* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Kahn makes Connie's sleepover guests sign a waiver, strictly enforcing a 9 p.m. curfew -- specifically forbidding giggling, music, pillow fights, or any form of entertainment like TV or even non-electronic games -- and ''making the guests pay for their breakfast the next morning.'' Then he ruins Bobby's dance, which was literally the only thing the only thing the girls were enjoying about the night, and pathetically fawns over Chane for "saving" the day by bullying Bobby. It's no wonder why none of the other girls are ever seen hanging out with Connie after this.

* FemaleGroinInvincibility: Bobby kicks Peggy in the crotch, which does nothing to her. But in real life, women have reproductive organs inside the area and with nerve endings too. And a hard enough kick in the area can hurt all the same as if it happened to a male. Bobby supposedly didn't have enough kicking power for Peggy, though Kahn claims she's bluffing. [[DownplayedTrope After Bobby's ego is deflated and he goes inside, she is seen hobbling after him, implying that she did take the hit.]]

* WhamEpisode: This marks an important episode in the development of Bobby as a character, as after 13 years of having repressed his anger against his father, he lashes out at him in great force, and openly rebels against his strict disciplinarian ways. In this episode, Bobby Hill truly becomes an angst-filled teenager. The episode even ends with Hank and Bobby's relationship not fully mended, and at an all-time low point, which is the point of this episode in the first place. If King of the Hill was a feature film, this would be the end-of-Act-2 misunderstanding moment, or the lowest point of the main character arc.

to:

* MundaneUtility: With Hank laid up on the couch, Bobby approaches with a large carton of ice cream, as well as an apology. Hank rejects the apology, but takes the ice cream... so he can ice his groin with it, handing Bobby back an older, meltier carton.

* PowerPerversionPotential: Joseph steals Dale's thermal goggles so he can ogle the girls' slumber party... or at least their body heat. [[GoneHorriblyRight He ends up drooling over Bobby, who'd taken his shirt off and started dancing]].
* ScreamingWarrior: The women's self-defense class encourages yelling at the top of your lungs before striking back, both to draw attention to the attack and to psyche up the defender. Bobby starts punctuating every kick with the aforementioned BattleCry.

After Chane (literally) forces Bobby to eat dirt, Hank decides to teach him self-defense. Bobby ends up taking a woman's self-defense course, where he learns to defend himself by kicking guys in the groin, which he starts using to deal with other threats. Hank tries to teach Bobby boxing, only for Bobby to kick him in the groin.
