Frank the Plumber - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: During Frank's discussion with the candidate for mayor, there's a bus leaving the stop, it's not the same vehicle. In the first shot, it's 1717, with no advertisement or line number on the rear, while in the second it's 1691 with an ad above the licence plate and the number 82 on the display. (00:19:20)

I'll Light a Candle for You Every Day - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In season 1, when Ian is looking for Mickey, Mandy mentions that Mickey went to take their mum out of jail. After, it is mentioned 2-3 times that their mum is dead. Mandy also specifies to Lip in season 2 that she's been dead since she was a baby.

May I Trim Your Hedges? - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Kevin divorces his first wife in Season 3, Episode 3. But in Season 10, Episode 12, he tells Veronica that he will have to find her first to get a divorce before he can marry V.

Season 8 generally

Character mistake: When Fiona and Ford are lying on the mattress looking up at the compass on the ceiling, the compass is improperly painted. With west on the left, north would be at the top, not the bottom as depicted.

Slaughter - S11-E5

Character mistake: Iain and Mickey tell paramedics about an old lady needing immediate help in her apartment on the "5th floor" just before stealing their ambulance as the paramedics storm into the building. However, the apartment building has lots of units on every floor and no unit # was given in this fairly large building. Medics would have trouble finding her had this been a real call.

A Bottle of Jean Nate - S2-E7

Factual error: Karen says she doesn't want to divorce Jody because he'll take half her life insurance payout in the divorce, but life insurance (as well as other inheritances) are not considered marital property and don't usually get divided in a divorce.

Swipe, Fuck, Leave - S7-E2

Deliberate mistake: When Dominique is creating a Tinder profile for Fiona (an app Fiona admits she doesn't use), she manages to use Fiona's phone to take a picture of her, create a profile, and quickly get three matches, all within a span of 25 seconds. Downloading the app itself would take longer than 25 seconds, much less agreeing to its terms of service, and verifying the email or phone number associated with the account. (00:45:15 - 00:45:39)

Lip Gallagher: I'm not my dad. You hear me? I'm not my fucking dad.

Drugs Actually - S5-E11

Question: The Army says Ian could serve 5 years in prison for going AWOL. Given that he fraudulently enlisted at the age of 17, could they actually charge him with going AWOL when he wasn't legally allowed to serve in the military in the first place?
