History Recap / KingOfTheHillS1E10KeepingUpWithOurJoneses

* ScoldedByAStranger: When the Hills attend a Smokers Anonymous meeting, Bobby reveals that Hank punished him by making him smoke an entire cigarette carton after discovering him and Joseph smoking a joint in a public bathroom, causing the foreman of the meeting takes no prisoners when he criticizes Hank. Hank just rocks the boat when he reacts defensively to it

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Hank Hill, who takes propane safety quite seriously, joins Enrique on smoking near the tanks (which is dangerous, by the way). Justified since Hank was addicted to nicotine and it was affecting his personality.

* OffModel: In the close-up shot of Ladybird licking Luanne's cosmetic makeup, her eyes are much larger than normal and even have visible sclerae.

* SmokingIsNotCool: [[AnAesop The Aesop of the episode.]] It shows smoking in a bad light, with the family members getting testy from time without a cigarette and of course, getting at each other's throats when trying to withdraw.
** In addition, when Hank and Peggy went to a restaurant called Smokey's, the non-smoking section is show to be quite lively with a jazz band and people there enjoying themselves. The smoking section has less-than-attractive people hacking their heads off, of which both Hank and Peggy seem turned off by the experience. Plus the former owner of the restaurant is stated by the hostess to have died of cancer.

* RuleOfSymbolism: As the Hill family is enduring a night of withdrawal to kick their smoking habits, a storm is raging outside, and it blows over a cigarette vending machine, and blows away a billboard that advocates child smoking.

* DoWrongRight: Hank has to point out to Bobby how to smoke properly, like how to hold a cigarette like an American instead of a European (like a pencil), inhaling slowly instead of hot-boxing (quick puffs), even goes so far as to show him how to flick a cigarette.

* OpenMindedParent: Dale shows himself to be on when talking to Joseph about smoking. Instead of discipling him like a normal parent would do, Dale just gives Joseph some material to read, like a government report on smoking (which presumably talks about the health dangers of it) or a pop-up book from the tobacco industry that tries to sell people into smoking (the latter which entices Joseph).

* WhatTheHellHero: Peggy has this reaction when Hank tells her about his punishment for Bobby, but he wasn't having any of it, so he can sneak off a smoke. And later on, the support group to get them to stop smoking are totally disgusted with his parenting methods.

* GoingColdTurkey: The family ends up doing this after Peggy throws away the last cigarette when Luanne locked them in a room. While initially miserable, it all worked out in the end for them.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: While Hank and Peggy chew Bobby out for smoking, Hank reads off the diseases caused by smoking, Bobby responds by saying "I thought those were the ingredients, which pissed them off even more.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Hank Hill, who takes propane safety quite seriously, joins Enrique on smoking near the tanks. Justified since Hank needed to satisfy his needs.

* GoingColdTurkey: The family ends up doing this after Peggy throws away the last cigarette. While initially miserable, it all worked out in the end for them.

* BlatantLies: Peggy tries to sneak a cigarette by hiding in the closet during their attempts to withdraw. When she gets caught, she claims to be knitting.

* OpenMindedParent: Dale shows himself to be on when talking to Joseph about smoking. Instead of discipling him like a normal parent would do, Dale just gives Joseph some material to read, like a government report on smoking (which presumably talks about the health dangers of it) or a pop-up book from the tobacco industry that tries to sell people into smoking (the later which entices Joseph).

* DoWrongRight: Hank has to point out to Bobby how to smoke properly, like how to hold a cigarette like an American instead of a European, inhaling slowly instead of hot-boxing (quick puffs), even goes so far as to show him how to flick a cigarette.

* RadishCure: Hank gets Bobby to stop smoking by forcing him to smoke an entire pack at once. It works on Bobby, but Hank just gets hooked on smoking again.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Hank has none of the smoking group voicing their displeasure about his punishment for Bobby by telling them how whiny they are and how they need to get off their high horse before leaving.

* TheStinger: The episode ends with Boomhauer giving a humorous message not to smoke, which ends with him walking away with a woman for an alternative of "oral fixation".
