Season 1 generally

Corrected entry: It doesn't make any sense that the Dean would simply replace Chang with an actual Spanish teacher. It's ridiculous to assume that they would have learned what they should have with a fake teacher, even if he was convincing. What really should have happened was what happened at the end of Season 3, where their credit was annulled and they'd have to retake the course.

Correction: This is not a plot hole. The dean hired a new Spanish teacher to assess if the class has sufficient knowledge to pass, hence the test they take. The only reason they really passed is because it is implied Pierce seduced her. Any school would at least attempt to get the students through the year without failing their language, or it would look even worse on the school.

Correction: That was his intention all along. He adores Jeff and always wants to either touch or impress him, so it's nothing out of the ordinary for his character.

Debate 109 - S1-E9

Corrected entry: During the first debate, you can see the Human Being mascot in the bottom right side of the screen. When Jeff and Annie are walking out of the gym though, the Human Being is walking towards the gym. (00:09:15 - 00:10:05)

Correction: The last time we see the mascot is when they're announcing the scores. After that, the basketball team comes in and the debate is postponed. After that it cuts to Jeff and Annie walking out of the gym. However, the mascot is not walking towards the gym, he's walking down the hallway. Not only did he have plenty of time to get there, he could have simply walked out of the gym from a different exit and was heading in the opposite direction, as many other students were.

Correction: On the break a striped ("bigs") ball goes in, however we see Jeff shoot solids throughout the rest of the game. It is the coach who is shooting the striped balls, not Jeff.

Social Psychology - S1-E4

Corrected entry: In the final scene, when the camera pans from Vaughn's group to follow Jeff, the statue of Luis Guzman can be seen in the background, despite not being revealed until the following episode.

Correction: The statue existed at that point in time. The absence of a cover on it does not make it a mistake.

Physical Education - S1-E17

Corrected entry: It's obvious that the coach is strict about wearing the P.E. uniform in class, but when Jeff agrees to play pool in shorts, none of the students the coach is playing pool with behind him are wearing the uniform.

Correction: The scene doesn't take place in gym class. In the P.E. Room, the pool table has a red felt, this one they play on has a green felt. They're at a student lounge (with tables, stools, and vending machines) outside of class.

Interpretive Dance - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: You can see the play director telling a pianist with grey hair to "play something modern." About twenty seconds later when Britta throws her tea hat off towards the pianist, however, it's an entirely different piano player now, that has brown/black hair. (00:17:10)

Trivia: The character Annie Edison was originally written to be either Asian or Latino, but Alison Brie did so well in her audition that she was cast. The character of "Annie Kim" (sometimes referred to as "Asian Annie") is essentially an inside joke, as she is an Annie-Edison-like character portrayed by an Asian actress as Annie was originally conceived, and serves as a "rival" to Edison throughout seasons 3-6.

Laws of Robotics & Party Rights - S6-E5

Question: Something I don't get... If Willy the prisoner is not really a killer, as revealed in the climax, then why did he try to literally kill Jeff earlier? It goes against the whole joke of the episode - that Willy is actually a fairly harmless fraud who never actually killed anyone despite his claims. He was just sort-of a loser who built a mystique around the fact he was (wrongfully) convicted of murder. The fact that he did try to kill Jeff therefore just doesn't quite add up in my head.

Answer: His attempt to "kill" Jeff was to roll at him as an iPad on a stick. He knew it wouldn't work, but it played to the story that he was a killer as he knew Jeff would tell people about it, or attempt to retaliate for it.
