The Birthday Bootlegger - S20-E8

Other mistake: Stella is deaf and lip-reads. When Preston announces he can allow office birthdays again, Stella immediately cheers at the exact same time as everyone else, but from the camera angle, Preston is standing in front of Stella and facing away from her.

There's Something About Paulie - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: During scenes with Paulie, in a few shots the two rings Paulie is wearing on his left hand disappear/reappear, and the mole on Paulie's face also vanishes in a couple of shots. Some examples: (1) After Paulie's remark about a coke mule, Lois says, "Peter, living room," then Paulie's mole and rings disappear. (2) While Paulie and Peter are sitting on the swing, Paulie's two rings vanish when the swing collapses. (3) Following the hail of bullets, when Paulie turns and falls onto the puddle, the rings are gone. (00:12:00)

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)

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)

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

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: 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.

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

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)

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

Factual error: Peter starts helping Chris work out, and in the second part, Chris is trying to do pull-ups on a bar outside. In the first shot, there is an unlit campfire under his feet, and he even appears to be standing on it. In the next shot, Peter walks around him and Chris starts lifting. Peter says, "Feel the burn," and sprays fuel on the campfire spot. Suddenly, the fire is lit, without Peter having actually lit it. Just spraying lighter fluid on wood doesn't start a fire.

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

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)

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

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: 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.

Death Has a Shadow - S1-E1

Other mistake: After Stewie gets his toy back from the cupboard, Lois and Peter walk into the kitchen. Lois asks Peter, "Since when are you so concerned about our food budget?", and in the next shot of Peter, the buttons on his shirt are missing; then they reappear in his next close-up. (00:10:01)

Death Has a Shadow - S1-E1

Other mistake: After the scene of the family watching Philadelphia at the movie theatre, Peter promises Lois that not a drop of alcohol is going to touch his lips. In this shot, Peter's buttons are on the left side of his shirt instead of the right like they should be. (00:03:39)

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].

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.
