Suggested correction: I watched the hardware store scene carefully but I didn't see any difference on the format of the antenna on Chris' head. It's always stay curled in the whole scene.

Continuity mistake: When Meg is telling the university dean that she is president of the Luke Perry Fan Club, Peter is suddenly no longer beside her. Also, the distance between her and Lois grows, the chairs they are sitting on suddenly become smaller, the bookshelf behind them suddenly becomes much more shallow, like it's cardboard and it's wider, and the blue books on the left of the screen change labels.

Continuity mistake: When the university dean is looking at Meg's transcript, the folder of other papers he has on his desk suddenly moves back with more of the large white paper underneath it moving. And the text boxes at the top of the paper he's holding vanish in a closer shot. (00:04:31)

Continuity mistake: Stewie enters the Chemistry Lab at the university and is stopped by a professor. In the background is an anatomy diagram of a human body. Between shots, lots of the detail disappears, including a blue circle, some organs, several lines of text, and the orange and green circles change size, shape and position. (00:03:24)

Continuity mistake: After Peter tries to bribe the admission at the University, he, Lois, and Meg sit down on a waiting couch as Lois says she had friends who got shot at her old school. There is a painting of a yellow building on the wall above and behind them. It has 8 windows at the top. In the next shot, it just has 7 windows at the top. Also, the bushes and road are drawn a little differently with less road visible through the bottom bush. (00:02:08)

Continuity mistake: The family is standing outside the gate of Brown University, and their car is on the left, parked just off to the side behind Meg. In the next shot, the car vanishes. You can tell where it was supposed to be by the position of the white lines on the road, meaning no, it's not just off camera. Where the line is shown, the front of the car should be visible behind Meg. (00:01:19)

Deliberate mistake: At the start of the episode, the family is watching a show called "Sherry and the Anus." When Sherry opens the door and walks in, there is a Star Wars poster hanging above Anus' dresser. However, it doesn't resemble Star Wars at all. The font is all wrong, the lettering is the wrong colour, and the ship on the front is some generic-looking spy plane and nothing like a Star Wars fighter. This was obviously done to avoid any copyright issues, as this was before the Lucas partnership later on. (00:00:07)

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.
