(12 votes)

Correction: Maybe the PSP, or the money for it, was a gift from a relative. Maybe Kenny's parents had extra money for some reason (i.e. gift, or winning a few hundred dollars from a lottery ticket). Maybe a store was offering a payment plan.

Correction: Not a error, lots of people on welfare have some nice things.

The Death of Eric Cartman - S9-E6

Corrected entry: At the end when Cartman finds out he's not really dead (everyone was just ignoring him), he storms over to Butters and accuses him of lying to him by telling him he'd died. But earlier on, when Cartman and Butters meet, Cartman's the one who told Butters he had died.

Heather Benton

Correction: Cartman is a sociopath and can't ever admit fault: Butters didn't tell him he wasn't dead, therefore, it's all his fault.

The Losing Edge - S9-E5

Corrected entry: When Randy and Bat Dad are fighting, the referees run over saying that if they don't stop fighting, their team will be disqualified. But Randy is seen fighting in all the other Little League games, so why was South Park not disqualified then?

Correction: Because the refs finally had enough of Randy fighting with everyone, and threaten to disqualify the team.

Erection Day - S9-E7

Corrected entry: Jimmy says that he has spent all of his money on the prostitute. But then he exits the restaurant, gets directly into a cab, and later pays the cab driver in cash.

DavidK93

Correction: Jimmy was just exaggerating when he says he had spent all his money, as he was in the restaurant before having paid and how would he have paid there if he HAD spent all his money?

Correction: Unwashed eggs don't need to be refrigerated - in the UK at least, they're sold and stored at room temperature. If these eggs were freshly laid they'd last just fine.

Jon Sandys

Correction: With all the scientific improbabilities & impossibilities that occur within this series, it is very doubtful.

Rlvlk

Correction: Character mistake- the woman who identified Batdad as Tom Nelson simply mixed him up with someone else. On the verge of unlikely, given that he is somewhat of a celebrity figure in Denver, but still entirely possible.

Correction: This isn't a show goof, it's a character goof: the announcer made an honest mistake.

Correction: In "My Future Self n' Me", Jimmy was telling a joke. This is obvious because among other things, if he'd actually taken ecstasy then he wouldn't have been afraid to touch the marijuana. Jimmy presumably heard the "in her vagina" joke somewhere and just recognized it'd be funny in that situation.

The Death of Eric Cartman - S9-E6

Corrected entry: When Cartman is walking the streets thinking he's died, it's a school day since you see him visit the school swarming with pupils and he is seen waiting with the other boys at the bus stop. But if it's a school day, what's Butters doing at home? And if it's because he's sick, why is he outside shovelling the snow off the driveway?

Heather Benton

Correction: Cartman sees Butters on an obviously different day. He leaves the school playground, crying, and eventually crosses a bridge during sunset. When he walks past a house, the sky is dark and stars are visible. In the scene with Butters, it is daytime again. This new day could be a weekend, holiday, or a day that the students have off for some reason (i.e. teacher meetings).

Correction: Butters' parents are constantly grounding him for one reason or another. They may have grounded him from school and had him do chores around the house instead.

Captain Defenestrator

It's actually a different day when Cartman talks to Butters. There were moments with a sunset and a starry night sky, then Butters is shoveling snow in the daytime.

Margaritaville - S13-E3

Question: Can someone explain the subplot with the Margaritaville and Stan going to a bunch of places trying to return it? It's really confusing. And this sounds stupid, but in a recession, wouldn't spending money be bad?

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.
