Revealing mistake: When Striker tells McCroskey that he is in the cockpit, McCroskey repeats the name many times and turns to the man behind him saying "Striker" one last time. The man then thinks he said "strike her", so he strikes the woman next to him. You can see the strike misses the woman but she still reacts to it and you can still hear it. (00:50:05)

Sandy's Rocket / Squeaky Boots - S1-E8

Factual error: Sandy's dome is both airtight and watertight to keep any water out of the dome and any air inside the dome. When the rocket, positioned outside of the dome, begins to launch, smoke is coming inside the dome. This shouldn't be able to happen if the dome is airtight and watertight.

And Then There Were Fewer - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: There are several differences during the flashbacks and what actually happened. Such as when Muriel is killed Diane appears with everyone else, but in the flashback she appeared moments later. Second, when everyone appears in front of Derek's dead body there are two differences, Tom doesn't say "Dear God!" in the flashback and Diane appears 1 second later in the flashback. Third, Stephanie doesn't say "Did the cork hit me?" when she is shot in the flashback. Fourth, Priscilla isn't wearing a scarf in the flashback even though when it actually happened she was wearing a scarf. Fifth, when Derek says he is going up to the roof he is standing next to Peter and Lois, in the flashback he standing next to Lois and Jillian. Sixth, when Derek leaves the dining room to go to the balcony, no-one is standing next to the door, but in the flashback Diane and Doctor Hartman are standing right next too the door. Seven, when Muriel is killed she is in the middle of a hallway. But in the flashback, she is killed outside Tom Tucker's room.

South Park (1997)

Chosen answer: It is based on the song 'Ave Santani', the song used in the movie "The Omen" (the lyrics of which are in Latin) The lyrics to their chant are "Hetus. Alte omnibus. Virtu e poquebus. Rectus. Hoc honebus." Which is Latin, Spanish and gibberish. "Omnibus" is Spanish for "bus", while "poquebus" and "honebus" are both Latin-sounding nonsense words. It loosely translates to "Glad. Other bus. [Poquebus] of courage. Correct. This [honebus]".

I entered "Hetus. Alte omnibus. Virtu e poquebus. Rectus. Hoc honebus" into Google translate and it came back as "heathen High to all. Power from few. Right. This honor".
