Continuity mistake: When Cartman puts the bag down when outside the Chinese place, the bag moves closer to the grass between shots. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: When Cartman is freaking out in P.F. Chengs, we see him from Butters' view across the table, and the red bottle with a label on is facing the camera/Butters. When the camera changes to the side, the bottle also changes with no-one touching it as the bottle is now facing the side. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: S12, E14 'Ungroundable': When Butters enters the computer room at the start, he approaches from the screen right. Camera cuts to the doorway and now he appears from screen left. (00:01:25)
Factual error: When the audience is shown waiting for the concert to start, a crescent moon is shown above the horizon with the curve facing away from the horizon. This is not possible as the curve of the crescent moon during darkness is always facing into the horizon.
Continuity mistake: When Randy is giving his second speech in public about the economy, he has his one fist raised, then instantly it is by his side as he turns to walk off. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: In the exterior shot of the Marsh house, before the family dinner scene, the door knob is at the right side of the door, but in the following shots that door knob is at the opposite side of the door. (00:10:00 - 00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: When Randy and Stan leave the dinner table Sharon tells them about her friend Abby, and there's a table beside the front door with two drawers, but when Randy opens the front door the table now has legs and the drawers are gone, then it reverts back. (00:11:30)
Continuity mistake: When Michael Jackson returns to Purgatory, keep an eye on Patrick Swayze. He is shown sitting on the left hand side of the front row. His clothes change from the black shirt and pants he wore in Dirty Dancing to a black fleece with a grey shirt and lighter grey pants. This clothing change occurs multiple times throughout the scene. (00:21:05)
Other mistake: When the guys play Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" on Rock Band 2, there are a few problems. The TV screen shows 4 people playing (the guitar, bass, drums, and vocals) when actually 3 people are playing, the TV repeats itself on a constant loop, and there are no lyrics on the screen shown. Also the drums go from right to left: blue, yellow, red, and green. The drums are supposed to go red, yellow, blue, and green.
Continuity mistake: When they shoot the monkeys dead, the one on the viewer's left head tilts down with his chin to his right. In the immediate next shot, his chin is to his left.
Continuity mistake: When Stan and the user play Yahtzee, the dice is facing parallel to the cup. Then the dice faces perpendicular to the cup, then back to parallel. (00:14:40)
Revealing mistake: When Kenny is at Mick's Lanes, his eyes disappear as he pounds his hands on the table and screams through his parka.
Coon vs. Coon and Friends - S14-E13
Deliberate mistake: S14 Ep13 Coon vs. Coon & Friends: in the South Park universe, Canadians are depicted as looking the same (beady eyes, stick legs, heads sliced in half). Since Justin Bieber is Canadian, he should look similar to Terrance and Philip instead of having a normal face and body.
Suggested correction: I don't see how this is a mistake, deliberate or otherwise. While the creators of the show have established that to be the appearance for Canadian characters, they are well within their rights to invoke artistic license whenever they see fit. Is it also a mistake that Mel Gibson and Saddam Hussein have photorealistic faces when the majority of other characters have been established as having cartoon faces?
Plot hole: Mr Mackay says he has been working hard on the tooth decay play for 6 years. When he says why it's so important to him, he says it is because it took his father 2 years ago. The monologue exaggerates the length of time he's spent working on the play by saying it was a long time, and exaggerates how hurt he still is that his father was lost by saying it was quite recent. Perhaps the two numbers were stated the wrong way around. (00:15:35 - 00:16:45)
Other mistake: In "Broadway Bro Down," when Shelly and Larry are playing Settlers of Catan, Shelly tells him, "And I got a victory point for the most roads connecting settlements." In the game, there's a two victory point bonus for the longest road, but no points for getting the most roads. (00:14:10)
Character mistake: When Cartman goes to wrap the chain around the locker room door, there are two signs that read 'Boy's Locker Room', one on the wall pointing to the locker room and one on the locker room door. The sign has been written incorrectly; the word "boys" has been written with an apostrophe after the Y, spelling out the word "boy's." In this context, the word is supposed to be a plural, not a possessive, so the word "boy's" should just be "boys." If it were written as a plural possessive, the sign would read "boys'."
Plot hole: When Cartman is 'confessing his love' to Kyle at the basketball game, the crowd all turn to Kyle and say "Awww" to him. By the time the crowd turn to Kyle, all Cartman had said was that he loves Kyle. No image or live footage of Kyle was ever shown by that point, so how would anyone in the crowd have known who Kyle was or where he was even sitting?
Continuity mistake: During the Butters motivational speech, from the front Craig's tinfoil hat is off and his woolly one is shown, but from behind, the tinfoil one is on and his woolly hat is under it. (00:06:00 - 00:07:00)
Insecurity - S16-E10
Continuity mistake: Cartman walks into his house and can't remember the code to turn off the alarm, so he gets a call from the security company. When the man on the phone introduces himself, the clock on the wall to the right of shot reads 2:02, then the time changes to 12:37, then back to 2:02 again.
Factual error: Cartman flies from state to state. When Cartman reaches Ohio, the time says 5:00pm CST (Central Standard Time). However, if that was Ohio, it should have said 5:00pm EST (Eastern Standard Time).
