Peter's Daughter - S6-E8

Continuity mistake: Meg comes in the kitchen and Peter pulls out her chair for her. Next shot of Meg shows a plate of food appear out of nowhere. Peter, Lois and Chris had a plate in front of them and there was no plate in front of Meg at any time. There was no other food in sight on the counter or stove either. (00:15:00)

McStroke - S6-E9

Plot hole: Brian bets Stewie about being at high school for a week. However, this was before Peter's stroke, and before the fire at McBurgertown. It would take at least a few weeks for McBurgertown was rebuilt, then Peter had his stroke, and then Lois tells Chris Peter's stroke was 3 months ago. After this scene, Stewie tells Brian he has lost the bet. However, the bet would only last one week.

McStroke - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: After Peter has a stroke, later on he asks Lois for a beer. She gets it from the fridge and gives it to him without opening it yet he immediately takes a drink and spills it on his shirt.

Long John Peter - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: When we first see the English guy in his car, his crates of goods are stacked askew in the back seat. After Peter's crew shoot the car several times and the car is half-wrecked, the boxes are suddenly neatly packed into the seats. Moments later, we see the boxes piled randomly again. This change happens a couple more times before the scene is over.

Long John Peter - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: The English guy's car is full of crates when we first see it and when his roof is blown off but after Peter and a crewman have boarded, there are suddenly barrels in the car too.

I Dream of Jesus - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: As Peter makes a comment on Jesus' joke, the screen goes into a closeup between the two of them. The potatoes on their plates change from a sandy yellow to white and the next time their plates are in view, the potatoes are back to their original colour. (00:11:33)

I Dream of Jesus - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When Jesus first sits down and starts talking to Jay Leno, there's a coffee cup on his desk with the handle facing to the right. After Jesus says he's been playing Call of Duty, the cup has moved closer to Jesus with the handle facing to the left even though no one touched it.

Amy Emerick Tice

Road to Germany - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: After getting the uranium, Stewie places it in the time pad and then puts the pad in his jacket pocket. After being confronted by Hitler who promises to spare them if they sing a musical number, Mort interrupts them, and it's seen that he is now standing on the time pad.

Baby Not On Board - S7-E4

Plot hole: Stewie gets out of the car seat and goes back to bed, leaving the blanket at the bottom of the seat. When they get to New York, Lois goes to get him out and realises he's gone. But when they started the trip the blanket was covering the entire seat to make it look like Stewie was still in it. So who ever "covered" him up knew he wasn't in the seat before they set off. (00:13:45)

When You Wish Upon a Weinstein - S3-E22

Peter Griffin: You better watch who you're calling a child Lois. Because if I'm a child then you know what that makes you? A paedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand here and be lectured by a pervert.

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.
