Futurama

Anthology of Interest 2 - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When the music starts in the bar human-Bender is stuffing himself with nachos – then he leaps off his stool, grabs a pint glass, a cigar and a handful of nachos and starts dancing. The pint glass and the cigar appear from nowhere – and there is no bar person to serve them (and no time to do it anyway.).

I Second That Emotion - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When the mutant with the big head first mentions El Chupakneebra, in the background you can see the blue sign reading "Cleaners". It is then attached to the building next to the one the characters are standing by. However, in the next shot, when Leela asks what El Chupakneebra is, you can see the blue sign on the building they are in front of.

Love's Labors Lost in Space - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Zapp Brannigan shows off his 'big book of war', he returns it to a pouch at the side of his chair. Two shots later there is no sign of the pouch or the book. Also, when he gets out of the chair, there are no buttons on the armrests, but when he returns to it later, there are two on each side. (00:07:20)

Bendless Love - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: In the episode "Mars University" we are shown how robots in "Futurama" attend a regular college, alongside humans and other species, over a periode of at least one college semester. Bender even talks about how he attended and majored in bending (minoring in Robo-American history). However, in this episode, we are shown that his entire "education" consisted of downloading a file at the factory where he was made. There is a clear inconsistency in these two stories of Bender's education.

My Three Suns - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bender is in Hermes' office and Hermes says "It has come to my attention this company has been paying you to do nothing but loaf about on the couch", Bender has his arms on the table. When it cuts he has his arms crossed. (00:02:40)

Mortug

Godfellas - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bender laments that he'll be drifting through space with just a little swag, he takes a gold wristwatch out of the bag and puts it on. The watch disappears a few seconds later when he pulls the little piano out of his chest storage and is never seen again.

Rebirth - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: As the power builds up in Bender, his left eye pops out, making him a cyclops, subsequently being eaten by the Cyclops eater. After the monster dies, Bender comes out, and has two eyes in the long shot, but puts his left eye back in the close up.

Answer: The initial number is 0101100101 = 357. When reflected in a mirror, however, it reads 1010011010 = 666 (the number of the Beast). It is a parody of The Shining, where the words Red Rum are seen as the word murder in the mirror.
