Show generally

Other mistake: In the show's introduction, the giant clock comes and smashes a baseball cap on Rocko, growing him up. Then, when the giant blue hand picks him up, the baseball cap disappears mid-shot, with no explanation. (00:00:15)

Audio problem: After Conrad and Sally push the cat over the fence, the cat says, "Alright, Nevins, time to die." Then, as Conrad says, "Cat, you scared him away," the scene is poorly edited, as it cuts back to Conrad and Sally going over the fence, and Conrad makes a noise as the line plays aloud. (In a deleted scene, as Conrad says, "Cat, you scared him away," it simply cuts back to the cat as Conrad says the line behind the fence.)

April Fool's Day - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: Helga makes Arnold sit in a plate of chocolate pudding as a prank, leaving a huge chocolate pudding stain on the back of his shirt.

(00:12:37)

Show generally

Other mistake: During the show's introduction in Seasons 1-8, when the kids chant "SpongeBob SquarePants!" for the second time, the whole screen shifts slightly to the left. As a result, when the lyric, "If nautical nonsense be something you wish" is sung, the far right side of the screen is slightly mirrored. Note how, when any of the four boats are at the right side of the screen, they are briefly duplicated. (00:00:16)

Patrick SmartPants/SquidBob TentaclePants - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: SquidBob TentaclePants: When the mixed-up SpongeBob and Squidward come out of Sandy's matter transporter, Squidward's arm is on the left, and SpongeBob's arm is on the right. Later on at the Krusty Krab, in the shot after Mr. Krabs tells both of them, "Alright, that's it!", we can see that both arms are SpongeBob's, when the left one is supposed to be Squidward's. (00:17:42)

Arnold & Lila / Grand Prix - S3-E13

Audio problem: Arnold and Lila: Near the start, Arnold tells Stinky, "I like Lila, but I don't like her, like her." The camera cuts to a different angle before he says the last "like her," but his mouth doesn't lip sync the words. (00:01:21)

Other mistake: Sid the Vampire Slayer: When Arnold and Sid are in the bathroom, there are two close-up shots of Sid as he speaks to Arnold. In them, the reflection of the door handle is not reversed in the mirror. Also, the style of the door handle in the reflection is different. (00:05:08)
