Berry Scary - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: Blue is walking down a hall with a paddle ball in his hand. He is twirling around the ball and string around the paddle. However it's obvious that the string is somehow just passing through the paddle itself and not going around it. It's especially noticeable when he stops and the string slows down and visibly passes right through the wood of the paddle.

Race Ipsa - S2-E23

Revealing mistake: When Denise is showing Brad how to kiss, the first kiss is a typical "stage kiss" with their lips pretty clamped shut, but she then details what he's doing wrong with his tongue, which clearly wasn't at all involved with the sort of kiss they just shared.

Cat River Daze - S6-E11

Revealing mistake: When viewing the dunk tank from inside the gas station, in one shot it is clear that the dunk tank does not have a seat but just a block where the seat should be, and the person being dunked does not fall, but rather pushes themselves into the water.
