Dental Receptionist - S1-E22

Other mistake: Cathy Calhoun is knitting a pair of socks for her brother, and offers to make a pair for Ozzie. She tells him, "If you really like them, I could get some more of the material." Knitting is done with yarn, not material. (00:06:50)

Other mistake: Bobby, Clovis and Celia Bradley find a large gold nugget in a mine. An assayer says gold is worth $15 an ounce and values the nugget at $87,425. That would mean it weighs 364 pounds, more than double the weight of the record-setting 173-pound gold nugget found in 1869 in Moliagul, Australia.

Top Gun - S6-E26

Other mistake: Five young boys in Ozzie's backyard are pretending to shoot each other with toy guns. Ozzie pretends he's been shot and falls to the ground. When he sits up, the boys compliment him on the way he "died great." Ozzie then tells them about his great-grandfather, a gunfighter known as Six-Gun Nelson. Following a fantasy sequence with Ozzie portraying Six-Gun Nelson, Ozzie is now magically wearing a gun belt with two holsters and two guns.

Stan & Ollie (2018)

Factual error: Stan's wife Ida says St. Petersburg, Russia, is a nice place to visit. The city's name did not change from Leningrad to St. Petersburg until 1991.

South Park (1997)

Continuity mistake: Mickey Mouse uses an axe to cut down a tree for Christmas. Each chop he makes is horizontal, but when the tree falls over, the lower part of the trunk comes to a point, and the stump remaining in the ground has disappeared.

Trivia: In the later seasons, almost every scene taking place at the Dobson and Kelly law office or in the Emporium or other local business is preceded by the same clip of a downtown street showing "First Bank" and a passing bus.

The Goat - S11-E19

Plot hole: Rick is taking care of his girlfriend's goat for a few days. He puts a bowl of milk on the floor, but The Goat will not drink. Harriet suggests, "We're probably just using the wrong method." The next scene shows Ozzie at the stove, heating milk in a baby bottle. Rick is 22 years old. Why would Ozzie and Harriet still have a baby bottle in the house?

The Goat - S11-E19

Character mistake: Rick and his girlfriend are enjoying a picnic in the woods when a baby goat wanders by. Rick says, "He looks hungry. Seen any tin cans around?" Peggy replies, "I don't think they eat tin cans until they're older." Goats will eat the labels of cans but they do not eat the cans.

Suggested correction: It's not a character mistake if Rick genuinely believes goats eat tin cans, but it's clear his girlfriend was being sarcastic in her reply about goats not eating tin cans till they're older. Of course, Rick could be asking if there's one around so The Goat can eat the label.
