Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: Helga tries to convince Phoebe that being hall monitor is the greatest job, with plenty of perks. Just as Helga says, "I couldn't let this job go to anyone; I picked you," Helga's hand is on Phoebe's shoulder, and part of Phoebe's shoulder is missing. (00:03:10)

Continuity mistake: At the start, Lila is sitting on a bench near the school wall. However, in the shot where Sheena says, "Oh, that's wonderful," Lila and the bench are missing; then they reappear a moment later. (00:01:13)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: When Helga chooses Phoebe to be the new hall monitor, as Phoebe starts walking to the stage, she is briefly layered behind the boy sitting behind her, and she is layered over Joey and the boy sitting next to him. (00:02:31)

Abner Come Home / The Sewer King - S1-E16
Other mistake: Abner Come Home: In Abner's flashback, Grandpa shows him how to get in and out of the door. We see grass outside the door, but what we should actually see are the stairs that lead to the door, not grass. (00:03:08)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: After all the kids run into Phoebe, when Sid runs past her and her hat comes off, we can see that the hair above her scrunchie is yellow instead of black as it should be. (00:03:44)

Abner Come Home / The Sewer King - S1-E16
Other mistake: Abner Come Home: When Arnold wakes up and starts looking for Abner, as he walks into the kitchen, his hair clips through the doorway. (00:04:14)

Continuity mistake: When Pea Pod Kid is taking Rhonda's marriage predictor test, Sid is walking down the stairs behind them. In the next shot, he disappears. (00:03:44)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: When Helga chooses Phoebe to be the new hall monitor, as Phoebe is walking to the stage, Iggy's hair is incorrectly coloured black instead of brown. (00:02:30)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15
Other mistake: Hall Monitor: When Helga is deciding on the new hall monitor and it shows a shot facing the crowd, many kids sitting in the back are faceless. (00:02:20)

Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Besides the fact that when Helga is sharpening her pencil, the desk arrangement changes, one of the students visible when she looks at Arnold is... Helga. This happens because the shot is taken from the episode "Helga's Love Potion."

Weird Cousin / Baby Oskar - S4-E11
Factual error: Stephen Viksten is credited twice for voicing Oskar.

Mud Bowl / Gerald Moves Out - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Gerald catches his little sister destroying his cassette tape, the book she is wrapping changes color from blue to green. (00:12:30)

Continuity mistake: When the four boys form their line (just before the adults call out "Arnold"), watch Harold's tooth; it goes from the right side of his mouth (as you look at him) to his left side.

The Little Pink Book/Field Trip - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: On the "Presidents of the United States" sign behind Helga, the word "United" becomes "Nvited"

Freeze Frame / Phoebe Cheats - S2-E8
Trivia: Arnold's computer is made by Purdy Electronics; Joseph Purdy wrote the episode.

Arnold's Hat/Stoop Kid - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Grandpa is telling Arnold about how how he tried to cover his head when his hair falls out, the camera cuts back to him with his arm on Arnold's shoulder and Arnold has his hat on, even though the whole story is about him losing his hat.

Continuity mistake: Phoebe is going into the school in one scene, but as the camera moves she vanishes while on screen.

Parents Day - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Arnold's parents leave for the last time, Grandma's hair is dark at first, then it becomes purplish-gray.

Best Man / Cool Party - S3-E12
Other mistake: In the scene where Arnold meets the gang in the alley way, they give ideas to crash Rhonda's party. When Curly tells his idea to go to the zoo and free all the animals and there are shots of the gang looking at him confused,in two of the scenes, you'll notice that when Stinky and someone else looks at him, the background is at the school, not the alley.

Operation Ruthless/The Vacant Lot - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: In Operation Ruthless, the pedal in Helga & Phoebe's bumper car changes color from black to gray to black between shots.
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.
