* ThemeParkVersion: Holloway believes Texas is (or should be) this. Thinking the place is full of oil rigs, rattlers, and cowboys and assumes everyone wears ten gallon hats, cowboy boots, and six-shooters. Hank lampshades this, telling Holloway that Texas has changed a lot since the 1800s.
* WomenAreWiser: While Hank has a hard time dealing with Mr. Holloway, Peggy and Mrs. Holloway actually hit it off really well, or at least till Holloway had [[LethalChef Peggy's Frito pie...]]

* TallTale: Hank tells Holloway come to win him over, such as saying he had an Uncle Fess that lost his cowboy boots in a tornado and claimed to give him his boots to be buried in, which impresses Holloway. He also makes a claim that he doesn't wear a cowboy hat because he made a vow to Lady Bird Johnson, but Holloway doesn't have it since he blames [[UsefulNotes/LyndonJohnson LBJ]] for killing [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy JFK]]. He also claimed he bought Peggy's freedom from the Commanches with his rodeo winnings and he was in a Mexican P.O.W. camp, which Bobby brings up in the Sunday School speech on why Hank was the man he admired most, much to his embarrassment.

* BrokenPedestal: Seems to happen with Bobby briefly due to Hank degrading himself to win over Holloway, instead opting to do his speech on Colonel Sanders. But after Hank decided to eschew Holloway, Bobby goes through with his originally planned speech.

* MegaMealChallenge: Mr. Holloway decided to have a 72 ounce steak, which of course is presented as this, but due to him eating some things from the all-you-can eat buffet, after one small bite, he's done, which pisses off everyone watching.

* SpecialGuest: Creator/BurtReynolds as Thatherton and Creator/BillyWest as Mr. Holloway.

* RantInducingSlight: Putting up with Holloway's crap throughout the episode, Hank rips into him after buying him a mint julep and criticizing it:
---> '''Hank:''' Mister, I'll tell you what. I don't want your business. Not this way. You wanna go with Thatherton? Go! But one of these days when your propane mixture's only 89% and you have a smelly condo development full of crying babies whose bottles haven't been properly heated, you give me a call. My name is Hank Hill. And I sell propane and propane accessories, with honor and dignity!

* LethalChef: Peggy, as far as Mrs. Holloway is concerned after eating her Frito pie, though Bobby and Luanne don't seem to get sick from it. It may've just been Mrs. Holloway's not used to such foods.

* MistakenForServant: Hank has Peggy wear a cowgirl dress instead of a pantsuit she intended to wear. The problem is when they all go to the restaurant, the waitresses there where the exact same dress Peggy has on and even tell her to get to work.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: Why Hank is reluctant to wear cowboy boots, because of his fat toes and the tightness of them causes him to have toe cramps.

* LethalChef: Peggy, as far as Mrs. Holloway is concerned after eating her Frito pie, though Bobby and Luanne don't seem to get sick from it.

* BarBrawl: Happens at the end after Hank tells off Holloway, where he wants to fight him. Hank isn't having it but Thaterton is more than happy to oblige, which cause everyone there to start throwing punches [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere while Hank quickly high-tails it out of there.]]

When a Bostonian comes to town looking for a propane dealer, Hank goes through great lengths just to win him over.

This episode was produced during season 1, but didn't end up airing until season 2. It's included on the Season 1 DVD set.

* {{Jerkass}}: Mr. Holloway is immature and obnoxious, thinks Texans are all gun-toting cowboys and just brushes off Hank for irrelevant things when he tries to discuss propane.

* {{Flashback}}: We go back eight years earlier, with Thatherton working at Strickland Propane, while discussing sales quotas. We get glimpse of Thatherton's seediness by suggestion giving propane to old people and telling them it's oxygen before revealing he's formed Thatherton Fuels and stating he took three of Strickland's top clients.
