Family Guy

Airport '07 - S5-E12

Other mistake: As Quagmire sits at the bar, Hugh Hefner comes and gives him a pep talk. During it, he says John Holmes said Glen Quagmire is the best pilot. Unless he had seen the news or knew him personally, Hefner couldn't have called Quagmire by name.

Movie Nut

Boys Do Cry - S5-E15

Other mistake: Towards the very end, they automatically head to the car, planning to leave Texas, without any of their items from the house packed in the car after running away from the mob at the Miss Pageant Contest.

Meet The Quagmires - S5-E18

Other mistake: Peter goes back in time and sees Lois at age 18. Death says everyone will see Peter as being 18 too. Problem: Lois and Peter aren't the same age. In later episodes, Lois reveals she's 2 years older than Peter so Peter should be 16 when he meets Lois.

Blue Harvest - S6-E1

Other mistake: In the scene where the Millennium Falcon has just left the death star after Obi-Wan has been killed, there are two shots of the ship flying away through space. In the second shot, the cockpit is missing. (00:33:35)

Tales of a Third Grade Nothing - S7-E6

Other mistake: In the cutaway at Ford's Theater, Abraham Lincoln receives a cell phone call from someone who is implied to be Thomas Jefferson. While the anachronism of a cell phone in the Civil War can be ignored as humorously deliberate, Lincoln can't be talking to Jefferson; by April of 1865, when Lincoln was assassinated, Jefferson had been dead for nearly 40 years.

Suggested correction: Where are you getting the implication that it is Thomas Jefferson? You seem to have misunderstood the joke. "I hear you took that black chick home. You're welcome." is not a reference to Jefferson sleeping with one of his slaves. It's simply a reference to Lincoln freeing the slaves. Tom is just a generic name. (Besides, if you're complaining about historical anachronisms in Family Guy cutaways, you're probably missing the point.)

Road to the Multiverse - S8-E1

Other mistake: In every universe - except for the double-headed universe - Brian and Stewie travel to, they (seem to) replace the version of themselves that universe already has of them, but then in the Dog universe they have a separate version of themselves that they continuously interact with.

Brian & Stewie - S8-E17

Other mistake: A bank wouldn't lock someone in the vault all night. Employees make sure customers have left before locking up for the day.

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Other mistake: As Joe is driving up to the house, just before coming to a complete stop, you can see that his window is completely closed. After stopping, Peter says "Joe?" Joe says "Peter?" Joe's window is now fully open. Trouble is, Joe seems to be completely surprised by Peter standing there which implies he never saw Peter even after stopping. His window has mysteriously opened immediately. (00:04:05)

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Other mistake: When everyone is leaving the mansion after Stephanie was killed, 3 mistakes happen at the same time: Dr. Hartman came alone, but there is a person sitting in the front seat next to him. Derek is in the car he and Jillian came in when they got here, but he is alone. And Carl was getting into Herbert's Ice Cream Truck, which was in front of his own truck.

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Other mistake: When they are chasing Tom around the dining table, they huddle up in a circle. Everyone is looking at Peter talk, and when Doctor Hartman says "Damn, that is awfully risky," if you look at Carl's eyes, they clip outside their eyes to look at Hartman.

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.

Answer: Mort is Jewish, and Walt Disney was said to be antisemitic. So it would make sense in a Disney universe all the inhabitants would share his supposed beliefs.
