Family Guy

New Kidney in Town - S9-E8

Continuity mistake: When Peter returns home from being hyped up on Red Bull, he has numerous cans in his arms. When he sees Stewie he immediately drops the cans on the floor but when the camera pulls back as he sits down with Stewie in his lap, the cans of Red Bull are nowhere to be seen.

The Boys in the Band - S15-E1

Continuity mistake: In the cutaway of Stewie talking with the three co-workers at the factory, there is a man towards the left of shot, leaning against a forklift. Beside the man is a female factory worker sitting on a crate about three to four feet to the left of him and her lunchbox is on the ground in front of the crate. In the next shot, as Stewie walks back to his forklift, the crate the woman is sitting on and the lunchbox are a much further distance from the man. The shot then pulls out, and the woman and her lunchbox are suddenly back to the original distance.

Casual Person

He's Bla-ack! - S12-E20

Continuity mistake: When Joe, Peter, and Quagmire are sitting at the table in the bar, Joe takes off his sock and shoe to show them his foot. Cleveland comes in and Joe puts his leg back down and instantly has his sock and shoe back on.

Blind Ambition - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When Peter is about to walk into the Drunken Clam, his seeing-eye dog refuses to go inside, so he puts the leash on a homeless man, thinking it was a fire hydrant. We actually see a fire hydrant in front of the homeless man, but then when Peter ties the dog up, it's gone.

DaBoom - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Peter and Brian are entering the Channel 5 Studio, we see a far view of Tom and Diane eating. The torn right sleeve (close to her hand) from the far shot shows that it reaches her elbow. In the close up shot, the sleeve doesn't go to her elbow. (00:09:20)

Tiegs for Two - S9-E14

Continuity mistake: When Mr Washee Washee discovers Peter in his bedroom, Peter's glasses are missing when he says the line, "it seems we're at an impasse", but instantly reappear at the start of the next line, "how do you propose we settle this?"

Tiegs for Two - S9-E14

Continuity mistake: As Peter pulls up outside the laundrette, there are parked cars visible on the other side of the road. In the next shot, as Peter is exiting his car, the cars have disappeared.

German Guy - S9-E11

Continuity mistake: When Franz Gutentag falls off the step towards the end of the episode, Herbert is on the porch of the house and reaches out to him. When we see the shot of Gutentag falling in slow motion and the birds fly away, there is no sign of Herbert on the porch.

Underage Peter - S14-E14

Plot hole: They're in the Clam complaining that they can't drink when they make the revelation that Brian can because he's technically 56. But Quagmire should be able to drink, as in a much earlier episode, he's revealed to be over 60.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Quagmire considers the rest of them to be his best friends. He isn't drinking because they can't drink. He is complaining because since his friends can't drink - he won't drink, so he is still pissed.

It's still a plot hole considering Quagmire's age. I think the writers messed up big time.

You make a good point, but it's awkward to be that one person who is drinking while surrounded by people who can't. So, I understand the correction that was submitted above. Because his friends are not drinking, he now feels that he can't.

It's 100% a mistake. Quagmire simply would buy them alcohol the same way Brian did when they realized he could.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Connie: You know, Meg, there's no dogs allowed. So, you're going to have to leave. But Brian can stay.
Brian Griffin: You know, Connie, I think I have this theory about why you're such a bitch.
Connie: Excuse me?
Meg Griffin: Brian, let's just go.
Brian Griffin: No, no, no, no, no, no. Hang on a minute, Meg, hang on. You see, Connie, you're popular because you developed early and started giving handjobs when you were twelve. But now you can't stand to look in the mirror because all you see is a whore. So you pick on Meg to avoid the inevitable realization that once your body's used up by age nineteen, you're gonna be a worn out chalky skinned burlap sack that even your own stepdad won't want. How is that? Am I in the ballpark?
[Connie runs off crying].

Trivia: A Quahog is another name for a clam, thus all the jokes and places in town (like the drunken clam bar) the show makes reference about.

Business Guy - S8-E9

Question: In the episode, Peter threatens to fire Lois, and she responds with "you wouldn't" and Peter then replies with "Oh really, does the name Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?" which in turn makes Lois go wide eyed and reply with "OK, I'll behave" and Peter then goes on to add "Yes you will" Can anyone explain this joke if it is a joke to comprehend?

Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
