Hulu King Of The Hill at Comic Con
This year, Hulu, the go-to streaming destination for adult animation, brought Arlen, Texas, from the iconic King of the Hill franchise to life right outside the Convention Center.
Guests stepped inside Hank Hill’s Backyard for a big ole cookout, complete with BBQ bites served up throughout the day, classic lawn games, themed photo ops and a cold can of Alamo (water) to beat the heat.
Taking place July 24 through July 27, Hank Hill’s Backyard transported fans into the world of King of the Hill, where they engaged with interactive moments from one of the longest-running animated series on TV and imagined what it’s like to live in Arlen, Texas!
Fans got to experience:
Alamo Pong
Guests had the chance to partake in a game of ‘Alamo Pong’, participating in some friendly competition in hopes of winning a prize and claiming Alamo Pong championship. Large-scale 2D cutouts of the King of the Hill’s beloved characters were stationed throughout the space for special photo opportunities.
Lawn Mower Photo Op
Guests had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to picture themselves in the world of King of the Hill. The Lawn Mower photo opportunity moment featured the iconic Hill residence, where guests could pose on the front lawn with large-scale 2D cutouts of the beloved Hill family, ride the family lawn mower, and ‘drive’ through Arlen, Texas.
Mega Lo Mart Customization Hat Station
Guests visited the Mega Lo Mart, an Arlen staple, to customize their own Trucker hat with special patches, unique to King of the Hill. With an array of hats and colors to choose from, guests were fitting in with the citizens of Arlen!
Water Tower
You could quench your thirst with a crisp can of Alamo water under the Arlen water tower. Not only does the water tower serve as a beacon of Arlen, Texas – it was also a rehydration point for attendees. Guests received cold-canned water in Alamo branded aluminum cans.
Rhinestein’s Cowboy Boot Toss
You could visit Rhinestein’s Cowboy storefront for a game of boot toss. Guests were given 2 pairs of oversized, animated-style boots with the goal of tossing the open side of the boot over a stake in front of the store. The lucky winners received prizes exclusive to the activation.
