Back to School / Egg Story - S4-E8

Other mistake: Back to School: After Principal Wartz tells Phil he will find a classroom for him, it cuts to a shot inside Mr. Simmons' classroom. If you look at Sid in this shot, the lower half of his body is cut off. Phoebe's right foot is also layered over him. (00:03:58)

Helga's Locket / Sid and Germs - S5-E7

Plot hole: Helga's Locket: When Grandpa tells Arnold about his grandfather's Shiska-Bob Stick, he says that no one has ever touched it since his grandfather's last barbecue on July 16, 1926. However, in the season 3 episode "Grandpa's Birthday," Grandpa says that his grandfather died in 1921 while he looks at the photo album. (00:09:55)

Helga's Locket / Sid and Germs - S5-E7

Other mistake: Helga's Locket: When Helga climbs to the top of the boarding house and looks at Arnold and Grandpa through the window, as Arnold tells Grandpa, "It's embarrassing and weird," Helga's left sleeve is incorrectly coloured pink instead of white. (00:09:02)

Helga's Locket / Sid and Germs - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: Helga's Locket: When Abner takes the locket from Helga at the end, Helga chases after him. In the next shot, they are shown running past the basement window of the boarding house, but that's impossible because they started running away from the basement window in the previous shot. (00:11:42)

Other mistake: Helga's Locket: When Helga first sneaks into the boarding house, Grandpa is shown trying to open the locket. When the camera pans over to Helga and stops, a small part of Grandpa is still visible; then he disappears mid-shot. (00:03:25)

Timberly Loves Arnold / Eugene, Eugene! - S5-E22

Continuity mistake: Timberly Loves Arnold: When Arnold, Lila, and Timberly are in the field together after the baseball game, Lila helps Arnold up and looks at her watch, which she wasn't wearing previously. Then, when Lila starts walking Timberly home, her watch has vanished from her wrist. (00:06:35)

Stuck in a Tree / Rhonda Goes Broke - S5-E10

Other mistake: Stuck in a Tree: In Arnold's imagination, when the gang passes the huge tree on the conveyor belt, notice how huge Sid is compared to Rhonda. It looks as if Sid was meant to be in front of Rhonda, but was instead improperly layered behind her. (00:07:43)

Ransom / Ms. Perfect - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Ms. Perfect: When Lila and her father are eating dinner, Lila's spoon is in her can of beans in one shot. When the angle changes and her father says, "You sure are quiet tonight," her spoon disappears from the can of beans (the flap of her can of beans is also layered under her father's left arm), then reappears in the next shot. (00:19:05)

April Fool's Day - S5-E14

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)

April Fool's Day - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: Helga makes Arnold sit in a plate of chocolate pudding as a prank, leaving a huge chocolate pudding stain on the back of his shirt. Then, when Arnold picks up the gift box from Grandpa and returns to the cafeteria, the chocolate pudding is gone from his shirt but reappears later on when Arnold and Helga are at Slausen's Ice Cream. (00:12:37)

Arnold & Lila / Grand Prix - S3-E13

Audio problem: Arnold and Lila: Near the start, Arnold tells Stinky, "I like Lila, but I don't like her, like her." The camera cuts to a different angle before he says the last "like her," but his mouth doesn't lip sync the words. (00:01:21)

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!

The List/Haunted Train - S1-E8

Question: Why did that boy steal Arnold's ball? Was that the whole reason he came to the park? He seemed awfully obnoxious and destined to ruin Arnold's day, just wanting more clarity. Thank you.

Answer: The episode doesn't really elaborate on who the kid was and what his motives were, so its pure speculation as to why he took it. Perhaps the kid could simply want a ball all for himself and decided to just take it, or was simply a rotten kid. The truth is the kid's motives are not important to the story other than it highlights Arnold was having a lot of trouble getting through the list.
