One thread per episode and I'll edit *this* post with all of the bloopers you guys come up with.

Bloopers in red require IMMEDIATE fixing.
Bloopers in orange are annoying and it would be great if they were fixed.
All other bloopers, we can deal with them without caring too much.

Animation: Hells Pass Hospital. During the cuts showing the doctors, the background of the hallway behind them changes ever-so-slightly.

Perspective: Airport Hilton. Jimmy and Butters sit two tables behind Cartman (technically, "5 o'clock"), yet in the cut where Butters says "Great benefit, Eric!", it *appears* that they are sitting at his "3 o'clock" because of the profile pose he's in. He should have been animated in a 45-degree-to-the-camera pose.

Animation: Airport Hilton: The cuts before and after the "Great benefit, Eric!" cut. The dishes that the waitress carries move locations.

Animation: Airport Hilton: During the latter cuts showing Eric and Ms. Cartman. The location of Ms. Cartman's glass of wine was initially in a different position. In earlier cuts during the same scene, the glass of wine is mysteriously absent.

Animation: School playground: During the initial stages of the Kyle and Cartman confrontation. The brick wall behind Kyle changes in the "Taddletale!?" cut.

Animation: Principal Victoria's office. When Principal Victoria slams the door in the boys' (Kyle's and Cartman's) faces, we see a white lamp on her desk. In the previous cuts, this lamp wasn't there.

Factual: Principal Victoria's office. Not really a blooper as such, but there's a calendar on the wall outside her office. We're not in October

Animation: Cartman's room. Location difference of:

• the left piece of the broken rocket and the Terrance doll,
• the Terrance doll and the toy box, and
• the Wellington Bear recorder's position on the drawer,

between the first and second cut.
Also, if we're to assume real-time continuity between the two cuts, in the second cut:

• the left piece of the Mel Gibson poster appears squished,
• the right piece of the poster has already landed, and
• Kyle's face changes from close-eyed >.< to open-eyed O.O

Animation: Cartman's room. The position of the Mel Gibson poster is significantly lower than what it was at the start of the episode. But Kyle's pretty short, so...

Animation (spotted by Cartman5678): When Kyle goes to break the Xbox 360, the console's front display is in reverse - in relation to a real console. After Cartman says "there really is hope", and the camera focuses back on Kyle, everything is correct.
Note: When Kyle grabs on to Kyle's shoulder ("We can overcome our illness, I swear it to you!"), the display is in reverse again.

Possible continuity: Cartman's room. Kyle loves basketball (901, Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina) so he should know about Magic Johnson having HIV.

Animation: Denver Airport. During one of the cuts showing Kyle and Cartman ("Oh, please 'No reason'!") one of the background characters (blonde hair) enters the shot from right-of-frame and appears IN FRONT of the barriers.

Animation: Magic Johnson's house: Kyle and Cartman meet Magic for the first time. During the first cut of the boys, the plant on the top-right-of-frame's leaves are black. In the second (very long cut), the same plant's leaves are coloured in shades of green. In the third cut, the leaves are back to black.

Possible continuity: Magic Johnson's house. Kyle is wrong here. AIDS was declared officially funny in 601, Jared Has Aides. But the whole story/situation could just be self-referential anyway.

Animation: Magic Johnson's house: Hallway. Not *reeeally* a blooper as such, but it's curious to note that after Magic shows the boys around, and they stop moving, there are no lights above them when throughout the hallway we've seen thus far, it's covered in lights.

Animation: AIDS Research Center. This one's curious. Let's assume the AIDS virus is attracted to money (because that's what I thought at first). If the monitor is displaying exactly what the scientists (in terms of up|down|left|right) see in the microscope's display, the "AIDS particles" should be moving left-of-frame (towards the money). If, however, the AIDS virus is repelled by money, the animation is fine.

Animation: AIDS Research Center. This one's REALLY lame so I want to apologise before you read it. We see Benjamin Franklin's face on one of the cells. In the next cut, you don't see this reflected on the monitor. Told you... Once again, I'm really sorry you had to read that one...

Animation: Airport Hilton: Cure For AIDS event. A comparison between the first mid-close cut of the host, Kyle and Cartman and subsequent cuts of the same frame shows that Cartman has expanded ever-so-slightly even though he's standing in the same spot.

Animation: Airport Hilton: Cure For AIDS event. This one's kinda nitpicky, too, but it's the last one that I can see, so, whatever... So far, Kyle has been standing on that separation between floorboards, but when Jimmy Buffet comes out to play, Cartman is standing on it. It can be argued that they moved to give Jimmy some space but I'm assuming real-time continuity editing.
Edit: I take that back. It is an error in animation. The speaker and plant to the left-of-frame has moved with the boys in relation to the floorboard separation marking.
