Continuity mistake: Several episodes in season 4 have scenes that take place immediately after the events of the final episode of season 3. However, the 7 years that passed in real life between seasons 3 and 4 are made apparent by the appearance of some characters. Notably Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat who had visibly matured out of their teenage years, and Portia de Rossi, who had plastic surgery on her face.

Continuity mistake: Throughout Gob and Michael's conversation in the kitchen, the sandwich on the counter keeps changing position without being touched.
Barry Zuckerkorn: So basically you're about 2,000 shares short of being the majority stock holders. Now unfortunately it's a private stock so you can not just buy up the shares unless someone is willing to sell
Michael: Are you sure?
Barry Zuckerkorn: That's what it said on 'Ask Jeeves'.
Trivia: Dr. Stein is played by Dan Castellaneta, famous for playing Homer Simpson on "The Simpsons". When Stein admits his diagnosis of Michael's appendectomy was wrong, he uses Homer's trademark catchphrase "D'oh!".
