Volcano - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the opening the boys get on the school bus. Stan is on the fifth row, Cartman is on the sixth row, Kyle is on the seventh row and Kenny is on the eighth row and there are another two rows behind them. But in the shot after Cartman says "Ample parking day and night! People shouting howdy neighbor!", Kenny is now on the back row. (00:00:10)

Casual Person

Volcano - S1-E3

Plot hole: Scuzzlebutt is trapped by a river of lava but is able to accept thanks from the Mayor. To do this he would had to have crossed a river of lava.

Volcano - S1-E3

Deliberate mistake: When the boys are hunting in the forest, then they start to crawl after the rabbit, however, the background behind them is static as if they were crawling in place.

Moose

Volcano - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Ned, Jimbo and Kenny are out on the fishing boat they have a rocket attached to a rack. After firing the rocket the rack still remains, but in the next shot when they head for shore the rack is gone.

Mortug

Volcano - S1-E3

Other mistake: When the needle starts moving, the lines travel across the paper, and disappear off the end (as they should) however towards the end, the lines all compress before they disappear. Since the paper is rolling over the end the lines shouldn't compress.

Weight Gain 4000 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Garrison is carrying around his gun, it is not the wood finished gun with the wood colored hand grip that he bought, it was the other one that had the grey hand grip. (00:14:20)

Sol Parker

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: He says he will have it (wood finish) then it shows him walking through town. Plenty of time for him to change his mind again.

Ssiscool

Perhaps, but later when Stan and Wendy interrupt him, his gun exhibits wood furniture again. Unless he purchased both, some error has been made here.

Weight Gain 4000 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Mr Garrison announces Kathie-Lee will be presenting an award for Cartman, you see the next scene in the Mayors office. There we can see cleary the curtains are red, then she looks out the window and looking in the office from outside, they are pink, but it goes in the office again and now they are back to red.

Weight Gain 4000 - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: Right after Wendy tries to convince the crowd that Cartman's actual paper was 'Walden' with Cartman's name on it, Stan mentions something about Kyle's mom making tuna fish sandwiches. When he does this, you can kind of see him 'lift' off the background.

Weight Gain 4000 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Garrison asks Officer Barbrady where he can get the best shot or view of Kathy Lee. Barbrady's pants are black. In the next scene when Barbrady takes the next guy's camera his pants are blue.

Ssiscool

Terrance: Wow, Scott really hates us Phillip.
Phillip: Yes, perhaps he's homophobic.
Terrance: But we're not gay, Phillip.
Phillip: We're not?

Show generally

Question: Forgot the episode and the season, but does Mark, the kid that gets home schooled and ends up beating Kyle, ever show up in later episodes?

Answer: He appears in at least 5 other episodes, but usually just as a background character. He can be seen at Cartman's party in "Immaginationland". He was also one of the kids trying out to replace Butters in the "Professor Chaos" episode.
