Big Pink Loser / Bubble Buddy - S2-E3
Revealing mistake: Big Pink Loser: When Patrick is answering phone calls, the third time he picks up and says, "No, this is Patrick", the anchor symbol on his hat briefly vanishes. (00:04:36)
Suggested correction: This mistake can only be detected by freezing the film and advancing frame by frame. It is not visible while watching the film at a normal running speed. According to the rules of this site, this invalidates the error.
So, I reworded the mistake to say that it "briefly vanishes," because it's actually gone for a few frames, not one. I did not advance frame by frame to find the error. If you watch the scene at normal speed, it disappears for a brief moment, then comes back. I assume this correction might have been made without watching the scene, especially since the show was referred to as a "film."
This is not true. You can see it disappear if you watch it at normal speed; it does not require pausing at all. At least, I am able to see it.

Revealing mistake: In the shot that shows the outside of the Krusty Krab (in Krab Borg) they reused the drawing of right before the customers ran out of the building because you can see many customers crowded at the door. This shot lasts about 2 seconds but it's not hard to spot. (00:08:05)
