Mole Man - S1-E11

Factual error: After the building in the Rockefeller Center is pulled out from under its foundation, it falls through the Earth's surface for what Reed says is miles before it comes to a crashing halt in the subterranean ground. If a building of that size fell many miles through the Earth's surface and came to a dead stop in the ground, then the velocity at which it would have been traveling and the force of the sudden stop would cause the building to be completely destroyed, and everyone in the building that isn't a superhero would be killed from the impact.

The Mask of Doom: Part 3 - S1-E10

Factual error: When the Persians launch the boulder at the Greek ship, it falls short and lands in the ocean. The ensuing splash is far too small for the mass of the boulder and the velocity at which it landed in the water. (00:15:31)

Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4

Factual error: The continents on the world map seen in Iron Man's lab are so crudely drawn that they shouldn't pass for an actual map a superhero team would legitimately use. South America looks more like Australia, and what appears to be Madagascar is too big in relation to Africa, and is also on the wrong side of the continent. (00:12:42)

Boy Meets World (1993)

The Honeymoon is Over - S7-E9

Factual error: When Cory and Topanga first enter their new couples dorm, they discover it to be a dump. The entire dorm is filthy, cabinets are falling apart, there are large bugs crawling on the floor, and there is no clean running water. Student housing laws would require the university to restore the dorm to liveable conditions before any student could move in. If the health department saw the conditions of the room, the university would undoubtedly be fined for failing to take corrective action. (00:07:45 - 00:10:36)

Boy Meets World (1993)

Starry Night - S5-E20

Factual error: The Starry Night painting that characters look at in the Van Gogh exhibit is mentioned as being the original painting itself. However, if you compare the painting presented in this episode with the real-life painting that is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, you can see that it is an imitation, as the colors are brighter and the little details in the painting are not as prominent.

Starry Night - S5-E20

Factual error: When Topanga and Ricky are looking at the Starry Night painting, Topanga reads from her pamphlet and says it mentions Vincent Van Gogh became religious around the time he painted it. Van Gogh grew up in a religious household, with his father being a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, and Vincent himself actually had a desire to become a pastor. On the contrary, however, when he painted Starry Night, although he still believed in an afterlife, he was actually disillusioned with religion.

The Eskimo - S5-E13

Factual error: When Shawn and all the other contestants - as well as the radio DJs and onlookers - are standing out in the cold for a chance to win Super Bowl tickets, no-one's breath is visible, nor are any parts of their faces red.

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

Factual error: When Bruce is tying the rope through the handles of the magnetic devices to prevent falling onto the laser beams, he only loops the rope through the one on the left, he doesn't tie a knot. The moment he started hanging onto the rope, his weight should have pulled it through the handle.

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Factual error: Dr. Doom traps Hulk on an asteroid and sends it hurtling towards the sun, which it reaches in a matter of minutes. The sun is around 93 million miles from the Earth. Even if the asteroid was traveling at one million mph, it would still take nearly 4 days to reach the sun, not merely a few minutes. The same mistake applies for Hulk returning to Earth within a few minutes.

The Incredible Hulk mistake picture

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Factual error: She-Hulk stops the runaway truck by holding onto the back of it and letting her feet drag on the asphalt. Afterwards, her high heels are still intact. The friction from stopping the truck would have destroyed her shoes within seconds. (00:06:00)

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Factual error: When She-Hulk loses her grip on the elevator cable, she catches onto the structure on the walls, but Betty loses her grip and falls several floors before She-Hulk can fall after her. A couple of shots later, She-Hulk has already caught up with Betty, even though there wouldn't be enough distance for She-Hulk to have reached terminal velocity to catch up with Betty.

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Factual error: When the Dark Hulk is attacking the city and destroys a helicopter, the occupants can be seen with their parachutes already deployed immediately after the helicopter has exploded. Not only would they not have had enough time to already be parachuting to safety, but given that the helicopter was only a few stories high in the air, they wouldn't have had time to safely deploy their parachutes in the first place.
