Let's Go to the Hop - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: After "Lando" muses about getting to take Meg to the dance, the show changes to the family having dinner. Meg is bragging about the other kids stopping doing toad, and Chris has a spoon in his hand resting on the plate. The shot cuts to a close-up of him, and suddenly his arm is raised with the spoon in the air. Also, the painting behind him is suddenly much larger. (00:12:45)

Let's Go to the Hop - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: After Meg finds out Peter isn't taking her to the dance and confronts him about it, it changes to their home with Lois asking Peter about why. He is lying on a circular rug on the floor writing in a notebook. He is lying across the rug with the book on the edge of it. When it cuts to a close-up in the next shot, suddenly he is off the rug lying towards it with the book closer to the centre. (00:14:40)

Continuity mistake: Peter yells at Lois and acts like a child, saying "I hate you!" and runs up to their room. He flops down on the bed with his shoes on. In this first shot, his feet are right at the edge of the bed, but when the camera changes angles, suddenly he's further up in the bed with a lot more room between the edge and his feet. (00:16:10)

Let's Go to the Hop - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When we first go to the dance in the gymnasium, "Lando" is dancing on the basketball court with Connie. In the far shot, his foot is right on the half-court line. Then in the next close-up, suddenly he's far away from it. Also, he's now suddenly in the centre of the spotlight; the spotlight is smaller, and the people behind him and Connie change positions and are closer together. (00:18:45)

Continuity mistake: When the kids are playing Duck Duck Goose, after it's Stewie's turn to be it, there's suddenly fewer kids in the circle. It's possible the darker-skinned boy is off screen on the right side; however, the girl on the left has fully vanished, with the kid in the orange shirt taking her place. (00:05:40 - 00:06:10)

Dammit Janet - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Stewie is in his room talking to Rupert and himself out loud about Janet we see that Rupert is on the left side of Stewie's pillow. When the camera pans over to Brian who overhears Stewie's musings, after Brian makes fun of Stewie the camera pans back and Rupert is gone. There is also a quick tete-a-tete on the color of Janet's eyes and the final shot is on Stewie and his crib and yet no Rupert to be found. (00:07:20)

There's Something About Paulie - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: During the taxi cutaway, the guy talking on the mic is in a booth with papers on the walls. The shot cuts to the guy in the white shirt at the table next to it, and suddenly the booth walls and papers are much larger. Also, the paper directly behind this guy goes from only partly covering the wall to nearly covering it fully and being end to end. (00:01:30)

Underage Peter - S14-E14

Plot hole: They're in the Clam complaining that they can't drink when they make the revelation that Brian can because he's technically 56. But Quagmire should be able to drink, as in a much earlier episode, he's revealed to be over 60.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Quagmire considers the rest of them to be his best friends. He isn't drinking because they can't drink. He is complaining because since his friends can't drink - he won't drink, so he is still pissed.

It's still a plot hole considering Quagmire's age. I think the writers messed up big time.

You make a good point, but it's awkward to be that one person who is drinking while surrounded by people who can't. So, I understand the correction that was submitted above. Because his friends are not drinking, he now feels that he can't.

It's 100% a mistake. Quagmire simply would buy them alcohol the same way Brian did when they realized he could.

Business Guy - S8-E9

Question: In the episode, Peter threatens to fire Lois, and she responds with "you wouldn't" and Peter then replies with "Oh really, does the name Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?" which in turn makes Lois go wide eyed and reply with "OK, I'll behave" and Peter then goes on to add "Yes you will" Can anyone explain this joke if it is a joke to comprehend?

Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
