Family Guy (1999)

30 corrected entries in season 3

(27 votes)

Correction: That's the whole point. It wasn't supposed to be realistic or logical.

Correction: Kind of obvious - not really trivia.

Correction: The weird character is the one the El-Dorado company hired to stand next to Meg and she does at all times. Stewie is never seen in his high chair as he is having a massage.

Ssiscool

Correction: So similar in fact, that it is the whole reason they had Stewie doing it in the first place. The sequence is a spoof of William Shatner's performance. Pointing out jokes in the show cannot be classed as trivia.

Correction: Paul's star is always on his right eye. It may just look like it is wrong since it's on the left side of the screen, but because he's facing forward, that his his right side. You can see when he and Gene turn their back in disgust that the Star is on the right hand side (since now the viewer and he are "facing" the same way).

Death Lives - S3-E6

Corrected entry: When Peter is in the van with Cleveland, Cleveland's voice is slow and how it normally is, except it shouldn't be. In another episode, Peter recounted that Cleveland was an auctioneer and was hit with an antique which made his voice slow.

curiouskid

Correction: Being a caller at an auction is a skill that needs to be learned. Since Cleveland originally spoke slowly, it's more likely that he began to speak faster once trained as an auctioneer, but the antique hitting him made him revert to his normal slow speaking voice.

Death Lives - S3-E6

Corrected entry: In the flashback scene where Peter meets Lois' father, Peter openly farts in anxiety. However, it was discovered in the previous season, when Peter gets his breast examined, that Peter had gas for the first time when he was 30. In this season, it is noted that Peter and Lois have been married for 17 years, and that Peter is 42. That would make Peter at most 25 when he first meets his father-in-law to be, 5 years before he first experienced passing gas.

Correction: It's doubtful that Peter really farted for the first time at age 30. He makes a lot of immature jokes and was probably kidding about this. If you took this seriously, you'd have to take a lot of the other outrageous things in the show seriously, too.

Correction: If you play it in slo-mo, you can see that he DOES hit it, but I'll admit that it doesn't look like it when played at normal speed.

European Road Show - S3-E20

Corrected entry: Lois refers to Gene Simmons by the name Chaim Witz, and they both say they knew each other and had sex together before Gene became famous. But the name "Chaim Witz" was the name Gene used in Israel as a child. According to his autobiography, when he came to New York as an eight-year-old, his name was changed to Gene Klein, and he never used the name "Chaim" in the US. Lois could not have known him when he went by the name Chaim Witz, and could certainly not have had sex with him at the time.

Twotall

Correction: He couldn't have told her his birth name? Perhaps she preferred it to Gene Klein, or was showing off her detailed knowledge of Simmons early life.

Screwed The Pooch - S3-E13

Corrected entry: When Peter is in the art gallery, he rubs out an eye on a Picasso picture and redraws it with a pencil. The eye he draws is white with a black outline and a blue iris, yet he only uses the one pencil.

Correction: The scene is entirely within Peter's fevered imagination. Anything can happen.

Correction: This is a mistake on the DVD cover, and is not a movie mistake.

To Live and Die in Dixie - S3-E12

Corrected entry: A mistake in the subtitles: As Stewie yells, 'I've got blisters on me fingers.' after singing 'My big old fat ass baby', the subtitles read: "Imitates John Lennon." It is widely argued, but McCartney and Starr claim that it was Starr who said that, after a particularly vigorous rehearsal for Beatles song, 'Helter Skelter'.

Correction: You've missed the point of Stewie's actions - he is imitating John Lennon (whose voice is completely different to Ringo's) regardless of who said the line in real life.

Brian Does Hollywood (2) - S3-E2

Corrected entry: In the action scene at the beginning, Stewie is shooting a helicopter and it blows up, making Stewie fall through a glass-top building. We see him fall through from the inside of the building, but the helicopter is nowhere in sight.

Correction: Fairly obvious that this scene is happening in Stewie's imagination. The rules don't apply.

Correction: We can assume that since Nate is Peter's relative, that they are both complete idiots and he would not know the difference, which is why it is written this way deliberately. Besides, this is a character's mistake, not the show's mistake.

From Method to Madness - S3-E18

Corrected entry: When Stewie is trying to play the french horn, the music score written on the wall behind him makes no sense. One line is two and a half beats long, and the next line is four beats. There are no measure lines anywhere.

Correction: This is a school for young children, it is quite possible one of them drew that music score, not knowing too much about what to do. In fact, it could have been Stewie, who's just a baby.

Death Lives - S3-E6

Corrected entry: When Death and Peter get into a fight outside the pet store, Death controls his severed arm to poke Peter in the eyes. However, Peter is wearing glasses. His eyes could not have possibly been poked unless his glasses, for some reason, did not have lenses in them.

Correction: In another episode Stewie breaks Meg's glasses and Peter tells her that "Nobdy needs glasses". Meg says "But YOU wear glasses" and Peter replies "That's just to fool the man from the draft board..." So maybe his glasses DON'T have lenses in - it's something so stupid and pointless that it fits Peter's character perfectly.

Gary O'Reilly

Correction: Much like in soda, foam will naturally dissipate from beer if it sits untouched, particularly in light beers.

The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8

Corrected entry: When Peter pretends to play the keyboard in the toy store, a man takes exception to it. When the Griffins are back in the parking lot, the man has spray painted the word "Phony" on their station wagon. The man just met Peter two minutes earlier, how would he know which vehicle to spray paint? (00:01:20 - 00:02:15)

Reservoir Dog

Correction: If you watch the very first episode (I Never Met the Dead Man) you can see the phony guy, working on a new toy at the toy factory, where Peter also works. So they probably know each other from work.

Screwed The Pooch - S3-E13

Corrected entry: Peter and Carter Pewterschmidt, Lois's father, are in a game of Texas hold 'em poker with Michal Eisner, Bill Gates and Ted Turner. After some betting, Carter shows his hand, as does Ted. The problem is that anyone who has ever seen Texas hold 'em knows that they are not playing correctly. Each player has two cards to themselves and five community cards. It might be minor, but why mention a specific game such as hold 'em then not follow the basic rules of the game?

Correction: Texas Hold 'em was the first hand Peter dealt but the hand Carter and Ted are playing is much later in the night, it ends up being the last hand. They may have switched to five card draw to keep things interesting.

Correction: Because stabbing someone with a candy cane at Christmas had more poetic flare.

Xofer

Road to Germany - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: After getting the uranium, Stewie places it in the time pad and then puts the pad in his jacket pocket. After being confronted by Hitler who promises to spare them if they sing a musical number, Mort interrupts them, and it's seen that he is now standing on the time pad.

More trivia for Family Guy

Answer: Mort is Jewish, and Walt Disney was said to be antisemitic. So it would make sense in a Disney universe all the inhabitants would share his supposed beliefs.
