King of the Hill

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Other mistake: When Hank runs into the building to hide and lays down in the square of moonlight on the floor, he looks up at the window and a couple of clouds pass by. The clouds move too quickly, and when Hank is shown again, no shadows from the clouds move across him.

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.

I Don't Want to Wait - S5-E2

Other mistake: After Hank & Peggy pick Bobby up from the airport you can see part of the clouds through the windshield. One of the clouds you can see stays in the exact same spot whilst they are driving along the main road in the back windshield. It is a cloud because of the distinct color. It also couldn't be a sticker as you can see when they park the car at the restaurant there are no marks on the windshield.

Redcorn Gambles with His Future - S9-E11

Other mistake: In the season four episode "Nancy Boys", when Nancy calls John Redcorn and tells him that she wants him back, he says, "I'm thirty-six years old. I don't need this crap." But here while John is talking to Hank, he mentions waking up one day and realizing that he is forty. If four years had passed since his break-up with Nancy, then Bobby and Joseph would now be sixteen and at least sophomores in high school, but they are still in middle school.

Square-Footed Monster - S13-E3

Other mistake: During the storm, after Peggy uses the axe on the McMansion support beam, when it cuts to Luanne running with the tow chain attached to Lucky's pickup truck, note the other end of the chain in midair is missing. The animation is incomplete at the left side of the screen.

Super Grover

Vision Quest - S7-E12

Other mistake: When Hank tells John Redcorn that his family is not Jewish, John is noticeably surprised. However, in the episode "Revenge of the Lutefisk" (3x21), John was at church with the Hills and Gribbles. He already knew that they are not Jewish.

Jumpin' Crack Bass - S2-E5

Other mistake: The reflecting light on the water is on the wrong animation layer, appearing over anything else in the scene that comes into their position, despite being in the background. (00:20:40)

Bad Girls, Bad Girls Whatcha Gonna Do - S7-E3

Other mistake: When Bobby is caught spray-painting the fence, Hank says that he and Peggy took their wedding photos in front of that fence. In the episode "As Old As The Hills", part one, there is a photo of Hank and Peggy living in an apartment after they got married.

Dang Ol' Love - S6-E20

Other mistake: At the prison, Bill meets Alicia, the same woman who gave Leanne a ride to the Hill house in Season Two ("Leanne's Saga"). Same voice, tattoo on the arm, and general appearance. Alicia tells him that she was in prison for killing her boyfriend. So it's odd that she was free in Season Two. Most likely, a sentence for homicide or manslaughter would be at least five years, and that much time has not passed. Otherwise, Bobby, Connie, and Joseph would be in their late teens.

Azalea

Patch Boomhauer - S8-E1

Other mistake: When Boomhauer sees Katherine at the gas station, she says, "It's been twelve years." When Hank talks to Boomhauer in his garage, he mentions Boomhauer breaking up with Katherine twenty years ago.

Father of the Bribe - S6-E6

Other mistake: The premise of this episode makes no sense. Bobby and Connie have previously spent a lot of time together and/or with Joseph. They were also shown on "dates", i.e. the high school dance where No Doubt played. Basically, they were a steady junior high/middle school couple. However, in this episode, they are suddenly "too different" and can barely get through a few dates together.

Yard, She Blows! - S9-E4

Other mistake: In this episode, Peggy is terrible at gardening. In the fourth season, she brought flowers to the man who was making foot fetish videos. She said that the flowers were "so pretty" and were from her "own garden."

Night and Deity - S7-E21

Other mistake: Dale laughs at Nancy for picking up the diazinon, instead of the bird repeller gel. He then picks up a bag, goes up the ladder, and when he turns the bag around, it says diazanon on the bag he picked up. The only gel in the scene was what Nancy picked up.

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.

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.

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.
