Herman, the Tire Kicker - S2-E28
Continuity mistake: The semi trailer the crooks used to get the cars away is way too short for all the cars put into it. As each car goes in, it disappears.

Visible crew/equipment: As Herman and the salesman walk to the convertible, the shadow of the boom mic can be seen coming toward the camera on the right side of the frame.

Revealing mistake: As Herman lifts the VW Beetle, the shadow of the lift arm can be seen on the ground under the left side of the car.
Answer: The comedic gimmick of both "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family" television shows in the 1960s was that both families were convinced they were normal and everyone else they encountered was odd. The Addams Family, for example, thought their "normal" visitors were mentally unbalanced because they always fled the Addams' weird home in panic. That was a running gag throughout the entire Addams Family series, so much so that easily half of nearly every episode was devoted to the predictably terrified reactions of their visitors (always accompanied by identical canned laughter). Meanwhile, in the Munsters' universe, the family thought "normal" people were physically deformed and even quite hideous. For example, the Munsters believed that their beautiful niece, Marilyn, was socially handicapped by her ugliness (the exact opposite of the truth); and, in the episode "Just Another Pretty Face" (S2E17), when Herman Munster was temporarily transformed into a "normal" person, his entire family found him utterly repulsive. The family's hidden revulsion to "normal" people was the running gag of The Munsters.
