Worldwide Recorder Concert - S3-E17
Continuity mistake: When the boys are running to stop the concert a frame is seen where Mr Garrison and Mr Macky are saying "are those our boys" and though the previous frame showed the gang of 4 running to the stage. Stan and Kyle's hat can be seen standing next to the teachers.
Merry Christmas Charlie Manson! - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: When Cartman tells Elvin that he finished his fudgesicle, the two are standing right next to each other. The shot then cuts to focus on Elvin crying, where Cartman cannot be seen next to him. A couple seconds later, when Cartman hits Elvin over the head, the two are right next to each other, but in the shot of Elvin, Cartman cannot be seen next to him.
Cartman Gets an Anal Probe - S1-E2
Visible crew/equipment: When Chef is singing: "I'm gonna make love to you, woman!" A crew member's hand can be seen moving the character's head. This was later fixed in the DVD version, but it was not fixed in the original version.
Cat Orgy (1) - S3-E7
Continuity mistake: When Shelly and Skyler are on the couch kissing, Skyler's guitar is on the couch. Then Cartman quickly snaps a picture of them, and then only a second later, the guitar is suddenly on the floor without enough time for it to be moved.
Ginger Kids - S9-E11
Continuity mistake: When Stan, Kyle and Kenny are going to Cartman's house to turn him back to normal and get surrounded by the Ginger Kids, Kyle is wearing his pyjamas with a coat over the top. But by the time he and Stan reach the barn to shelter from the attacking Ginger Kids, he's suddenly wearing his normal green trousers.
You Got F*cked in the Ass - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: The end of the show where the dance battle takes place, when Butters is tap dancing his left shoe comes off but when it goes back to him his right shoe is off.
Audio problem: At the start, the girls' volleyball has two commentators. Left is voiced by Trey, the right by Matt. But in their last scene together the right commentator has switched voices.
Put It Down - S21-E2
Continuity mistake: When Craig goes into Tweek's bedroom towards the end, he leaves the door open. However, in the next shot showing the door, it's closed.
Continuity mistake: The microphone is taken by Eric Cartman away from the keyboard closer to the crowd. Another microphone appears back on top of the keyboard and then disappears. (00:13:45)
Continuity mistake: The next day after Ike's bris Kenny is sitting in his seat in class but in the next shots of the class he is not there.
City on the Edge of Forever (a.k.a. Flashbacks) - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: After Cartman recalls the Fonzie story, and the bus starts to fall, Kenny is in the bus, but he was already killed by the monster. When the shot changes, Kenny disappears again.
The Passion of the Jew - S8-E3
Continuity mistake: When Kyle slides a $10 bill into the ticket booth, the $10 bill is shown lying left to right. After a couple of cuts to where the ticket taker is saying "But this is such an important film..." the $10 bill has changed positions. (00:03:00)
Merry Christmas Charlie Manson! - S2-E16
Other mistake: When kids go to Nebraska to see Mr Hankey, some kids in the crowd are Butters and Craig and others usual school friends, despite being hundreds of miles from South Park.
Plot hole: How was Randy even able to get a huge duffel bag full of Tegridy Weed past American Customs to China to begin with? Surely someone at the American airport would've inspected his bag before taking off to China and discovered the marijuana.
Continuity mistake: When Jimmy is talking about Christopher Reeve and Superman while the boys are on the ground playing with toy cars, Stan looks up at Jimmy and says 'Yeah that's nice guys. Were going to stay out of this one.' When the camera cuts to another angle, Stan's head is in a different position.
Plot hole: Mr Mackay says he has been working hard on the tooth decay play for 6 years. When he says why it's so important to him, he says it is because it took his father 2 years ago. The monologue exaggerates the length of time he's spent working on the play by saying it was a long time, and exaggerates how hurt he still is that his father was lost by saying it was quite recent. Perhaps the two numbers were stated the wrong way around. (00:15:35 - 00:16:45)
Continuity mistake: When Randy is giving his second speech in public about the economy, he has his one fist raised, then instantly it is by his side as he turns to walk off. (00:07:30)
The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka - S2-E6
Visible crew/equipment: When Jesus was talking his mouth did not move. (00:19:41)
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.
