A Man's Teeth Are Not His Own - S2-E13
Corrected entry: Rob is in the middle of eating a sandwich. You can't break a tooth on a sandwich unless it's frozen, cement, glass or made of ice.

The Ballad of the Betty Lou - S3-E9
Corrected entry: Laura tells coast guard that their number is 636-9970. Which also happens to be their zip code - the "69970" in case anyone was wondering.
Correction: There is no 69970 zip code in the U.S. If there was, it would probably be in or near Nebraska not New York. New York zip codes range from 00501 to 14925.
Not real-life zip code. In the show, it was stated that their zip code was the same as their phone number.

The Blonde-Haired Brunette - S1-E2
Corrected entry: In the 1st episode there are about 20 pictures behind the writers desk. Next episode... Gone, replaced with a giant bookshelf and a bunch of scripts. The bookshelf was behind the couch in the 1st episode.
Correction: So they got a new bookshelf between episodes. Or they moved it from another, unseen part of the room.
I fixed it.

Character mistake: Rob is reading the news or his lines and instead of saying "the stay awake record of 100 hours" he says "stay away record of 100 hours."

Suggested correction: Of course he does. He is punch drunk from the lack of sleep. That's the point.
On hour 24 Rob couldn't even say the rhyme at all, he also sounded slightly drunk, also his lower eye lids got dark. I have been up for 48 hours before and my eye lids never turned that color also I didn't act slightly drunk like that either. So it's not actually true to life here.
1) You can't assume your personal experiences is typical of everyone's. 2) I doubt your experience was very funny. In a comedy, stupidity overrides "true to life."
More like dumbness overrides "true to life." I'm pretty sure that falling down the stairs is funny to some people (which is what I did).

The Ghost of A. Chantz - S4-E3
Factual error: When Laura and Sally are about to go to the bedroom, Buddy and Rob are going to sleep in the living room of the haunted cabin. Rob and Laura tell Buddy and Sally things like how he steals the pillow and he takes all the covers at home. However at home, they sleep in twin beds so they shouldn't know such things. However, they do have a son. They had to share a bed at least once in their marriage.

Suggested correction: Or they sleep in twin beds because he steals the pillow and takes the covers when they tried sharing a double bed.
It's not true that Rob steals pillows... Because every episode Rob has only 2 pillows. Unless he steals them in the middle of the commercials... and then they vanish before the next scene.

Other mistake: The record that is to Rob's right (our left) isn't spinning while the base part under it is, until Rob puts the ceramic coffee cup on the record. Notice that ceramic coffee cup is also the same coffee cup that Rob threw away in the episode "Your Home Sweet Is My Home"

Suggested correction: So you are claiming that they somehow rigged the turntable so it would spin without spinning the record until he put the cup down on it. For what reason? No only does this error defy common sense, it is obviously wrong if you watch the episode. The record is spinning. You can see the variations in the highlights on the surface as it does so. Also, it is not a ceramic cup, it is a paper cup, complete with a folding paper handle. And it in no way resembles any cup used in "Your Home Sweet Home is My Home."
I did great! I forgot which episode I saw the same cup in.
Correction: Rob specifically said he broke the tooth on a chicken bone that was in the sandwich.
Now, how did the bone get in the sandwich in the first place? Also, there was no blood either.
Liz Blue 1970
The bone got in there because someone was sloppy preparing the chicken. Why would there be blood? The tooth only has blood vessels in the innermost part (the pulp). You would only bleed if the tooth was completely knocked out. I know this from personal experience. I happened to have a broken tooth just this week (weakened from an old filling). This is at least the third time this has happened to me. Never had any bleeding.
