With Apologies to Jesse Jackson - S11-E1

Factual error: In the bonus round, the automatic letters R, S, T, L, E came up and Randy chose "B, N, G, O" as his 4 letters to add. In the real Wheel of Fortune game, the automatic letters that come up are R, S, T, N, L, E. "N" is always included automatically so it would never be picked by the contestant. This was obviously done for the plot of the episode.

Mecha-Streisand - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: While Kyle is asleep in his bedroom the Triangle of Zinthar is on the dresser beside the framed photo, but in the next shot when the cut ceiling falls onto the floor the Triangle has vanished, then it reappears on the dresser where it is supposed to be. (00:07:40)

Over Logging - S12-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Marsh family show up at the Broflovskis in a panic, the front door's exterior door knob is at the left side of the door, but when both families decide to go to Starbucks the front door of the house opens the opposite way. (00:02:55)

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.

Cartman Joins NAMBLA - S4-E5

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)

Pee - S13-E14

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.

Margaritaville - S13-E3

Question: Can someone explain the subplot with the Margaritaville and Stan going to a bunch of places trying to return it? It's really confusing. And this sounds stupid, but in a recession, wouldn't spending money be bad?

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.
