Other mistake: Whenever Chef has his pointer finger up, if you see his hand, he has 5 fingers, but when he opens them all the way, he only has four.
Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride - S1-E5
Other mistake: You can see Token in the episode as white, not black.
Other mistake: Both Kyle's and Stan's mothers are identified in this episode as Carol. They later become Sheila and Sharon.
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.
The Succubus (a.k.a. Chef's Mama) - S3-E3
Other mistake: Cartman says, "What? What happened you guys? Is Kenny okay?" The bandages only covered his eyes, not his ears, so even if he's blinded by his bandages, he still should have been able to hear Stan shouting, "Oh my God! She killed Kenny!" and Kyle's reply "You bastard!"
The Tooth Fairy's TATS 2000 - S4-E1
Other mistake: Cartman is excited because the "tooth fairy" left him two dollars in exchange for a tooth. When he holds up the two bills, they are identical. Both have the same serial number.
Other mistake: When the boys cause a mini tremor by blowing up the girls' base, the time at which it occurs is strange because when they do it, both Stan's parents are at home (even though they both have jobs), Ms. Choksondik and Mr. Mackey are at Choksondik's house getting it on (indicating that school is over) and the other teachers are still at the school.
Butters' Very Own Episode - S5-E14
Other mistake: When Butters is travelling down the river in his mom's car, the passenger door opens just before the car hits the rock.
The Biggest Douche in the Universe - S6-E15
Other mistake: When the trailer for 'Kenny' is being shown, the label on the pot roast has McGilroy written on it, instead of McElroy (which is Chef's actual surname).
Other mistake: Butters tries to get a "seamen sample", and is on it for two days straight. The mistake: You can see Butters' head in the school classroom, while he's still supposed to be in Cartman's bathroom. (00:15:30)
Other mistake: All the Hippies have spent a week smoking weed. Yet Stan, Kyle and Kenny, who have been with them, are not affected by the passive smoke. (00:18:00)
Ginger Kids - S9-E11
Other mistake: When Cartman is made into a ginger kid, his hair is suddenly longer than before and he has a fringe.
Make Love, Not Warcraft - S10-E8
Other mistake: Everyone in the entire game (including the Koreans) has no armor on except for the boys and their friends from school.
Other mistake: When the kids are playing "Carry On Wayward Son," there are no notes on the TV in the one area. However the boys play the notes there and get it right.
Other mistake: In this episode we see Britney in the hospital and there is a chart on the end of her bed. However the chart is identical to the one that was on the end of Cartman's bed in the previous episode. (00:07:50)
Other mistake: During the fight between the Internet stars, no one kills Afro Ninja, but he is dead at the end.
Other mistake: When the camp guards take the internet away, the computer cable being dragged away is not plugged into anything, even though the computer was on. (00:17:15)
Other mistake: When the guys play Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" on Rock Band 2, there are a few problems. The TV screen shows 4 people playing (the guitar, bass, drums, and vocals) when actually 3 people are playing, the TV repeats itself on a constant loop, and there are no lyrics on the screen shown. Also the drums go from right to left: blue, yellow, red, and green. The drums are supposed to go red, yellow, blue, and green.
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.
