The Robbery - S4-E4
Plot hole: Towards the end, Jake (Shirley's boyfriend), hangs the girls on a coat rack by the hoods of their coats. They try a few comical ways of trying to escape, when they could have simply unbuttoned their coats and slip away.
Continuity mistake: Lenny wears an Army jacket and wears a bandage around his hand because of something he did in the Army Reserve. Unfortunately, he doesn't join the Army Reserve until the next episode.
Visible crew/equipment: As Sal is leaving the apartment after Laverne breaks up with him, the backstage is visible through the open door during one shot. (00:21:25)
The Bardwell Caper (2) - S6-E16
Visible crew/equipment: When Lenny and Squiggy dressed as trees are standing guard, and the dog comes up, you can see the dog trainer's shadow on the building to the left of Squiggy giving hand gestures to the dog as it starts to bark.
Continuity mistake: When everyone is at the couch thinking of a plan, the pillow behind Laverne changes position between shots.
Other mistake: Carmine throws the gun on the couch and it goes off. The bullet hits in the opposite direction the gun is pointing.
Festival (2) - S4-E2
Visible crew/equipment: In the final scene as the camera pulls out, the shadow of the camera and camera man can be seen.
Visible crew/equipment: When Lenny jumps over the counter the edge of the set can be seen.

Cruise (1) - S3-E6
Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the show, Shirley is ironing Laverne's clothes and leaves the room. The iron falls on Laverne's clothes on the "L" and burns it, When she picks up the iron, the "L" is on the bottom of the iron facing the normal way when, in fact, it should have been a reverse image.
Answer: After counting to 8, the next two words are yiddish. A "schlemiel" is an inept clumsy person. A "schlimazel" is a chronically unlucky person. For example, if you are in a restaurant, and you see a waiter spill soup on a customer, the schlemiel is the waiter who spilled the soup, and the schlimazel is the guy who got the soup spilled onto him (and the schmegeggie - not part of the chant - is the doormat who gets stuck paying the check!). Hasenpfeffer is a traditional German stew made from marinated rabbit. Pfeffer is not only the name of a spice, but also of a dish where the animal's blood is used as a gelling agent for the sauce. All of it is just a silly phrasing that's part of a children's game.
