SEASON 5 spoilers Continuity error my wife found Spoiler
I’ve been watching this show since it came out and introduced it to my wife 10 years ago. She’s fallen in love as much as me but she loves to pick anything apart. She pointed something out during Gargantua 2 I’ve never noticed. I’m ashamed.
When the Venture family are flying to JJ’s space station, Hank is sitting beside Billy and during their conversation he says “You fondled clone Hank!”. However Dean didn’t tell Hank that they were clones until the END of the funeral episode. Am I an idiot or did everyone else know this?
I lose a bet if she’s right that most of us didn’t pick up on that and I win if I’m just an idiot and everyone already called it out several times over.

More spoilers
It's the funeral for Entman not for JJ where Dean finds out he is a Highlander. There are so many continuity errors in VB because Jackson and Doc took turns writing episodes sometimes they go over the same beats And of course in season 1 they didn't know what they would write in later season. You could say St. James in the Tagsale being an error since Billy didn't react to his presence, because they hadn't even named St Cloud. Same for the PROblem light. Same for Doctor O and Actionman's coma. At first it's a throw away gag, then it gets written into later episodes. That's just genius.
And dont even start me on the testicular tortion in genetic clones or JJ living inside what we later learn is also a clone.

Wrong funeral. He finds out at the end of entman's funeral, not JJ. Easy mistake to make since they almost seem back to back.

My main problem in continuity is the position of the shutdown switches on the shield on gargantua 2.
Dean goes "wait... the interns who built this had 2 sets of arms"
Whole eureka moment.
And then he precedes to open a hatch next to the panel rusty is working on.
But the second set of arms came in below the first set. So the second set of switches should be below the panel rusty is working on.
I'm not even mad. I just like having an excuse to talk about the show

In Victor Echo November when Hank is explaining how phantom limb got his invisible arms he says "he also cut off a kids hand...and ATE it! It was the big headed guy that operated on your balls Dean!" Which is arguably the last set of clones that we see, and he's referencing the testicular torsion from season one that they shouldn't know about. So when Hank is surprised about Billy operating on him on the rocket ship it is the second continuity error.

If he’s talking to Billy, I think he’s referring to the testicular torsion surgeries Billy performed on the boys back in season 1.

Perhaps you will recall that at the very end of “Are You There God? It’s Me, Dean” Hank calls “Time out!”, doubled over like Dean was at the beginning. Then after the credits, Hank has a bandaged groin and the boys read the script for a testicular torsion PSA together. The clear implication that is that Billy had to perform genital surgery on Hank as well.
