Stewie Kills Lois (1) - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: Stewie puts the gun and pictures in a bag and throws them in the trash can to get rid of the evidence. When Joe takes the lid off, he just reaches in like Stewie had put them in there separately and not in a bag.

Padre de Familia - S6-E7

Factual error: If one of a person's parents is an American citizen, that person has citizenship no matter where they are born. Since Thelma was a U.S. citizen, that makes Peter a citizen of the U.S. Also, were there no tax records for Peter since he had been married to Lois?

Peter's Daughter - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: Meg comes in the kitchen and Peter pulls out her chair for her. Next shot of Meg shows a plate of food appear out of nowhere. Peter, Lois and Chris had a plate in front of them and there was no plate in front of Meg at any time. There was no other food in sight on the counter or stove either. (00:15:00)

McStroke - S6-E9

Plot hole: Brian bets Stewie about being at high school for a week. However, this was before Peter's stroke, and before the fire at McBurgertown. It would take at least a few weeks for McBurgertown was rebuilt, then Peter had his stroke, and then Lois tells Chris Peter's stroke was 3 months ago. After this scene, Stewie tells Brian he has lost the bet. However, the bet would only last one week.

McStroke - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: After Peter has a stroke, later on he asks Lois for a beer. She gets it from the fridge and gives it to him without opening it yet he immediately takes a drink and spills it on his shirt.

Long John Peter - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: When we first see the English guy in his car, his crates of goods are stacked askew in the back seat. After Peter's crew shoot the car several times and the car is half-wrecked, the boxes are suddenly neatly packed into the seats. Moments later, we see the boxes piled randomly again. This change happens a couple more times before the scene is over.

Long John Peter - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: The English guy's car is full of crates when we first see it and when his roof is blown off but after Peter and a crewman have boarded, there are suddenly barrels in the car too.

I Dream of Jesus - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: As Peter makes a comment on Jesus' joke, the screen goes into a closeup between the two of them. The potatoes on their plates change from a sandy yellow to white and the next time their plates are in view, the potatoes are back to their original colour. (00:11:33)

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein - S3-E22

Peter Griffin: You better watch who you're calling a child Lois. Because if I'm a child then you know what that makes you? A paedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert.

Business Guy - S8-E9

Question: In the episode, Peter threatens to fire Lois, and she responds with "you wouldn't" and Peter then replies with "Oh really, does the name Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?" which in turn makes Lois go wide eyed and reply with "OK, I'll behave" and Peter then goes on to add "Yes you will" Can anyone explain this joke if it is a joke to comprehend?

Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
