He's Too Sexy for His Fat - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Just before the pest control team leaves for the Griffins', we see the black team member holding a shotgun in his hand. After showing Logan in shot, it returns to the black member and he's now holding what looks to be an MP5 machine gun. In the following shot as he starts to slide down the pole, the gun is once again a shotgun. (00:04:00)

Continuity mistake: At the pool when Chris doesn't want to take his shirt off, Peter climbs out of the pool to ask if he's hiding bruises. Behind Peter is a blonde woman in a purple one-piece swimsuit standing next to a man in a green speedo. Then, after Lois walks up and is talking to him, the close-up of her shows a bunch of people behind her, including the same blonde woman in a purple one-piece now standing next to a different man in blue swim trunks.

Continuity mistake: As Peter is about to demonstrate what he'd do to embarrass Chris next to the diving board, there is a blond woman in a purple one-piece behind him as Meg walks up. He grabs his nipple/moob, and then in the close-up just before he licks it, suddenly the blonde woman vanishes, and the people behind him multiply. (00:06:55)

Continuity mistake: Lois hands Chris a plate of steamed vegetables at the dinner table, and he's holding a fork and knife. Just before she says, "Oh honey, it's good for you," Chris sets the fork down and has the knife lifted in the air. Then, in the next shot, suddenly the knife is on the table and he's using the fork on the food. Also, Lois goes from having her hand on his shoulder to her arms at her sides. (00:08:45)

Continuity mistake: After Peter gets liposuction, he walks into the kitchen all skinny and stands next to the fridge. There is a to-do list note on the freezer door of the fridge. The episode cuts to black (for commercial break), then comes back to Peter standing by the fridge and now the to-do list has vanished. (00:12:10)

Continuity mistake: In the Griffin home establishing shot just before Peter enters the house with new muscles, it shows the walkway to the front door and mailbox is clear of any obstacles. Yet a minute later, Lois pushes Stewie out the front door on a wagon, and he rolls down the walkway, crashing into some trashcans that have suddenly appeared behind the mailbox.

Continuity mistake: After Peter becomes muscular, he goes to the store. In the first shot inside the store, we get a clear look at the register and checkout line, with the area surrounding the checkout. After Warren Fredericks approaches him to cut forward in line, another shot of the checkout now suddenly shows a snack shelf display next to the checkout line that was not there previously.

Continuity mistake: Once Peter comes home with hunky muscles, Lois starts pushing the kids out of the front door. Stewie is in a wagon beside the threshold of the door, and he turns his head to look at Lois next to him as she pushes Chris and Meg outside. In the next shot, suddenly Stewie is now directly in front of the door, with Lois in front of him, and his head has turned again. (00:15:50)

Continuity mistake: Peter brings Chris to the front door of the beautiful people club, and Warren steps out to greet them. There is a shadow cast on the sidewalk by the awning, and in the first shot, Peter and Chris are both standing in the shadow. In the next shot, suddenly Chris is no longer in shadow, Peter is at the very edge of the shadow, and Warren is much further away from the front door. (00:18:55)

Continuity mistake: After Peter falls into a vat of lard, he is in the hospital bandaged up with a tray table over his bed. As the doctor moves closer and it cuts to a close-up, suddenly Peter's eye is visible through the bandage. Also, a strange metal handle thing appears next to one of his cups. (00:20:20)

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.

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.
