Correction: It does flip if you look carefully.

The Thin White Line (1) - S3-E1

Corrected entry: In the scene where Brian and Joe bust the "Sunday school drug ring," the two get in a brawl with a group of drug-running midgets. Joe throws his nightstick at one drug-runner, punches a second, but kicks the third drug-runner, despite the fact that Joe is a paraplegic.

Mabon-Tail

Correction: Already submitted and corrected. He swings his chair around so violently his legs come flying up due to the centrifugal force. He doesn't move them himself.

E. Peterbus Unum - S2-E18

Corrected entry: Joe Swanson says he spent his tax return on a new State-of-the-art TV with surround sound but later in the episode we see this TV when the power goes, doesn't look very new or modern.

Cybermoose

Correction: He's only allowed to own one television set?

Plus that could very well be state of the art, compared to no TV at all.

Correction: First, this is far too vague. What "things" are moving or disappearing? Second, it's a narrative flashback - Lois's impression of what happened. The normal rules don't apply.

Blind Ambition - S4-E3

Corrected entry: When Peter enters Chris' room and accidentally thinks Chris is Lois, he quickly stands up and tries to change the mood by asking Chris questions, one of which is, "Did you do your homework today?" Chris nods his head yes, and Peter comprehends, despite the fact that he is blind.

Correction: He doesn't comprehend. He just gives a response to whatever answer Chris would have given, since he can assume that Chris would've given him an answer. Peter is just saying anything to get out the room, and the timing of Peter's response to Chris' nod can be explained by the fact that Peter knows the pace of a conversation.

Gary O'Reilly

Correction: How is that a mistake? There is no law or rule that the number of candles on a cake must match the age of the birthday reciepent.

Lummie

Correction: It's a cutaway scene. Most of these did not happen in the Family Guy "world" but meant as jokes for the story.

randomguy

Correction: You never see Quagmire dial the phone, just his body stuck in the window.

Let's Go to the Hop - S2-E14

Corrected entry: In Chris's room, Peter and Louis accusing Chris of possessing a toad, when Chris says, "What about Meg. It could be hers." you can hear someone go, "Ha ha." on the sound track. It's no one in the family, as you can see none of their lips move.

Correction: Nobody says, "Ha ha." If you turn on the subtitles on the DVD, you can see it's Lois saying, "Oh now, dont."

Death Has a Shadow - S1-E1

Corrected entry: In the long shot of the mail lady walking to the Griffin house, she passes by the garage door. In the close up shot, she passes by it again.

Correction: She doesn't pass it twice, in the long view shot she makes it to the center of the little patch of grass then when you get up close, you can actually see a vertical line down the center of the patch and thats where she starts walking again.

Correction: The ground is off screen and before it is shown the balls could have easily bounced or rolled away.

Screwed The Pooch - S3-E13

Corrected entry: Peter and Carter Pewterschmidt, Lois's father, are in a game of Texas hold 'em poker with Michal Eisner, Bill Gates and Ted Turner. After some betting, Carter shows his hand, as does Ted. The problem is that anyone who has ever seen Texas hold 'em knows that they are not playing correctly. Each player has two cards to themselves and five community cards. It might be minor, but why mention a specific game such as hold 'em then not follow the basic rules of the game?

Correction: Texas Hold 'em was the first hand Peter dealt but the hand Carter and Ted are playing is much later in the night, it ends up being the last hand. They may have switched to five card draw to keep things interesting.

DaBoom - S2-E3

Corrected entry: Right after the Y2k takes effect and it shows the family (assumed to be only a little while later), Peter comments on how he was the third Hardy Boy. When Lois corrects him by saying that there were only two Hardy Boys, Peter says "Just like there was no apocalypse? HE SHOOTS HE SCORES." and slams into Lois with his stomach, causing her to fall down. When the shot changes, Louis is suddenly back on her feet. The transition between the two was less than a second - not nearly enough time for her to get back up.

Correction: All Peter does is bump her off screen and into something. We don't actually see her fall down.

Correction: This could very well be symbolic - Peter leaves his rifle behind because he's gotten over the insecurity that drove him to it in the first place, and Chris leaves his behind because he never needed it. Also, remember that we're talking about the two dumbest main characters in the series.

Yug Ylimaf - S11-E4

Corrected entry: Bonnie had Susie in season 7. In this episode they go back in time before Susie was born, Stewie is a year older than Susie so it makes no sense why he would be re born again. He's always a year old throughout the entire series.

Correction: They didn't go back in time. When the time machine broke, time started moving backwards. When Stewie saw Bonnie was pregnant, he realised events were being undone, which means he would soon be unborn. Time kept moving backwards until Stewie was unborn. When Brian fixed the machine, time went forward and Stewie was born (which would be a year before Susie was born).

Lois Kills Stewie (2) - S6-E6

Corrected entry: As Lois sprays the Oval Office with machine-gun fire, she hits all the Presidential portraits with bullets, but fixates on George W. Bush's, shredding it to pieces. A few scenes later, the GWB portrait is shown with just a few holes in it, hardly shredded.

Correction: As stated at the end of the episode it was only a simulation almost like a dream. Due to the programming of the simulation there could have been a flaw that caused the picture to fix itself.

Mind over Murder - S1-E4

Corrected entry: When Peter first has a piano in his bar, it's an upright model commonly seen in bars. The next night, it's a full sized Grand Piano. Given the width of the stairs, the size of the doorways, it seems unlikely to have been put down there without a considerable amount of effort.

Movie Nut

Correction: The whole area was transformed, a stage, extra lighting, etc. So, yes, a considerable amount of effort was done. Lois was excited to perform and conceivably hired a bunch of professionals to fix the area up (who are more than capable of bringing a piano down stairs and setting it up).

Long John Peter - S6-E13

Corrected entry: In the scene where Peter gets Chris a bullfrog you see him walk through the door on the right but when Peter tries to get the bullfrog out the window the door is replaced by the window.

Correction: The door does not move, we are just viewing the scene from a different angle.

MasterOfAll

E. Peterbus Unum - S2-E18

Corrected entry: The gas, electricity and water to Petoria have all been cut off, and there is no food in the house, yet all of these things are available and in use later at the big party attended by various world leaders.

Correction: The fact that the various world leaders were able to gain entry to Petoria, it would make sense that the world leaders might have brought food to the party. Even if not, the US army might have given them or allowed them to buy some basic foods. There was no sign of whether gas and electricity were turned back on. They were cooking on a charcoal barbecue and it was daylight during the party.

Lummie

Blind Ambition - S4-E3

Corrected entry: The sheet of toilet paper change numbers when Lois tears them off to put on the seat (right before she sees Quagmire peeping on her). She tears off three sheets, but they change to four when she puts them on the seat. (This happens on both sides of the seat).

Nick Bylsma

Correction: Louis tears off 3 sheets and puts them along the back. All other sheets she tears are of 4.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Connie: You know, Meg, there's no dogs allowed. So, you're going to have to leave. But Brian can stay.
Brian Griffin: You know, Connie, I think I have this theory about why you're such a bitch.
Connie: Excuse me?
Meg Griffin: Brian, let's just go.
Brian Griffin: No, no, no, no, no, no. Hang on a minute, Meg, hang on. You see, Connie, you're popular because you developed early and started giving handjobs when you were twelve. But now you can't stand to look in the mirror because all you see is a whore. So you pick on Meg to avoid the inevitable realization that once your body's used up by age nineteen, you're gonna be a worn out chalky skinned burlap sack that even your own stepdad won't want. How is that? Am I in the ballpark?
[Connie runs off crying].

Grumpy Old Man - S10-E9

Trivia: One of the cutaway gags is about someone who survived 9/11 because he was late for work watching late night football. Seth MacFarlane missed his flight, which would have been one of the flights to crash into the World Trade Center, because his agent had given him the incorrect departure time. The plane was scheduled to depart at 7:45 AM and his agent had told him it was departing at 8:15 AM. By the time Seth arrived the boarding had been closed and he was told he would have to catch a later flight.

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.
