History Fridge / KingoftheHill

* Cotton and Hank's [[CharacterizationMarchesOn relationship changing after Cotton's first appearance]] is due to Hank sticking up to him in his debut episode.

* Dale's attempt to break Boomhauer out of the mental hospital in "Naked Ambition" involves trading clothes with one of the inmates. We never see said inmate be returned to the hospital.

* Dale works as an exterminator, killing bugs for a living. He also despises his father (for trying to steal his wife, Nancy, never mind that his father is gay [and only pretended to kiss Nancy because he didn't want his son to find out he was a homosexual] and Nancy has had an ongoing affair with Dale's friend, John Redcorn), whose name is -- wait for it -- Bug.

* Hank's dog's name is Ladybird. She is named after First Lady Ladybird Johnson. Her husband LBJ was a famous Texan, and was well known for his pet dogs.
** [[DontExplainTheJoke That's the joke.]]
* In "Keeping Up With Our Joneses" when Bobby is caught smoking, Peggy warns him it will stunt his growth. Bobby becomes addicted to cigarettes for a short time, and since Joseph and Connie hit puberty and age quicker than Bobby, Peggy may've been right.

* With the naivete of Hank and Peggy about drugs, prostitution, and other vices of the world, it's a damn good thing Bobby is more street-smart by comparison or else he'd probably get into way more troble than he usually does.

* "Lost in Myspace" features Strickland Propane getting [[WereStillRelevantDammit by getting a MySpace]] [[DeaderThanDisco page for the company.]] While it comes across as dated for 2008 (and a sign that the show writers are trying to stay hip and relevant, even though it's years past that), may towns like Arlen in real life are a bit behind the times and would embrace trends like MySpace

* The series takes on a whole new life once you start thinking of Peggy Hill as the villain.
* The MySpace centric episode "Lost in Myspace" features Strickland Propane getting [[WereStillRelevantDammit by getting a MySpace]] [[DeaderThanDisco page for the company.]] While it comes across as dated for 2008 (and a sign that the show writers are trying to stay hip and relevant, even though it's years past that), may towns like Arlen in real life are a bit behind the times.
* Dale works as an exterminator, killing bugs for a living. He also despises his father, whose name is -- wait for it -- Bug.
* Kahn is an anagram of Hank.

* In "Junkie Business" Hank tries asking questions to potential employees about religion (even though asking questions like that during a job interview in America is hideously illegal). Peggy stops him to tell him that is wrong but the next day he asks people if they would eat with Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha. It sounds like he found a new way to secretly discriminate against potential employees.
** If you're not Christian then this was horrifying the instant it came out of his mouth, not just when thinking on it after the fact. (Leaving it here though since maybe it was a fridge thing for the majority.)
* In the episode when Bill gets involved with a bunch of over-enthusiastic body builders in order to get in shape for his army physical, he injures himself after putting on too many weights for a work-out machine. We don't know exactly what injury the machine caused until the end of the episode. The doctor states that Bill had ruptured his rectum, causing his internal systems to become external. It's called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectal_prolapse rectal prolapse]] and it's exactly as pleasant as it sounds.

* On ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', Dale is obsessed with conspiracy theories about aliens, the government, etc. Everyone dismisses Dale as a kook. Recently, I realized something. The characters of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' once made a cameo appearance on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Therefore, they must live in the same universe. In another episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Homer meets Mulder and Scully from ''Series/{{The X-Files}}''. In other words, ''King Of The Hill'' exists in the same universe as ''Series/{{The X-Files}}''. So Dale could be right about everything!
** Though if you take that in, it becomes FridgeHorror since Homer Simpson appeared in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode PTV at the end of the intro, meaning that ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' would be in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. It's... ''odd''... thinking that a "regular" series could be in the same universe as the wacky ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', and worse seeing Peter Griffin's crimes throughout the show's run. Sure, from the FG side, his "crimes" are funny if you like the "random" humor, but imagine a person like Peter, especially him from the later seasons, in ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''... he'd be a villain whose very appearance would shift the show into NightmareFuel. -- @/GreatPikminFan.
** Confirming the initial fridge brilliance: Due to Stewie's mucking about with time travel, ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' are in the same universe, by way of a cameo by Roger. By extension, that means that King Of The Hill and American Dad are in the same verse as well and that verse is occupied by a known alien (Roger). In other words, at the very least, Dale is right about there being aliens.

* With the naivete of Hank and Peggy about drugs, prostitution, and other vices of the world, it's a lucky thing Bobby is more street-smart by comparison or else he'd probably get into way more trouble than he usually does.
** Also, just imagine if Hank and Bobby's personalities were reversed. Bobby would make less friends and Hank would get into a lot of trouble.

Think about that for a minute.
