Corrected entry: Cartman sings "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga while playing Rock Band. He sings the lyrics, "P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face." However, the actual lyrics to the song are, "P-p-p-poker face, f-f-f*** her face." The South Park version of this song is cleaner than the actual song. (00:04:08)

Chicorita's Jealousy!? - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Chikorita is inside a pipe, but in the next shot, the pipe vanishes. (00:01:16)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I watched the shot and Chikorita is not in the pipe to begin with.
Yeah, it just looks like they are in the pipes because the pipes are in front of them, and they are through the pipes. They are not actually inside the pipes.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Corrected entry: At the beginning the Grinch is looking down on Whoville and drumming all his fingers. But when it cuts to another angle, he's suddenly only tapping one of them.
Correction: It doesn't take a minute to go from drumming all fingers to just tapping one of them. They wouldn't need to change scenes for that.
The Grinch is tapping all of his fingers as he looks down at Whoville; then, immediately in the next shot, he's just tapping his index finger. It might not take long for someone to go from tapping all their fingers to just one of them, but we don't see the Grinch adjusting his fingers at all between shots; he just goes from tapping all his fingers to just one finger instantly. I'd say this is a valid mistake.

Honey I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Adam sets down Nick's guitar after breaking it, the head of the guitar is facing towards the loudspeaker, but in the next shot, it is facing away from it. (00:06:41)

My entry talks about the direction the guitar is facing between shots. Your entry does not mention this; it talks about the distance the guitar is from the loudspeaker between shots. That's not the same thing.

Other mistake: 'Imposter' is spelt incorrectly on the Role Reveal. Innersloth spelt it 'Impostor'.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: "Impostor" and "imposter" are both acceptable spellings of the word. Innersloth used "impostor" for the game, which is actually seen more as the correct spelling. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18
Corrected entry: Girl Trouble: Arnold somehow does not see the huge pile of glue that Helga put on his chair before sitting down. (00:03:14)
Correction: Plenty of people don't look before sitting down. I once had someone put a pin on my seat in school and I didn't see it.
I can understand one not catching a small pin on their seat (or clear coloured glue). In fact, that is a pretty common prank. The thing is, Helga put a whole bunch of white glue on Arnold's chair, something so blatantly visible, unlike the other stuff I mentioned. It's just strange to me that Arnold wouldn't see something like that before sitting down in his chair. This also goes for my other entry that you added the same correction for.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Revealing mistake: When the Grinch hits the Christmas decoration with the cue stick, the ball rolls over the Christmas tree, not under.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The Grinch picks up the cane, then hits the Christmas ornament with it. The ornament goes past the Christmas tree (in front of it), then knocks the other ornaments off the tree. What is the mistake? The ornament is not supposed to go behind or "under" the tree.
The green branches (i.e. the tree) that the ornament passes over are several inches off the ground, and therefore it shouldn't have rolled over them since it's supposed to be on the ground. In the next shot, we see the ornament rolling on the ground, where it is rolling under the branches before hitting the base and jumping up the tree.
You are correct. I first thought the mistake was talking about a layering issue, where the ornament was supposed to be layered behind the tree, or something. I'm not sure how I misunderstood that, but nonetheless, you're right.

Recess (1997)
The Great Jungle Gym Stand Off - S1-E21
Other mistake: When TJ says that he and the rest of the gang met at old rusty, it shows you a flashback and the kindergartners are wild, but they only became wild when Gus arrives later (as said in All Growed Down).
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It's not true. After Gus "changed" the kindergartners he was sent away from school.
This correction misses the point of the mistake. In "Recess: All Growed Down," when Gus moves to the school, the kindergartners are shown as "normal," but then Gus changes them to be wild, and they start to have torn clothes and paint on them. However, in the flashback scene in this episode, it shows the gang meeting on the first day (excluding Gus), and they have torn clothes and paint on them. This doesn't make sense because they only became that way when Gus moved to the school.

Toy Story 4 (2019)
Corrected entry: When the stroller rolls out of the antique store and crashes into the railing, in the shot where the lady runs up to it, look at the attendant inside the ticket booth in the background. She is completely frozen, with no animation on her at all. (01:17:05)
Correction: This is simply wrong. The attendant can be seen moving and reacting to what’s going on.
You are likely referring to the shot before the stroller crashes into the railing. The attendant is moving there, but after the stroller crashes and the lady runs up to it, she becomes motionless.
Correction: When the lady runs up to the crashed baby carriage, in this shot the attendant in the booth in the background (seen in this specific shot for 2 seconds) you described as "motionless" and "frozen, with no animation on her at all." This attendant's stance and facial expression realistically convey shock at what has just happened, so she stands there staring with her eyes wide open and her mouth agape for the 2 seconds. Her animation is appropriate for this situation. There's really no mistake, and there's nothing revealing about it.
I suppose I put this mistake under the wrong category, but I never stated that the attendant doesn't react to what happened. You mentioned her stance and facial expression, and I agree with that. But here's the thing: the attendant is standing still, which is fine, but there is no movement to make her look... well, alive. As a result, she looks like a statue. It's an animation error. That's what I'm saying. If I'm still wrong, please explain why, because it really doesn't look right to me.
Within the 2 seconds this attendant is visible, she doesn't look like a statue; she just looks completely transfixed and shocked - perfectly appropriate for the moment. And actually, movement to make her look "alive" is unnecessary because for those 2 seconds she's seen, the fact that she's standing there transfixed, with her shocked expression, is quite human in this instance. Her animation does not appear odd or weird in any way, to me.
I mean, she still looks off to me, but fair enough, I suppose.
I watched this shot a few more times; it's starting to look a bit more natural. I guess with it being a 3D character model, it looked like there wasn't any sign of life with no motion added to her, hence my original thoughts. Despite all that, your argument about her just being appropriately transfixed and shocked is growing on me.

Mr. Bean (1989)
Continuity mistake: Just after Mr. Bean's hand is stomped on by one of the boys, and he lets go of the diving board, the camera pans back to show him falling into the water, but the same shot shows no-one else standing on either of the diving boards. The two boys should have still been standing on the higher one.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This is only an error in the "widescreen," aka cropped version of the episode. In the original 4:3 edit, you can see the two boys at the top of the screen, but the "widescreen" shot cuts them off.
And even then, the boys' legs are still visible in the widescreen version.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Marlin and Coral check on the eggs in the nest, when they first look, no eggs can be seen at the mouth of the cave but a couple of shots later the eggs appear.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The reason the eggs appear is that the camera may have moved downwards, thus closer to the eggs that would have been at the bottom of the hollow. If it was more upwards, as in the first shot, the eggs would have been below the camera's view.
The camera doesn't move down, it zooms out. There are eggs at the mouth of the cave in the second shot, and in the first shot, the same area of the cave is shown, but there are no eggs visible. The different shot sizes don't matter here.

Finding Nemo (2003)
Continuity mistake: As the fishing net is being pulled up, a fisherman is shown to the left of two wires on the boat leaning on his elbow. Then in the very next shot, the fisherman is in between the two wires, and now he is leaning on his hand.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: He isn't between the wires.
Even if he isn't exactly between the wires in the next shot, he still moves between shots, so the mistake is valid.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Continuity mistake: Harold's age is inconsistent throughout the series. Harold has his Bar Mitzvah in "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", establishing that he is 13 years old, and in "Hey Harold!", he tells Patty that he was held back a couple years, which is why he is still in fourth grade. However, in "Helga on the Couch", he is shown in the same preschool class as the other kids, and in "The Journal", he is shown playing in the park with the other kids, and he is a baby just like all of them.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It's possible that Harold wasn't the only student held back, even though he's older than his classmates. Just a thought.
So? How does that justify him being in the same preschool class as the other kids?
He was probably held back in preschool but was not mentioned.
Fair enough, but he is also in "The Journal" which took place before the kids were in preschool. He is shown playing with the other kids as a baby, and there is no sign of an age difference, even though he is supposed to be 4 years older than them at most. All the other main kid characters are around 9 years old in the fourth grade. It's highly unlikely that Harold would be around those kids as a baby.

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
Plot hole: In "Once Bitten", Mr. Krabs never unlocks the doors to the Krusty Krab, but at the end of the episode, Squidward enters with no problem.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Maybe Squidward has a key to the Krusty Krab that Mr. Krabs doesn't know about.
He could still have a key, but we don't see it.
Whether or not Squidward owns a key to the Krusty Krab is beyond the point of the mistake here. The point is that Squidward is able to walk into the Krusty Krab despite the doors being locked, and he doesn't use a key or anything else to unlock them. He just pushes them open.
Maybe the doors were not locked properly.
Correction: It's not the South Park version; it's the Rock Band version. In a game that would be played by children, the game certainly couldn't have that kind of language, so the game uses the radio edit.
LorgSkyegon
Believe it or not, this song actually played completely uncensored on radio stations. That's the version that most people have heard, and most people are not aware that those lyrics are in the song. I'm just more inclined to believe that the show's creators were one of those that didn't catch it, because with South Park being what it is, I really don't see why they wouldn't just go for it if they did catch it.
zenee
The game Rock Band literally uses the radio edit version where the swear words are not used. This shows that they are correct, not that they missed something.
