[[folder:John Redcorn III]]
[[quoteright:146:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/redcorn1_3231.gif]]

A Native American masseuse, one time rock musician, and biological father of Joseph. Voiced by Victor Aaron, and Jonathan Joss.
----
* 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 helped John Redcorn get documents that would eventually help him reclaim his peoples' land). In Season 11, he seems to have forgotten about all this and is eager to rekindle things with Nancy.
* BerserkButton: Do not imply a sexual attraction to Nancy in front of him.
* CharacterDevelopment: John Redcorn started out as a double-barreled running gag: one about his affair with Nancy, the other about his mystical Indian side. As the show went along (especially after "Nancy's Boys") he became a fairly well-rounded character, with interests and hobbies (Indian rights, his musical career) outside of womanizing. Some of his later appearances don't even reference Nancy or Joseph.
* DreadfulMusician: When he tries to do hard rock with his band Big Mountain Fudgecake. However, in its focus episode, John Redcorn becomes a popular childrens' entertainer by playing acoustic and rewriting his lyrics.
* 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.
* 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.
* {{Hypocrite}}: 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 in to continue their affair. John Redcorn embarrassingly returns the artifact to Hank and tells him "just food for thought" and goes back into his house.
* InkSuitActor: It's rumored that he was modeled after Victor Aaron (the original voice actor who died before he can record any later episodes).
* 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 ended though, it's pretty clear that even though John Redcorn is the biological father, Joseph is ''Dale's'' son regardless, and saying anything now would just destroy both Joseph and Dale.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: In the first season, every time he spoke, a gust of wind would dramatically blow through his hair. [[ExaggeratedTrope Even when indoors]]. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Later]], it's shown that he's mostly [[ExploitedTrope taking advantage of this to pick up women]].
* MrFanservice: Both in and out of universe. He's one of the only attractive adult male characters.
* MistakenForGay: Dale thinks he's gay, which is part of why he never suspected that John Redcorn slept with Nancy. (The other reason is that he trusts Nancy and John Redcorn completely, and doesn't believe for a moment that his wife and friend would betray his trust.)
* OddFriendship: With Dale. After "Nancy's Boys" they're on good terms, though Redcorn's still annoyed by Dale's weirder actions.
* PetTheDog:
** While largely portrayed as unsympathetic during the first three seasons, he is one of the first people to try and stop [[spoiler:Leanne]] from assaulting Peggy in Season 2.
** While still having an (unrepentant) affair with another man's wife for over a decade, John Redcorn still tries to be something of a father to Joseph, and ultimately accepts it's better not to tell him the truth, since Dale (for all his flaws) is a better father.
** In "The Witches of East Arlen," he learns of Bobby's "warlock" friends making him drink dog blood for a ceremony. His first instinct is to drive over to Hank's place and help him find Bobby.
* ReallyGetsAround: Admits as much to Hank in Season 3. Nancy finds out about this in Season 12 and, [[spoiler:even though their affair has long been over]], doesn't take it well.
* UngratefulBastard: Defied. After Dale offers to help him get some of his tribe's land returned to him, he ends his affair with Nancy realizing that it would be awful way to repay a man he considers to be a friend.

Former Strickland Propane employee, now Buck's business opponent and mortal enemy. Voiced by Burt Reynolds, and then Toby Huss.
----
* BadassMustache: A classic horseshoe-style moustache to really tie the whole cowboy theme together.
* CorruptHick: Maybe even more than Buck.
* EvilCounterpart: He is Strickland's according to Hank, in reality they're NotSoDifferent. 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.
* 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.
* NiceHat: Never seen without his cowboy hat.
* NotSoDifferent: With his rival and former employer, Buck.
* TheRival: With Buck and, to a lesser extent, Hank.
* SayMyName: Hank will utter "Thatherton!" when he appears, narrowing his eyes at him angrily.

[[quoteright:192:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ted_1913.jpg]]

Wealthy Laotian businessman, and object of Kahn's borderline worship. Voiced by Mike Judge.
----
* TheAce: He's a rich, successful business owner.
* AffablyEvil: He's polite and charming, but he's always the main antagonist in his appearances. He might not be so bad if he wasn't such a greedy, self-centered jerk.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Although this could apply to his whole family.
* CatchPhrase "Super nice!"
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His and Cindy's dealings with Cozy Kitchen, which managed to track them down when they tried to hide on their private villa on an island.
* EvilCounterpart:
** His family seems to exist as one for Kahn, Minh, and Connie. The three of them are obviously more Americanized by contrasting their accents, and they're much more successful then Khan's family. Yet they seem to lack any actual morals. Chane is an egotistical spoiled wannabe whereas Connie is an intelligent PluckyGirl who wants to be a regular kid.
** Ted is also even more judgemental, snobby, and self-absorbed as Kahn, but hides it under an overly-polite facade whereas Khan is openly a jerk.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Once guilt-tripped Kahn into thinking he's betrayed his heritage, yet converted from Buddhism to Protestant Christianity because it's "good for business." He justifies his materialist lifestyle by telling Kahn, "I own all of these things, but they don't own me." Also in "Trans-fascism", he gets trans-fats banned from Arlen and then gladly patronizes the illegal food truck operated by Buck. When Hank asks about this, Ted smugly says that he has the discipline to handle it.
* KarmaHoudini: Ted usually gets out of any punishment any time he does something wrong, save for a moment in "Trans-fascism", when both he and Kahn are beaten up by Rooster's crew for going to the Sugarfoot's lunch truck.
* RailEnthusiast: Has a room with a model train layout in his house.
* StrawHypocrite: He does not live up to any of the standards he holds everybody else in the world to. He rarely gets called on it, but when he does, he always has an excuse ready.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Balding, skinny and not terribly attractive. Cindy, on the other hand, is definitely pretty.

[[folder:Chane Wassonasong]]
[[quoteright:177:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chane.jpg]]

Ted and Cindy's teenaged son, an overachieving, insufferable jerkass who enjoys tormenting Bobby and pursuing the decidedly uninterested Connie. Voiced by Pamela Adlon.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Connie, who considers him "a boring know-at-all who talks about himself and cheats at miniature golf." Not helped by Kahn and Minh constantly pushing Chane on her.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Connie is this for him. He (as well as Connie's parents) try to impress her with his achievements only for Connie to rebut that she's excelled better than Chane in the same fields. Examples being Khan telling Connie that Chane is a second chair oboe and won second place in the science fair. Connie reminds him that she's ''first'' chair violin and won ''first'' prize in that same science fair.
* TheBully: To Bobby.
* TheCasanova: He's very popular with the girls at school except for the one that he likes.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Generally portrayed as a rival to Bobby but they occasionally team up like when Bobby joined his track team or the quiz bowl team. It's made clear that he's not happy about it however.
* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Heavily implied thatthe main reason he has any interest in Connie is because she can't stand him.
* InsufferableGenius: He's actually a pretty smart guy, though he tends to overrate his intellectual abilities. Connie enjoys needling him about it.
--> '''Connie''': Why would a lama come back as a third oboe?
--> '''Chane''': ''Second'', Connie!
--> '''Connie''': ''Any'' woodwind!
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's even more self-centered than his father, probably because Ted and Kahn are around to enable his bad behavior.
* JerkJock: He's on the track team. That said, the only time he shows Bobby any respect is when the latter joins the team and the coach uses Bobby as a "stick" to motivate his teammates.
* KarmaHoudini: Like his dad, Chane generally gets away with his obnoxious behavior. [[TheDogBitesBack "Bobby Goes Nuts"]] being a noteworthy exception.
* NotGoodWithRejection: His typical response to Connie's rejection is mocking (or, in a few episodes, physically attacking) Bobby.
* TheRival: To Bobby.
* TokenMinorityCouple: Seeks to be this with Connie. Parodied in that a big factor in pushing this are Connie's parents, who are unashamedly racist and Chane is one of the only Laotians in Arlen that's Connie's age.

[[folder:Principal Carl Moss]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carl_moss.jpg]]

The world-weary principal of Tom Landry Middle School. Voiced by Dennis Burkley.
----
* TheAlcoholic: A functional alcoholic, but an alcoholic nonetheless.
* ApatheticTeacher: The Principal version. He's mostly trying to get by doing as little work as possible while swiping whatever bonus he could. He couldn't care less about the students' performance if he tried, unless it involves him nearly losing his job.
* CorruptHick: Downplayed; he's in the principal game for himself and avoids conflict at any cost, but he's more shady than immoral.
* DeadpanSnarker: Years in the education system will do that to you.
* DirtyCoward: Once fakes a heart attack to avoid casting the deciding vote at a PTA meeting.
* EvilCounterpart: Not evil per se, but a closer look shows him to be an inversion of Hank. Unlike him, Carl has a leading position for a job, is afraid to handle confrontations, and generally favors any sort of personal gain over ethic.
* FatSlob: When your personal habits gross out ''Bill''...
* HonestJohnsDealership: Many of Carl's ideas to raise money for the schools
* 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.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After years of cutting corners and doing the bare minimum, [[spoiler:he gets suspended after pretending his low scoring students are learning disabled to get the schools test scores up.]]
* NoodleIncident: Whenever confronted by Hank over something school related, he'll mention one. Like the time he wore a Coonskin Cap through all of seventh grade, or nearly got fired by the school board for growing a ponytail.
* TookALevelInJerkass: At first, Carl's just a hapless, beaten-down bureaucrat. Later on, he becomes more frequently associated with morally shady activities. Like placing students with middling grades in a remedial class to boost test scores ("No Bobby Left Behind"), or helping run a counterfeit clothing ring and selling the merchandise at school ("Bill Gathers Moss").
* UglyGuyHotWife: Somehow manages to hook up with a former Playmate in "Bill Gathers Moss."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Clark Peters]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_11497.jpg]]

A fat bully with a weird haircut, and seemingly perpetual stuffy nose. Voiced by Pamela Adlon.
----
* TheBully: Constantly picks on Bobby.
* CreepyChild: {{Implied}}. As his teacher remarked, "The Clark Peters I know likes to burn things."
* EvilCounterpart: Clark is pretty much a fatter, meaner version of Bobby.
* FatBastard: He's an overweight bully.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Dooley.
* VerbalTic: Has a weird, unattractive habit of deeply inhaling just before speaking.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Stuart Dooley]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stuart_dooley.jpg]]

The monosyllabic bad kid at Tom Landry Middle School. Voiced by Mike Judge.
----
* TheBully: The most consistent one, right next to Clark.
* CaptainObvious: His entire speech pattern consists of this.
* CreepyMonotone: He also has a very deep voice for a kid in middle school.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He mistook Joseph for being [[MistakenForGay gay]] for Bobby and simply said his alleged confession of love "took courage". He may be a bully and a jerkass but he's not homophobic.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Butt-head]], at least vocally.
* LastNameBasis: Most people call him by his last name, including his teachers.
* TheQuietOne: He never says more than one or two words at a time. When he's feeling particularly wordy, he'll offer the odd 4-word sentence.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Clark.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jimmy Whichard]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap_2013_08_02_02h42m55s227.jpg]]

A local whackjob. According to Dale, he fried his brain while staring at the sun once. Voiced by David Herman.
----
* BadBoss: Puts Bobby's life in danger by [[spoiler:trying to make him cross a racetrack ''during a car race'' to bring him a soda]].
* TheBully: Whoever has the misfortune of working for him better be prepared to deal with scut jobs and verbal abuse.
* CatchPhrase: "I Da Boss!"
* TheDitz: Even before the alleged sun incident. As Dale notes, he probably wasn't very smart to do that in the first place.
* EvilGloating: When an enraged Hank comes after him, Jimmy mocks him from behind the fence. Cue Hank ''kicking it open'', and giving Jimmy a LiteralAssKicking.
* FatIdiot: In the literal sense of the word "idiot" (an adult with the mental faculties of a child).
* HairTriggerTemper: The man will explode at damn near anything.
* JerkAss: The man has not a single redeeming quality about him.
* MadArtist: He makes beer can art.
* ManChild: He talks and acts just like an infant. It's implied that he actually is mentally handicapped.
* NoIndoorVoice: The man's indoor voice was apparently fried with his brains.
* TemptingFate: "Nyaa, you can't get me, you can't get me." Followed quickly by an OhCrap when Hank kicks the fence down.
* PerpetualFrowner: The rare times he does smile are...[[TheUnsmile not pleasant.]]
* PointyHairedBoss: The kids working under him at the racetrack despise him. And with good reason.
* RecurringExtra: Usually appears once or twice a season, but rarely gets much screen time.
* TooDumbToLive: He baked his brain staring at the sun, and made the serious error of putting Bobby in danger in front of his dad.

[[folder:Chris Sizemore]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chris_sizemore.jpg]]

Peggy's boss at Sizemore Realty. Voiced by Chris Elliot.
----
* AffablyEvil: He rarely drops that smarmy smile, but he's definitely not a nice man.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: On the surface he's a generous and respectable businessman. In reality he's a narcissistic, petty, vindictive old cheat.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Makes it ''very'' clear to Peggy that he's more important than any of his employees.
* ManipulativeBastard: His first episode involves getting Peggy fired from the ''Arlen Bystander'', apparently so that he can hire her as a real estate agent. This is one of many examples.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Octavio]]
[[quoteright:317:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koth_trees.jpg]]

Dale's friend, a vaguely criminal character who helps Dale with some of his shadier activities. Voiced first by DannyTrejo, then by Mike Judge, though modeled after Danny Trejo.
----
* BattleButler: For Dale, though he's really more of a freelancer that Dale hires exclusively.
* CoolOldGuy: Has a large tattoo of Music/RobZombie on his chest (as opposed to Danny Trejo's tattoo of a beautiful senorita).
* InkSuitActor: For Danny Trejo.
* VillainyFreeVillain: Deliberately invoked. He looks and acts like a tough criminal, but never does anything more serious than minor fraud (like making Hank smash his fender with a crowbar). In "Redcorn Gambles With His Future," he even seems shocked when he thinks Dale wants him to [[ItMakesSenseInContext kill a magician so John Redcorn can perform in his place]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Chuck Mangione]]
[[quoteright:251:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chuck_mangione_character.jpg]]

Spokesman for the Mega-Lo-Mart, frequently seen around Heimlich Country. Voiced by Chuck Mangione.
----
* AdamWesting: He evidently has anger management problems. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny He whacked the teacher upside the head with his fugelhorn just for spelling his name wrong.]]
* AsHimself: Started out as Mega-Lo-Mart's spokesman, before apparently relocating to Arlen permanently.
* BadassBeard: Much like the real thing, he's some pretty impressive facial hair.
* BerserkButton: Either spelling his name wrong or calling him a chick. Possibly the reason why he was [[NoodleIncident in an anger management class.]]
* NiceHat: His black fedora.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Buckley]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buckley_at_store_king_of_the_hill_10923612_720_480.jpg]]

Luanne's boyfriend and, much to Hank's displeasure, Hank's superior as department manager at Mega-Lo-Mart. Voiced by David Herman.
----
* TheArtifact: Remains in the opening credits ''long'' after [[spoiler:he dies.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:His spirit visits Luanne and helps her deal with her grief and get into community college to make up for being such a jerk to her in life.]]
* BastardBoyfriend: Was certainly emotionally abusive. He treated Luanne like crap through most of the relationship. His idea of a gift were [=CDs=] he didn't want anymore. When Luanne needed money, he was holding on to what he had so he could buy a trampoline. ''Another'' trampoline. Made even worse was because he had $100 more than what she was asking for.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Hey."
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:The sole casualty of the Mega-Lo-Mart explosion.]]
* TheDitz: It's vaguely implied that it's because he's getting high all of the time, but he's probably just an idiot.
* {{Jerkass}}: He treats Luanne like a nuisance and is crass and rude to everyone else.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Killed in an explosion after he refuses to listen to Hank's warnings about propane safety.]]
* LazyBum: He somehow became the assistant manager of Mega-Lo-Mart's propane department despite spending all of his time goofing off. When he actually does do some work, he botches it horribly and causes the whole Mega-Lo-Mart to explode.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:PJ Finster]]
A One Scene Wonder who appeared in later episodes of the show including "Uncool Customer," "Strangeness on a Train" and "Powder Puff Boys".
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: His daughter is clearly an adopted Asian and it is implied in "Strangeness on a Train" that he and Peggy's coworker are on a date. However, he also says "We decided to leave the wives at home tonight" and (jokingly?) makes passes at Peggy in "The Powderpuff Boys", rubbing her shoulders and making a joke about someone bringing a sleeping bag for multiple people at an activity. However when Peggy called out that a person should be gay openly, he seems genuinely interested to find out who this person is and unaware Peggy is referring to him.
* CampGay[=/=]CampStraight: His sexual orientation is a mystery, but his level of camp is anything but subtle.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anthony Page]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anthony_page.jpeg]]

A government employee originally from Los Angeles who has appeared as both a social worker and a legal advisor for civil rights cases. He has attempted to get Bobby taken away from Hank, falsely believing Hank to be an abusive father, and also enforce an ill-advised policy that would force Strickland Propane to accept drug addiction as a disability. He is probably the closest thing ''King of the Hill'' has to a recurring villain. Voiced by David Herman.
----
* {{Nerd}}: He fits the stereotype, being a pale, twiggy, bespectacled bookworm.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: He pretty much exists to make Hank's life difficult. The worst part is that he's not even good at his job(s); he just seems to like being a nuisance.
* SmugSnake: Anthony's condescending and invasive attitude has caused Hank to lose his temper with him on multiple occasions.
* UnwantedAssistance: He does seem mostly well-intentioned in wanting to help disadvantaged people, but he's unable to recognize whether those he's helping actually need (or want) his assistance. For instance, when Bobby gets a black eye from softball, he assumes Hank did it and never bothered to check with Bobby's coach.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Bob Jenkins]]
One of Peggy's coworkers at the ''Arlen Bystander'', a crusty, one-eyed veteran reporter with a sarcastic sense of humor. He appears a few times after Peggy leaves the ''Bystander''. Voiced by Henry Gibson.
----
* TheAlcoholic
* BiTheWay: In his first appearance, he mentions frequenting prostitutes and seems to be a womanizer. In "Strangers on a Train" though, it's hinted that he's dating CampGay PJ Finster.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sardonic comments are like a second language for him.
* EyepatchOfPower: He got it from brain tumor surgery.
* GallowsHumor: Jokes about losing his eye when the editor threw a story back in his face.
* IntrepidReporter: A subversion, as it's implied he steals most of his stories from coworkers.
* TheRival: To Peggy in a few episodes, namely "Smoking and the Bandit."
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He has a vocabulary Peggy can only dream of. Probably comes from years of inventing headlines.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Reverend Karen Stroup]]
[[quoteright:260:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/131897.jpg]]

The pastor of Arlen First Methodist Church, who is originally from St. Paul, Minnesota. Initially voiced by Creator/MaryTylerMoore, then voiced by Ashley Gardner for the rest of the series.
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Has a long-standing crush on Bill. They eventually date in "Passion of the Dautrieve," but [[ForegoneConclusion it doesn't work out]].
* AmericanAccents: Originally from Minnesota and has the thick midwestern accent to prove it.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Judging from her breakup with Bill:
-->'''Peggy:''' "I always pictured her as a crier, not a screamer."
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Has a tendency towards this.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Revenge of the Lutefisk" and "Passion of the Dautrieve" save her from RecurringExtra status.
* DeathGlare: Gives one to Bill after their breakup.
* FieryRedhead: Has curly, auburn hair and is a screamer.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Being a woman of God, it's pretty much part of her job. Even after Cotton's openly sexist statements about her and allegedly burning down the church (he admits it was an accident and was really taking the fall for Bobby), she forgives him and doesn't press charges.
* GlurgeAddict: Loves snow babies, [[MinorFlawMajorBreakup which irritates Bill]].
* GrandRomanticGesture: Gives up her job to date Bill, which backfires spectacularly.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Her sermons tend to vocalize problems she's having in her personal life.
* MinnesotaNice: Moved from Minnesota to Texas and is one of the few genuinely nice people in Arlen.
* MoralGuardians: A subversion. She openly discusses sexuality and relationships ("Luanne Virgin 2.0"), and even encourages Bobby's flirtation with Buddhism ("Won't You Pimai Neighbor?"). In other episodes, she adamantly denounces sexism ("Revenge of the Lutefisk") and Hank for his alleged racism ("Racist Dawg").
* SexyPriest: To Bill, at least.
* TotallyRadical: On a few occasions. See her cringe-worthy attempts to seem "with it" in "Reborn to Be Wild."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Officer Brown]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/officer_12_20.png]]

A recurring character in later seasons, an Arlen police officer noted for his laziness and corruption. Voiced by Fred Willard.
----
* DirtyCop: He openly takes bribes from Buck in "Trans-Fascism" and is mentioned as tampering with evidence is one episode.
* InkSuitActor: Looks like Fred Willard.
* JadedWashout: Says Principal Moss: "Officer Brown may be a disgraced cop who tampered with evidence, but this here used to be a man." Officer Brown doesn't disagree.
* KnightTemplar: He's eager to see "action," even when there's none to be had. He once tries to shoot Ladybird during a thunderstorm, after she's been reported as a dangerous dog). He's also a bit too enthusiastic in helping Bobby track down truant Clark Peters and Dooley, though in fairness he's been ReassignedToAntarctica and hasn't done real police work in awhile.
* PoliceAreUseless: When he's not corrupt he's this, responding lackadaisically to serious threats. "New Cowboy on the Block" takes this UpToEleven, as he's too impressed with Willie Lane's Super Bowl ring to stop him from harassing Hank and Co.
--> '''Hank:''' Why would I tip a car over on my own lawn!?!
--> '''Officer Brown:''' I don't know... it puzzles me.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: In one episode he's demoted to policing Tom Landry Middle School.
