Character mistake: Humphrey tells the riddle of the two barbers wrong; you have to set it up saying that the 'good' barber has a great haircut, not that he's great at cutting hair, or you negate its point (which is that the 'bad' barber with the bad haircut is the one who did the haircut to the good-looking barber, and vice-versa).

Death in Paradise (2011)
Character mistake: The rap sheet of Laura Hagen's dad says that he served "half of an 12 years sentence." An twelve? (00:15:50)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #4.7 - S4-E7
Character mistake: Humphrey quotes by memory the precedent of adermatoglyphia remembering correctly the name of the patient. He says that it happened in 2008, though, while the date it was reported was 2007.

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #4.7 - S4-E7
Character mistake: Annette Burgess calls herself an "Inspirational entrepreneuress." That word just does not exist. It's 'female entrepreneur", or "entrepreneuse." (00:11:55)

The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In KOF95, Chapter 3, scenario "Their older sister", the protagonist's box of text says, in reaction to Noah gloating over the supposed cowardice of the "Man with a black mask"; "They're not the eyes of a man who realised concedes defeat."

The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In KOF 95 1-1, the "man with a staff" speaks to the "man covering his face" and Iori, answering the question "I was called here...but by who?" with a rather questionable "I am called you, Kisaragi."

Saint Seiya: Awakening
Character mistake: In the cutscene with Seiya unconscious during the beating he takes at the house of Aldebaran, the letter S is sorely missing when Marin says "If he take out his sword" and Mu says "Gold Saint have all learned."
10th Apr 2020
The King of Fighters All Star
Character mistake: In KOF 94, Noah mentions before facing the female team that they have many supporters and that it will be like playing an away game, with the crowd in the stadium. The day of the match though, the battle does not take place in any stadium or arena.
Suggested correction: It's a simile. Noah is saying that everyone will be rooting against him.

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #4.4 - S4-E4
Character mistake: Close captions in the episode write down the Frenglish mish-mash by Goodman as "leoffer" without space, when he's saying "le offer" ("offer" in French is "offre", but he's just making a joke, with "le" making automatically everything sound French).

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #4.3 - S4-E3
Character mistake: On the website of the Saint Marie Heritage Society, there's an ample mention of Catherine's bar where the society gathers. However, it mentions the lovely "Catherine Duval" serving drinks - Catherine is Camille's mother, and their last name, as also present in the credits, is Bordey, not Duval. (00:20:45)

Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs
Character mistake: In the pep talk Elaine gives on the pier at the end of chapter 6, she says "In two years, you've done for them more than any real Loren in centuries." Each chapter lasts two months; a year passed, not two.
Suggested correction: In a couple of the Codex entries, it's explained that each in-universe 'year' consists of only 9 months (instead of our 12) of 28 days each. The Calendar entry of the Codex even tells you the names of the months and the order they go in. So each chapter (55 days) spans 2 months + 1 week. (it still comes out to more like 1.5 years instead of 2, but hey).

Super Bernie World
Character mistake: Before the fourth and final world, President Donald Trump exclaims "It's you!", to which Bernie Sanders replies "Not me, us." It's a cool comeback and all but 'you' applies to both cases, 'me' and 'us'.

Never Look Away (2018)
Character mistake: The tour guide inside the "Degenerate art" exhibition ridicules the 'child-like' paintings of the likes of Mondrian and Kandinsky. In particular he stands in front of Kandinsky "Upward." The German name of the work is "Empor", but the tag says "Empore." (00:03:40)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.6 - S3-E6
Character mistake: After a long day of various inquiries around the island and a lot of roaming and chit-chatting, DS Camille Bordey and DI Humphrey Goodman go back to the station wondering "if the photographs from Matthew Webster's camera have finished downloading." (00:23:50)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.5 - S3-E5
Character mistake: Fidel says that the victim "removed" the hard drive of his laptop, even pointing out an empty slot where the HD would be. During his massive overacting when he figures out of the solution of the case, Humphrey says that Jacob "wiped" the hard drive. (00:21:40 - 00:41:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #3.2 - S3-E2
Character mistake: When Camille and Humphrey browse the writers' message board, the post done by Arnold Finch under the pen name of "Grumpywriter" contains a variety of spelling mistakes unbecoming of a writer (but that often happen in this show's prop department) such as "unnecasary" "tallentless imbecel." Earlier (hard to catch it without slo-mo in this case) in his mail we see him ask about puffer fish poison and "it's toxicity" and sign the mail with "Sincerly." The subject of another mail in the inbox is "Updated Shedule." (00:22:30)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #2.6 - S2-E6
Character mistake: DI Richard Poole does not correct Officer Fidel Best properly; he says that the case he has in mind is "Makin v Attorney General for New South Wales, 1894", but it's actually 1893. (00:07:10)
4th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #2.3 - S2-E3
Character mistake: Richard makes it sound really special and important that the tea in the box is Camelia Sinensis...but that tells absolutely nothing, since it's simply the name of the tea plant, not a specific, precious variety of it. Your standard tea you buy at the supermarket is just as Camelia Sinensis as any other type of tea. (00:08:40)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #2.2 - S2-E2
Character mistake: The prescription pills are labeled "Sister Therese", but Therese is not a nun yet (in the credits of the episode itself she is the one not labeled as such, but just by her name). (00:44:50)
4th Apr 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Episode #2.2 - S2-E2
Character mistake: Throughout the episode, multiple times members of the clergy themselves talk about Therese not having yet received "holy orders." She would never have, considering that nuns only take "vows", the former are just for men.
