Fort Collins - S20-E6

Factual error: In the flashback of Cartman watching the Ghostbusters remake, there is a list of times for other movies playing at the theatre shown in the ticket booth. The movies listed are The Accountant, Ghostbusters, The Girl on the Train and Kevin Hart: What Now? The flashback is supposed to take place in the summer, around the time the Ghostbusters remake was released. The Ghostbusters remake was released in the US in July 2016, however the movies, The Accountant, The Girl on the Train and Kevin Hart: What Now? were not released in the US until October 2016, almost three months apart from each other.

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?

Cartman Finds Love - S16-E7

Character mistake: When Cartman goes to wrap the chain around the locker room door, there are two signs that read 'Boy's Locker Room', one on the wall pointing to the locker room and one on the locker room door. The sign has been written incorrectly; the word "boys" has been written with an apostrophe after the Y, spelling out the word "boy's." In this context, the word is supposed to be a plural, not a possessive, so the word "boy's" should just be "boys." If it were written as a plural possessive, the sign would read "boys'."

A Very Crappy Christmas - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Kyle tells Mr. Hankey and his family about the $300 he got for the animated Christmas card, the olive stick in the wife's martini glass is facing to the right. When she says to Mr. Hankey "That's not the only thing we've got to get working again if you know what I mean", the olive stick in the martini glass is now facing to the left. The olive stick then returns to facing to the right for the remainder of the scene. (00:07:50)

Le Petit Tourette - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: When the perv runs into the studio (thinking it's a house), he runs into the Dateline show and runs half way down the stairs. However, when he shoots himself in the head, he falls down two stairs. But in the wide shot, he's at the bottom of the stairs. If it was in the middle of the stairs he should be one step higher.

Insecurity - S16-E10

Continuity mistake: Cartman walks into his house and can't remember the code to turn off the alarm, so he gets a call from the security company. When the man on the phone introduces himself, the clock on the wall to the right of shot reads 2:02, then the time changes to 12:37, then back to 2:02 again.

Chosen answer: It is based on the song 'Ave Santani', the song used in the movie "The Omen" (the lyrics of which are in Latin) The lyrics to their chant are "Hetus. Alte omnibus. Virtu e poquebus. Rectus. Hoc honebus." Which is Latin, Spanish and gibberish. "Omnibus" is Spanish for "bus", while "poquebus" and "honebus" are both Latin-sounding nonsense words. It loosely translates to "Glad. Other bus. [Poquebus] of courage. Correct. This [honebus]".
