Other mistake: Helga's Locket: When Helga climbs to the top of the boarding house and looks at Arnold and Grandpa through the window, as Arnold tells Grandpa, "It's embarrassing and weird," Helga's left sleeve is incorrectly coloured pink instead of white. (00:09:02)

Hey Arnold! (1996)

Helga's Locket / Sid and Germs - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Helga's Locket: When Abner takes the locket from Helga at the end, Helga chases after him. In the next shot, they are shown running past the basement window of the boarding house, but that's impossible because they started running away from the basement window in the previous shot.

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.

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)

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.

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.
