Boys Do Cry - S5-E15

Factual error: When Brian fires his pistol in the air, eventually killing the Super Devil, we hear six gunshots, each followed the distinct clink of the ejected cartridge hitting the ground. Trouble is, Brian is firing a revolver, which does not eject the cartridge after the bullet is fired. Only automatics do that.

Airport '07 - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Peter is backing up and sees the airplane fuel there is a tank near the ladder and the hose is hooked up to it but when Peter walks up to it to plug it into the truck the tanker is way farther away.

Meet The Quagmires - S5-E18

Other mistake: Peter goes back in time and sees Lois at age 18. Death says everyone will see Peter as being 18 too. Problem: Lois and Peter aren't the same age. In later episodes, Lois reveals she's 2 years older than Peter so Peter should be 16 when he meets Lois.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: When Peter, Quagmire and Cleveland become cops because Joe trains them and they are all at Peter's, Joe has binoculars and is looking across the street and saying he is watching his wife Bonnie in her house. In just about every episode it is stated that Joe and Bonnie's house is right next to Peter's. So why is he looking across the street when their house is next to Peter's? (00:17:50)

Stewie Loves Lois - S5-E1

Audio problem: When Peter is telling the guys about the doctor visit, he starts crying and knocks his beer glass off the table. It makes the sound of glass shattering, but the glass on the floor isn't broken at all.

No Chris Left Behind - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When the family goes to Morning Wood Academy, the sign in the front says No Irish and Irish OK underneath that. The next time we see the sign, those words are replaced with the date the academy was founded.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Audio problem: Just after Peter graduates from the Police Academy, he goes home to Lois and draws his gun in the kitchen, which gets Lois very excited. Every time Peter fires his revolver, you'll hear a soft, but distinctive clink briefly after each shot. This clink comes from shell casings hitting the floor, which revolvers make impossible. Revolvers are designed to eject expended shell casings only while its user is reloading, not after each shot is fired. Only semiautomatic firearms immediately eject expended cartridges immediately after having been fired. Unless I'm mistaken, the entire gunshot sound originally came from a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.

No Chris Left Behind - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode Chris is taking his suitcase upstairs. He walks in front the couch where everyone is sitting and heads towards the stairs. Next shot shows him walking behind the couch as if he entered the front door and walked behind the couch and over to the stairs.

Peter's Two Dads - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: After Peter says goodbye to his family before his flight to Ireland, when it cuts to Stewie spying on Lois while she's doing the dishes, there's a calendar hanging on the wall beside the refrigerator and a paper hanging on the fridge, but when Stewie draws on the wall both the calendar and paper have vanished.

Super Grover

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.

Answer: Mort is Jewish, and Walt Disney was said to be antisemitic. So it would make sense in a Disney universe all the inhabitants would share his supposed beliefs.
