Weight Gain 4000 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Garrison asks Officer Barbrady where he can get the best shot or view of Kathy Lee. Barbrady's pants are black. In the next scene when Barbrady takes the next guy's camera his pants are blue.

Cartmanland - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: When Cartman is withdrawing his money from the bank the teller counts out the last $1000 and then shifts the pile towards the bigger pile, without putting a paper band around the notes but in the next scene all the piles have paper bands.

Free Hat - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: When Spielberg and Lucas are sitting behind the boys, the camera shows them to be sitting up higher that they are in other shots, when it is focused on them, you should be able to see the tops of the kids heads sitting in front of them. (00:08:00)

Sol Parker

You Got F*cked in the Ass - S8-E4

Revealing mistake: When the "Asian Kid" is first introduced on the Dance Dance Revolution machine, the arrows are going up the left side (Player 1 side) of the screen, but he is obviously playing on player 2's side. To make matters even worse, the dance pattern on screen doesn't match the way he's dancing, yet the screen also shows that he's doing pretty well.

Death - S1-E7

Other mistake: Both Kyle's and Stan's mothers are identified in this episode as Carol. They later become Sheila and Sharon.

CC

Conjoined Fetus Lady - S2-E5

Factual error: When Mr. Mackey, Principal Victoria, and Nurse Gollum are eating dinner with the Broslofskis, notice pork on the table. Since the Broslofskis are practicing Jews, they would have not allowed unclean food (such as pork) in their home.

Onesimos

Death - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Warsog gives his "statement" to the townspeople, he removes his glasses when telling them to direct their complaints to a nearby wall. Then, as he walks back inside, his glasses are back on his head. (00:15:05)

Pink Eye - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: At the end when the airplane hits Kenny, there is a gravestone with a cross on it behind him, but all the time when the other three boys were talking, none of the gravestones behind them had crosses.

Margaritaville - S13-E3

Question: Can someone explain the subplot with the Margaritaville and Stan going to a bunch of places trying to return it? It's really confusing. And this sounds stupid, but in a recession, wouldn't spending money be bad?

Answer: Essentially Stan was trying to return the blender that his dad, Randy, had bought because he knew his parents couldn't afford the extra debt. The blender, which represented mortgage-backed securities, had been bought on payment plan, meaning Randy had to make monthly payments, with interest, on something that wasn't essential. The episode represented the recession that was occurring at the time, including the housing bubble and mortgage crisis going on, so there's a lot going on. However, the payment plan (which is to say the debt) had been sold to another company by the store that sold Randy the blender. (To explain why, because of the recession, the store needed cash on hand, and they would only be getting a little money each month, if Randy paid his bill. So the store sells the debt to a company who gives the store the money upfront. Think of the J.G. Wentworth commercials, "I have a structured settlement, but I need cash now".) Because the store sold the debt, in ridiculous fashion, Stan had to return the blender to the company that bought the debt, although they too sold the debt to another company. Finally he gets to the U.S. treasury who tells him his blender is worth $90 trillion (again a ridiculous exaggeration) meaning that the debt owed is greater than the product is worth and to deride the way government agencies set up their budgets (which requires much more complex economic lessons). Kyle's whole point was people shouldn't fear the economy or see it as a vengeful being, but continue to spend and live as they normally do. Economically speaking, not spending money during a recession creates a longer lasting recession, and to solve a recession, people should spend money, although people and businesses shouldn't acquire debt during a recession because interest rates are higher. But on a personal level, individuals are fearful of losing their jobs during a recession, so they save money in case that should happen. But again, this is complex economics lesson.
