Continuity mistake: In the flashback when Peter fights Ernie the Giant Chicken, Peter gets knocked off the top of an eighteen wheeler and grabs the second rung at the bottom of the truck's ladder. But when the truck driver sees the pair in his side view mirror, Peter is hanging off the top of the ladder. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: When Meg is putting down traps for Joe, she puts down a lot. Then when the Griffens leave and the giant rat comes, there are only a few. Then when Joe says "bring it on," there are a lot again. (00:11:00)
Continuity mistake: The position of the hole on the leg of Meg's pants changes. In the scene where Meg is putting the mouse traps around Joe, the hole is on the right side. When they arrive at the house with Randy Newman and Meg is telling Peter that the Twinkee factory in Natick may not even exist, the hole is on the left side. This happens again throughout the episode. (00:10:55 - 00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: When Peter drinks the water after having all the dehydrated meals, he expands. Then in the next 'shot' he is much bigger, even though there is no time for him to have expanded further. (00:09:05)
Continuity mistake: When Peter and Brian are entering the Channel 5 Studio, we see a far view of Tom and Diane eating. The torn right sleeve (close to her hand) from the far shot shows that it reaches her elbow. In the close up shot, the sleeve doesn't go to her elbow. (00:09:20)
Audio problem: When Brian says "Well so much for finding food at the Stop 'n' Shop", his mouth doesn't move. (00:09:10)
