Dick and the Other Guy (2) - S3-E23
Audio problem: When Liam is performing karaoke at the end of the episode, his mouth is not even moving for some of the lyrics, and there aren't any vocal tracks on the song, because only the instruments are heard when he abruptly stops singing to admonish the crowd for trying to leave during his performance.
Sally and Don's First Kiss - S3-E24
Factual error: When Dick is purchasing his lunch, the cashier tells him the total is $3.75 and he incredulously lays down another coin because he thought his total was going to be $3.50. When he walks away with his tray, you can see that he paid for the meal with 4 coins. Unless he paid with silver dollars (the Sacajawea dollar had not been minted yet) then there is no way he could have covered the $3.75 with just 4 coins. And if he did pay with silver dollars then it would have been completely out of character for him to not have gotten any change, seeing how the show has established him as a cheapskate, as well as he would definitely get change seeing as how upset he was at having to pay an additional 25 cents for his meal.
Continuity mistake: When the baby Is in the ball pit you can see that he is at the edge. When they show him again he is in the middle, the last time they show him he is at the edge again.
Continuity mistake: The dog that Harry brings home suddenly has a collar after Dick sets him down on the table. (00:02:40)
Continuity mistake: When the dog is on the table, the book on the right of the table changes position between shots without anyone touching it.
Continuity mistake: When Nina asks when Dick's birthday, is the papers on the back of her clipboard change position between shots.
Revealing mistake: Harry put his feet in a pot of warm chicken soup, yet at the end of that scene when they hug each other Harry lifts his feet up and you can see his socks are dry.
Visible crew/equipment: When Dick wants to go along with Mary to a wedding he tries to convince her. When he says "Whatever it takes, I'll do it" he walks forward. Take a look at the top of the screen and you'll notice the shadow of the boom mic on the wall following him.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the F.B.I. storm Dick's house, Charlotte's sleeves change length (i.e. being pulled up or like normal) throughout the entire scene. (00:20:00 - 00:20:30)
Factual error: Mary gives Dick directions to press Command-Q to close something. As Dick is using a Compaq computer which would be running Windows, he would not have a Command key and would instead have a Control key (which he actually is pressing) as the Command key exists only on Apple Macintosh computers. Ctrl+Q on a Windows machine doesn't do anything. (00:09:10)
Mary Loves Scoochie (1) - S6-E17
Revealing mistake: The sword fight between Dick and the Black Knight was sped up in order to make their movements look more competent. Note the extras in the background moving unusually fast.
Other mistake: In the scene where Don arrives at Dick's 'party', he looks at his non-existent watch. (00:13:25)
Continuity mistake: Dick hands Nina a box full of dishes and asks for them to be cleaned. She then drops the box on the ground where it lands upright. All of the dishes remain in the box. The next time it's seen a few seconds later, it's suddenly on its side with dishes scattered across the floor. None of the characters touch it and there is no sound indicating that it magically tipped over by itself.
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Dubcek says that she doesn't allow dogs because she is allergic to dogs, but in a later episode she claims that she doesn't allow dogs because she has 6 cats buried in the back yard.
Answer: The writers often have Dick respond to Mary with a retort that he thinks is in the common vernacular but makes a mistake in wording that is often funny. Dick seems to be imputing a criticism from Mary and responds with a corruption of the more common "I'm going to wear your ass like a hat!" I doubt it has anything to do with owing taxes. Probably just one of the writers assuming a common regional phrase would be universally recognized.
That makes total sense. I always interpreted it as perhaps snowshoes are an expensive item, and given that he was blaming Mary for his newfound financial woes, he was equating her living off his generosity and used snowshoeing as a metaphor.
