Y2K - S1-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Darnell is amused by the funny greeting card, as the camera moves towards him, you can spot a crew member (most likely a boom mic operator) on the left side of the screen, on the other side of the display shelf. His/her arm is well visible but you can even see his/her head for a brief moment.

Dangar

Buried Treasure - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Whenever Earl, Joy and Randy go to visit Jasper in the flashback, his Russian bride is in the background. She shouldn't be around at this time as earlier in the show Jasper is barely introducing the gang to his Russian bride years after the flashback occurs (S1E12).

Very Bad Things (1) - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Randy spray paints his name over the bargain buys logo on the side of the truck. However, when Earl and Joy realise there is a man in the back of it, it cuts to a long shot and it still has the bargain buys logo on it. Then when Earl comes back with the gas, Randy is painting over his name with the white paint.

Teacher Earl - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Randy gives Earl his safety deposit key back. The screen switches to Randy, and then back to Earl, except where there used to be a safety deposit key on the napkin in from of him are now 3 safety deposit keys, and rearranged for that matter. After another screen switch between the two, the 3 keys get rearranged again. (00:20:30 - 00:21:10)

Suggested correction: Wrong show, Kenny has a Mom and a Dad. It was Raising Hope where his character had two lesbian moms.

Monkeys Take a Bath - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Earl's mother is in the bathroom stall we see she has a tiny bit of toilet paper on the roll next to her. As Joy puts her head underneath the stall the amount of toilet paper is now much longer than before. It goes from half a square of paper to about 2-3 squares of paper.

Lummie

Joy: Is his sister getting married? Is she? Cause if she didn't ask me to be a bridesmaid I swear to God, I will march down to that Club Chubby and wrap her neck around that pole.

More quotes from My Name Is Earl

Trivia: Most of Catalina's speeches in Spanish (the ones that are not translated) are actually actress Nadine Velasquez speaking to the camera, addressing the viewers. For example, in episode 1-11 (Barn Burner), although it appears that she is throwing insults at Joy, she is actually saying "I want to take this moment to thank our Latino audience for watching. And for those of you who can understand me but who are not Latino, I want to commend you for learning a second language".
