Just Stuck It in That There Doo-Dad - S3-E3
Character mistake: At the start of the episode, Jimmy says he met Cookie at work. The scene then changes to the strip club where Cookie is working and Jimmy is there looking for Bobby. In the Season 1 episode "The Horny Bastard", Jimmy tells Cookie that they met when he robbed her dad's liquor store.
Character mistake: Winona says that Jason killed a penguin on their trip to the Arctic. This is impossible because penguins only live in the southern hemisphere.
Character mistake: Hayley is on the phone in the car with Alex and she's holding her phone upside down.
Character mistake: When Bree calls the police when she hears a noise downstairs, she says she lives at 4355 Wisteria Lane when her address is in fact 4354 Wisteria Lane. 4355 is the Scavo residence, not the Van De Kamp residence.
Rudy's Walk on the Wild Side - S6-E18
Character mistake: At the beginning, when Vanessa is begging for money from her dad to buy a CD, Cliff says she can clean the garage. But the Huxtables live in a brownstone townhouse and brownstones do not have garages.
Simpsons Already Did It - S6-E7
Character mistake: Butters says that he watched "all 132 episodes" of the Simpsons; at the time this episode aired, 291 episodes of the Simpsons had been produced and aired.
Character mistake: As Eddie Haskell and Lumpy Rutherford return from the washroom to Mr. Gannon's history class, Mr. Gannon calls Eddie "Louis."
Character mistake: During the radio show, the radio host gives the radio station's phone number as 555-4455, Alf then softly repeats the number back before he gets to the phone. He then picks up the headset and dials a number, but the numbers he presses on the phone don't match up to the number given by the radio station. (00:04:10)
Character mistake: When Alex mentions to Mallory that he's had sex before, he tells her he was 17 and that it was leap year. Not correct, this event occurred in 1982 (during one of the first episodes when Alex was 17), which was not a leap year.
On the Run - S3-E13
Character mistake: When Mrs Haldane is giving her statement to Regan she tells him that Cook was wearing dark glasses when she saw him outside her neighbour's house, but Cook wasn't wearing any glasses.
The Peruvian Puff Pepper - S3-E2
Character mistake: Drake says he hasn't been in Megan's room since he was five, but he brings Grammy's bags up there in the episode "Grammy".
Accounting for Lawyers - S2-E2
Character mistake: At the party, Jeff is talking to Ted about his parents' divorce, which included a custody hearing. Jeff mentions the divorce lawyer drove a Mercedes SLK. However, the SLK didn't come out until 1996, which would make Jeff at least 21 (turning 22) at the time of the divorce (he was born Nov 1974). There would have been no need for a custody hearing (Jeff was an only child between his mom and dad) and his parents divorced when he was very young, so the divorce had to happen prior to 1996.
Character mistake: Hank talks about watching the Broncos vs the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII. This is incorrect. They played in Super Bowl XII. Super Bowl XIII was the Cowboys vs the Steelers.
Six Strangers at Apache Springs - S2-E7
Character mistake: Preacher quotes from the bible ("The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved") stating it's from Jeremiah chapter 9, verse 20, but she quoted Jeremiah chapter 8, verse 20.
That Little Old Matchmaker, Martin - S1-E12
Character mistake: In Bill's office, after Tim talks about the acoustics in the building, Bill calls Tim "Bill." (00:15:51)
Character mistake: Dan makes a reference to the movie "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" (the movie he's planning on the family to watch). He starts a sentence saying "by the time John Candy says 'those aren't pillows'." John Candy did not say that line in the movie - Steve Martin did.
Character mistake: When Stan tells the airplane pilot to go and get S-T-U-F-F-E-D over the radio, he incorrectly identifies himself as 'Sugar Tango' instead of 'Sugar Bertie'.
Character mistake: After the crew realise that the matter paddle has made 2 copies of Red Dwarf, Kryten says something along the lines of, "When I threw the machine in reverse...", but it wasn't actually him who threw the machine in reverse, it was Lister. (00:06:55)
Character mistake: In this episode, Raymond says that after three times of proposing to Debra, she said no, and he didn't give up. However, in "The Pilot", Raymond says that the third time he proposed, she said yes.
Is There Honey Still for Tea? - S8-E3
Character mistake: When Mainwaring and the others are discussing how to break the news to Godfrey about his cottage, it is mentioned that the roof is made of thatch. However when Mainwaring, Wilson and Pike go to visit Godfrey, the roof of his cottage can be seen and it is slate, with no thatch anywhere in sight.
Suggested correction: Butters is always shown as being a bit dim and slow. As a kid it's easy for him to make a mistake in thinking that there was only 132 episodes.

That's why it's called a "character mistake"; also, Butters is certainly naive, but he's hardly what I would call "dim and slow."
