The Office

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

Continuity mistake: When Dwight goes to write the idea that Erin had of a coat check on the whiteboard, he begins to write cop, but in the next cut, the P is changed to an A for coat check. (00:09:40)

Tallahassee - S8-E15

Continuity mistake: When Dwight is holding the "Taboo" buzzer in front of Erin, he's holding it so the speaker is facing down. After Jim slaps him, he's holding the buzzer so the speaker is facing up.

Last Day in Florida - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: Toby competes with Darryl to sell Girl Scout cookies. Toby says it's his daughter's first year selling them. However, earlier in the series, Toby agrees to sign Dwight's apology letter from corporate if he buys cookies from his daughter.

Get the Girl - S8-E19

Continuity mistake: When the group is chanting, the first shot of the balloon has the forklift prong over it. In the next shot, Daryl is driving the forklift towards the balloon and the prong isn't over the balloon yet.

Business Ethics - S5-E2

Character mistake: Meredith admits during the ethics seminar that she has been sleeping with Bruce, the HammerMill rep, for discounts on paper/paper supplies for the company, as well as Outback steak coupons, for 6 years. But, Dunder Mifflin did not begin selling Hammer Mill products until 3-2 "The Convention" when Michael got the contract.

Suggested correction: Michael didn't establish the contract with Hammer-mill. Rather, he locked them up as an exclusive supplier. It's unknown if they were already selling the products to Dunder Mifflin alongside Staples and Office Max.

Wrong, Josh says they cannot sell Hammer-mill products as they are exclusive to Staples so therefore they wouldn't have been able to sell there products alongside as mentioned before until Michael made them an exclusive to them solely, Dunder Mifflin. Therefore the original mistake stands true.

E-Mail Surveillance - S2-E9

Question: When Angela is buying the Baby Ruths, most of the other candies are turned backwards (I assume to avoid product placement). But above the Baby Ruth is one with the name facing forward that looks like it's called "Picaroon." Is this a real candy bar that's local to the Scranton area or just completely made up? If it's made up, any inside information about where the name came from or if there's an inside joke or show reference to it?

Bishop73

Answer: In the 2007 episode "Ben Franklin" when Jim is talking to Pam there is a candy bar with a purple wrapper that says "Picar-" I assume picaroon, it's hard to see past Pam. I found this trying to investigate what that candy bar is lol.

Answer: There does not appear to be a real candy bar by that name. The word is real, however. It refers to someone who is a rogue, a scoundrel, a thief, or an otherwise dubious character.
