Bad Reputation - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: During "Bad Reputation", as the kids are singing "Ice Ice Baby", their sheets of music continually change position, especially with the people sitting down. For example, in the first shot Mercedes is holding her music in her right hand. In the next shot it's down on her lap. In the third shot she's holding it with both hands, and in the last shot it's in her right hand again.

Acafellas - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Will reads the newspaper review of their concert, the date on the newspaper is February 12, 2009. This date is impossible. Most of the Glee kids who graduated in 2012 were sophomores in season 1, and the only way to be in school around the February 2009 date is if the class of 2012 were 9th graders. Only this is not the case. Also, all the football or basketball episodes in season 1 would all be incorrect. The most likely date for Acafellas is September 2009.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Mercedes writes her name down on the board and starts her name out of alignment from the words "sign up below" When Kurt writes his name down, Mercedes' names has moved across the page and is now aligned with the words "sign up below." (00:05:00)

I Do - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: While Jake is singing to Marley in history class, the clock drastically changes times from one shot to the next.

A Katy or a Gaga - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Sam is talking to and kissing Nurse Penny in her office, Nurse Penny's lanyard keeps moving from the left side (on screen) of her name badge to the right side and also sits on top of the badge. (00:43:00 - 00:45:00)

Hold on to Sixteen - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: During "Control", Blaine's jacket can be seen repeatedly switching from closed to open. Most noticeably when the chorus shouts "oh yeah" and he's seen high-fiving another member of the group on the right of the screen. This is shown two consecutive times from two slightly different angles. The First Time his jacket is open, the second time it got buttoned up. (00:28:25)
