Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000 - S4-E2
Factual error: The news anchor calls Cartman a hate crime suspect, but he had already been convicted, that makes him a hate crime convict.
Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000 - S4-E2
Continuity mistake: At first the sled race is supposed to be on Saturday, but late in the show it is on announced as happening on Thursday.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning when the boys come in to the living room, Kenny's brother and Stan's sister Shelley is standing next to him. When it cuts, as Stan's grandpa enters, they're gone.
Continuity mistake: When the boys are heading to see the quintuplets they approach a souvenir stand. In the wide shot all we can see are some CDs on the stand. In the close-up shot there are suddenly prize signs next to the CDs.
Continuity mistake: There is a scene where the FBI show up to the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes meeting by mistake. However, during a close up of the leader's (the geneticist's) face, you can see the bottom of the banner actually says "Man Boy Love", as in the other NAMBLA. (00:16:20)
Continuity mistake: When Kenny approaches his mum with a plunger, she asks, "What are you doing Kenny?" and she is wearing a "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt, but when Kenny tries to plunge her, the phrase "God Bless America" can be seen visible on her T-Shirt.
Audio problem: Just before Kenny explodes from eating all of Mr. Broflovski's antacid tablets, we hear Kyle, Stan and Cartman shout out Kenny's name. One problem - Cartman isn't in the room with them. He isn't even on their debate team. (00:10:35)
Continuity mistake: Pocket carries Pip's luggage away, but a few shots later the luggage suddenly reappears beside them.
A Very Crappy Christmas - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When Kyle tells Mr. Hankey and his family about the $300 he got for the animated Christmas card, the olive stick in the wife's martini glass is facing to the right. When she says to Mr. Hankey "That's not the only thing we've got to get working again if you know what I mean", the olive stick in the martini glass is now facing to the left. The olive stick then returns to facing to the right for the remainder of the scene. (00:07:50)
A Very Crappy Christmas - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: Cartman is already on stage, but in a next shot he arrives and Stan and Kyle ask him what he's you doing there. (00:16:58)
A Very Crappy Christmas - S4-E17
Audio problem: The animated Christmas movie the boys are making is really "the Spirit of Christmas", the movie Trey Parker and Matt Stone made before South Park. The dialogue recorded by the boys is the same as in the original (with a few changes, but when the film is shown later it's the original speech from "The Spirit of Christmas". You can tell by the way the voices are done, and the tone of the voices.
Audio problem: After the news anchor says his first sentence, his voice changes, almost like a different person. (00:04:10)
Audio problem: When the British knight beheads an executive in the office and gets shot through the glass the sounds of these three things aren't there.
Continuity mistake: When Timmy and Jimmy are fighting (when Jimmy's kneeing Timmy in the groin), on the first hit, Timmy has the American flag on his right arm and a yellow circle on the other. On the second hit, the circle is now a yellow ring. On the the fifth hit, the right arm has the yellow ring on it, then he flips over and the American flag's on the other arm.
Scott Tenorman Must Die - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When Kyle and Stan show up to the Chili Con Carnival, we see in the background a woman with a little girl walking towards the right and Kyle and Stan at the left walking towards Eric's booth. When Kyle and Stan get there in the next shot, the woman and the girl are still walking, but they are in the same place as they were when the shot cut. This makes Kyle and Stan able to walk very fast apparently.
Scott Tenorman Must Die - S5-E4
Plot hole: When Scott Tenorman shows the other kids a video of Cartman doing his "piggy" act, the angle of the video shot shows that it could only have been taken from the place where Scott was standing when Cartman originally did it - but Scott is seen at that time to have no video camera or any way to have recorded this.
Scott Tenorman Must Die - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: When Cartman is eating his chili, he almost empties the bowl before he stops to talk, then the shot goes to Scott then back to Cartman and now the bowl is almost full again with a little chili sticking up above the brim.
Answer: Essentially Stan was trying to return the blender that his dad, Randy, had bought because he knew his parents couldn't afford the extra debt. The blender, which represented mortgage-backed securities, had been bought on payment plan, meaning Randy had to make monthly payments, with interest, on something that wasn't essential. The episode represented the recession that was occurring at the time, including the housing bubble and mortgage crisis going on, so there's a lot going on. However, the payment plan (which is to say the debt) had been sold to another company by the store that sold Randy the blender. (To explain why, because of the recession, the store needed cash on hand, and they would only be getting a little money each month, if Randy paid his bill. So the store sells the debt to a company who gives the store the money upfront. Think of the J.G. Wentworth commercials, "I have a structured settlement, but I need cash now".) Because the store sold the debt, in ridiculous fashion, Stan had to return the blender to the company that bought the debt, although they too sold the debt to another company. Finally he gets to the U.S. treasury who tells him his blender is worth $90 trillion (again a ridiculous exaggeration) meaning that the debt owed is greater than the product is worth and to deride the way government agencies set up their budgets (which requires much more complex economic lessons). Kyle's whole point was people shouldn't fear the economy or see it as a vengeful being, but continue to spend and live as they normally do. Economically speaking, not spending money during a recession creates a longer lasting recession, and to solve a recession, people should spend money, although people and businesses shouldn't acquire debt during a recession because interest rates are higher. But on a personal level, individuals are fearful of losing their jobs during a recession, so they save money in case that should happen. But again, this is complex economics lesson.
