All About Steve - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: At the convention when we first see Roger and Hayley, they pass a booth that says Costume contest registration. There is also a few people around, a poster and a movable wall. The very next shot is more of a close up of the two and the background has changed dramatically. There is now about 4-5 different stalls behind them and no sign of the previous one or the poster and wall.

Camp Refoogee - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: After the last school day has ended, Stan chases Steve into a canyon Terminator 2 style to show him camp brochures. After Steve has a go at Stan about not wanting to go to camp, Francine enters the scene, knocking Stan's car out of the way. The car is almost ten meters away from Steve and Stan as she enters the scene. Francine doesn't move the car in the next shot. But in the next shot after that, the car is suddenly right next to Steve and Stan. (00:01:15)

Phantom of the Telethon - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: After Roger gets his organ, we see Stan by the totals display. However, the donations jump from 382,760 to 382,840 between camera cuts. When we see the donations rise normally, you see the figures morph into the new ones. This doesn't happen on this occasion. (00:10:00)

Moon Over Isla Island - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Francine brings lemonade on a tray for Steve and his friends, she assumes Snot is drowning. Francine then drops the tray and it lands on the ground before jumping in the pool after him. The tray disappears when she emerges from the pool with Snot. (00:03:45)

Casual Person

Blood Crieth Unto Heaven - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: When Stan and Francine are first in the kitchen, a record player is briefly seen to the right of the screen. However, when Stan returns to the kitchen after all his dad's items have been put in the bag there is no sign of the record player in the other room. (00:03:15 - 00:03:55)

Casual Person

Vision: Impossible - S9-E9

Continuity mistake: Steve receives a Rowflux and five containers of protein powder. He takes one of the containers leaving only four still on the floor. In a subsequent scene, Steve is still holding the container but now five containers can be seen behind him, giving him six containers altogether.

Spring Break-Up - S3-E16

Character mistake: At one point in the show, Roger throws a bucket of water (in disguise as Scotch Bingeington) on Francine claiming "Wet T-Shirt Contest!" Francine looks disgusted when Roger states "Eh, give this one a four" to the guy judging the contest, then says to Francine "Don't feel bad, you've had three kids." Francine replies "I've had two." and Roger gasps and puts a consoling hand on Francine's shoulder. This is wrong because Francine has birthed four children. She previously gave birth to Bailey (Hayley's twin), and Greg and Terry's baby in Season 3 Episode 7 "Surro-Gate." (00:14:15)

CIAPOW - S10-E2

Roger: Look at us, Steve. Neck and neck. May the best man win.
Steve: Well that's gonna be me, because your weird gut's about to hit the wall.
Roger: Not if your boner hits it first.
Steve: What? I don't have a boner.
Roger: You're about to.
Steve: How? What are you gonna do?
Roger: I don't have to do anything. You're a teenage boy who just heard the word "boner." It's already happening.
Steve: No. Not now. Not like this. Oh, God! Not like this! [Steve struggles to prevent his erection but it's heard hitting the wall.]
Steve: Damn it.
Roger: Yes! I won.
Francine: You did, Roger. But, in a way, I feel like we all won.
Roger: What? Wait, what?
Francine: Because it brought us all closer together.
Steve: You're right. I thought I was in a race, but really, I was in a family.
Roger: Okay, I see what's happening here. Yeah. You're trying to screw me out of my victory. We all heard his dick hit the wall.

Of Ice and Men - S2-E7

Question: Stan ditches Francine as a skating partner to skate with Roger because he's better than Francine and he does that because he wants to win the skating championship. Later in the episode, Stan realises it's not the winning that matters, then ditches Roger to skate with Francine not to win. But she declines. Why would she want to skate with him and not skate with him when he doesn't want to do it just to win?

Chosen answer: She declines because she is still angry with him for ditching her.
