Goodbye, Michael - S7-E21

Corrected entry: When Deangelo Vickers is found by Andy in the break room making a chocolate dessert on the coffee hot plate, Deangelo panics and slides the dessert off into the trash can with his left hand. Then when he exits the room he hits the wall above the door frame with his right hand, leaving chocolate smudges.

Correction: After having just watched this scene, his hands are off camera long enough for him to have brought them together (likely in anxiousness, since he almost reneged on his promise to himself to not eat junk food, and he was having a little trouble getting into the rhythm of the office).

Season 5 generally

Corrected entry: In Season 5, Jim is talking to Charles Miner and mentions that he is the number two in the office, and ultimately admits that this is a made up position. However, in Season 3, when Stamford is closing and being absorbed by Scranton, Jan specifically offers him the number two position in Scranton.

Correction: After Josh abandoned the company, Jim was offered this spot during the restructuring, as an incentive to make sure that he stayed at Dunder-Mifflin. Basically, this job was made up for him, as a promise that he would move on to higher positions of responsibility within the company, given time. Charles obviously doesn't like Jim, and doesn't want him to advance within the company, so he belittles Jim's "made up" position as an attempt to show Jim how little he values him.

The mistake is valid and it has nothing to do with Charles belittling Jim's position. Jan did offer the position of number two to Jim. At first he was going to be number two behind Josh, but when Josh left, corporate gave him the same offer, only behind Michael. Jim's position is completely different than the one given to Dwight, in addition, Jim says Michael offered him the number two position, which he didn't.

Bishop73

Correction: She says "oh there he is"... Watch it again and listen close.

Correction: That doesn't make sense that he wouldn't consider an outhouse with a toilet, walls and a door a bathroom but he would consider crouching down under his porch to squat over dirt, a bathroom...I think the initial correction is true.

Correction: Dwight might have not considered the outhouse a "real" bathroom because it only has a toilet and no plumbing.

The Alliance - S1-E4

Corrected entry: After Roy catches Jim and Pam too close for his comfort, Jim reveals The Alliance joke. Then we see Dwight with the interview cam, while he has blonde hair. He had his normal hair just after the incident. There would be no reason for him to think that he needs to dye his hair at that point, since he had found out that Jim was messing with him.

Correction: Dwight had already applied the peroxide. It took time to bleach out.

Correction: After Jim explains himself, Dwight still gets his hair dyed, meaning he still believed that Jim was genuine with him.

Last Day in Florida - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: Toby competes with Darryl to sell Girl Scout cookies. Toby says it's his daughter's first year selling them. However, earlier in the series, Toby agrees to sign Dwight's apology letter from corporate if he buys cookies from his daughter.
