Back to the Pilot - S10-E5

Character mistake: After Stewie and Brian go to tell the past versions of themselves not to tell 1999 Brian about 9/11, Stewie then finds out that Brian then told 1999 Brian to write the Harry Potter novels. This would have been impossible because the first Harry Potter novel was published in 1997, 2 years before the time period Stewie and Brian arrive in. (00:16:35)

Casual Person

Thanksgiving - S10-E6

Continuity mistake: Kevin takes his jacket off at the dinner table. His shirt says Ed Hardy. The name wasn't on the shirt until he took his jacket off and it disappears again when he puts the jacket back on.

The Blind Side - S10-E11

Continuity mistake: When we first see Kate and her parents at the restaurant there are only 2 empty chairs. Stewie then sits in the chair next to Kate. After Kate's parents ask what happened, we see a chair in between Stewie and Kate, but you can also see the edge of third empty chair. A plate and the wine filled glass also move.

Other mistake: When the family gets to the top of the mountain Brian goes left off-screen to pee. Lois says "we proved we aren't second best." Wideshot shows the Fishmans sitting there. They would've all seen them when they got there, yet they are shocked when Ross says "Well look who finally got here." And they are only inches apart.

Into Fat Air - S11-E1

Factual error: There's no way for the Griffins to climb clear to the top of Mt Everest. It takes months to prepare for that and oxygen tanks. This episode is one whole factual error. That and it costs 30 grand or more per person.

Lois: Hello?
Peter: I can't take the trash out today, I'm working late at the office.
Lois: The caller ID says you're calling from the kitchen. In fact I can see you.
Peter: [Edging sideways.] OK, can you see me now?
Lois: No.
Peter: Now I am at the office.

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.
