Starring: Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall

Genres: Comedy

Bottom's Up - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Richie and Eddie are on the roof and Richie starts his rain dance, watch the bottom of his trousers. To start of with he pulls the hem up to around his shins. He then starts and pulls his groin or something and stops and at this point the right hand trouser falls back down his leg. Then straight afterwards in the long shot you can see that it's back up again without him pulling it up.

Gas - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Eddie tries to electrocute the gas man, he shocks him on his bare chest. In the next shot, the gas man's tie has moved back to the centre of his chest. (00:13:45)

Dwarf

Accident - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Richie is telling the other 3 guys to go to the corner, he still has his hands on the wheels of his chair. But when the shot changes and Richie says "if you need the toilet then put your hand up", his arms are crossed around his waist.

Accident - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Richie falls off the ladder, it's apparent from the way he falls that he lands on his front (you just see his leg pop into shot) and that his head would be pointing towards the camera. However, instantly in the next shot we see him on his back with his head towards the wall.

Gas - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Eddie says they are playing with a deck of 12 cards, his sleeve is half covering his watch. In the next shot the sleeve has moved much further down his arm. (00:02:10)

Dwarf

Bottom's Up - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Eddie goes down to fight the looters the sky is totally blue. But all of 2 minutes later when he comes back on the roof, the sky is totally grey. Not a chance could that happen so quickly.

Hole - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Eddie says that the fairground music reminded him of his dads funeral. But in many of the other episodes Eddie says that he has no idea who his father was.

Richie: Well Eddie, we learn something new every day. Today I learned that you're a complete bastard!

Culture - S2-E3

Trivia: Perhaps an odd bit of Trivia, but Dr. O'Grady's treatment ("have your personal organ enhanced so that it comparable in size to a fully grown mountain gorilla") is not as big a ripoff as it sounds. A fully grown gorilla has an erect penis length of around 1.5 inches (on average).
