The Buck Stops Here - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: Whilst Bobby is talking to the other caddy about the ice blocking, Bobby is holding a coned ice cream in his hand. You can see he is holding a napkin around the cone below his fingers. In the following shot that shows a close up of his Bobby's face the napkin has moved up and is under his hand.

I Don't Want to Wait - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Bobby is driving the golf cart, he is alone. However, when he stops the cart to invite a neighbour (also in a cart) to his party, you can see feet and knees of someone sitting in the rear of the cart.

I Don't Want to Wait - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode Peggy gives Bobby his birthday cake without any pieces missing from it or marks in the cake. However earlier in the episode, Bobby brings cake for Connie. It's doubtful that there were two identical cakes. You can tell this is the same type of cake because the cream on the top is the same shape and color Bobby brought to Connie.

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.

I Don't Want to Wait - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Bobby runs after Connie, (just before she gets in the truck with Joseph) you can see the front door of the Hill's house is open to the left. Even though in the shot before Connie runs out (and every other episode) the door opens to the right.

Spin the Choice - S5-E3

Deliberate mistake: When Dale calls Hank from John Redcorn's trailer, the wooden clock behind Hank (in the Hill's kitchen) has no markings or hands to tell what time it is. This is a mistake as it is the exact same shape and object as it was before this episode and I doubt they replaced the clock with an completely exact object as before. A side note on the mistake is that it may be considered deliberate as the clock in previous episodes is shown frequently in the background and will generally change between shots.

Spin the Choice - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: As Hank is telling Bobby to give his speech at Thanksgiving everyone moves in around Bobby. If you look at Bill he comes in from the right even though he was on the standing to the left of Bobby in the previous shot.

Lummie

Spin the Choice - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when Hank gives Bobby the turkey knife it is in a red padding. Just as he's about to carve the bread (for practice) the padding is now yellow and stays that color for the rest of the scene.

Lummie

Spin the Choice - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Bobby is accusing Hank for the first time of taking Native American land you can see Bill is standing behind Bobby. In a close up shot of Bobby, Bill is now standing to his right. As Bobby starts walking Bill is behind him again.

Lummie

Spin the Choice - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Before John Redcorn gives Joseph the Horn & Feathers cap, he is driving and you can see there are white lane markings on the road to the left of the car. After Joseph leaves the markings on the road disappear for the rest of the scene.

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.

Peggy Makes the Big Leagues - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: On Peggy's first day of teaching she is called over to the lunch table of some of the other teachers. Other than the woman she first talks to, most of the people at the table keep changing. The first shot is a wide shot of the group of people at the table with the second shot a close up shot of them. Firstly the guy across from her at the table is wearing a green shirt. When she sits down its now a white shirt. The other mistakes is with two of the other people. At the end of the table there is a black guy and the lady in the middle is wearing a dark jacket with black hair. When Peggy sits down the black guy is now white and the woman in the middle is now very old with glasses, white hair and a light purple top.

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.

When Cotton Comes Marching Home - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When Cotton is trying to use the circular saw on the car dealer, the extension plug it's connected to gets disconnected around half way onto the alley road. The next shot its moved to just past the driveway, and the following shot it's now moved to about halfway down the driveway.

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

When Cotton Comes Marching Home - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: As Hank visits Cotton to give his uniform, Cotton goes into the middle stall of the bathroom. If you look at the stall to the right it has its door open and no one is in there. As they are speaking you can see the door has closed in the reflection of the mirror. You can see even see it's closed without using the mirror when Hank puts the uniform down on the chair.

When Cotton Comes Marching Home - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: Before Topsy (Cotton's friend) & Cotton tie up the restaurant manager there is a quick shot that shows the sign on the door for the men's room. It has the symbol on it for disability access. However in one of the previous shots when Cotton tries to leave the restaurant the sign is the same but there was no wheelchair accessible symbol.

What Makes Bobby Run? - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: Whilst Bobby is trying out for the mascot position of the Landry Longhorns, they have a tape player on the judge's desk for the music. In the end of Bobby's tryout there is a shot from behind the desk and the tape player has disappeared.

More trivia for King of the Hill

Answer: If you are talking about the "Thou shalt not do this, thou shalt not do that" song, I'm not sure if a song like that actually exists. Green Day, the guest voices on the episode, might have just been improvising to keep their appearance from being too obvious.
