Grandpa's Packard / Phoebe's Little Problem - S5-E19
Continuity mistake: Phoebe's Little Problem: When Phoebe tells the lunch lady what she wants and she questions her choices, the lunch lady is standing behind the counter, as she should be. When she is shown again two shots later, she is standing in front of the counter, when she should be behind it. (00:04:03)
Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: Helga tries to convince Phoebe that being hall monitor is the greatest job, with plenty of perks. Just as Helga says, "I couldn't let this job go to anyone; I picked you," Helga's hand is on Phoebe's shoulder, and part of Phoebe's shoulder is missing. (00:03:10)
Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: After all the kids run into Phoebe, when Sid runs past her and her hat comes off, we can see that the hair above her scrunchie is yellow instead of black as it should be. (00:03:44)
Abner Come Home / The Sewer King - S1-E16
Other mistake: Abner Come Home: When Arnold wakes up and starts looking for Abner, as he walks into the kitchen, his hair clips through the doorway. (00:04:14)
Abner Come Home / The Sewer King - S1-E16
Other mistake: Abner Come Home: In Abner's flashback, Grandpa shows him how to get in and out of the door. We see grass outside the door, but what we should actually see are the stairs that lead to the door, not grass. (00:03:08)
Continuity mistake: At the start, Lila is sitting on a bench near the school wall. However, in the shot where Sheena says, "Oh, that's wonderful," Lila and the bench are missing; then they reappear a moment later. (00:01:13)
Continuity mistake: When Pea Pod Kid is taking Rhonda's marriage predictor test, Sid is walking down the stairs behind them. In the next shot, he disappears. (00:03:44)
Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Other mistake: Love and Cheese: When Arnold and Lila's boat is stuck at the edge of the waterfall, as Lila says, "Arnold, what will we do?" a piece of the boat next to Lila is incorrectly coloured like the background and the seat, so it looks like a hole in the boat. (00:10:14)
Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: When Helga is deciding on the new hall monitor and it shows a shot facing the crowd, many kids sitting in the back are faceless. (00:02:20)
Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: Hall Monitor: In the cafeteria, when Gerald throws his detention slips on the floor, Phoebe gives him another slip. Phoebe is first behind the railing, but in the next shot, she is in front of the railing. In the following shot, she is behind the railing again. (00:08:26)
Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: When Helga chooses Phoebe to be the new hall monitor, as Phoebe is walking to the stage, Iggy's hair is incorrectly coloured black instead of brown. (00:02:30)
Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: When Helga chooses Phoebe to be the new hall monitor, as Phoebe starts walking to the stage, she is briefly layered behind the boy sitting behind her, and she is layered over Joey and the boy sitting next to him. (00:02:31)
Timberly Loves Arnold / Eugene, Eugene! - S5-E22
Other mistake: Eugene, Eugene!: The hat Lila wears with her Betty costume has a yellow crown with a green ribbon around it. However, when Arnold sings, "Nice Guys Finish Last," as he sings, "Take his money, grab his honey," the crown of her hat is entirely green. (00:17:00)
Timberly Loves Arnold / Eugene, Eugene! - S5-E22
Other mistake: Eugene, Eugene!: When the kids sing "Sunny Side Up" at the end, as they sing, "Who cares if the day is foggy and gray?", the crown of Lila's hat disappears for one frame. (00:22:46)
Grandpa's Packard / Phoebe's Little Problem - S5-E19
Other mistake: Phoebe's Little Problem: When Arnold goes into Phoebe's room to cheer her up, the birdcage is reflected in the mirror on the wall, but the birdcage is too far to the right of the mirror, so it shouldn't be reflected. This error is shown again in a later shot where Phoebe tells Arnold, "And I'm very good at checkers." (00:09:13 - 00:09:45)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: Runaway Float: The big beeper float constantly changes appearance during the parade. Some examples: The sign saying "Let's Go Downtown" on the front changes to "Let' Go Downtown" in one shot. The sign saying "Let's Go Downtown" on the back is missing in one shot. The orange base is sometimes blue. The blue city design around the base sometimes isn't there, and it even changes colour. (00:08:17)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Other mistake: Runaway Float: When Bob asks the kids who wants to ride on the float, Arnold says to them it's great the way it is. In one shot, Iggy's hair is incorrectly coloured black instead of brown. (00:05:52)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: Runaway Float: When Arnold reaches the parade float on the bike, Iggy's shirt is incorrectly coloured green instead of purple. It's also green when the float rides past Mayor Dixie. (00:09:45)
Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Besides the fact that when Helga is sharpening her pencil, the desk arrangement changes, one of the students visible when she looks at Arnold is... Helga. This happens because the shot is taken from the episode "Helga's Love Potion."
Weird Cousin / Baby Oskar - S4-E11
Factual error: Stephen Viksten is credited twice for voicing Oskar.
Answer: The episode doesn't really elaborate on who the kid was and what his motives were, so its pure speculation as to why he took it. Perhaps the kid could simply want a ball all for himself and decided to just take it, or was simply a rotten kid. The truth is the kid's motives are not important to the story other than it highlights Arnold was having a lot of trouble getting through the list.
