Trivia

The title is derived from the children game "King of the Hill" where the object of which is to stay on top of a large hill or pile as the "King of the Hill" while other players attempt to knock the King off the pile and take their place. See more »

Goofs

Grampa's dentures fit the bite mark on the frozen old mountain climber, implying that Grampa is the one that tried to eat him, not the other way around. But this climb would have happened in Grampa's youth, he would have had his regular teeth back then. So why do the dentures fit the bite mark? See more »

Quotes

Sherpa #1: Brad and Neil were quite insistent you not die.
Sherpa #2: Frankly we don't care.
Homer Simpson: I'm going to climb this entire mountain on my own!
Sherpa #1: Then technically, shouldn't you go back down and start all over?
