And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1
Corrected entry: The next morning the police are already parked outside the building, even though the bridge over the river is not built yet. How did they get there?
Corrected entry: When Chris says goodbye when Lois and Peter are getting on the boat, the sea in the background 'jolts'. (00:02:20)
Correction: The sea never jolts, it just drifts normally, like any part of the sea would.
Corrected entry: During this episode, Chris still goes to Buddy Cianci Jr. High, but the teacher who catches him with the vodka was seen in the episode "Let's Go to the Hop" as a teacher from Meg's school, James Woods High.
Correction: There are several possible explanations to this, the most likely one that the teacher had simply switched schools. Maybe he got a new job, or maybe he was a substitute who filled different positions at different times.
The Courtship of Stewie's Father - S4-E16
Corrected entry: When Peter is driving Stewie to Disneyland, the scenery flashing past the windows is just the same few trees over and over. (00:13:25)
Correction: This is a very common technique used in animation to save the animators time and effort. It can't really be classified as a mistake.
Corrected entry: In the shot where you see Pawtucket Pat and the group, look at the beer room from the door, Charlie and his grandpa are present (representing the characters from the 1971 Wonka film).
Correction: Not really trivia. It's incredibly obvious to anyone who's seen the movie that this is Charlie and Grampa Joe- in fact there are several close-ups of them during the episode.
Corrected entry: Lois refers to Gene Simmons by the name Chaim Witz, and they both say they knew each other and had sex together before Gene became famous. But the name "Chaim Witz" was the name Gene used in Israel as a child. According to his autobiography, when he came to New York as an eight-year-old, his name was changed to Gene Klein, and he never used the name "Chaim" in the US. Lois could not have known him when he went by the name Chaim Witz, and could certainly not have had sex with him at the time.
Correction: He couldn't have told her his birth name? Perhaps she preferred it to Gene Klein, or was showing off her detailed knowledge of Simmons early life.
Corrected entry: In the episode "No Chris Left Behind," when Peter and Lois are talking about Chris in the kitchen, Peter spots the chicken and then the chicken crashes through the window. After a few shots of fighting, they then both crash through the same window, but the break in the window from the chicken is missing.
Correction: That was not the same window. The chicken came in through the back kitchen window but Peter and the Chicken went back out through the front living room window.
Corrected entry: Peter has three fights with the chicken. Just before the first fight the chicken tells Peter to pick up a coupon notice. In that one shot, you can see the chicken's head shows the man inside, but in any other scene with the chicken, his head is covered.
Correction: The chicken is just a chicken, it's not a man in a suit.
Corrected entry: When Peter has the fight with the chicken in the part where they are on the overpass and the chicken lands on the truck then, the truck is driving away from the overpass but Peter doesn't move in the next shot it shows Peter on the same overpass but the truck the chicken was riding on again drives under the same overpass Peter is on with the chicken on the same truck.
Correction: No. The truck does move. Peter runs quickly ahead (faster than the truck) to another overpass, which the truck goes under, and Peter jumps off, with the joke being that Peter somehow overtook the truck.
The Father, The Son, and The Holy Fonz - S4-E18
Corrected entry: Catholic baptism does not involve total immersion.
Correction: This is a character mistake at best. Peter's father is a bit more extreme than most (after all he has called the Pope "soft") and since he's in a hurry to Get Stewie baptized he makes a mistake. Besides a baptizing done by a layperson would usually require that a priest performs a conditional baptizing at a later point, so even if he did it wrong it would still be valid if the intention was to have it redone by a priest later.
Corrected entry: When the Generals are looking at the screen that says Happy New Year, in one shot of the y in Year, the bottom of it curves to the left and in another shot it's straight.
Correction: The words are made of moving lights that are tracking flying missiles - you'd expect them to move about a bit, wouldn't you?
Stuck Together, Torn Apart - S3-E19
Corrected entry: In this episode, Peter goes on a date with Jennifer Love Hewitt, but on some copies of the the DVD case, it says he goes on a date with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Correction: This is a mistake on the DVD cover, and is not a movie mistake.
I Never Met the Dead Man - S1-E2
Corrected entry: When he is driving Meg home from her driver's test, Peter has a watch on. He complains that he will miss the beginning of the new TV show "Fast Animals, Slow Children." He stated earlier that the show started at 8:00. His watch says it is 10:00.
Correction: It is later shown that Quahog is dependent upon a cable and satellite network for its television. Many channels on these networks have 'shadow' channels that broadcast the same material one or two hours later, and some the next day. Hence, the 8.00 am and 10.00 am startup slot for this show.
To Live and Die in Dixie - S3-E12
Corrected entry: A mistake in the subtitles: As Stewie yells, 'I've got blisters on me fingers.' after singing 'My big old fat ass baby', the subtitles read: "Imitates John Lennon." It is widely argued, but McCartney and Starr claim that it was Starr who said that, after a particularly vigorous rehearsal for Beatles song, 'Helter Skelter'.
Correction: You've missed the point of Stewie's actions - he is imitating John Lennon (whose voice is completely different to Ringo's) regardless of who said the line in real life.
Corrected entry: Stewie enters the number "111-1113" on the phone - however, when played in slow motion, his finger doesn't hit the "3".
Correction: The rules of this site are quite clear - if you have to use slow motion or freeze frame to spot a minor mistake, it is invalid, unless the mistake is major.
Brian Does Hollywood (2) - S3-E2
Corrected entry: In the action scene at the beginning, Stewie is shooting a helicopter and it blows up, making Stewie fall through a glass-top building. We see him fall through from the inside of the building, but the helicopter is nowhere in sight.
Correction: Fairly obvious that this scene is happening in Stewie's imagination. The rules don't apply.
Corrected entry: In the new season, in the episode where Lois goes to jail for shoplifting, the family is visiting Lois in jail where she is wearing orange prison garb. In the next scene where Peter is helping Lois escape, he puts Lois' head in his mouth with her body hanging outside it. She is now wearing her normal uniform of green top and beige pants. Yes, its a cartoon, but she should still be wearing the orange.
Correction: It is possible she put her normal clothes on under the jumpsuit. A prisoner in Houston escaped by having regular clothes under his jumpsuit and taking it off before he walked out.
Corrected entry: Peter invites all the neighbors to his house, supposedly for tea. During the meeting, Peter excuses himself to ransack the other homes for the trophy. After the meeting, Peter, Lois and Chris are shown walking back to their own house, which was also ransacked.
Correction: There is nothing to indicate that this scene took place immediately after Peter ransacked all the other houses. All we see is that they are walking back into their house and the fact that someone ransacked their house (which couldn't have been Peter), would mean that one of the neighbours had the same idea as Peter and waited until they left to look through their house.
Corrected entry: When Peter gets kicked out of the beer factory, he comes home drunk to find Meg chained to a huge weight so she can't get away from the piano which Lois is forcing her to play. When Peter sits down and starts playing, Lois realizes how good he is and she tells Meg she's off the hook and to go try the Clarinet. Yet Meg gets up and runs away. What happens to the chain and the weight? If Meg could run this fast when she was tied up, why didn't she just try before?
Corrected entry: When you see the Pawtucket Patriot, the shadows change several times (Just like in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory).
Correction: The animators didn't include shadows in this scene, let alone their perspectives.
Correction: In the morning (00:39:05) there is one police cruiser in front of the mansion at this point (and more arrive), then it cuts to a shot of the bridge being worked on. We see that structural support beams have already been built, as well as two planks lying across the top to support moving vehicles, which the police cruisers have done. Also, in the last overhead shot (00:48:30) as the credits begin to roll, all the guests' vehicles are driving over those two planks.
