* SeriousBusiness: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] In episode Snow Job Buck went on how Propane is God gas only for Hank to discover Buck use electric stove in his home. Buck did not see what the deal was and told Hank it just a business, it about making as much money as you can while you can. However it implied in the past he originally had the same passion for Propane as Hank before his vices caught up with him.
* StupidBoss: Hank is pretty much the [[OnlySaneEmployee only reason]] why his company is still running. Buck is thoroughly aware of this, however, and more than a few episodes involve him pushing Hank to edge with his antics only to realize he is about to kill his "Golden Goose" (as he referred to Hank in one episode) and immediately start taking steps to get back in Hank's favor. The fact that Buck makes an effort to get Hank to forgive him is probably why Hank idolizes him despite having many similarities with Cotton.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To [[spoiler:Hank]], although it ping pongs back and forth between her being genuinely attracted to him and her just trying to get on his good side for pragmatic reasons.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While sleeping with a married man is a sure sign of anyone being scum, her appearance might make many dismiss her as just a clueless bimbo. Then in "Hanky Panky", she shows that she is NotGoodWithRejection, to the point of [[spoiler:attempted homicide]].
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Accidentally shoots herself while trying to climb into a dumpster.]]

* DumbBlonde: Let's just say she clearly knew nothing about gun safety.

* TheMistress: It's pretty much her entire character until her last appearance.

** She goes completely apeshit when Hank rejects her advances in "Hanky Panky", even threatening to tell Peggy that they did have sex even though they didn't.

** She also planned to [[spoiler:kill the Stricklands]] after they got back together, and might have done the same to Hank and Peggy as well.
* SelfDisposingVillain: [[spoiler:Accidentally shot herself, which simultaneously solved the problems she was causing Hank and Buck.]]

* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:Invoked completely by accident. Her unintentionally shooting herself created problems for all three of her personal enemies, Hank, Buck, and Miz Liz, due to them becoming the prime suspects.]]
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:She accidentally killed herself by putting Buck's loaded shotgun, which didn't have the safety on, in the dumpster first and stepping on the trigger. This was all because she didn't think to set down her nachos first]].

* TwoFirstNames: Both his first and last name can be used for the given name of a man.

* TrueCompanions: It's ''mostly'' one sided, but Enrique considers Hank to be his best friend and he asks him to speak at his daughter's quinceanera. Hank would prefer a professional relationship with him, and is reluctant to speak at the quinceanera. Eventually, Hank grows to be good friends with Enrique and his daughter, and even saves him from being forced to move, due to Peggy's selling homes in Enrique's neighborhood to hipsters forcing the rents sky-high.

* BrokenPedestal: Averted, as no matter what he does (especially if it would get him arrested), Hank continues to idolize him. That's not to say that he's oblivious to his boss' shortcomings; in one episode, Hank tells Bobby that he's put out his first "Strickland fire", adding, "A couple hundred more and you'll have caught up with me." There's also the episode where Hank slows down his truck enough to allow a member of a gang of toughs to take a swing at Buck.

* NotGoodWithRejection: She goes completely apeshit when Hank rejects her advances in "Hanky Panky", even threatening to tell Peggy that they did have sex even though they didn't.

* KarmaHoudini: The worst offender of this was when he tried to pin [[spoiler:Debbie's]] murder on Hank by planting fake evidence against the latter when he wasn't looking only to diverge the attention on his wife. However, when it's found out Hank nor Buck's wife murdered anybody, Hank doesn't call him out on it.

* MrsRobinson: Tries to seduce Hank in revenge for Buck cheating on her with Debbie.

* EightiesHair: Has a large mane of red hair like [[Series/MarriedWithChildren Peg Bundy]]

* PetTheDog: After he and his long-lost son drives Hank [[DrowningMySorrows to drink himself stupid]] (and ruining his induction), not only does he sets up the committee to blackmail them in order to save Hank's career, but also gets ''Hank'' inducted into the "Hall of Flame."

* EasilyForgiven: to the point that he can frame Hank for murder and Hank lets it go immediately.

* KavorkaMan: He's old, bald, fat, and a general scumbag. But he pulls in an astounding amount of tail. Though as Buck himself explains: "I'm not much to look at, but I've got a lot of money!"

* OneShotCharacter: It is never explained what became of her after "Ho, Yeah", though she was memorable enough to get a background cameo in the SeriesFauxnale "Lucky's Wedding Suit".

A coworker of Hank's, the driver of one of Strickland's propane delivery trucks, known as a "Bobtail".

* TheAlcoholic: He's got a bit of a drinking problem, usually when he gets stressed.
* CatchPhrase: Calling anyone he talks to "Honey" regardless of gender or their relationship with him. Could also be a VerbalTic.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In one episode, Buck makes the Strickland employees stay at the office overnight as a team-building exercise. While no one's exactly thrilled with the idea, Joe Jack suggests ''murdering'' Buck in all evident seriousness.
* NoodleIncident: Was kicked off the Zephyr softball team for doing something unspeakable at the Taco Bueno.
* TwoFirstNames: Both his first and last name can be used for the given name of a man.

Eloy Casadoes (1997-1998)\\
Creator/DannyTrejo (2003-2009)

Hank's Mexican-American coworker. Usually a background character, but gets a few [[ADayInTheLimelight focus episodes]] in later seasons.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Not as bad as Bill, but he likes Hank a ''lot'' more than vice versa.
* AnnoyingLaugh: That sounds halfway between a laugh and a cough.
* AscendedExtra: Started off as a random bobtail driver. Eventually, he became a regularly appearing employee.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In earlier seasons Enrique had a more introverted personality in later seasons he's more extroverted, and social.
* FunPersonified: He lives for the good times, spending most of his cash on parties (and funerals). Because of this he has no savings as he blows through his paychecks.
* NegativeContinuity: In "Enrique-cilable Differences", Enrique has a rocky marriage, and his children are implied to have grown up and moved out. In "Lady and Gentrification," he has a loving relationship with his wife and a 15 year old daughter who is seemingly his only child, while his relationship with his wife can easily be explained as them working out their problems off screen, that still doesn't explain his daughter.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: "Enrique-cilable Differences."
* TrueCompanions: It's ''mostly'' one sided, but Enrique considers Hank to be his best friend and he asks him to speak at his daughter's quinceanera. Hank would prefer a professional relationship with him, and is reluctant to speak at the quinceanera. Eventually, Hank grows to be good friends with Enrique and his daughter, and even saves him from being forced to move, due to Peggy's selling homes in Enrique's neighborhood to hipsters forcing the rents sky-high.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Lampshaded in that he's always told his wife how beautiful she is yet he never gets this feedback.
