The One With the Male Nanny - S9-E6
Corrected entry: As Chandler is leaving for Tulsa, he tells Monica to have Geoffrey (who Monica claimed was the funniest person she ever met) email him with funny Oklahoma jokes at www.hahanotsomuch.com. There is a real web page with this name with various quotations from that episode.
5th Jan 2005
Corrected entry: When Wallace drops out of bed, into the kitchen and has jam splat on his face, the jam is 'fired' automatically. But earlier when we saw the same thing happen, Gromit needed to press a button to 'fire' the jam, so it would land on the toast.
15th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: Bart leaves home and walks to school. Later, though, he leaves school with his skateboard. (00:02:00 - 00:05:35)
Correction: He left his skateboard at school the previous day which is why he walked to school. Probably the skateboard had been confiscated.
13th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: When Bart arrives late at the social club, he is mumbling. His mouth doesn't move. (00:13:25)
Correction: It's quite easy to mumble without moving one's mouth, I get accused of it all the time.
26th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: When Homer does the test again, he doesn't read the questions in order if you look carefully on the sheet. (00:18:00)
Correction: There is no reason why he has to read them in order. He's answering the ones he knows first which is something many people do.
26th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: Before the time trials start, we can see how far the track is, but while Bart, Nelson and Martin are racing, considering the speed they're traveling, the track seems much longer. (00:12:25 - 00:14:35)
Correction: I've watched this scene again and there's nothing unusual about the length of the track or the time they take to complete it. When we see the track at the start we can't see the finish line so we have no way of telling if they take unusually long.
26th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: If you watch the scene in slow motion where Nelson is attacking Bart at the time trials, you can see another Bart in the audience. (00:14:00)
Correction: During this scene all the characters watching the race are blurred to give the impression of speed so there's no way to know if it's Bart since we can barely make out the faces. It's certainly someone wearing a red t-shirt but that doesn't make it Bart especially since the person appears to be much taller than a small boy.
30th Apr 2004
Corrected entry: When Bart is showing his Soap Box racer To Martin and his other friends, we see an oil spill on the driveway which is grey. In another shot, the oil is black.
Correction: The view of the oil spill is from completely different angles so it's just a trick of the light. Oil can also be rainbow coloured in the right light.
25th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: As Bart tells his friends about his racer, there is a set of stairs visible at an impossible area of the garage. (00:09:00)
Correction: The stairs are inside the house, we are seeing the underside of them.
Future episodes show the garage is on a corridor to the kitchen, nowhere near the stairs.
25th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: On his soapbox derby racer, Bart is pounding his hammer on an area that doesn't have nails in it. (00:08:00)
Correction: Pure speculation, we can't see the area he is hitting in enough detail to know if there are nails or not.
26th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: During the finals, if there was a paper speedometer on the Honor Roller, why would the speedometer be working at all then? (00:20:10)
Correction: This is a simple one, we never see the speedometer working. We see the needle fixed in one position before it peels off so no mistake.
25th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: Homer complains that he missed a part of Joe Theisman. It's a TAPE. He can just watch it over again. (00:07:10)
19th Dec 2004
The One With Chandler's Dad - S7-E22
Corrected entry: When the police officer is giving Rachel a ticket he sees her birthday, says "Aquarius", and she says yes. But in an earlier episode when Gunther is asking for people's birthdays Rachel says her birthday is May 5. To be an Aquarius your birthday has to be between January and February.
27th Aug 2001
Corrected entry: In the scene where Peggy Brandt is in the Bank talking to Stanley, Stanley refers to her column as "Ask Peggy" but, a few seconds later in that scene she refers to it as "Dear Peggy".
Correction: Stanley got it wrong and Peggy corrected him. Many columns like this are called Dear... or Ask... so it's plausible that Stanley would make a mistake.
3rd Apr 2003
Corrected entry: The art gallery is conveniently fitted with heat sensitive cameras. However, this would not be sensible in an art gallery, as infra-rad cameras cannot make distinctions such as precise facial features, necessary for identifying a thief.
Correction: They would however be capable of detecting the presence of a human being and setting off the alarm. Even most regular security video cameras give fairly poor images and are not much use for identifying people unless they look right at it for a few seconds.
21st Dec 2003
Corrected entry: In the opening shoot out in the liquor store, Quentin Tarrantio shoots bottles of liquor, that then pour onto the clerk. George Clooney then throws a flaming roll of toilet paper at the clerk, causing the liquor to burst into flames. This is a neat idea, but only liquor that is 100 proof or higher(very high alcohol content) will burn. The bottles shown breaking are normal booze, which is mostly 40-80 proof and not very flammable. All of these bottles would have had to be Everclear or Bacardi 151 or a similar high alcohol liquor to cause a fire like that. (00:08:00)
Correction: Only one of the bottles needs to be high alcohol to get the fire started then the rest will follow without hesitation. Even without that, it's relatively easy to light a cocktail made from "normal" alcohol, I've done it and seen it done many many times.
3rd Jun 2003
Corrected entry: In two different scenes, the same extras (a woman with long blonde hair and a man) are shopping in the store where Dave works, first in a brief shot on Dave while the others have their dress rehearsal, and then before Dave and Gaz steal the jackets. (01:00:45 - 01:08:45)
Correction: It's a supermarket, it's not a mistake for people to go shopping in the same supermarket more than once.
27th Aug 2001
Corrected entry: When all the vampires get hit by the sunbeams they explode, with no fire. But when Carlos frees them and the sun shines in all vampires explode into a huge fireball. (01:36:55)
Correction: Makes sense, the sunbeams are smaller. Once the door is opened the vampires are exposed to much more sunlight and the reaction would be more severe.
27th Aug 2001
Corrected entry: When Bond and the girl are trapped in the sunken ship, they take a big breath from their tanks and swim up the tunnel- why couldn't they put the tanks up the tunnel and then swim up below them?
Correction: Character decisions are not movie mistakes. The tanks would obscure their view at the very least.
24th May 2004
Corrected entry: In the scene where Phoebe finds the police badge, the cup in front of her moves around.
Correction: I've watched this scene very carefully and the cup simply does not move at all. It remains in exactly the same position for the whole scene.
