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: 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: The crescent moon throughout the episode keeps changing sides. Sometimes the crescent is facing left and other times it’s facing right.
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).
Revealing mistake: In every episode, the windows in both the kitchen and living room areas never reveal any scenery outside them during the day or any reflections from the inside at night.
Continuity mistake: When the band is sound-checking just before the party, the clock behind Trent has no hands on it. Then when the party starts, the clock has hands once again.
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: 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.
Other mistake: In one scene in this episode, the clock on the kitchen wall (behind Jake) does not have any hands.
Factual error: When people are dancing around the car that Daria and Tom are sitting in, the crescent moon is shown in the night sky in the background over the horizon, with the crescent facing upwards away from the horizon. This would be impossible as the crescent can only face down into the horizon at night (never away from it).
The New Kid - S2-E7
Plot hole: In the season two episode 'The New Kid,' Daria and Jane are discussing The New Kid in gym class when a girl takes a nasty spill from a trampoline. Later, Daria and The New Kid are heard remarking about photos taken of that particular fall despite there having been no photographers present.
Answer: "Mack Daddy" was a 90s phrase meaning "Ladies man," and Mack simply doesn't like the stupid nickname.
