But then Johnson appears and says "I'm going to remove this toothpaste tube before it causes anymore damage" the shot cuts to Alfred with the toothpaste squeezed on him, and his appearance has changed; with a larger head, bright green body and larger in size.

Hydra Attacks: Part 2 - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When the first Spider-Man is thrown into the car and bus, he uses the street lamp that's hanging over the middle of the bus to lift the car up with his webs; however, in the previous shot, the street lamp is near the rear of the bus and isn't really close enough to be hanging over it. It completely changes position to fit the action.

Pat & Mat picture

Vinari - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of putting the lids on the bottles, Mat's hands have 5 fingers (briefly done by a real person instead of the puppets). However, throughout the series, the duo is consistently 4-fingered - and that includes other close-ups that were also created with real hands briefly replacing the animation.
