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.

Super Grover

Volcano - S1-E3

Other mistake: When the needle starts moving, the lines travel across the paper, and disappear off the end (as they should) however towards the end, the lines all compress before they disappear. Since the paper is rolling over the end the lines shouldn't compress.

Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut (1) - S1-E14

Plot hole: Stan's grandad submits the video of Kenny being hit by the train. This gets through into the final, which shocks Stan and Kyle. But shortly the clip would have had to get through to the final by another episode, so shortly Stan and Kyle wouldn't have been so surprised. The video couldn't have been submitted before, as Stans video was submitted first.

Tom's Rhinoplasty - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Stan pukes on to the desk when Miss Ellen says his name at first, it is pink. Then when the camera cuts back to him, it is brown. Then when he pukes the second time and Kyle says "You had waffles for breakfast huh?" it is pink again.

Show generally

Question: Forgot the episode and the season, but does Mark, the kid that gets home schooled and ends up beating Kyle, ever show up in later episodes?

Answer: He appears in at least 5 other episodes, but usually just as a background character. He can be seen at Cartman's party in "Immaginationland". He was also one of the kids trying out to replace Butters in the "Professor Chaos" episode.
