There were similar characters in King Of The Hill, and while they were funny, it was just "here's one extreme, now we'll move along."

King of the Hill never got the respect from Fox it deserved. Hank Hill could have started out as just a Texan Homer Simpson, but Judge wisely went in a different direction, and made Hank Hill a full fleshed out character.
