There's Something About Paulie - S2-E16

Deliberate mistake: At the dealership, Lois pops the hood of the red car and shows there is no engine in the vehicle. She pulls out a paper that just has a drawing of an engine. Yet moments later, Peter is able to start the car and rev a nonexistent engine and drive it a couple of feet before the wheel falls off. (00:02:40)

The Story on Page 1 - S2-E19

Deliberate mistake: At the start of the episode, the family is watching a show called "Sherry and the Anus." When Sherry opens the door and walks in, there is a Star Wars poster hanging above Anus' dresser. However, it doesn't resemble Star Wars at all. The font is all wrong, the lettering is the wrong colour, and the ship on the front is some generic-looking spy plane and nothing like a Star Wars fighter. This was obviously done to avoid any copyright issues, as this was before the Lucas partnership later on. (00:00:07)

Yug Ylimaf - S11-E4

Deliberate mistake: The time machine reverting causes everything in life to go backwards. However, although the characters' actions are reversed, their dialogue is always spoken forwards and not backwards. (00:08:00)

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.

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.

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein - S3-E22

Peter Griffin: You better watch who you're calling a child Lois. Because if I'm a child then you know what that makes you? A paedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert.

Trivia: A Quahog is another name for a clam, thus all the jokes and places in town (like the drunken clam bar) the show makes reference about.

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.
