Continuity mistake: Jerry is smothering George with the pillow when Elaine walks in. First shot and a black nurse is walking behind her. Cut for one second to Jerry, back Elaine and the same guy is still walking, exactly where the view cut the first time. (00:06:25)

Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: Elaine walks up to George in bed, and she asks him if anyone's got his apartment yet. For the brief part of dialogue about the zen lifestyle thing, the top sheet is rolled up in a noticeably different way from the rest of the scene. (00:07:00)

Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: On his deathbed George triumphantly utters "There's nothing wrong with me!"; the doctor cools his enthusiasm down though, saying that he wouldn't go that far. His hands are crossed in front of his body - at the cut though he's suddenly already browsing through George's medical file. (00:08:10)

Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: The doctor is examining George. George yells into the stethoscope so he takes the buds off his ears. Not just that; he removes the instrument and puts it around his neck. George then freaks out and starts naming various odd and even rather harmless conditions; the doc is wearing the stethoscope again. Flirting with Elaine you can see the instrument sorta shuffles around, with part of it exposed and part of it under the scrubs' collar, now the left side, now the right side. When Jerry breaks off their idyll with the Romeo and Juliet reference, the stethoscope is back around his neck, only to be again in use when George asks "With a knife?" (00:08:00)

Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: When the doctor tells George that he can have some ice cream, he touches his arm. Difference is, in the first shot the clipboard is in the right hand, in the close-up it's in the left hand. (00:09:20)

Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: Tor is introduced; in the reaction shot on Jerry and George to the weird hug with Kramer, Jerry is holding his own leg with his both hands. In the wider shot he just uses his left and with nothing else in it. (00:13:30)
21st Feb 2020
Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: During the visit, whenever George asks questions about hot water (can I use it on my face, can it be lukewarm) his hands have a sudden position change between shots. (00:14:50 - 00:16:00)
21st Feb 2020
Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: Jerry gives Tor the piece of paper to decipher; the paper is curled towards him in the reverse shots, and Tor's hand is placed at a different height - just look at the fold. (00:17:30)

Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: The belligerent paramedic shouts at the driver "I want that Chuckle back, do you hear me?" pointing a finger at the opening, but his arm is on his own leg in the following shot. (00:18:10)
21st Feb 2020
Seinfeld (1990)
Revealing mistake: When the two paramedics get off the van to duke it out, look at George lying down in the stretcher. The pillow behind him bears in the last two shots faint purple coloring marks washed out from Jaso Alexander's makeup. (00:18:30)
21st Feb 2020
Seinfeld (1990)
Continuity mistake: Elaine hands the ice cream bucket to George. George is holding the plastic spoon against the container, in his left hand. In the close-up he reaches for the spoon off-camera with his right hand. (00:20:45)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode Jerry tells Elaine that he vaguely remembers "doing something"; Julia Louis-Dreyfus puts the remote down and brings her hand up twice in two separate shots. (00:01:30)

Unfinished Business (2015)
Continuity mistake: In Berlin, Tim and Dan are having a frank chat about the state of the business once Mike left. The wet stains on Tom Wilkinson' shoulders change throughout the scene - particularly obvious when at the end Dan says "We're gonna get this one, Tim" and he answers with his jacket practically dry. (00:42:30)

Unfinished Business (2015)
Factual error: Dave Franco mentions the difficulties finding any hotel in Berlin because of Folson Europe and the Oktoberfest, which would be consistent with mid-September; in the year 2014 when the movie is set, Folsom started on the 13th. But he also adds that the G8 is in town, which is a question mark (couldn't have been the G8 Summit as it was not in Berlin but in Brussels, and in June anyway) and, "this week" the Berlin marathon, who took place on September 28th, definitely too late to be in the same week as Folsom. (00:40:25)

Life as We Know It (2010)
Continuity mistake: The day of Sophie's first birthday, just before the arrival of the babysitter the friends are having a toast with juice. When Messer asks "Are you crying? look at the glass in his hand; it's about 1/3 full, same as the rest the scene. Except after the doorbell rings, when Katherine Heigl asks "Why do you need a babysitter?" there's a brief close-up with Messer's chest in frame, and the glass there is about 2/3 full. (00:11:10)

Life as We Know It (2010)
Continuity mistake: In the shot the parents take with her daughter, Messer and Holly when the baby conks Katherine Heigl on the nose, Josh Duhamel's bottle is visible in frame, neck sticking out. Cut, and it's not visible anymore until a couple seconds later, when he is holding it from above. (00:14:20)

The Statue - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Ray, he kisses his fiancée's hand. Elaine in that shot is holding her papers, with the thicker black book closest to her chest. A couple of shots later when he bows to "Jerry, lord of the manor" the books in Elaine's arms have switched position. (00:05:50)

The Statue - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: George had enough of Ray's pawn shop story and jumps up calling him a thief. Watch the couple at the table; the woman, wearing a purple sweater, has her hand on the man's arm in the reaction shot, when nothing of the sort was happening in the wider angle. (00:15:30)

The Statue - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: During the scene at Monk's, Jerry bumps George on purpose making him spill some coffee. George is holding his cup in the right hand and the menu with the left. In the reverse shot you can see Jason Alexander put the cup down, held in his left hand. (00:14:20)
