-->'''Voiced by:''' Music/DwightYoakam ("Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men"), Dave Thomas (all other appearances)

A crooked car dealer who owns several dealerships in Arlen.

* BadBoss: He horribly mistreats and underpays his women's roller derby team in "Arlen City Bomber."
* DirtyOldMan: In "Ho Yeah!", it's implied he patronized Tammi Duvall's services. He also joins Luanne's Bible class in her pool so he could ogle at her in "The Good Buck."
* FamilyBusiness: His father is also a car dealer. In "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men" Lane remarks that he plans on taking over his dad's dealership when he passes.
* HonestJohnsDealership: A corrupt but charismatic car dealer who tends to talk his customers into paying extra for his wares. He also fits the look as a sly salesman with his tacky suits and shit-eating grin.
* InsistentTerminology: Bill reminds him that he sold him a Ford Escort and sold pinstriping for it. Lane corrects him saying he "''financed''" pinstriping for his Escort.

->'''Voiced by''': [[AsHimself Chuck Mangione]].

Spokesman for the Mega-Lo-Mart, frequently seen around Heimlich County.

* AdamWesting: He evidently has anger management problems. He whacked the teacher upside the head with his fugelhorn just for spelling his name wrong. [[TheDitz Despite the fact the teacher had done that as a final test that he did with Hank first in front of the whole class.]]
* AsHimself: Started out as Mega-Lo-Mart's spokesman, before apparently relocating to Arlen permanently (after living in the Megalomart).
* BerserkButton: Either spelling his name wrong or calling him a chick. Possibly the reason why he was [[NoodleIncident in an anger management class.]]
* TheDitz: He was in anger management class and could have passed if it wasn't for the fact he failed the misspelled name test despite seeing Hank going through it ''right in front of Chuck.''
* {{Leitmotif}}: Chuck's song "Feels So Good", either as part of the soundtrack or played by Chuck.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Chuck was in his 60s during most of the show's run but his in-series character is modeled after how he looked in his 30s. Specifically from the cover of his 1977 album ''[[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/Chuck_Mangione%2C_Feels_So_Good_%281977%29.png Feels So Good]]''.

!!Milton Farnsworth "M.F." Thatherton
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_mc27tkg2ux1rwjpnyo1_500.png]]
->'''Voiced by''':\\
Creator/BurtReynolds ("The Company Man")\\
Creator/TobyHuss (all other appearances)

Former Strickland Propane employee, now Buck's business opponent and mortal enemy.

* EvilCounterpart: He is Strickland's according to Hank. In reality, they're not that different. His business, Thatherton Fuels, is a better example being an evil counterpart to Strickland Propane as they rely heavily cutting corners and gimmicky marketing tactics towards gaining sales compared to Strickland Propane's focus on quality customer service.
* {{Foil}}: He is one to Hank, who believes in giving honest goods and quality service to the customer, where Thatherton only cares about getting the money and has no problem cutting corners.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Often plays cards and gambles with his rival Buck Strickland.
* HiddenDepths: "Lost in Myspace" shows that he's a huge fan of the band Weezer.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Thatherton Fuels is this all over. He encourages his employees to screw over their customers to squeeze every last cent out of them possible. His business practices make Buck Strickland look clean.
* MeaningfulName: In "The Company Man", Hank assumes that M.F. stands for "Mother Fucker", when Thatherton [[CurseCutShort interrupts]] Hank and tells his potential client that it stands for "My Friend." WordOfGod says that it actually stands for Milton Farnsworth.
* PhraseCatcher: '''...Thatherton!''' Even Bobby gets in on it at one point.
* TheRival: With Buck and, to a lesser extent, Hank.
* SayMyName: Hank will utter "Thatherton!" when he appears, narrowing his eyes at him angrily.

* FatBastard: He is overweight and a real jerk to boot. It's also implied he might've been a war criminal, considering how he awaited trial at the Hague.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: He makes it incredibly clear to Kahn he only talks to him because he married Minh, and besides that, he actively despises him for being born a peasant, and thinks Minh could've married better. Connie herself doesn't think too highly of her maternal grandfather.

* JadedWashout: He was once as confident and competent as Hank, but years of compromising and getting kicked around by the school board and the PTA have really gotten to him. He was once an upstanding shop class student, but now he can't even remember the names of shop tools.

* AwfulWeddedLife: From what little is known about their marriage, it's been said to be turbulent. Bill was ExiledToTheCouch on their honeymoon and their marriage consisted of them fighting so loud, all the neighbors can hear it, and Lenore sleeping around with other people.

A Native American masseur, one time rock musician, and biological father of Joseph.

* AesopAmnesia: In Season 4, the affair ends when Nancy starts falling back in love with Dale and when John Redcorn feels guilty about betraying Dale's trust when he's only ever been a good friend (and helps John Redcorn get documents that would eventually help him reclaim some of his peoples' land). In Season 11, he seems to have forgotten about all this and is eager to rekindle things with Nancy.

* ArrowCatch: "Vision Quest" sees him catch with his bare hand an arrow fired by Joseph before it can hit and kill an innocent panda.
* BerserkButton: Do not imply a sexual attraction to Nancy in front of him, as Hank finds out in "Sug Night".
* BlatantLies: Flat out denies he cheated on Nancy years ago (while she was cheating on Dale with him).

* CharacterDevelopment: John Redcorn starts out as a double-barreled running gag: one about his affair with Nancy, the other about his mystical indigenous side. As the show went along (especially after "Nancy's Boys") he became a fairly well-rounded character, with interests and hobbies (Native American rights, his musical career) outside of womanizing. Some of his later appearances don't even reference Nancy or Joseph.
* DreadfulMusician: Played with; John Redcorn's music is pretty terrible when he tries to do hard rock with his band Big Mountain Fudgecake. To his own surprise, though, he turns out to be pretty good when he switches to playing acoustic and re-writes the lyrics from attempting to be as "metal" as possible. By the end of the show he winds up being a very successful children's entertainer.
* EveryoneHasStandards: John Redcorn may be a womanizer but he won't sleep with the wives or relatives of his friends. He tells Hank as much in "Peggy's Headache." Also, after Dale proves his friendship by helping him with a lawsuit, John Redcorn decides to break up with Nancy.

* FullNameBasis: He is never referred to as just John. It is always John Redcorn, even by his lover, Nancy.
* GlorifiedSpermDonor: He's forced to watch his son grow up being raised by another man, never to know his true heritage. He realizes that he might be Joseph's father, but Dale Gribble is his ''Dad''.
* HasAType: In "Three Men and a Bastard", Dale (observing Bill's new girlfriend Charlene while hiding in the bushes with John Redcorn) comments that the aliens who supposedly fathered Charlene's daughter Kate (and Joseph) seem to favor "women with pouty lips and round bottoms", referencing Charlene and his own wife Nancy. John Redcorn (the actual father of both children) enthusiastically agrees "yes, they do!".
* HeelRealization: Early in the series he thinks Dale is an annoying idiot and shamelessly sleeps with his wife, but once he discovers their shared hatred of the government they quickly become friends and he realizes his affair with Nancy is wrong.

** In "Arrow Head", he tells Hank that it's wrong to take something that isn't yours from someone else (referring to a Native American artifact Hank found in his lawn). Nancy then calls him back inside to continue their affair. John Redcorn embarrassingly returns the artifact to Hank, telling him "just food for thought" and goes back into the house.
** Various episodes would have him show similar disgust over something relatively minor while he himself is engaged in an affair. Once after catching Hank walking out of the pornography section of a video store he and Nancy shook their heads in disapproval while on their way to go have sex.
** John Redcorn is ''very'' protective and affectionate toward Nancy and hates the idea of her being hit on by other men even though, again, he's not her husband. He also slept behind her back multiple times while they were together, even fathering ''another'' child around Joseph's age.
** In "Spin the Choice," John Redcorn is shown to be very resentful of the fact Dale has "stolen" Joseph from him. Never mind the fact that his decade-and-a-half-long affair with Nancy is the only reason that "his" son is being raised by another man. In that same episode, he complains about being judged harshly by his neighbors for the fact that his distant ancestors practiced cannibalism, despite the fact that he has been spending the entire episode being outraged at them for the way their ancestors treated his tribe.
* HypocriteHasAPoint: While hypocritical, he's not wrong to take issue with how Dale raises Joseph, given he tends to spoil him or sets a bad example for how to act.
* InelegantBlubbering: "Spin the Choice" sees him break down and cry in his jeep in front of Hank, despairing over not being able to be a part of his son Joseph's life.

* LaserGuidedKarma: John Redcorn is paying for the fourteen years he slept with Nancy by watching his biological son be raised by Dale. He makes mention about loathing having to watch his son raised by an idiot, although Dale is actually an incredibly loving father even if he's a conspiracy freak. By the time the affair with Nancy ends, however, it's pretty clear that even though John Redcorn is the biological father, Joseph is ''Dale's'' son regardless, and saying anything now wouldn't change that.

* {{Jerkass}}: He went out of his way to screw Kahn over at the Nine Rivers Country Club's Karaoke Night by choosing his song before he went first.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: He makes it incredibly clear to Kahn he only talks to him because he married Minh, and besides that, he actively despises him for being born a peasant, and thinks Minh could've married better.

* TechnologicallyBlindElders: He tells Kahn to put music on his watch, which Kahn tells him isn't possible, as the watch isn't digital.
