King of the Hill

Hillennium - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: As Peggy goes for her present and rips the wrapping paper to see it's a grandfather clock, it is set at 12:35. The following shot it's at 11:55. A little later on when Hank is about to varnish the clock, the time changes again before and after he closes the garage door where he is doing the varnishing.

Soldier of Misfortune - S6-E3

Plot hole: As Dale comes to Hank's work and talks to Hank about the gun incident he has a spray pack on his back that is filled with poison and by accident sprays Joe Jack. Yet in the episode "The Exterminator" Dale was told by the doctors that he would not be able to use any type of hazardous chemicals with bug spraying as his lungs wouldn't be able to handle the fumes any more. Even if he ignored the advice the chemicals would have at least incapacitated him or killed him.

Three Coaches & a Bobby - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Coach Sauers is trying to run over the football players with his car on the football field, there are a lot of track marks on the field. There is then a tracking shot of Sauers from straight ahead of his car and you can see there are absolutely no track marks whatsoever, on the field behind him. (00:15:30)

Won't You Pimai Neighbor? - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: After Bobby takes the first spiritual test, Minh and Kahn come behind Bobby. Looking at Minh's hair and the top of her dress are both very wet. However before this she was completely dry and there was no scene where water was sprayed on her. She stays wet for the rest of the scene probably indicating that there is a scene deleted from the episode as it is far too obvious to be missed.

Joust like a Woman - S6-E9

Deliberate mistake: After Peggy has knocked King Philip off his horse at the end you can the sun is setting behind her, when it goes to a reaction shot of Bobby and Luann in the stands, it is a blue sky and sunny behind them. The following shot of Peggy it goes back to the sun setting. The mistake could be said to be deliberate as the shot was used earlier in the scene and probably used again to save time and money than re-animating the exact same shot.

Lummie

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Peggy, Hank, and Tammy are in the car and Peggy says "We all make mistakes", her lipstick is a duller, orange shade, then it goes back to being red.

Naked Ambition - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: As Kahn is yelling at Bobby after he sees him kissing Connie over the fence he chases after Bobby and in one of the shots you can see the ladder Bobby used is gone. The following shot it shows Luanne in the bathroom and through the window we see the ladder has reappeared. The other change in the shots is the ladders and their size. Before the shot in the bathroom the ladder's height (Bobby's ladder) was enough it reached over the fence. As we see the ladder through the bathroom it's not even reaching the top of the fence.

Hillennium - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: Just before Hank uses the varnish on the grandfather clock you can see a quick shot of the power drill. This would have been impossible as we saw, and he told Bobby, he got rid of all his power tools the day before for some corn. Later in the scene when he wakes up the power tool has disappeared for good.

Cotton's Plot - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: After Peggy has fallen out of her wheelchair she had her bag on the back of her wheelchair. When Cotton is taunting her and pushes the chair near her, the bag has disappeared.

Lummie

Luanne Virgin 2.0 - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When Bobby is trying to convince Hank's friends to join the abstinence club, and when he asks Boomhauer he just stays silent. Bill then signs up and gets one of the cards Bobby has. As Hank starts to talk it goes to a close up of him but in the next shot Boomhauer is looking at one of the cards. Bill still had his card so where did Boomhauer get one of those cards?

Lummie

Little Horrors of Shop - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Peggy is taping a photo of Hank to the blackboard to discuss about the substitute teacher of the year. When she tapes it up you can see it's near the top of the board near the writing accompanying it. After a shot of the students the photo has moved down quite a bit along with the writing that was there.

De-Kahnstructing Henry - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Minh is taking out the garbage she trips over and starts punching the 3 bags she is carrying. You can see the bags are securely tied up at the top of the bags. The scene then goes to Hank and Peggy and you can hear Minh continue her punching on the garbage bags. As the shot goes back to Minh on the ground when Hank goes to see her 2 of the bags are now open and garbage is everywhere. Its unlikely she ripped open the bags herself whilst punching them as Hank ties them up at the top and there are no rips in the bag. They were also securely tightened to begin with. (00:15:25)

De-Kahnstructing Henry - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: As Kahn is putting the golf club away after Hank has just used it there is a groove in the locker to support the club. Kahn seems to place the club horizontally in the locker no where near the groove and to the left of it. The next shot its now sitting in the groove vertically. (00:05:05)

Peggy Makes the Big Leagues - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: During the booster club meeting at the beginning of the episode, there is some guy with a moustache sitting at the end of the table. After they finish the video of the football, there is a different looking guy sitting there.

Lummie

When Cotton Comes Marching Home - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: As we see the float for the time in the driveway when Cotton arrives home, the float is vertical to the driveway. In the following shot Peggy starts asking Cotton for his war medals, the float is now turned around horizontally to the driveway.

Lummie

Spin the Choice - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bobby is refusing to partake in thanksgiving celebrations and Hank starts asking him whether he's nervous about the turkey carving. You can see Bobby's carving knife is pointed toward the wall with the blade (curved edge) pointed towards Bobby. Before Bobby picks it up to give back to Hank its facing the other way.

Lummie

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Other mistake: In the episode, Hank's truck is destroyed when it gets stuck on the train tracks and a train smashes into it. Later on when Bobby is walking home by himself he finds the cover for the gear shift stick and puts it in his pocket. After a while Hank finds Bobby and Bobby gives him the cover and Hank puts it right on. Sounds fine. The only problem is that Hank has to screw the cover back onto the stick shift but doesn't have to remove any part of the previous stick. When the train hit the car, Bobby puts the cover right in his pocket and it would have had a bit of the stick left in it, as he had to screw it on. Its unlikely Bobby would have removed the bit of stick inside it because when we see him pick it up there is no part of the stick he would have been able to grip to unscrew it from the cover.

Lummie

Flush with Power - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: As the plumbers are installing Hank's new low flow toilet, the guy with the red hair stands up and is at level height with his co-worker standing next to him. In the next shot he is now a few inches taller.

Lummie

Hank: Calm down, Boomhauer! I can't understand a word you're saying.

The Wedding of Bobby Hill - S3-E14

Trivia: During Hanks's conversation with Bobby when he tells him that he will have to marry Luanne, look at the shelf behind Bobby. There is a Bart Simpson doll there. A few years before this was featured the Hill family was in the crowd at one of the pee wee football games in the Simpsons episode "Bart Star".
