Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV / Doing Time - S3-E1
Corrected entry: Spongebob turns the "M" on Mermaid Man's belt upside down to "W" to set it to "Wombo" to re-size Squidward. A few moments later in the same scene, it is an "M" again, without him ever touching it.
Corrected entry: As Elizabeth falls into the sea, Jack is talking to the two military guards, obviously just finishing a fascinating story, with "...and they made me their chief." This is one of the (discernible) lines spoken by the permanently drunk and incoherent Rowley Birkin QC, Johnny Depp's (Jack) favorite character from "The Fast Show" (1994).
Correction: The line "and they made me their chief" is a line from a monologue by Patrick "Which Was Nice" Nice, not Rowley Birkin. Depp's favourite characters - with whom he appeared - on The Fast Show were the Suits You tailors, not Rowley Birkin. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/fastshow/characters/.

Corrected entry: At various points Homer says things which imply that he has very little problem with anybody being gay (e.g., his misunderstanding with Mr. Burns in "Last Exit to Springfield") but in this episode we are told he is homophobic.

Corrected entry: I know Percy's not that bright, but he adds "Cardinal Wolsey" to the list of party guests. Given that Wolsey died in 1530, and Queen Elizabeth ruled from 1558 onwards (she wasn't even born until 1533), he must have been dead for at least 28 years by this point (even in the Blackadder world of history). Obviously it's done for the joke, but it's still wrong.
Correction: A self-correcting mistake. Percy is an idiot. He said the first name that came into his head without stopping to realise Wolsey is dead.

Corrected entry: This is rather nasty, but look in the background, rather than at the characters, when Clayton has just fallen to his death. The lightning flash briefly illuminates the shadow of Clayton hanging, against the scenery.
Correction: This is completely intentional. It is meant for people to notice, so they can know what happened to Clayton.

Corrected entry: Marge is reminding Lisa of the differences between the UK and the USA before she goes to visit Hugh's family in England. Obviously the steak-and-kidney pie remark is a joke, but she says, "Remember, a mile is called a kilometer..." No it isn't. The metric system is used in mainland Europe - miles over here are still miles.
Correction: This is clearly a mistake on Marge's part, as she is unfamiliar with European life and makes things up based on expressions she vaguely remember hearing about. And isn't it possible, since this episode takes place in the future, that the UK has joined the rest of Europe and switched to the metric system?

Corrected entry: In the pilot episode, the MASH unit holds the raffle to send Ho Jon to medical school. In the rest of the series, Ho Jon is still at the MASH unit.
Correction: According to IMDb character Ho Jon last appeared in "Ceasefire" aired 3/18/1973 in the second to the last episode of the first season. This would make sense for him to attend classes the following Fall term as in incoming freshman.

The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5
Corrected entry: In this episode, Ross reclaims their washing machine after the Horrible Woman cons Rachel out of it, and Rachel tells him it's brilliant because she "can't even send back soup". But in The One With The Flashback - set before this - Rachel sends back a whole round of drinks.
Correction: When she sends back a round of drinks in the flashback episode, she is a secure, wealthy, engaged woman surrounded by her country-club friends. She might have been more secure to point out other peoples' mistakes as the wealthy, engaged Rach but in TOW the east laundry detergent, she is not wealthy OR engaged and she is constantly guffing up coffee orders. She may be more insecure now.

The Springfield Files - S8-E10
Corrected entry: The mysterious figure in the background of the lie-detector scene is the Cigarette-Smoking Man, the arch-nemesis of the two FBI agents from The X-Files.
Correction: Bit too obvious to be trivia.
28th Jun 2004
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, Mushu refers to Mulan's horse as a cow, but when their fireworks are going off and Mulan detaches it from her cart, Mushu says, "Oh, sure, save the horse."
Correction: Just because he likes to kid her about it being a cow, doesn't mean he can't ever call it a horse.

Correction: It's Patrick who turns the belt's M upside-down into a W. Then after SpongeBob activates it, while Patrick is shrinking down to Squidward's size, it really cannot be claimed, "it is an "M" again, without him ever touching it" because SpongeBob is offscreen during this time, so he actually does have the opportunity to simply turn it back to the M.
