A few screenshots of some great mistakes from Futurama, just because...well, why not?

Space Pilot 3000

When Fry and Bender are in the museum and locked in the "Villains" room, Bender breaks the two girders in the window, and then his arms falls off. As he puts his arms back in, you can see behind him that the girders are back in place in the window.

Space Pilot 3000

When Fry first meets Leela, there's a panel on the wall beside him. It has one red button at the bottom. In subsequent shots it has two buttons.

Space Pilot 3000

When Leela is calling for backup outside the head museum (her call sign is 1BDI: One Beady Eye), her arm band switches from her right arm to her left.

I, Roommate

When the team are gathered round the table at the beginning of the episode, note their positions when the video screen is turned on. When they see Fry drying his hair, Leela and Bender have each moved up a chair, and Zoidberg has also moved, and seems to have taken half of his previous chair with him.

Episode Two: The Series Has Landed

When the spaceman is delivering the 'Planet Express' package, the colour of the rocket on the box changes from black to green. The same thing happens to the spaceman when he's picked up by the large bird - the logo on his backpack changes colour.

I Second That Emotion

When Fry, Leela and Bender are in the mutant village they walk past a building which has the sign on it "Dry Cleaners." However, when the shot cuts to the close up, it has suddenly changes to just "Cleaners."

I, Roommate

When Leela is complaining to Fry and Bender about being inconsiderate, there is a container on the wall with folders in it. When the couch gets pushed out the door, it's disappeared.

I, Roommate

When Fry is watching "All My Circuits" for the first time, it shows Calculon screwing a golden bolt onto the index finger of a fembot's right hand. In the very next shot, the bolt is on the middle finger of her hand.

Fear of a Bot Planet

When Hermes first brings in the package of lugnuts the address is on two lines, the "To:" and "Chapek 9", but after that shot the address is all on one single line, - "To: Chapek 9".

I Second That Emotion

Leela's shirt gets fixed when she picks up Nibbler after they defeat the Chupeneabrea

I Second That Emotion

Right at the beginning when Leela is opening Nibbler's food, there is no pipe connecting to the microwave, yet when Bender is attacked there is a pipe.

A Fishful of Dollars

When we first see the team sitting round the table, Bender is sitting next to Leela. As the egg is burst with the syringe, we should see Bender in shot, but he isn't there.

Time Keeps on Slipping

After the end of the basketball game, Leela's tights briefly disappear.

Love's Labors Lost in Space

In the beginning, when Leela is on a date with the guy she says, "This restaurant is a great choice," and their glasses are on the table. When it cuts two plates suddenly appear as well.

Love's Labors Lost in Space

Zapp Brannigan's medal doesn't appear on his uniform until Leela arrives, and it disappears again after he shows it off.
