Well, folks, it should come as no surprise that the infamous Game of Thrones coffee cup fail inspired one of Saturday Night Live's skits on May 11. In the "Continuity Errors" sketch, a fictional TV series takes a look back at old shows and movies with editing and production blunders akin to the coffee cup that was casually sitting next to Emilia Clarke's Game of Thrones character, Daenerys Targaryen. Some of the skit's hilarious "mistakes" include a character in Roots sipping a Big Gulp drink and a scene in Shakespeare in Love that features an *NSYNC poster in the background. Can you spot all of the continuity errors in the sketch? (Trust me, it's not that hard.)
