Stupidity: There's no reason the robber can't use baby Ricky, who's still in the car, as a hostage to force Billy out of hiding.

King of the Hill (1997)
Question: Why does everyone always call John Redcorn by his full name?
Answer: John is a common enough name that they might know several other Johns that we've never met, so they're being specific.

To Catch a Killer (2023)
Factual error: Eleanor Falco is mentioned as having substance problems. No way would the FBI recruit someone with such a problem.

Married... with Children (1987)
Nightmare on Al's Street - S1-E11
Question: What does Steve mean when he tells Marcy he's horny and has been to Buffalo?
Answer: In the first season, Steve and Marcy are portrayed as being more proper and "straight-laced", compared to the following three seasons (and Marcy's later personality, after they divorce). I think Steve is having more "exotic" urges than usual, after going to Buffalo. If I am correct, it's not considered a very wild and intense place, but it was a change from the Rhoades' well-managed routine.

The Jerk (1979)
Question: Why is this movie called "The Jerk"? Navin's naive, not a jerk.
Answer: Navin self-applies the "Jerk" epithet early in the film, using it not in the sense of someone obnoxious or mean (as it is used in most cases), but in the sense of a stupid person. He's saying he blames himself and his lack of intelligence (though, as you say, it is usually simple naïveté) for ending up where he is (broke, homeless).

Love Hurts and So Does Art - S3-E18
Plot hole: There's no reason Hank or Peggy can't call the deli owner and tell him not to sell any more food to Bobby once he contracts gout.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Bobby has generally earned his parents' trust. He might get into trouble occasionally, as many pre-teen boys do, but not so much that Hank and Peggy need to cover all the bases. They believe that he stopped going to the deli. As Peggy tells Connie, "He is doing everything he can to get back on his feet in time for that dance."

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Question: Why didn't Leia keep the bomb she'd had earlier when she turned Chewbacca over to Jabba, when she unfroze Han?
Answer: She likely wasn't allowed to keep it, as it would be considered a continued threat to Jabba and his minions. To claim the reward, she probably had to relinquish it. Voluntarily surrendering it would be a show of "good faith" once Leia (posing as a bounty hunter) got the payment for Chewbacca. Wanting to keep it would be suspicious.

Character mistake: Hank talks about watching the Broncos vs the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII. This is incorrect. They played in Super Bowl XII. Super Bowl XIII was the Cowboys vs the Steelers.

Who's Harry Crumb? (1989)
Audio problem: When Nikki calls out to her father about Harry having arrived her lips don't match with the audio.
Answer: I don't think this has been explained in any episode. At some point, he most likely asked people to use his full name. Perhaps he wants to highlight the "Redcorn" at all times, out of pride for his family history.
