Stupidity: In the cafeteria, Helga pranks Arnold by putting a plate of chocolate pudding on his chair. Arnold sits in the chair and gets pudding on him. Why would anyone not look at the seat before sitting? (00:04:13)
Suggested correction: Plenty of people don't look before sitting down. I once had someone put a pin on my seat in school and I didn't see it.
Longest Monday / Eugene's Pet - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: In "Longest Monday" at one point in the episode, Arnold and Gerald run off of a bus and down an alley. Two fifth graders come chasing after them. In the next scene, you see Arnold and Gerald hiding in the sewer under the 5th graders. Arnold then crawls through a very narrow tube, and Gerald follows. You then see the end of the tube and Gerald come out of the it first, and Arnold climbs out last. It would be impossible for Arnold and Gerald to switch places inside the tube because it was way too narrow.

Suzie: Oh, Oskar, that just doesn't make any sense.
Oskar: Tell me about it. So, can I have the 50 dollars?
Suzie: I don't have 50 dollars, we've already spent my paycheck this week.
Oskar: What about your overtime?
Suzie: I work 20 hours a week overtime already, how many more hours do you want me to work?
Oskar: How about 25?
Suzie: OSKAR!
