** [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batman]] makes a comment that electricity has no effect on Clayface. Later in ''The New Batman Adventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Clayface is easily disabled by electric attacks. Could possibly be handwaved as Batman's original statement being what he thought to be true at the time.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}''
** The show features several conflicting flashbacks depicting how Duckman and Cornfed first met.
** Season 1's "Civil War" has them meeting in a store Cornfed worked at, with Duckman being an obnoxious customer that he saves ''three'' times from a robber.
** Season 3's "The Girls of Route Canal", however, shows Duckman encountering Cornfed years earlier at an airport while looking for Beatrice. This one was explicitly a subversion played for laughs, as Cornfed attempts to introduce himself and help Duckman, but the mallard is in full JerkAss mode, so he barely even acknowledges him outside of insults.
** Finally, Season 4's "From Brad to Worst" shows them as long-time friends in high school. The writers may've been aware of the error, but this one was ''not'' played for laughs.

** An early episode contains a flashback to when Stewie was younger and he had a normal-shaped head. He was jumping on the bed, smacked his head into the ceiling, and squished it into its trademark football shape. In another episode there's a flashback to when Stewie was born and he already had the football head. Of course, that was just a CutawayGag, which only happen for RuleOfFunny anyway, and frequently depict events which almost certainly never happened.
** There's another episode via flashback that shows Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire grew up together in high school, yet another episode later on shows Peter meeting Quagmire and Cleveland for the first time in their adult lives, and another episode after that shows that Quagmire is at least 15 or 20 years older than the rest of the group. Even more confusing, ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' depicts on more than one occasion that Cleveland attended high school in Stoolbend, not Quahog.

** In season 3, the professor specifies that there exist only two parallel universes (the other one seems to be the same as this one except that everyone wears cowboy hats). In season 4, an entire episode revolves around jumping through multiple parallel universes. But perhaps one can argue that the professor's machine had created all of those universes, rather than just a gateway to them. {{Word of God}} {{Hand Wave}}d this by saying that the cowboy universe was really the only parallel universe and the others were ''[[{{Pun}} perpendicular]]'' universes.
** Bender has mentioned being able to remember his own "birth." In season 6, it is revealed that Bender does not remember who was the inspector who approved him on the assembly line, and spends the episode trying to find out.
** Versions of his Birth are also pending to changes. In the episode where he recounts his birth, it was shown that he was built the way he was at that moment in a robot factory in Mexico. In another episode, where the cast turns into babies, Bender slowly de-upgrades along with everyone else, shrinking with each successive step just like everyone else. On top of that, he mentions he's only 5 years old, yet shrinks with everyone else in the aforementioned episode. If he really was 5 years old, he would have disappeared in the goo and never came out (since everyone gets around half a decade younger almost instantly), much like one of the buds on Zoidberg's body. Further muddying things is that Bender's head is over a thousand years old at this point, having spent centuries buried after the events of ''Roswell That Ends Well''.
** In the season 6 episode "Lethal Inspection", Bender discovers that he was built without a backup unit that would download a copy of his programming (i.e., his "soul") onto another robot body. Yet on the later episode "Ghost in the Machines", Bender dies and becomes a ghost, able to possess any machine.
** "Viva Mars Vegas" is rife with this. Where to begin?
*** The gang goes to Mars Vegas even though in "A Farewell to Arms", Mars should've been destroyed.

However "Stench And Stenchibility" has Roberto show up alive and well to rob Zoidberg and Marianne without any explanation. "How The West Was 1010001" has Roberto show up alive again and play a major role in the plot, so it can be assumed his death was entirely retconned (perhaps via backup personality).
*** In the same episode, Zoidberg revealed that he had been dating a girl named Zindy for four years even though 2 season earlier in the episode "Benderama" showed the he owned a wedding album, which Farnsworth shredded.
** "Yo Leela Leela" has a joke where the announcer for the Young People's Choice Awards claims the ceremony is Leela's second time in high heels for a gag where she stumbles getting onstage. Many of her previous formal outfits had high heels, and she never had problems with them then.

** Zoidberg claims in "I Know What You Did Last X-Mas" that he has no family because his species dies when they reproduce. While this does not contradict "Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love", it does contradict "That's Lobstertainmenent!" as it is shown That Zoidberg does have a family member who is still alive named Harold Zoid.
** "Rage Against The Vaccine" has Lrrr and Ndnd use their own son Jrrr as a pawn in sending misinformation on social media to Earth from Omicron Persei 8. This should not be possible due to the episode "T: The Terrestrial" as that episode has Nixon clamp an embargo on Omicron Persei 8 and cut off all communication with them including TV and online messaging. Either that embargo was lifted between 3013 and 3023 or it had become very poorly enforced. Not helping matters was that at the end of the episode, Lrrr and Ndnd received free Explovid vaccinations from Hermes without trouble after contracting the virus.
** In a similar manner to how Fry reached to Lrrr's palace, Leela in "Zapp Gets Cancelled" acted very amazed at seeing the Nimbus and compared it to a "Princess cruise ship with laser cannons". The problem with Leela's reactions to the Nimbus in this scene is that she had not only seen the ship several times but was also on it in several prior episodes including "Love Labors In Space", "Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch" and "Zapp Dingbat."

*** The episode "Angry Dad: The Movie" was a big reference to the original "Angry Dad" show that Bart had created several years earlier.. It doesn't make any sense though. For one, the episode takes place in 2011, and they explicitly state that Bart invented "Angry Dad" in the ''90s''. Due to the floating timeline, this Bart means Bart would have to have been born in TheNoughties, and thus younger than ten when he created it in the original Angry Dad episode. But of course he was the same age back then.
*** There's also, of course, the infamous "That '90s Show" episode in Season 19, which made many fans angry since it does away with all continuity. It practically erases anything that happened prior to Season 10 or so, by saying that Homer and Marge did not even have kids during the 90s. "The Way We Was" all the way back from Season 2, the episode where Homer and Marge meet, is explicitly set in 1974. That means Marge and Homer took more than 20 years to get married. "That 90s show" did away with the continuity in order to bring a more modern reboot of the characters' pasts, but it truly does mess the whole timeline up, even if it is a floating timeline.
** In the much-maligned episode "The Principal and the Pauper", it's revealed that Skinner is actually a former street punk named Armin Tamzarian who served with the real Sgt. Seymour Skinner and assumed his identity when the latter was reported KIA in the Viet Nam War. But in the earlier episode "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song", he managed to reenlist in the Army as Seymour Skinner with no problems despite using the name of a man ''the same military reported to be dead.'' Grandpa Simpson also mentions Sheldon Skinner, the radio officer in his unit in World War II, implied to be Skinner's father, who physically resembles and has the exact same voice as Tamzarian/Skinner rather than the "real" Skinner.
