A Taste of Freedom - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: In one of the first shots at the Freedom Day celebration in front of the Lincoln Memorial, we see a banner, with the text "Freedom Day - Express yourself. I hate my job.", suspended between to poles. Some of the banner can also be seen during the first part of Nixon's speech. But when it gets time to lower "Old Freebie" (the flag) the banner has disappeared and the flag is lowered into the position where the banner hung before. And the banner was tied to the two poles so they can't have raised it. (00:02:20 - 00:04:35)

Bend Her - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Right at the end, Bender is smoking a cigar and says something like "Emotions should be hated." In the very next shot when he has stood up, the cigar has vanished from his hand and there isn't anywhere he would have put it down.

A Taste of Freedom - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: On board the Nimbus where Zapp asks for the activation codes for the global defense network, it immediately after cuts to a shot of Kif Saying "Aye Aye sir". In the background of the shot sit two ship crew members, the brown haired one on the left disappears in the following shot. (00:13:50)

Three Hundred Big Boys - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: When Bender is being filmed stealing the cigar, we see the "robocop" showing the footage on his screen. In the wide angle you can see he has the siren on top of his head, then in the next shot it's suddenly not there. Then he actually raises it out of his head in the final angle.

Jurassic Bark - S5-E2

Factual error: During the flashback of 2000, Fry's family is watching the Rose Bowl. Fry's mom, a Wisconsin fan, shouts "touchdown!" Then we see the score on the TV. Wisconsin 9. Standford 3. 2nd Quarter. However, Wisconsin never led 9-3 and didn't score a TD until the 3rd quarter. It was Standford that had the 9-3 lead in the 2nd quarter.

The Route of All Evil - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: In the establishing shot of the science lab, Hermes' son is seen sitting next to a window made up of lots of panes. When he exclaims "My Manwich!", the window in the background is missing. (00:01:40)

The Sting - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When Fry, Leela, and Bender make it back to the ship, Fry's hair is messed up. When the bee is unfolding itself, Fry shouts "Look out!" and his hair isn't messed up. Then when he says the bee will have to go through him, his hair is messed up again.

Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles - S5-E7

Factual error: When Professor Farnsworth visits the Bubbling Geezer to receive youthasizing treatment, the trained professional Heather says "botulism toxin tightens and tones facial muscles." Botulism is the actual poisoning, not the toxin. Botulinum toxin causes muscle paralysis which weakens the muscle, not tightening and toning of the muscles.

Answer: You are thinking about episode 20 of series 2 - "Anthology of Interest I". She technically never kills anyone, but in the episode she ask a "What if machine" (one of the Professor's inventions) what would happen if she was more impulsive. The machine then shows the more impulsive Leela killing off the Professor to get the money from his will and thereafter killing Hermes, Bender, Scruffy, Cubert, Nibler, Amy and Zoidberg to cover it up. Finally she does something really impulsive with Fry.
