The Story on Page 1 - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Stewie enters the Chemistry Lab at the university and is stopped by a professor. In the background is an anatomy diagram of a human body. Between shots, lots of the detail disappears, including a blue circle, some organs, several lines of text, and the orange and green circles change size, shape and position. (00:03:24)

Continuity mistake: After Peter tries to bribe the admission at the University, he, Lois, and Meg sit down on a waiting couch as Lois says she had friends who got shot at her old school. There is a painting of a yellow building on the wall above and behind them. It has 8 windows at the top. In the next shot, it just has 7 windows at the top. Also, the bushes and road are drawn a little differently with less road visible through the bottom bush. (00:02:08)

Continuity mistake: The family is standing outside the gate of Brown University, and their car is on the left, parked just off to the side behind Meg. In the next shot, the car vanishes. You can tell where it was supposed to be by the position of the white lines on the road, meaning no, it's not just off camera. Where the line is shown, the front of the car should be visible behind Meg. (00:01:19)

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)

Other mistake: When Peter sits down with Mayor West to discuss terms, West says, "Thank you all for coming." As he does, he tilts his head down and the bottom half of his nose disappears until he moves his head again. (00:20:38)

Continuity mistake: At the pool party with the other world leaders in Joe's pool, Achmed is cooking on the grill and Stewie is standing on a blue stool next to him. Moments later, in a closer shot of Achmed, the stool Stewie is on is suddenly brown with grey legs. (00:18:18 - 00:18:58)

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen after Petoria is cut off from the world, the fridge is shown with two notes on the freezer door next to the handle with scribbled writing on them. After Stewie takes a dump in his newspaper diaper, it cuts to a different closer angle, and now the writing on the notes has vanished. Usually in animation, details being lost in a further out shot is normal; however, this is details lost in a closer angle. (00:17:42)

Continuity mistake: When Chris tells Peter that some guy won't let him go to school, Peter turns so that his front doorway threshold is to his right. But then, when it cuts to the next shot with Peter asking "him and what army?", suddenly his back is to the doorway again. (00:14:07)

Continuity mistake: In the Ulysses S. "Griffin" cutaway gag, just when Griffin and Lee go to start chugging their beer, the soldier behind Griffin suddenly goes from brown hair to blonde. The soldiers also get closer together between shots. (00:10:04)

Revealing mistake: After Peter's encounter with Mayor West, we have the family standing next to the sidewalk in their front yard. Lois walks up holding Stewie, and now you can see there is a perspective error in the animation as next to Lois the mailbox looks comically small, barely big enough to put a stapler in. (00:08:11)

Continuity mistake: Peter enters Adam West's office, and the words "Adam West Mayor" are on the door. Adam West then tackles Peter to the ground and starts punching him in the next shot. During that moment, part of the letters are still seen, and the "OR" at the end of "MAYOR" is noticeably much smaller, and the "R" is a different shape. (00:06:45)

Other mistake: When Peter is digging a hole in his back yard, he uses his shovel to cut the power supply to all of Quahog. We see Joe watching TV and Quagmire messing with his sex doll. The power cuts off, and so then Joe's TV turns off and Quagmire's doll turns off. However, the lights in the rooms they are in stay on. The power being cut would have turned off the lights also.

Continuity mistake: When Peter sits down at the desk in the IRS office, there is a pen and what appears to be a business card on the corner of the desk next to where he’s sitting. After Miss Stratford says she farted, it cuts to a frontal angle of Peter, and suddenly the pen and business card have disappeared. (00:03:07)

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.

Brian Sings & Swings - S4-E19

Question: In this episode Meg pretends to be a lesbian, when she calls herself a 'mega lesbian' it shows four other 'mega lesbians' singing something on deep voices. What song are they singing? Is it a real song?

strikeand

Chosen answer: It's a real song called "Elvira". Originally by Dallas Fraizer in '66, however, this version seems to be the Oak Ridge Boys cover version. However, the mega lesbians skip the verse and just sing the chorus after the opening line.
