Accident - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Richie falls off the ladder, it's apparent from the way he falls that he lands on his front (you just see his leg pop into shot) and that his head would be pointing towards the camera. However, instantly in the next shot we see him on his back with his head towards the wall.

Hole - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: When Richie says "Don't you dare call me overweight young man" and tips the ferris wheel cart over, you can see that it is a dummy representing Richie.

Gas - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When Eddie places the frying pan in the hand of the gas man, you can see that he grips it even though he is supposed to be unconscious. (00:10:55)

Migster

Terror - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: During a few of the "flaming fart" scenes, you can see a wire connected to the bottom of the actors. It's hard to see because it appears that it was attached to their legs in some way, but you can still see it when they move around a lot. The easiest place to see it is when the "devil" knocks on the door and they all fart and jump around, look carefully between/to the side of eddies legs for a black wire. It's not the dressing gown belt because that's tied around their waists.

Culture - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Ritchie yells "Aah. Aah. Aah." after the table lands on his toes, the shot zooms out. When Eddie hits him again, he is able to move away from the table. But we never see the table moving the final distance downwards towards the floor (implying he's pulled his feet out from under it), meaning his toes were never under the table at that point, only in the short scene beforehand.

Gas - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Eddie says they are playing with a deck of 12 cards, his sleeve is half covering his watch. In the next shot the sleeve has moved much further down his arm. (00:02:10)

Dwarf

Terror - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When the four guys collapse on the floor, after eating the sprouts of evil, Richie still has the challis in his hand. Yet when they wake up, the challis is nowhere to be seen.

Migster

Bottom's Up - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Eddie goes down to fight the looters the sky is totally blue. But all of 2 minutes later when he comes back on the roof, the sky is totally grey. Not a chance could that happen so quickly.

Culture - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: After Eddie has performed checkmate on Richie, Richie punches Eddie who falls over. Eddie gets back up and lifts the table up. The chess board, ashtray, bottle of brown sauce and other things on the table disappear completely in the next shot showing the table land on Richie's feet.

Digger - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Eddie and Richie are leaving the dating agency, Eddie opens the door and bangs his head. Watch as the whole stage wall to the left of the shot shakes as he does this.

Accident - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When they are leading Richie to the cupboard while playing postman's knock, Dave Hedgehog puts his hands on the wall. The whole stage wall shakes when he touches it.

Digger - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Richie and Eddie are following the love bureau lady into her office, Richie has the clipboard in his left hand. However when he enters the office in the next shot, the clipboard is in his right hand.

Digger - S2-E1

Women: Ooh, any relation?
Eddie: Well... I've got a mother.
Women: No, no I meant to Adolf Hitler.
Eddie: Yes, that's her!

Culture - S2-E3

Trivia: Perhaps an odd bit of Trivia, but Dr. O'Grady's treatment ("have your personal organ enhanced so that it comparable in size to a fully grown mountain gorilla") is not as big a ripoff as it sounds. A fully grown gorilla has an erect penis length of around 1.5 inches (on average).
