King of the Hill

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.

Naked Ambition - S4-E15

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode there is a shot of the parked vehicles and the Hill's car is yellow (the car next to Dale's van). As Bobby and Connie are talking, the car behind Bobby (the Hill's car) is now blue.

Movin' On Up - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Luanne gets home from work at the start of the episode, Bobby is waiting for her to get the food she brings home. She puts the duck shaped bag on his tray with the beak of it facing Bobby. The next shot its facing the other way.

Bill of Sales - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Peggy is insulting Bill to try and get him to sell Metalife products again, he has a beer in his left hand. In the next shot when he tries to convince Peggy to give him another chance the beer has disappeared even though he never put the beer down. They were outside on the front lawn so there was not enough time for him to hide it or place it somewhere else on his front lawn.

Bill of Sales - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: As Peggy & Bill are checking into the hotel, there is a wide shot of the lobby and Peggy is wearing a sleeveless shirt. In the next shot that is a close up and she is wearing a pink full sleeve shirt.

Bill of Sales - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Peggy tries to sell Dale the Metalife products she is just passing the fence (at the bottom of her driveway). In the following shot we her cart is in the middle of the road. The change of shots there was not enough time for her to have made that distance from the end of the driveway to the middle of the road.

Bill of Sales - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: Bill picks up the case of Metalife products to put them in his car. After discovering he has a blister he picks up the box and the logo on the box is facing the left-hand side. The next shot it's changed to the front of the box. The change of shots was instant so there was no chance he could have turned the box around.

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.

Won't You Pimai Neighbor? - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Kahn gives the guys in the alley invitations for his Pimai party. As Dale opens his invitation he places the envelope in front of the invitation he is holding. The next shot they have reversed position with the invitation in front.

Won't You Pimai Neighbor? - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: As Hank and Bobby are leaving the reverend's office, Hank puts his hands on Bobby's shoulders and is at an angle away from the reverend. In the next shot from the reverend's angle we can see he is facing her and the position has changed from the previous shot.

Lummie

Won't You Pimai Neighbor? - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: When Hank looks at his invitation he reads the writing in it. The next shot you can see the writing on the card as if Hank had turned the card over pointing towards the ground. However there was not enough time between shots for him to have turned it around.

Nancy's Boys - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: When Dale is talking about getting the silver medal, you can see that on the wall, near the bed, there is a wind catcher. Once Nancy says "If you say so, I was pretty drunk", the wind catcher disappears.

Nancy's Boys - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: When Dale knocks John Redcorn the shape of the lamp he's holding changes between shots. The shape you can see changes between the shot of Dale knocking him out and the next shot that shows a wide shot of the people in the room. The other mistake in the shot is when Dale drops the remaining part of the lamp. Despite dropping it from about chest height the remaining part doesn't break when it's dropped.

Flush with Power - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: Before the final board and zoning meeting finishes at the end of the episode, there are a number of people in the audience and a stenographer. As Hank is leaving they have all gone. It would have been near impossible for the entire room to vacate that quickly as less than half a minute had passed between seeing them and the room being completely empty.

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

Flush with Power - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: During the first (or the second) Board & Zoning meeting, there is a jug of water next to Nate. In the wide shots of the board the handle is to the left but in the close ups of Nate it's now facing the right.

Lummie

Flush with Power - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: As Hank is telling Bobby off about stealing the water you can see that Bobby's closet is behind Hank. Its position in this scene is opposite the bed. However in every other episode is in front of the foot of Bobby's bed.

Returning Japanese (1) - S6-E21

Plot hole: In this episode, Hank meets his paternal half brother. They look alike. However, we saw in an earlier episode that Hank's facial structure takes after his mother, not his father. Since they are paternal half brothers, then the Japanese brother cannot look like Hank since he has a different mother.

Trivia: One of the show's creators made a cartoon about a retarded pig. Boomhauer's voice is based on the voice of an angry viewer who called when he was offended by the cartoon.

Show generally

Question: How can Dale be so oblivious to the fact that Joseph isn't his biological son or that Nancy cheated on him with John Redcorn considering in one episode Dale actually caught them both in bed together.

Answer: In addition to Brian Katcher's response: it's supposed to be a joke that Dale is always suspicious about conspiracy theories, mysteries, etc, but he is "clueless" about his own wife having an affair. Of course, as Brian wrote, many fans think that Dale is pretending to be clueless because he doesn't want Nancy to leave him.

Answer: That's the shtick. Everyone in town knows that Dale's wife is seeing John behind his back and that Joseph is obviously really John's son, but Dale is completely oblivious (he's not that smart of a man). In one episode, Dale even says he's not homophobic because 'John Redcorn is gay, and he's one of my closest friends.' Of course there is a fan theory that Dale is completely aware of what's going on but chooses to ignore it out of fear of his marriage ending.

Brian Katcher

Also, if Dale *does* know about the affair, what choice does he have anyway? Explain to everyone he meets that Nancy is his wife, and Joseph is her son from her boyfriend? If he wants to stay with Nancy, then raising Joseph as his own child is slightly less awkward. Especially while Joseph is younger. I know of one man who did this. It was obvious that his wife had an affair, and "his" younger daughter had been fathered by someone of a different race. An "elephant in the room" situation.
