Hey Arnold! (1996)

Stuck in a Tree / Rhonda Goes Broke - S5-E10

Other mistake: Stuck in a Tree: In Arnold's imagination, when the gang passes the huge tree on the conveyor belt, notice how huge Sid is compared to Rhonda. It looks as if Sid was meant to be in front of Rhonda, but was instead improperly layered behind her. (00:07:43)

Ransom / Ms. Perfect - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Ms. Perfect: When Lila and her father are eating dinner, Lila's spoon is in her can of beans in one shot. When the angle changes and her father says, "You sure are quiet tonight," her spoon disappears from the can of beans (the flap of her can of beans is also layered under her father's left arm), then reappears in the next shot. (00:19:05)

April Fool's Day - S5-E14

Character mistake: Helga makes Arnold sit in a plate of chocolate pudding as a prank. Arnold then asks Grandpa on the phone to bring him a new pair of pants. When Grandpa arrives, he asks Arnold, "What's that on your pants?" The pudding is not on Arnold's pants; it's on the back of his shirt. (00:06:25)

April Fool's Day - S5-E14

Stupidity: In the cafeteria, Helga pranks Arnold by putting a plate of chocolate pudding on his chair. Arnold sits in the chair and gets pudding on him. Why would anyone not look at the seat before sitting? (00:04:13)

Suggested correction: Plenty of people don't look before sitting down. I once had someone put a pin on my seat in school and I didn't see it.

Stupidity: Girl Trouble: In class, Helga pranks Arnold by putting glue on his chair. Arnold sits in the chair and gets glue on him. Why would anyone not look at the seat before sitting? (00:03:14)

I can understand one not catching a small pin on their seat (or clear coloured glue). In fact, that is a pretty common prank. The thing is, Helga put a whole bunch of white glue on Arnold's chair, something so blatantly visible, unlike the other stuff I mentioned. It's just strange to me that Arnold wouldn't see something like that before sitting down in his chair. This also goes for my other entry that you added the same correction for.

Hey Arnold! (1996)

April Fool's Day - S5-E14

Other mistake: When we first see Arnold walking Helga home after school, as Arnold says, "I never meant for this to happen," Arnold and Helga are briefly duplicated. As the shot continues, Arnold's backpack duplicates repeatedly. (00:11:22)

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. Then, when Arnold picks up the gift box from Grandpa and returns to the cafeteria, the chocolate pudding is gone from his shirt but reappears later on when Arnold and Helga are at Slausen's Ice Cream.

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)

Sid the Vampire Slayer / Big Sis - S5-E3

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)

Timberly Loves Arnold / Eugene, Eugene! - S5-E22

Other mistake: Eugene, Eugene!: After Phoebe and Helga walk into the auditorium, the shot fades to inside the auditorium. If you look at Mr. Leichliter in this shot, you will see that his body is missing. As a result, his head and scarf are floating in mid-air. (00:11:50)

Operation Ruthless/The Vacant Lot - S1-E7

Audio problem: Operation Ruthless: When Arnold first starts repeating "Hi Ruth," the shot cuts to Gerald as he says, "Stay cool, Arnold." Arnold can still briefly be heard saying his line, but his mouth doesn't move. (00:03:42)

Operation Ruthless/The Vacant Lot - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Operation Ruthless: When the Cheese Festival is first shown, Arnold and Gerald are standing at the bumper car ride, but in the next shot, they are suddenly standing in a different location, which seems to be at the green building from the beginning of the episode. (00:03:12)

Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5

Rhonda: She asked you to do WHAT to my Caprini cardigan?
Lila: Snip the tags out?
[Helga grabs Lila].
Helga: Lila, what are you doing? You're not supposed to ask her!
Lila: I just didn't feel right about destroying Rhonda's personal property... without getting her permission first. It seemed, well, ever so wrong.
Helga: Yeah, well, guess what? You're ever so FIRED!

Save The Tree / New Teacher - S2-E1

Audio problem: Save the Tree: At the end, when Bob says, "Yeah, I'll just build my beeper emporium in that vacant lot down on Vine Street," his mouth doesn't move until the word "build." Arnold's mouth also doesn't move when he says, "Huh?" (00:11:27)

Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18

Stupidity: Girl Trouble: Helga pulls a nasty prank on Arnold in class by gluing feathers to his bottom. Mr. Simmons sees this, but for whatever reason, does not give Helga detention for it. The next day, Helga spills paint on Arnold, then he throws some on her as revenge. Mr. Simmons sees this and gives Arnold detention even though he was simply fighting back at Helga for pushing him too far. Perhaps Mr. Simmons' brain was on vacation those two days. (00:03:16 - 00:08:42)
