The Treaty - S4-E7

Revealing mistake: Tom is talking on the phone in Ron's office. When he turns the phone at an angle the call home screen that has the end button, the speaker button, etc. turns to its side, which means it was a picture - he wasn't actually calling anyone. (00:02:25)

A Going Concern - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: While the ODIN agents are hallucinating, one can be seen looking into the barrel end of an MP40. If you follow him as the scene continues, the gun clips out of the sprite's visible area, and is almost entirely gone. (00:14:30)

A Fistful of Paintballs - S2-E23

Revealing mistake: When Chang is getting blasted with the minigun, the safety pads under his shirt are very noticeable. (His shirt is extremely "puffed out" and you can see the outline of pads.) He's been tied up most of the episode and wasn't wearing pads earlier, so there's no way he was able to get pads on in the meantime.

Dance Dance Revelation - S2-E10

Revealing mistake: When Lily hits Mitchell in the face, her 'arm' is covered by a pyjama-like material, but the next shot shows her wearing a sleeveless dress, showing her 'arm' was really a padded stick.

The Anchor Baby - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: When Ruxin's phone conversation with Kevin is overheard by Jenny, she starts an online chat with Ruxin. She sends her message, but almost as soon as she's sent it, for a fraction of a second we see "reply from Ruxin" appear on her screen, before the shot cuts to Ruxin actually seeing it and writing his reply.

Meet the Birthday - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode when Leroy is trying to get a cat to come down off the house, it jumps at him and he gets into a "fight" with the cat going at his face. It is painfully obvious that the cat is just a stuffed toy and David Mann is just controlling it.
