Tour de Pond / Teachers Strike - S2-E18
Other mistake: Tour de Pond: When Arnold, Gerald, and Grandpa are first shown at the Tour de Pond race, their ship is not sitting on the sidewalk, but rather on the edge of it, which makes it look like it’s floating in mid-air. (00:05:02)
Tour de Pond / Teachers Strike - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: Tour de Pond: When Gerald puts the boat made out of the block of wood in the fish tank, the sail is pointing towards the right, but when the boat sinks, it's pointing towards the left. (00:02:18)
Tour de Pond / Teachers Strike - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: Tour de Pond: When Arnold makes a boat out of a block of wood, there is a blue cup on the newspapers with gray scissors and another orange object in it. In the next shot, the cup becomes green, and the scissors and other object become pink. As the scene continues, they change colours a few more times. The pencils also become the same colour as the newspapers. (00:02:11 - 00:03:49)
Simmons' Documentary / Big Bob's Crisis - S5-E20
Continuity mistake: Simmons' Documentary: Rhonda wears a black top and red skirt on the day of the documentary, but in one shot, she is wearing her regular outfit. She is also wearing her regular outfit in one shot when the class is watching the documentary. (00:06:12 - 00:11:16)
Simmons' Documentary / Big Bob's Crisis - S5-E20
Revealing mistake: Simmons' Documentary: When Phoebe asks Mr. Simmons, "If we're required to do book reports, do we need to choose a book?", her mouth disappears twice. This is easier to see in slow motion, but it's still visible at normal speed. (00:04:27)
Simmons' Documentary / Big Bob's Crisis - S5-E20
Continuity mistake: Simmons' Documentary: When Mr. Simmons explains the documentary and the kids leave the classroom, Arnold is holding a purple book. In the next shot, it changes direction while in his hand. (00:01:50)
Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Plot hole: Love and Cheese: This episode takes place at the Cheese Fair. However, the episode "Operation: Ruthless" also takes place at the Cheese Fair, and it is stated in that episode that the Cheese Fair is an annual event. It can't be that this episode takes place a year later, as the series takes place during the same fourth-grade school year.
Full Moon / Student Teacher - S4-E1
Revealing mistake: Full Moon: When Harold tells Arnold, "Remember when I said you didn't have any guts because you wouldn't moon Principal Wartz?" his mouth briefly disappears. This is easier to see in slow motion but is still visible at normal speed. (00:11:16)
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.
