Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: The morning after the dog show, Peter and Chris are watching the news in the kitchen. Peter has a plate in front of him with two eggs and bacon on it. It is turned so that it makes almost a smiley face with the bacon towards his arm and the eggs crooked to the side. In the next shot from a different angle showing Lois in the kitchen, the plate rotates so now the egg and bacon smile is directly facing Peter. (00:10:27)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As the cop is telling Peter that leash laws are for Brian's own good, he points his pen at Peter with one hand, holding his clipboard in the other.

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the dog show, the next establishing shot is the family car driving down the road past a fence, a blue building, and a pink building. Immediately after, the shot cuts to inside the car and suddenly the fence is gone, and the blue building has turned yellow with other buildings changing or appearing. (00:07:57)

Continuity mistake: At the dog show, Stewie starts to try to get out of his stroller before asking Meg to push him into a lake. The person on the right of the screen as he's struggling is only seen from the calves down, and is wearing blue pants and black shoes. After Meg gets up and says she'll find him a juice box, the people behind Stewie do not match up with this at all. And then in the next close up of him, there are identical legs in the same position as before, but now with black pants and white shoes. (00:06:42)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Lois gives Brian a new collar for the show, he turns to thank her and in the reflection of the mirror, we see there is a cabinet and the shower curtain on the right side of the room. Then after she leaves the room and he puts eye drops in, the reflection is shown again and suddenly the cabinet and shower are on the left side of the room. (00:05:32)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Peter said he tried to go on a game show, it cuts away to a scene of Jeopardy with the man at the stand holding a card. When it cuts to a close up of the man, the position of his fingers shift downward on the card, and his wrist is turned down. (00:04:14)

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.
