King of the Hill

Vision Quest - S7-E12

Question: Obviously, the guys don't believe that Bill has a son named Trey. Hank points out that the name was Travis last week. But why is Bill pretending to have a son?

Answer: Bill lives in a state of denial. He hopes his wife will return any day. He escapes into elaborate fantasies, like having a son.

I've noticed that Bill often wants to copy what the other guys are doing, as part of his fantasies. So if Hank and Dale are talking about issues with their sons, he wants to talk about a son, too.

Answer: I don't think we can be totally sure, because John Redcorn has never, to my knowledge, said anything else about thinking the Hills are Jewish. This might be related to the stereotype that Jewish people are very careful with money. Hank and Peggy are known to be responsible and diligent. They don't make extravagant purchases, rarely do spontaneous things, and they maintain a comfortable and modest home. It's still a stretch to assume they are Jewish, but it's my best guess.

This also might be a mistake. In the episode "Revenge of the Lutefisk," John Redcorn was at the Hills' church, sitting with Dale and Nancy. He should know they are not Jewish.

Be True to Your Fool - S7-E19

Deliberate mistake: Hank only discovers the tattoo on the back of his head after having his hair shaved off. There is no way, however, he wouldn't have noticed it before this. The tattoo artist had to shave hair off the back of his head before putting on the tattoo. While he might have not realised right away, the pain the following day and the fact that he would have noticed a large part of his hair missing would make it unavoidable.
