King of the Hill

[on:]

Hey, I know that some people have already have done posts about King of the Hill (I know I did a search on it) But in King of the Hill, Hank asks Bobby to smoke a pack of Cigarettes after he had smoked one, they ripped that off from Simpsons: The episode when Bart is working for the Mafia, and they ask Bart to hide a truck load of Cigarettes in his room, Homer finds out and he says that Bart has to smoke every pack ( but he doesn't) and that was in like the 3rd season!

I have never seen the KOTH episode in question, but parents making their children smoke an entire pack of cigarettes after they catch them smoking one is a fairly common punishment. I think the idea is that an entire pack will get them sick and put them off smoking permanently.  The joke in the Simpsons case is that Homer takes it overboard and wants Bart to smoke a room full of cigarettes. Again, I have no knowledge for the King of the Hill scene, but I suspect it is just Hank trying the age-old punishment (correct me if I am wrong, of course).
