fit your particular incorrect narrative of completely lacking the understanding of the difference between slapstick and subtle humor are infants? Sounds pretty pretentious to me..

I'm not even going to BOTHER with your second-to-last nonsense paragraph since it reeks with so much projected hate and nonsense that logic couldn't even make sense out of that level of hypocrisy. You're most likely a troll, but I'll indulge the mayhem that is your closing statement with:

Exhibit H ~ (Possibly Deliberate) Misquoting Due To Lack of Reading Comprehension:

"Addled"=state of confusion, muddled, etc. As in a person becoming so filled with fear that they can't think straight, or a person who's been drugged falling into a state of confusion.

Yes, addled. The very type of crowd I was referring to when talking about ADD children finding anything that lacks fifteen cut-aways before the end of a sentence to be "boring", which is a statement that didn't surprise me coming from such a fan as I stated in my OP.

It's cool though, consume some cannabis and cut out the IMDb when you're feeling too "pretentiously pseudo-intellectual" to make a cohesive argument.

Much love <3
