Continuity mistake: In many episodes throughout the series, whatever is written on the blackboard behind a teacher in a classroom always changes many times in different shots. Some words or pictures appear or disappear or change shape, features, etc.
Esteemsters - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Mr. O'Neill is talking to Daria and Jane, the board behind him has a bunch of arrows in a circle with a different word written next to each arrow. When the camera changes to a further angle with all three characters in the frame, the arrows remain on the board but all the words are completely gone - then appear again once the camera is close up to the board again.
Continuity mistake: In this episode, during the party, we see Tiffani (from the fashion club) for the first time, and when she speaks (just once in the episode), her voice is extremely different than the low monotone voice she has in later episodes. Here she sounds more Americanized and has a higher-sounding voice (similar to Stacy's).
Continuity mistake: As Jody is shown up close talking in the classroom, her hair (usually black) looks dark grey in this shot - then after a camera angle change with her further out, suddenly her hair is black once again.
Continuity mistake: When Daria and Kevin are talking in front of the lockers early in the episode, the lockers don't have any numbers on them like they normally do in other episodes.
Continuity mistake: The blackboard behind O'Neil has a face drawn on it with tears coming down on each side of the face. In some camera angles, three tears on each side are shown, and in other camera angles, only two are shown. This number of tears keeps alternating.
Continuity mistake: In the Season 1 episode "Too Cute," Quinn mentions to Sandy that Sandy picked out Quinn's outfit that she's wearing. This could not be possible as Quinn had that outfit (the same one she always wears in every episode) since BEFORE they moved to their current town and before the girls met anyone in their school they first went to in the first episode.
Continuity mistake: In the mall just before arriving at the doctor's office, Daria and Quinn walk by a business called "Butt Hut" and go fully past it, and then in a closer shot of the girls walking, they walk by "Butt Hut" again.
Continuity mistake: The two tablets that Helen made both first have the word "RULES" printed on the top, but in a later scene, one of the tablets says "CONT" on the top, and Daria then pushes it over, and we see the backside of that tablet completely blank. This is not possible as both tablets had the word "RULES", so seeing each side of one tablet without that word on it doesn't make sense.
Continuity mistake: When Daria first hops in the van, she bangs the top of her head on the wall of the door getting in, but later, when the bruise is shown from the incident, it is now on her lower forehead (just above her eyes). The bruise would have been much higher up according to where she first hit her head.
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, the girl in Jane's painting rests her head on her hands. In her reflection, her hands are turned outward on her chin even though she is sitting there with her hands turned inward.
That Was Then, This is Dumb - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: In the first scene in the kitchen, the clock properly has hands. In the rest of the scenes in the episode, the same clock has no hands at all.
Continuity mistake: When Daria is on the couch with her dad she's holding a mug but the next shot it's a glass. (00:15:39)
Fair Enough - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When the Morgandorffers are in the car on the way to the fair, the camera is on Helen and many red houses are out the window behind her; then instantly the camera is on Quinn (same side of the car behind Helen) and all you see out the window is trees (no red houses at all). Then instantly the camera is on both Quinn and Daria (in the back seats) and now the scenery behind Quinn is all red and blue houses and barely any trees. Basically, the scenery out the passenger side's not consistent.
Continuity mistake: Daria arrives at school without her glasses (her choice). When the scene changes to Mr. O'Neil's class, first shown from the back facing O'Neil and the backside of students, Daria (sitting on the left of the screen) is shown from behind and her glasses are showing on her face (as usual). When Daria is next shown talking close up in the remainder of the scene, she is without her glasses again.
Continuity mistake: In the living room scene (while Quinn is playing Operation and Daria is sitting on the couch), the phone and notebook appear to swap positions throughout the scene.
Continuity mistake: The crescent moon throughout the episode keeps changing sides. Sometimes the crescent is facing left and other times it’s facing right.
Continuity mistake: When Jane (who has blue eyes) first meets Tom and talks to him, her eyes become green at one point, then become blue again.
Continuity mistake: Inside the pizza restaurant, the front door opens on the opposite side compared to how it's designed from the outside.
The F Word - S4-E5
Continuity mistake: When the kids in the classroom are cheering, the map of the world on the wall shows South America slanted a bit sideways, but shortly after, when the class is over and the kids start to leave, South America is now shown the proper way.
Answer: "Mack Daddy" was a 90s phrase meaning "Ladies man," and Mack simply doesn't like the stupid nickname.
