And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When they notice Muriel has disappeared, everyone runs back up the secret passage. As they run out the room, the order of the guests are: Peter, Diane, Chris, Lois, Carl, Doctor Hartman, Meg, Jillian, Brian, Quagmire, Mort, Derek, Seamus and Mayor West is way at the back. Yet as they run through the passage the order is: Peter, Lois, Tom, Quagmire, Diane, Chris, etc. But as they come out of the passage, the order is: Peter, Lois, Tom, Diane, Chris, Bonnie, Meg, Quagmire, Carl, Mayor West, Doctor Hartman, Mort, Seamus and Jillian is way at the back and not Mayor West since he was last seen exiting the secret room. Also Derek nor Consuela were seen in the room just as they ran out, yet when they magically appear when they are doing the groups. (00:21:50)

Continuity mistake: Peter knocks out Joe during the search in the hallway. Yet when everyone is fighting about the motives, there is a wide shot of the fight but Joe can be seen fighting behind a couch with Doctor Hartman and Derek. He can't have regained consciousness, because he doesn't regain consciousness until later in the episode. (00:19:20)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When James returns to the lounge to find everyone there, they all accuse him of killing Stephanie, so they walk over to the dining room with James at the front followed by Tom and Priscilla behind him and Joe and Doctor Hartman behind them. But when they enter the dining room, Tom and Priscilla are no where to be seen and it is now Joe who is behind him. Also in that same scene, several other characters change position. The people who are in the room are Peter, Chris, Brian, Quagmire, Joe, Bonnie, Diane, Doctor Hartman and Seamus and the rest of the guests aren't seen. So when they enter, Diane and Chris are at the back followed by Seamus, Quagmire and Bonnie in front of them, followed by Doctor Hartman, Peter and Joe at the front. There is then a shot of the chair completely empty. Yet in the next shot, Brian has suddenly appeared next to Joe out of nowhere. Then in the following shot, Diane is still at the back but now more closer to Bonnie and both Bonnie and Quagmire have changed positions and Seamus is now at the back and Chris is suddenly next to Quagmire at the edge of the right hand side of the screen and Peter is now behind Joe. Then the shot cuts to James and the shot cuts back to guests. But now Peter has appeared next to Doctor Hartman again and now in front of Joe and not behind him. Also Diane is now no longer at the back but in the middle towards the left of screen and no where Bonnie and Seamus is now partially in front Bonnie. Then when the shot cuts to James saying he is a member of MENSA and a huge hit with the ladies, there is no sign of Brian standing next to Joe. Then in the shot before the lights go out, Diane is now at least ten inches behind Bonnie and Lois has appeared behind Seamus out of nowhere. Then by the time the lights go back on again, Lois is now in front of Joe and all the other guests have appeared in the dining room. Then when Seamus says "Look", there's no one in front of him even though loads of other people were there in front of him before the lights went out. Then the shot zooms out and we can see in the shot are Doctor Hartman, Priscilla, Joe, Brian, Carl, Mort and Tom. Then when Joe says "Nobody touch the knife", it's now Seamus, Bonnie, Quagmire, Lois and Derek in the shot. Then when we see Peter and Chris in the shot, the shot zooms were Joe appears we can see Quagmire, Lois and Bonnie behind Peter even though they were way in front of them a couple of seconds ago. No way could they have all moved that fast, not with all the other people in the way. (00:13:40)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The age difference between Chris, Meg and Stewie keeps changing throughout the series. At the beginning of the series, Chris is 13, Meg is 15 and Stewie is 1 (he is after S1 E3 Chitty Chitty Death Bang). In series 4, Chris then goes to high school so he must be 14 by that time. It isn't referenced that Meg has aged between series 1 and series 5 until S5 E10 Peter's Two Dads where she turns 17, so she must have turned 16 during the past five seasons. Despite Meg having aged two years throughout the series, Chris remains having only aged one year since S4 (Age 14 referenced in S9 E13 Trading Places). Then in S10 E10 Meg & Quagmire, Meg then turns 18, and still Chris hasn't aged. Also, Stewie remains one year old after all of Chris and Meg's birthdays. If it were consistent, Meg would be now 18, Chris would now be 16 (not 14) and Stewie would now be 4 (not 1).

Lottery Fever - S10-E1

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode, Joe and Quagmire are shown sitting at a booth inside the bar with Joe pulled up to the corner of the booth. As Peter apologizes to them, Joe is no longer seen next to him. As Peter takes Quagmire's check, a part of Joe is seen sitting in the next booth. In the shot after, he disappears again for the rest of the scene.

Yug Ylimaf - S11-E4

Other mistake: Everything goes backwards in time and goes that far back that Meg (who is voiced by Mila Kunis) goes back to being voiced by Lacey Chabert (who voiced Meg in season 1). However, when Lacey Chabert does her line to Stewie being in the Griffin house for the first time, it goes back to Mila Kunis when Stewie is "reborn". However, if everything was going backwards and Brian fixed everything to make it goes forwards again, then it still should have been Lacey Chabert voicing Meg, not Mila Kunis. (00:16:30 - 00:19:35)

Back to the Pilot - S10-E5

Character mistake: After Stewie and Brian go to tell the past versions of themselves not to tell 1999 Brian about 9/11, Stewie then finds out that Brian then told 1999 Brian to write the Harry Potter novels. This would have been impossible because the first Harry Potter novel was published in 1997, 2 years before the time period Stewie and Brian arrive in. (00:16:35)
