Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: The morning after the dog show, Peter and Chris are watching the news in the kitchen. Peter has a plate in front of him with two eggs and bacon on it. It is turned so that it makes almost a smiley face with the bacon towards his arm and the eggs crooked to the side. In the next shot from a different angle showing Lois in the kitchen, the plate rotates so now the egg and bacon smile is directly facing Peter. (00:10:27)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As the cop is telling Peter that leash laws are for Brian's own good, he points his pen at Peter with one hand, holding his clipboard in the other. It cuts to a different angle mid sentence and suddenly the cop is ripping the ticket out of his clipboard and his pen has vanished. (00:09:44)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the dog show, the next establishing shot is the family car driving down the road past a fence, a blue building, and a pink building. Immediately after, the shot cuts to inside the car and suddenly the fence is gone, and the blue building has turned yellow with other buildings changing or appearing. (00:07:57)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: At the dog show, Stewie starts to try to get out of his stroller before asking Meg to push him into a lake. The person on the right of the screen as he's struggling is only seen from the calves down, and is wearing blue pants and black shoes. After Meg gets up and says she'll find him a juice box, the people behind Stewie do not match up with this at all. And then in the next close up of him, there are identical legs in the same position as before, but now with black pants and white shoes. (00:06:42)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Lois gives Brian a new collar for the show, he turns to thank her and in the reflection of the mirror, we see there is a cabinet and the shower curtain on the right side of the room. Then after she leaves the room and he puts eye drops in, the reflection is shown again and suddenly the cabinet and shower are on the left side of the room. (00:05:32)

Brian: Portrait of a Dog - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Peter said he tried to go on a game show, it cuts away to a scene of Jeopardy with the man at the stand holding a card. When it cuts to a close up of the man, the position of his fingers shift downward on the card, and his wrist is turned down. (00:04:14)

The Son Also Draws - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the head Native American is saying he wishes he had a spiritual vision also, there is just his right hand man beside him and the Indian in the grey suit to his other side with nobody directly behind him. When the camera cuts to a wide angle from more of a distance, suddenly the fat Indian with the cigar appears behind him, then vanishes again in the next shot. (00:20:04)

The Son Also Draws - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Native Americans make ghost sounds at Peter and Lois scaring them out of the office, the chair on the right side of the screen is empty. It cuts to Peter and Lois turning to run out of the door for a split second, then back to the Native Americans in a different angle. Suddenly that chair that was empty now has an Native American in a grey suit sitting there. (00:15:44)

The Son Also Draws - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: In the car, Peter talks about how he shouldn't have had that prune smoothie. Suddenly their car has no rear window, and the ceiling of the car is completely different with lines going everywhere and extending back down over where the rear window used to be. (00:09:24)

The Son Also Draws - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Peter picks up the phone to call the Scout leaders and points his finger up in the air. In the side shot, it's just his finger extended up, but when it cuts to a closer angle, suddenly his thumb is extended outward as well. (00:07:00)

The Son Also Draws - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: On the couch, Lois tells Peter that maybe Chris is the one that should be earning that badge. As she does, Peter's arm is down at his side and her hand is resting on it. It then cuts to his reaction and suddenly his arm is out in front of him with no time between shots.

I Never Met the Dead Man - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Peter comes back into the room after the TV comes on and is wanting to take the family to the folk festival, he stands at the end of the couch with his back to the window. You can see their front door off to the side behind him but not close enough. When it cuts to a different angle, suddenly the door is right behind him, then the window again when it cuts back. (00:17:10)

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.

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].

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.
