I'm sure he must have mentioned where he works once, maybe twice...

So, the article this is pulling from is a 2003 academic paper on class, race, and gender representation in American sitcoms. It's not an LLM produced bit of of insanity, nor is it someone who has never watched the show saying something unknowingly unintelligible.
It's a joke. Some dry humour, possibly put in there to see if peer reviewers had any idea about the then current television sitcom landscape.
My favorite line from that show is from the episode with the Christian rock group when Hank says "you're not making Christianity any better, you're just making rock n roll worse"
- That's pretty funny.
  
  King of the Hill is pretty funny.
They're standing in front of a charcoal grill so I assume he sells charcoal and charcoal accessories. Taste the heat, not the meat .
- I'm going to be rewatching the charcoal episode tonight I think.
  I miss this show so much. Glad it's coming back.
  
  My boy has soot under his nails!
- Dang it, Bobby!
I've never seen a single episode and I know he does something with propane and grilling.
- He sells propane and propane accessories. Yup.
  
  Mm-hmm.
That boy ain’t right
- Propane and propane accessories intensifies!
  
  BWAAAAAAH!
- I wouldn't give it the credit of calling it a LLM. With sentences that incoherent, it's more of a backpropagating Markov chain.
I never watched a single episode of this series yet I got acquainted with Hank Hills catchiest phrases through the Starcraft Terran Firebats.
- Same. Maybe I should watch it.
He sells propane and propane accessories for Stricklan propane in Arlan Texas. Everybody knows that!
- Arlen. With an “e”. I’ve heard from multiple sources that it’s taken after “Garland TX” though, so it’s an easy mistake to make.
  
  The city King of the Hill's Arlen is based on is Richardson Texas, which is the next city over from Garland. It's close enough it's an easy mistake, and probably not a coincidence.
  
  It's from Harlottown
It's like not knowing what Bob Vance does.
- Bob Vance? Of Vance Refrigeration?
- So what line of work are you in, Bob?
Yeah I don't think they've ever once mentioned what he does for work, I always assumed he was a plumber.
Hopefully the new seasons he will tell us what he does.
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world What's the occupation of the character Hank from the show King Of The Hill?
- Hank from the show "King Of The Hill" is a propane salesman. He works for Strickland Propane as an assistant manager.
  
  Good bot.
That title is gore.
- That was the least hardest I've known what a title is saying
This is an AI generated article
- I would hope so, to think otherwise brings me despair for our species
It might be an AI generated article making stuff up.
PROPANE AND PROPANE ACCESSORIES
What, and what accessories, do I sell?
- ..Tractors?
