Episode Summary

When Hank asks Peggy to design an art piece for Strickland Propane, she creates the "Probot", a statue made out of propane tanks. Her sculpture is rejected by the city board, but picked up by an art dealer from Dallas. Unfortunately, Peggy finds out that the dealer presents her to the public as an uneducated hillbilly. Meanwhile, Dale starts wearing a suit of armor and uses his new found invincibility to insult people without consequences.

Allusions

  • Don Quixote's Authentic Spanish Cuisine and Karaoke

    The restaurant Dale buys his suit of armor from is named after the main character in the famous novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. The story follows a man, Alonso Quixano, who becomes convinced he is a knight named Don Quixote and begins a quest for adventure - at one point, he attacks windmills he imagines are giants. []
  • Peggy: Stupid da Vinci with his stupid classical training.

    Leonardo da Vinci is probably best-known for painting the "Mona Lisa." He was a prolific Renaissance artist and inventor. []
  • Title: Ceci N'est Pas Une King of the Hill
    The title is a reference to a painting by the French artist Rene Magritte. He drew a picture of a pipe with the caption "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe" (This is not a pipe), to raise issues about the nature of representation in art. The use of that phrase in the title is just part of the "art" theme of the episode. []
