Other mistake: When we first see Arnold walking Helga home after school, as Arnold says, "I never meant for this to happen," Arnold and Helga are briefly duplicated. As the shot continues, Arnold's backpack duplicates repeatedly. (00:11:22)
Hey Arnold! (1996)
1 other mistake in April Fool's Day

Factual error: Stephen Viksten is credited twice for voicing Oskar.
Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5
Rhonda: She asked you to do WHAT to my Caprini cardigan?
Lila: Snip the tags out?
[Helga grabs Lila].
Helga: Lila, what are you doing? You're not supposed to ask her!
Lila: I just didn't feel right about destroying Rhonda's personal property... without getting her permission first. It seemed, well, ever so wrong.
Helga: Yeah, well, guess what? You're ever so FIRED!
Freeze Frame / Phoebe Cheats - S2-E8
Trivia: Arnold's computer is made by Purdy Electronics; Joseph Purdy wrote the episode.
Question: Does anybody know what year this show takes place? I've noticed that there are all these present day video games, keyboards, etc. on the show, but all the cars are old fashioned.
