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: 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)

Lila: Snip the tags out?
[Helga grabs Lila].

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)

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.
