Seinfeld

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the shot when Jerry points to Kramer where the ruined jacket is and he walks across the room to go check it out, the box of Ritz crackers is facing The Opposite direction than before, and in the following shot he is holding it in a different way too, by the top of the box instead of the bottom. (00:19:40)

Sammo

The Pony Remark - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Elaine tells George that Jerry must go to the funeral because he could have been the one who killed the old lady, Julia Louis-Dreyfus starts stirring the beverage. The spoon is gone at the cut, and at the following cut it is in her hand, which was free just a second before. Same later when George says that the dead don't care; she is holding it over the cup, but in the next shot it's suddenly inside the cup, hands off. (00:15:15)

Sammo

The Pony Remark - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: During their casual talk about death and wasting your own life, George says he plans to continue wasting it. Cut, and both him and Elaine are in different poses than earlier, with Elaine licking the spoon and George with his fingertips by his mouth. In the majority of the conversation there are no such jumpcuts and continuity is kept. (00:14:45)

Sammo

The Pony Remark - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Jerry called his parents back to tell them about Myra's dead. When his dad at the end of the scene says "You know what this funeral's gonna wind up costing me?" Barney Martin is leaning his head against his hand all of a sudden. (00:12:50)

Sammo

The Pony Remark - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: At the family dinner, Jerry's mom mentions horses for the first time. Reaction shot on the old lady saying "yeah, yeah", and cut to a wider angle; she is now all of a sudden leaning on her right arm. (00:06:50)

Sammo

The Ex-Girlfriend - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In the very first shot of Jerry's conversation with George's ex, behind the pile of books you can spot a big lemon slice on the rim of the glass. The slice is then gone from that spot (it's inside the glass now, submerged by the drink), but between shots it is back on and then off again. (00:08:00)

Sammo

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Up in Vermont, Jerry is beginning to have a rather tense conversation with Vanessa. In the close-up after the watch comment (when he is thinking of the delightful drive home ahead) Seinfeld is all smiles, but in the shot before and after he is staring with a tense expression. (00:17:20)

Sammo

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Elaine comes out of the bathroom sniffling and with a big stripe of toilet paper. She rubs her left side of the nose when she asks "Didn't work, huh?" In the next shot with George answering with a burst of nervous laughter, Elaine's hand is in a different position, and George himself is clutching a tissue to his chest. (00:16:25)

Sammo

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Kramer runs off to meet the girl he just spotted through the binoculars, and George walks through the door and crashes on The Couch. The pillow is straight-ish, very angled and straight again during the conversation, with George's hand changing position between shots. (00:15:45)

Sammo

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The scene with Elaine on The Couch plotting the demise of the cats begins with a nasal spray on the kitchen counter. There's no trace of it after that initial shot, and it reappears only when Elaine comes closer for her cup of coffee. (00:13:00)

Sammo

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Jerry says that he wants to suggest to his current girlfriend, Vanessa, to go away for a couple days. George starts saying "No no no" and before the cut he raises his arm and lowers his head as to express concern. But in the new shot there's no trace of that change in posture. (00:02:45)

Sammo

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During the initial conversation, George keeps playing with the paper sleeve of a straw in certain shots, while his hand is in another position in the reverse shots (noticeable for instance when he says "Guys with cats...I don't know..." (00:02:30)

Sammo

The Dog - S3-E4

Character mistake: When George and Elaine go to the coffee shop after The Movie without Jerry, they establish that Elaine moved to NYC in 1986. Then they make fun of the way that Jerry throws up; both imitating Jerry. The "Dinner Party" episode is after the "The Dog". In the "Dinner Party" episode, Jerry brags that he hasn't thrown up since June 29th, 1980. The black and white cookie ended this streak. Elaine would not have been around to see this, not arriving in NYC until 1986.
