Family Guy

Mind over Murder - S1-E4

Audio problem: When Peter goes down to the basement, the Pawtucket Patriot guy appears and Peter thinks he's coming on to him. He says, "Listen, I don't swing that way, pal. I got a date with my female wife, I just came down to get some beers." However, his lips very obviously do not sync up with those words.

Holy Crap - S2-E2

Audio problem: When Peter introduces the pope to his friends at work, and he is saying "Remember when we got that stripper for Charlie and it turned out to be his son? I think this is gonna top it" or something along those lines), Peter's mouth very obviously does not sync up with the words being said.

Wasted Talent - S2-E20

Audio problem: At the piano competition you see Peter playing towards the left side of the piano and hear the pitch going higher. This wrong because the keys for the high pitches are on the right side of the piano.

Tanngrisnir

The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8

Audio problem: Neil uses a tape recorder to record Meg, and the recording can be heard to say "Give it to me. Give it to me Neil" however the actual dialog when spoken included a line by Neil between the end of "Give it to me" for the first time and before the second. Which isn't in the playback. (00:07:30)

Ssiscool

A Fish Out of Water - S3-E10

Audio problem: In the scene where Quagmire is bidding on the prostitutes panties, the auctioneer says that she had 9 STDs, but the closed captions have him saying, "She had 12 STDs." (00:03:20)

A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas - S3-E16

Audio problem: After Lois goes insane and jumps out the window, she insults Frosty the Snowman, who then goes up to her to demand an apology. Lois then takes out a match and uses Frosty's nose to light it. Frosty recoils, holding his nose and saying "Ow, ow, what the-" but it cuts to a shot of Lois grabbing a bottle of beer from a hobo as Frosty is saying "What the" and it shows him standing perfectly straight, with his mouth not moving at all.

Deep Throats - S4-E23

Audio problem: In the flashback of Handful of Peter singing about the Indian chief, the musical notes Peter and Lois play continue to change pitch after they take their hands off their instruments' frets, which should default back to the open string notes.

Cubs Fan

Stewie Loves Lois - S5-E1

Audio problem: When Peter is telling the guys about the doctor visit, he starts crying and knocks his beer glass off the table. It makes the sound of glass shattering, but the glass on the floor isn't broken at all.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Audio problem: Just after Peter graduates from the Police Academy, he goes home to Lois and draws his gun in the kitchen, which gets Lois very excited. Every time Peter fires his revolver, you'll hear a soft, but distinctive clink briefly after each shot. This clink comes from shell casings hitting the floor, which revolvers make impossible. Revolvers are designed to eject expended shell casings only while its user is reloading, not after each shot is fired. Only semiautomatic firearms immediately eject expended cartridges immediately after having been fired. Unless I'm mistaken, the entire gunshot sound originally came from a 9mm semiautomatic pistol.

Underage Peter - S14-E14

Plot hole: They're in the Clam complaining that they can't drink when they make the revelation that Brian can because he's technically 56. But Quagmire should be able to drink, as in a much earlier episode, he's revealed to be over 60.

Suggested correction: Quagmire considers the rest of them to be his best friends. He isn't drinking because they can't drink. He is complaining because since his friends can't drink - he won't drink, so he is still pissed.

It's still a plot hole considering Quagmire's age. I think the writers messed up big time.

You make a good point, but it's awkward to be that one person who is drinking while surrounded by people who can't. So, I understand the correction that was submitted above. Because his friends are not drinking, he now feels that he can't.

It's 100% a mistake. Quagmire simply would buy them alcohol the same way Brian did when they realized he could.

Grumpy Old Man - S10-E9

Trivia: One of the cutaway gags is about someone who survived 9/11 because he was late for work watching late night football. Seth MacFarlane missed his flight, which would have been one of the flights to crash into the World Trade Center, because his agent had given him the incorrect departure time. The plane was scheduled to depart at 7:45 AM and his agent had told him it was departing at 8:15 AM. By the time Seth arrived the boarding had been closed and he was told he would have to catch a later flight.

Business Guy - S8-E9

Question: In the episode, Peter threatens to fire Lois, and she responds with "you wouldn't" and Peter then replies with "Oh really, does the name Lacey Chabert mean anything to you?" which in turn makes Lois go wide eyed and reply with "OK, I'll behave" and Peter then goes on to add "Yes you will" Can anyone explain this joke if it is a joke to comprehend?

Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
