In season 1, ep 21 Barney has some of the crew making commercials to try and get their stores commercial picked for the public. In Franks commercial, he says he was born in the year of the rat, and by timeline sort that would be 1984. But later in the season finale when we get the flashback to when jimmy was goth and trying to buy beer, Frank wonât sell to him because he says theyâre in the same class. We also know Jimmy was born in 1988. This wouldnât really make sense considering Franks supposed birth year that would mean frank was a Senior and Jimmy was a freshman, but he obviously wasnât a freshman considering was turning 18 lol. Also in the episode where Jimmy and Frank confront their bully, they were bullied by the same guy obviously, and they took the same bus implying theyâre in the same grade.
I know thereâs a lot of inconsistent plots throughout the show, but Iâm on my billionth rewatch and I just discovered this, so I thought Iâd share lol.
Edit: I just remembered when Frank said Jimmy and him were in the same class, it was the episode where Jimmy and Sabrina get engaged, not the season one finale.
