Family Guy

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: In numerous shots we see the interior layout of the dining room, with the four sets of two story windows behind the arm chair at the head of the table. After Tom is accused of being the murderer, when he's captured in the dining room they're all behind the arm chair as they crack a joke about Adrien Brody. The problem occurs as the shot pulls backwards through the window, which is an average bay window instead of the four sets of two story windows. (00:37:35)

Petergeist - S4-E26

Continuity mistake: The table with the TV on in Peter and Lois' room is just a small table at the beginning of the episode when Stewie talks to the poltergeist. But as they speak to Stewie in the TV it's on a high up chest of drawers. (00:08:00 - 00:12:00)

Chitty Chitty Death Bang - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After Lois says, "When Meg and Chris turned one I missed everything," it flashes back to Lois writing 'happy birthday Meg' on the cake, and there's wallpaper border at the top of the walls, but when Peter asks her what she's doing in the kitchen the wallpaper border is gone. The paper cups that Lois filled with punch also vanish, and the rolling pin, board, etc. suddenly appear. (00:11:30)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When the guests walk through the secret passage, the order of the guests change between shots. First, it's Peter, then Chris, then Carl, then Doctor Hartman, then Seamus, then Quagmire, then Lois. But in the shot of the passage, the order is Peter, then Chris, then Carl, then Lois, then Consuela, then Doctor Hartman. Then when they reach the secret room, the order is Peter, then Chris, then Carl, then Lois, then Bonnie, then Quagmire, then Derek, then Jillian. (00:20:00)

Casual Person

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.
