Quotes

Michael: They're going to keep Dad in jail until this whole thing gets sorted out. [Silence] Also, I've been told that the company's expense accounts have been frozen. [Gasps] Interesting. I would have expected that after "they're keeping Dad in jail".

When Lindsay has just returned home and is placing the flowers she has bought into a vase, we see her remove the flowers from the shopping bag and place them on the kitchen worktop. A few shots later, the flowers have moved back into the bag and we see Lindsay remove them again. See more...

Trivia

In season three, the woman whom Michael thinks is his sister Nellie is played by Jason Bateman's real-life sister Justine. Likely a reference to the sitcom Justine co-starred on in the 1980s, she appears in the episode "Family Ties". See more...

Season: Whole show  1  2  All

Across whole show

In the first episode of the third season, "The Cabin Show," Steve Holt meets GOB and doesn't recognize him. However, at the end of the season two episode "The Immaculate Election," he is shown a picture of GOB and told that he (GOB) is his father. [It's well established that Steve Holt isn't very smart.]
Edit
In season 3 episode 5, when everyone is in the conference room talking about who might been a spy there is a boom mic visible at the top of the screen. [Completely intentional as part of the joke. The conversation in the boardroom includes a discussion about whether or not the room is bugged and if people could be listening, at which point there is silence and a boom mic is seen in shot. It is not a mistake within the show due to the documentary-esque fashion it is filmed in, which occasionally leads to jokes about such elements as camera crews and the self-aware narrating style.]
Edit

Charity Drive (series 1)

When Gob and Michael are in front of the banana stand, we see George Michael in the background putting a prepared banana on the counter. The shot changes and he has suddenly moved and is still finishing preparing the banana. [He never places the banana on the counter. He does place it in a paper used to serve to a customer so he can hold it by the banana. This is to support the weight while he finishes working on it.]

Burning Love (series 2)

When the family is meeting in the Board Room at the office, a boom mic is visible for a few seconds then is pulled out of camera view. [I think you have confused this episode with another one. There is only one meeting in the episode when only Michael is meeting with the board and gets a crank call from George Michael. At no point is there a boom mic in the shot.]
