Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Captain Peralta - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: The scene where Boyle explains the case for Scully and Hitchcock you can see the same two people walking by the room 3 times, coming from right to left in the background. (00:08:30 - 00:09:20)

Bureau - S3-E22

Character mistake: Captain Holt calls the Pimento case "Operation 225641441636324" which he said he arrived by placing a numerical value to each letter in Pimento and then squaring it. But the perfect squares couldn't match up to Pimento since there's only 6 perfect squares and Pimento has 7 letters (plus the last 2 perfect squares don't fit the pattern of the previous 4). Nor is "225641441636324" a perfect square.

Terry Kitties - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: When Charles approaches Adrian about how much longer he's going to stay at his place, he knocks stuff off the desk leaving a pink folder. After Adrian takes the fork away from Charles' neck, there are now extra folders on top of the pink one.

Halloween III - S3-E5

Plot hole: Amy lets Scully place the watch in the break-room, but how could she have known that after Captain Holt steals the crown out of the locker, he would go there? And not, for example, go back through the window he came from.

Kicks - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When Jake is explaining why he let Richmond go, the left zip of his hoodie goes from folded out to flat between shots and back again a few times. This is especially noticeable when he says "the old me." (00:18:07)

Captain Peralta - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Jake and Boyle talk about Jake's Dad, a man (grey clothing and holding a cup) in the background (behind Boyle on the left) walks from the back to the front in the same way in both shots. (01:45:00 - 01:55:00)

Mr. Santiago - S4-E7

Revealing mistake: When Jake is typing on his computer just before Terry talks to him about meeting Amy's dad for the first time, his computer is and remains on the desktop doing nothing. (00:02:05)

Christmas - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Jake handcuffs himself to Captain Holt, the cuffs around each of their wrists consists of double metal bars connected to a single bar. The direction of the handcuffs changes a few times, going round their wrists the opposite way, which is quite impossible. Then the same thing occurs when Boyle handcuffs himself to Holt. (00:09:35)

Super Grover

HalloVeen - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When the lights go off after attaching the belt to the ceiling, Holt is interrupted before he finishes the word "winner", however in the flashback he says "winner of the 5th annual-" before being interrupted.

Show generally

Revealing mistake: In the opening credits (the very beginning), Jake is walking and the image behind him is blurred. When it unblurs (right before it the shot changes), the phone number on the building behind him is 213 which is LA, vs. 718 which is Brooklyn.

Johnny and Dora - S2-E23

Character mistake: When Wunch frisks Holt in order to "check for a wire," she appears to forget that her actions are easily visible through the interrogation room's mirror, something a high ranking official in the NYPD would not likely forget. (00:11:41)

Halloween III - S3-E5

Other mistake: Holt takes the crown out of the back of Jake's cabinet. However this wouldn't be possible as the crown was in the top drawer. This would have a back on it and it wouldn't be accessible by just removing the back of the cabinet.

HalloVeen - S5-E4

Other mistake: When Amy reaches down to get the key out of her shoe she literally only bends slightly. There is no way that she could've reached all the way down to her foot, or retrieve the key in the seconds before she gets it. (00:14:30)

The Crime Scene - S6-E6

Character mistake: Jake and Rosa are looking around in The Apartment for months. 14 CIS workers are analyzing The Apartment. All of them are looking for a killer who never left The Apartment. Still, in multiple months no-one thinks about checking the person-sized vents. Seems pretty unlikely. Vents are literally the first thing anybody thinks about when people try to disappear. And a vent of this size is a dead giveaway that someone for sure would have checked.

Ava - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Terry's wife Sharon walks into the station, she's wearing a purple dress. When she announces her water has broken while in the interrogation room, she's wearing the purple dress. After returning from commercial break, she's still sitting in the exact same spot but now wearing a burgundy tracksuit and lavender top. (Perhaps she changed clothes because her water broke however, it's highly unlikely since she is sitting in the same place and doesn't look like she's left the room).

Teeveequeen

Bad Beat - S5-E5

Jake: Captain, allow me to introduce you to major East Coast arms dealer Dan "Daniel" Valdano. That's right, his nickname is longer than his actual name. Why's that, Terry?
Terry: 'Cause he's a dick.

Payback - S2-E13

Question: While trying to keep Terry busy at the gym, Jake is on the treadmill and believes he has burned 200 calories, until Terry corrects him and tells him 200 is his heart rate. I know it's a joke, but in reality, could a person even talk with a heart rate of 200 bpm? (00:16:20)
