Gettysburg - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: While Andy continues the tour, Gabe stays behind to perform as Abraham Lincoln. Later on we see Gabe with the others, we even get a close up. A while later, when everyone is tired and sitting on the grass, Gabe doesn't seem to be there. Eventually the episode ends with Gabe finishing his performance.

Christmas Wishes - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode when Robert California is escorting Erin out of the office, they are already in the parking lot speaking while it cuts to a shot of a concerned Andy in the conference room watching them from the window. A few moments later, Andy is shown saying goodbye to his girlfriend, while watching Robert and Erin leave the office. This should not be possible as they were shown to be in the parking lot already in a previous scene, with Andy watching as well. (00:18:38)

Special Project - S8-E14

Andy's Ancestry - S9-E3

Continuity mistake: Nellie and Pam are driving along, discussing what to make up about people's ancestry. Here, we see the same background go past Pam, a driveway with a black SUV on the right, and a white SUV on the left. This shot is only repeated in the angle where we can only see Pam, and the view out of the passenger side window. The car is driving along as normal, we see the two cars on the driveway, and then the car turns a corner, and we see the same shot all over again. (00:13:15)

Dishwasher

Suit Warehouse - S9-E11

Continuity mistake: They take a pledge to "We all drink them all" referring to the espresso flavors. Angela puts her hand on top of the pile and it flips between Oscar's hand and Stanley's hand under hers depending on the camera angle.

Customer Loyalty - S9-E12

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, we are shown a video of Dwight getting splashed with the milkshake from the point of view of the guys in the car. But it splashes differently the two times we see it. The first time it hits his lower body, and on the video, it hits him in his upper body.

The Farm - S9-E17

Continuity mistake: In the episode's intro, as Dwight's aunt died, he explains the Schrute custom of inviting someone or not, by throwing red dirt or black soil at the person's face. In the first shot, Dwight shows the red dirt bucket by lifting his left hand, but when the camera angle changes to the side, you can see his right hand is lifted up with the other bucket. The camera returns to the front as he is still lowering his left arm, and then he proceeds to lift the black soil bucket with the right arm. (00:00:48)

Last Day in Florida - S8-E18

The Cover-Up - S6-E23

Question: In the beginning, when Jim and Pam are supposedly communicating through Morse Code, do they actually saying anything? What about the end with Pam and Dwight? What is said? Or is it just random clicks, taps, and blinks to seem like Morse Code for the audience?

Bishop73

Answer: This is what a person on Reddit wrote regarding Jim and Pam: I know Morse code well, and most of it was gibberish, especially Jim's clicks. Pam's second transmission was almost intelligible as SE HE IT (3 clicks 1 click, 4 clicks, 1 click, 2 clicks and long click). "

Answer: I only know the part about the detonator, the rest might be random but Jim said "There is a detonator in this office."

Is that what is actually clicked out? Seems way too long for what how short the scene is. Or are you just guessing that's what was implied because of Dwight's reaction.

Bishop73

Answer: I tried to solve it, seemed like random clicking to me.
