I Dream of Jesus - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When Jesus first sits down and starts talking to Jay Leno, there's a coffee cup on his desk with the handle facing to the right. After Jesus says he's been playing Call of Duty, the cup has moved closer to Jesus with the handle facing to the left even though no one touched it.

Baby Not On Board - S7-E4

Plot hole: Stewie gets out of the car seat and goes back to bed, leaving the blanket at the bottom of the seat. When they get to New York, Lois goes to get him out and realises he's gone. But when they started the trip the blanket was covering the entire seat to make it look like Stewie was still in it. So who ever "covered" him up knew he wasn't in the seat before they set off.

Fat Guy Strangler - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Peter walks away from Brian with the hula hoop around his waist, he runs into the stereo, knocking a vase of flowers on the floor, shattering the vase. Next shot shows the mess cleaned up without anyone even cleaning it. (00:04:45)

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.

E. Peterbus Unum - S2-E18

Super Grover

Into Fat Air - S11-E1

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.

Fecal Matters - S19-E10

Continuity mistake: When Meg, as X-Men's Quicksilver, starts to spite her whole family at the speed of light at the beginning of the episode - just after Chris sneezed in front of everybody - she initially throws his hat away from him, but in the next shot when she gets back on her seat, Chris' hat returns resting to his head.

Space Cadet - S11-E9

Revealing mistake: When Chris is giving them a tour of the shuttle, they are standing up normal. When they take off, they are still standing straight up. The shuttle goes straight up. You would be on your back at take off. They would never be able to stand straight up.

Trans-Fat - S17-E13

Continuity mistake: When Joe eats ice-cream on a mini batting helmet during the football match, some ice-cream is visible fallen on the ground just before the drink seller comes. In the next shot it disappears. (00:02:40 - 00:03:01)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: While everyone is in the secret room Peter finds a blue book on the desk and picks it up to read. Peter's holding this book in his hands when he asks Consuela what happened, and just as Consuela tells him about her nephew, we see another blue book on the desk beside Peter. There should be only one blue book - the one in Peter's hands. (00:20:40)

Super Grover

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?

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.
