The Mothers - S3-E17

Plot hole: When the "refrigerator" falls on Tobias's mom, the boys are watching from a side view. It is later revealed that the fridge was just a cardboard cutout. The boys were watching from the side, so how did they not notice it?

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Sometimes Ed's fireplace in his office is on the right wall but then other times it's on the left. Plus Ed and Mikes' offices switch sides mid series. Ed's office is stage right in early years, Mike's is stage right in later years.

A Doll's Outhouse - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When Emma and Zuri are watching the horror doll movie, Jessie comes in for a little bit and you can see that the popcorn bucket is completely full, but after Jessie leaves and they see the part with the eye, Zuri puts an empty popcorn bucket on her head.

Dawn of the Peck - S5-E4

Other mistake: After the turkeys start attacking in "The Running of the Turkeys", Mr. Fishoder and his brother start running. In that clip a Turkey pops out the side of a guy's head. Look in the mid lower right side. Looks like a design error. Pretty big error, no slow down needed to see it. (00:05:20)

TAC in the Day - S5-E13

Other mistake: Anders, Blake, and Adam help promote Alice to become the boss. Before becoming boss and cleaning up, she had a very casual attitude and is shown wearing informal black, rebellious clothing. However in 3-10 "Flashback in the Day", when Anders, Blake, and Adam first meet Alice she is the same strict, formal boss seen predominantly in the show. So basically TAC in the Day makes no sense, because Alice was already boss by that point in time and already had met the gang before their first day at work. She recruited them, after all.

Mr Morris Returns - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: At the bowling alley after Jim bowls and walks back to the group and talks to them, we see a young man in the background with a grey top about to bowl. Then there is a quick shot that cuts to Adam and, then the shot cuts back to Jim and the guy in the background is about to bowl again.

Chez Mammy - S3-E15

Revealing mistake: When Cathy and Gaston return to the house to find Betty, Father Damien and Annette Curtain high from the chocolate brownies, she asks where Mrs. Brown is and she tells Cathy that she is upstairs wandering around since she is high. Cathy then tells her to come back downstairs and Mrs. Brown replies a few seconds later saying she is coming back down and flies down the stairs in the chair lift. Before Mrs. Brown comes back down, she can actually be seen sitting in the chair lift at the top of the staircase, from the moment where she tells Cathy she is upstairs to the moment where she says she is coming, waiting for the cue to come downstairs.

ANTswers - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When the students see themselves in the TV, (which meant that Skidmore was watching them because Chyna had given her a hidden camera) you can see in the TV that there is actually a green screen on the screen and the video is not actually playing, it was just edited in later.

But when Warwick is watching it back on TV there are multiple shots of Warwick & Anthony, and the interviewer. (00:05:05 - 00:08:10)
