* Hypocrite: Peggy was utterly incised when she learned that Hank hid the fact as a teenager he was kissed by another woman (which incidently lead to him contracting Mono), simply because it invalidated their "story" of being each other's "first romance". Several seasons later, Peggy reveals to Luanne that yet another story, that she and Hank had never had sex prior to their marriage (at her own insistence) was also a lie, as she secretly had sex with a closeted friend of hers to discern wether or not he was truly gay. Due to plot-related drama, Luanne reveals Peggy's secret to Hank, with Peggy attempting to act as if it was nothing to be upset over, in complete contrast to how she behaved when she had learn Hank had been forcibly kissed by another woman.

* {{Retcon}}: A jarring example. Originally Hoyt was a male version of Peggy who ran away and joined an oil rig to get away from [[DomesticAbuse Leanne]] and wouldn't return until her death certificate was faxed to him. When he finally makes his appearance, he is shown to be a convict on his last strike and that the "oil rig" story was a lie, and he'd been gone for most of Luanne's life (originally, she was an adult still acknowledging just having seen him). He's such a manipulative bastard he would've even thrown his own daughter under a bus if it meant him avoiding jail.

Originally Hoyt was a male version of Peggy who ran away and joined an oil rig to get away from [[DomesticAbuse Leanne]] and wouldn't return until her death certificate was faxed to him. Offhanded dialogue from Luanne-centered episodes supports this as being the genuine case, usually phone conversations involving him but are depicted without cutaways to avoid showing him.

** "Next of Shin" also. He actually feels sorry for Hank being unable to get Peggy pregnant, to the point where he's willing to let Hank and Peggy raise Didi's child (though that part's certainly unfair to Didi). He also has a rare heart-to-heart talk with his son towards the end of the episode.

* OnlySaneWoman:
** {{ZigZagged| Trope}}. Although she occasionally does have to let Hank know when he's being a jerkass, for the most part he's nicer, more competent and more practical than she is, and regularly has to rescue her from the results of her own [[ZanyScheme zany schemes]]. However, there have been times where Peggy is able to function in a situation a lot easier than Hank does, either due to his willing inability to deal with emotions or because it's some cultural event that clashes with Hank's "old days" mind set.
** The best example of this played straight is when Peggy learns that Hank has paid sticker price for every car he's bought for the past twenty-five years. For years, Hank was led to believe he was being offered "special deals" on the cars until Peggy got involved in buying a new car and watched Hank pay full price on a car she was going to pay $2,500 less on.
