Teacher Earl - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Randy gives Earl his safety deposit key back. The screen switches to Randy, and then back to Earl, except where there used to be a safety deposit key on the napkin in from of him are now 3 safety deposit keys, and rearranged for that matter. After another screen switch between the two, the 3 keys get rearranged again. (00:20:30 - 00:21:10)

Continuity mistake: When Earl is in the Crab Shack discussing the punishing of the children, there is an empty tray on the counter in front of Crab Man, but when the shot changes, Crab Man is holding the tray with a bottle of beer on it.

Y2K - S1-E19

Deliberate mistake: The gang is able to get into the bargain bag store without any security system going off or police investigating the break-in at the store. Even the following day, no one bothers them while they're sleeping in the beds in the store.

Lummie

Y2K - S1-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Darnell is amused by the funny greeting card, as the camera moves towards him, you can spot a crew member (most likely a boom mic operator) on the left side of the screen, on the other side of the display shelf. His/her arm is well visible but you can even see his/her head for a brief moment.

Stole a Badge - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: At the end when Stuart decided to let Earl go he pulls the list out of his pocket, and gives it back to Earl, and it is all crumpled up, but a second later when we see Earl holding the note it is neatly folded.

Number One - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: When Randy is scratching off the joke lottery ticket, the amount of scratched-off material left on the ticket changes between the three close-ups. One shot shows that the ticket was rubbed and not scratched (the area revealed has a haze to it).

Very Bad Things (1) - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Randy spray paints his name over the bargain buys logo on the side of the truck. However, when Earl and Joy realise there is a man in the back of it, it cuts to a long shot and it still has the bargain buys logo on it. Then when Earl comes back with the gas, Randy is painting over his name with the white paint.

Joy: Is his sister getting married? Is she? Cause if she didn't ask me to be a bridesmaid I swear to God, I will march down to that Club Chubby and wrap her neck around that pole.

Answer: The premise of the show is he atones for mistakes he did in the past. Winning a car for Joy probably atones for something he did wrong regarding her in the past.
