Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt


Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt is the redneck husband of Luanne Platter, in the incredible series King of the Hill. He is a badass.

Luanne is voiced by (RIP) Brittany Murphy, which is pretty great - but Lucky is voiced by Tom Fucking Petty. And not just a one-off... he's in a large portion of the series, as the like... 9th most important character! Everybody should watch this show, Mike Judge (the creator) is one of the smartest dudes in showbusiness.

Anyways, aside from being Tom Petty, and kicking ass in general, Lucky enjoys the "gentlemanly pursuits" of muddin', stickin', cat-fistin', stumping, and truck racing.

I watched an episode of King of the Hill yesterday, which involved the guest voice talents of Diedrich Bader, and "The Macho Man" Randy Savage - both of whom kick total ass. Please, get into this show.

The Amazing Kreskin

Pretty much owns. "Being Old School" is such an awesome quality in showbusiness.



His recent segment, almost 20 years after this, on Fallon is pure gold. If you find it (Jason Segel, Statler and Waldorf are also on the show) it is very much worth watching.
