The Meeting - S6-E2

Character mistake: When Dwight and Toby drive by Darryl's house to investigate his injury, a New York Yankees sign is on the front porch of Darryl's home. Throughout the show, however, it is strongly implied that Darryl is a Philadelphia Phillies fan. This is a character contradiction. (00:10:19)

The Promotion - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: When Kevin is writing Pam a check, he flips it open so the check register is folded under the checks. After he says "wait till Monday", the check register is no longer folded under the checks.

Niagara - S6-E4

Character mistake: When it briefly shows the sign for their wedding rehearsal dinner, they spell Jim's last name wrong. The sign reads "Beesly-Halpret" wedding rehearsal dinner, not Halpert. (00:11:00)

Niagara - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When Dwight is talking to the kids, he picks up one fry. In the shot of him from behind, he's holding two fries. It goes back to one fry when he takes a bite.

Bishop73

Mafia - S6-E5

Plot hole: When Jim's bank calls his office, Kevin is there and ends up pretending to be Jim. The Banker automatically assumes that he is not in Puerto Rico only from asking his address and social security number. It would have been very plausible for him to have forwarded the number to his cell phone, where the same scenario could conceivably occur (since The Banker refused to listen when Kevin tried to correct her).

The Lover - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: When Jim is outside comforting Pam after she finds out her mother is dating Michael, he begins to explain a mallard recording device that Dwight gave to him and used a big hand motion that put his hand in the air. In the next shot, the hand that was in the air is now gripping his coffee cup.

Double Date - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: In Fun Run (4-1) when Michael hits Meredith in the parking lot, it is said by him that it was on company property, but in this episode Pam says that the hit in the parking lot will be off company property.

The Manager and the Salesman - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: When Michael enters the room he messes with Jim's hair and Jim's hair is noticeably different, however a few different camera angles later Jim's hair is back to normal even though he couldn't have possibly had time to touch it. (00:09:10 - 00:09:50)

Happy Hour - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: When Michael is doing press-ups Angela is sat, then she stands to see what's going on - away from her chair, it cuts to another shot, and she is sat down again.

Michael Scott: This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here.

E-Mail Surveillance - S2-E9

Question: When Angela is buying the Baby Ruths, most of the other candies are turned backwards (I assume to avoid product placement). But above the Baby Ruth is one with the name facing forward that looks like it's called "Picaroon." Is this a real candy bar that's local to the Scranton area or just completely made up? If it's made up, any inside information about where the name came from or if there's an inside joke or show reference to it?

Bishop73

Answer: In the 2007 episode "Ben Franklin" when Jim is talking to Pam there is a candy bar with a purple wrapper that says "Picar-" I assume picaroon, it's hard to see past Pam. I found this trying to investigate what that candy bar is lol.

Answer: There does not appear to be a real candy bar by that name. The word is real, however. It refers to someone who is a rogue, a scoundrel, a thief, or an otherwise dubious character.
