Factual error: She-Hulk's license plate reads "GAMMA-GRL." She's from Washington DC and now resides in New Mexico. Both places have a limit of seven characters on a license plate. It can't be a vanity plate either, because both places also require front and rear plates.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Factual error: When Hulk throws Abomination over the post office, the United States flag has only ten stripes, five red and five white. The U.S. flag has 13 stripes, seven red and six white. (00:04:50)

Boy Meets World (1993)
A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11
Factual error: This episode takes place near and on Christmas, but an establishing shot of the Matthews' house early in the episode shows the trees to still have very green leaves, and outdoor plants and the front lawn are still alive and healthy looking. None of this is possible in winter in Philadelphia.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Factual error: When Shawn has first infiltrated the college philosophy class, the professor begins to resume the class' previous lesson on what he calls "Buridan's paradox," relating a dog caught equidistant between two bowls of food. This paradox in real life is known as "Buridan's ass," and as the name would suggest, concerns a donkey. While the name was probably changed to sound more family friendly, a college philosophy professor would certainly know the proper name and details of said paradox.

King of the Hill (1997)
Born Again on the Fourth of July - S13-E14
Factual error: When Bobby and Lucky first walk into the church service that is taking place inside the karate studio, the pastor is calling everyone a sinner, and proceeds to point to a picture of Bruce Lee behind him and says he was a big sinner who repented and knew that the unrighteous would not inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Bruce Lee was an atheist.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Sixteen Candles and Four-Hundred-Pound Men - S4-E9
Factual error: The match between Vader and Jake the Snake is supposed to be taking place in Philadelphia, presumably the Spectrum, but the establishing shot of the building is actually the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Factual error: When Hulk lands on top of Mount Rushmore, Teddy Roosevelt's glasses are missing.
15th May 2020
The X-Files (1993)
Factual error: The package Scully receives lists her city, state, and zip code as Bethesda, Maryland 20880. While that is an actual zip code in Maryland, it is for Washington Grove, not Bethesda.
9th May 2020
Boy Meets World (1993)
Factual error: In this episode, Eric and Cory stop in Pottstown, Pennsylvania on their way back to Philadelphia. Cory protests, reasoning that stopping there is pointless because they are only three hours from home. Pottstown is roughly 40 miles from Philadelphia. It certainly wouldn't take three hours to get to one location from the other under normal driving conditions.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Factual error: The opening shot of the Statue of Liberty shows the statue's left arm to be raised too high. The real statue has its left arm close to its midsection, whereas the statue depicted here has its arm nearly raised to shoulder level. (00:00:01)
26th Apr 2020
The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Factual error: The opening shot of this episode incorrectly depicts the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to be located between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol building. In reality, the reflecting pool is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial, with the Washington Monument roughly 1/5 of a mile east of the World War II Memorial, and the U.S. Capitol nearly a mile and a half east of the Washington Monument.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Factual error: When Hulk throws the Humvee at the helicopter, the pilot bails just before it explodes and manages to deploy his parachute. The helicopter was hovering roughly 30 feet above some buildings. That's not nearly enough distance for the pilot to have deployed his parachute before he fell onto the roof of one of the buildings.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Man to Man, Beast to Beast - S1-E6
Factual error: Hulk rescues Taylor from the icy waters, but Taylor shows no signs of hypothermia afterwards. He should be shivering profusely. Hulk naively tries to cuddle the boy and blow on him, but even if that had the ability to warm him up a little, his wet clothes would still be an issue.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
Helping Hands, Iron Fist - S1-E4
Factual error: When Bruce Banner sees the Hollywood sign reflected in the puddle of water, the reflection is backwards.

Factual error: The moon in the night sky in this episode is far too large.

Silver Surfer (1998)
Learning Curve: Part 1 - S1-E5
Factual error: When Pip is blasted back by the plasma jump, he is shown to rotate his body and slow down just before Silver Surfer reaches out and grabs him. Since he is in the vacuum of space, no amount of adjusting himself would help him slow down. He would continue to float perpetually until he bumped into something with more mass than himself or entered the atmosphere of a planet.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
The Return of the Beast: Part 2 - S1-E2
Factual error: When Betty's humvee breaks down in the middle of the desert, she gets out and steps over a scorpion. The scorpion is shown to have 10 legs (4 standard legs and 2 pincers). Scorpions have 8 legs.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: A scorpion's pedipalps (their pincers) are not legs. Scorpions and other arachnids have 8 legs and 2 pedipalps.

The Incredible Hulk (1996)
The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1
Factual error: When the Hulk jumps up and grabs on to the tail of the helicopter, he is somehow able to hang on to the tail while spinning the helicopter in a circle. Helicopters require a certain weight distribution in order to maintain stabilized flight. Someone of the Hulk's size and strength wouldn't be able to just hang on to the tail and spin the helicopter. He instead would bring the helicopter crashing down.

Silver Surfer (1998)
The Origin of the Silver Surfer: Part 3 - S1-E3
Factual error: When Silver Surfer is battling Galactus just outside the Earth's orbit, Surfer is depleted of his Power Cosmic and looks to draw energy from the sun to replenish it. The sun is pretty close to the Earth's orbit, when in reality it is 93 million miles away.

Common mistakes
Factual error: Most ventilation ducts are not large enough for a person to crawl around in, and any duct large enough for an adult to fit in wouldn't be able to support the person's weight. In the rare event that a company could afford a large ventilation system that could support a person's weight, they would likely forgo it anyway, as it would pose a security risk.
