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.

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.

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.

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

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the mechanic is checking Hank's car, there is a guy in the car who is sitting on the right side with his hands on the wheel. The problem is the steering wheel is on the left side of the car. In the next shot the steering wheel and the guy return back to the left side of the truck.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Whilst Hank is talking about the price of popcorn at the movies Bobby & Connie come up to Hank and there is a blue poster next to Bobby of a woman holding a gun. In the next shot you can see the blue poster is now next to Hank despite a red & orange poster next to Hank in the previous shot of him.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When Hank & Peggy are discussing what film to see, Connie & Bobby were to the right of Peggy who is right next to the truck. In the next shot Hank & Peggy are getting in the truck and Bobby and Connie are already there. Yet we would have had to have seen them go behind or in front of Peggy to get into the truck.

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.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: In past seasons, Hank's truck has obviously been shown as a 1992-era Ford Ranger,however in this episode it is shown as a 1980's-era Ranger.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: The entire episode is about Hank being very attached to his current truck, and refusing to purchase a new one (until he has no choice). But in S4 E23 Hank tells Peggy "You know how much I want a new truck."

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Plot hole: After the old guys take Hank's clothes & throw him over the fence at the Alamo, Hank goes right into the building without having to unlock the door. Despite the fence being locked up, it seems a little odd that such an historical monument like the Alamo wouldn't have its main door locked.

The Wedding of Bobby Hill - S3-E14

Trivia: During Hanks's conversation with Bobby when he tells him that he will have to marry Luanne, look at the shelf behind Bobby. There is a Bart Simpson doll there. A few years before this was featured the Hill family was in the crowd at one of the pee wee football games in the Simpsons episode "Bart Star".

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.
