On March 17th, 2002, Season 6 Episode 12 of King of the Hill[1] aired on television. In the episode, Peggy pretends to be a nun to get a substitute teaching job at a Catholic school. In one scene she has a nightmare about the children going to hell because of this, where she sees her husband Hank. He says, "That's a clean burning hell, I tell you what," then laughs evilly with fire reflecting in the lenses of his glasses (shown below).
On October 20th, 2015, a GIF version of the clip was uploaded to Tenor[2] (shown below).
