Foodfight! (2012)

Plot hole: After Lady X is taken away, the doctor arrives with an antidote that can bring the Ikes back to life, which he then gives to Polar Penguin who is just sitting in a Copa-Banana chair in the middle of the street. What exactly was Polar's dead body doing there? Last time he was seen, he was at the Copa-Banana and had died from his injuries, but his body is shown sitting in a chair in the middle of the street. The doctor creating an antidote that would undo his injuries was completely unplanned, so there is no real reason for his body to be out in the middle of the street like this. (01:20:45)

Foodfight! (2012)

Plot hole: Dex tells Dan to take Lady X to the expiration station for recall which he then does, but within less than a minute, Dan has returned to the group. No way could he have taken Lady X to the expiration station and made it back in that short of a time frame. (01:20:25 - 01:21:10)

Foodfight! mistake picture

Plot hole: When Dex and Dan get separated in the store, Dex flies in a bottle of pop to retrieve Dan, but there is nothing attached to the bottle that is allowing it to fly. It is just floating in the air, with no explanation as to how it is doing so. (00:41:05)

Foodfight! (2012)

Plot hole: After Dex saves the baby kittens from the Fat Cat Burglar, he makes his descent to the park where a crowd is waiting for his arrival to celebrate his 500th consecutive case solved; the 500th case being Dex saving the kittens. The problem is, Dex only saved the kittens, and therefore only solved the 500th case, mere seconds before landing in the park, so there is no way the news of this could have broke in that short span of time, and nowhere near enough time for the crowd to be ready in the park for his arrival. The crowd leaves immediately after, so it is clear they were there for Dex and could have not been there for anything else. (00:04:20)

Foodfight! (2012)

Foodfight! mistake picture

Plot hole: When Dex is rescuing the baby kittens from the Fat Cat Burglar on the hot air balloon, whilst it is flying over the city, the four hairless hamster henchmen fly off the balloon and plummet down onto the street. Dex then saves the baby kittens and lands in the park, where two of the henchmen are shown landing in the park after plummeting. Three problems with this. 1) The henchmen fell before Dex saved the kittens and made his way down to the park, so how did they land on the ground long after Dex landed on the ground? 2) How did they land in the park if they plummeted from above a street? 3) How are there only two henchmen shown landing when four of them were shown falling all at once?

Foodfight! (2012)

Plot hole: When the supermarket changes into the Marketropolis world for the first time, all of the inhabitants are able to come outside, but a large quantity of cars can be seen driving the streets. The market only changed into their world, and allowed them to come outside mere seconds earlier. This is too quick for the inhabitants to create this quantity of cars driving in the short span of time. (00:01:20)

Red Dwarf (1988)

Backwards - S3-E1

Plot hole: The barroom tidy scene in the pub makes absolutely no sense. It is established that this fight started because Lister and the Cat uneat a man's pie, which causes the man to punch Lister, and then the barroom brawl happens, but the events are reversed due to this version of Earth being set in a backwards reality. However, if the events of this fight are put into chronological order, this would mean that Lister uneating the man's pie and being punched by him would have been the last thing to happen during this fight, as it was the first thing to happen in reverse order, and therefore, would also means that there would have been no real reason for the pub patrons would get into a brawl in the first place, as nothing had occurred at that time.

Explorers on the Moon: Part 1 - S3-E11

Plot hole: Where did Thomson and Thompson get the pyjamas from? Tintin, Haddock, Calculus and Wolff did not bring any pyjamas aboard the shuttle with them because they were planning on sleeping in their clothes and Thomson and Thompson were only on the rocket because they were inspecting it before take-off, so they wouldn't have brought anything with them.

Despicable Me 3 (2017)

Plot hole: After the car is destroyed, Gru is knocked unconscious and Dru enters Balthazar Bratt's robot to destroy the robot's core from the inside. Once Gru wakes up, Balthazar attempts to kill him with the robot's laser and Dru destroys the core causing the robot to collapse. Gru then yells out "Dru!" and runs over to the wreckage of the robot to try and find him. The problem with this is that since Gru was knocked unconscious before Dru entered the robot, and Gru knew nothing of Dru's plan to disable the robot's core, there is no way for him to know that Dru was inside the robot.

Suggested correction: Educated guess on Gru's part? We know he is smart and self-possessed enough for such by now.

Plot hole: Cruise leaves Lugnut to go buy he and Coupe some seats and mere seconds after leaving, Coupe appears in the scene and talks with Lugnut. Coupe asks if he has seen Cruise, but even if Cruise had already left to go buy tickets, Coupe would have already seen him when approaching Lugnut since she only arrived seconds after he left.

The Seven Crystal Balls: Part 1 - S3-E3

Plot hole: Two clown performers finish their act and the curtain closes. Tintin and Haddock then talk for a bit about who will be performing before the musician, but within the span of merely just a few seconds, the next act is suddenly on stage and ready to perform. No way could the clowns have left the stage and the next act have been set up within that short of a time span. (00:04:45)

The Red Sea Sharks: Part 1 - S3-E1

Plot hole: When Tintin is listening in on Dawson's conversation, he realises an alarm clock had been planted in his coat pocket as a prank by Abdullah. Even if he didn't see the clock in his pocket beforehand, there is no reason why he wouldn't have felt the added weight the clock would have had on the coat. (00:09:35)

The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1

Plot hole: Whilst Allan is searching the decks below for Tintin, a crew member is keeping watch of Captain Haddock in his quarters. Tintin secretly reveals to Haddock that he is hiding underneath his bed, without letting the crew member notice him and Haddock then looks towards him.

Norm of the North (2016)

Plot hole: When Norm is being interviewed on the talk show, he is shown a clip from when he stopped Mr. Greene in the restaurant with footage that was taken on the phones of the patrons at the restaurant. A strong majority of the footage shown would be virtually impossible to shoot taking into consideration that it was filmed with a camera phone. Some shots take place in a position none of the patrons were even standing in and some shots feature close ups, zoom outs and precise camera movements following the action almost accurately which would have been impossible to film in real time.

Norm of the North (2016)

Plot hole: When Norm is stuck under the satellite tower after disposing of the condos, he has flashbacks to numerous moments earlier on in the movie. One of the flashbacks is of Socrates saluting Norm, but the moment where Socrates salutes Norm did not occur until he was on the cargo ship being shipped off to New York and was something that he did not see Socrates do; there would be no way for Norm to have this flashback.

Cartman Finds Love - S16-E7

Plot hole: When Cartman is 'confessing his love' to Kyle at the basketball game, the crowd all turn to Kyle and say "Awww" to him. By the time the crowd turn to Kyle, all Cartman had said was that he loves Kyle. No image or live footage of Kyle was ever shown by that point, so how would anyone in the crowd have known who Kyle was or where he was even sitting?

Land of Black Gold: Part 1 - S2-E10

Plot hole: Thomson and Thompson fall asleep whilst driving their jeep and are arrested because whilst they were asleep, they drove into and damaged several people's markets and as well as driving into the wall of a building. Although the decision to arrest them would seem normal due to the vandalism, it does not make sense why both of the detectives would have gotten arrested. Even if they both fell asleep at the wheel, only one of the detectives was actually responsible for the vandalism caused by this. (00:19:00)

Plot hole: Bartman Begins: When Jimbo reveals to Bart that Skinner hired them to rob the museum, Bart says "Principal Skinner?" and looks to his right and sees Principal Skinner standing there. The problem in this scenario is that there is nothing there to make Bart look towards the right. Skinner was never heard approaching nor did he ever state he was there before Bart looked and no-one else in the scene even told Bart that Skinner was approaching.
