Barely Legal - S5-E8

Revealing mistake: Every time Cleveland's tub slides out of the house, there's never any plumbing attached to it. It just sits on top of the floor so it slides out easily. In this episode its very easy to see. (00:02:50)

No Chris Left Behind - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: Peter says "Oh crap" as soon as he realises Ernie the Giant Chicken is looking at him in the window.

Saving Private Brian - S5-E4

Airport '07 - S5-E12

Other mistake: As Quagmire sits at the bar, Hugh Hefner comes and gives him a pep talk. During it, he says John Holmes said Glen Quagmire is the best pilot. Unless he had seen the news or knew him personally, Hefner couldn't have called Quagmire by name.

Movie Nut

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.
