on the bus when kyles brother gets abducted, note the bus, it is empty except for the four boys, then a few mins later, when ms. crabtree jerks the wheel, the bus is full of kids ( some of them fly from the left side of the bus to the right side) and at the end of the scene when cartman is saying " someone is baking brownies" the bus is empty again

I've noticed that before too!

when kenny is dead and kyle is talking to stan about looking for his little brother, if you look closely at the top right corner you can see in one of the frames the shadow of a finger.

when barbrady is at the farm, a helicopter flies by and the cows start running, the sign falls down and u can see a piece of tape where the sign used to be

its cheaper that way

Nice catch!


Er, no, they weren't using computers when they made this episode, so of course you'd see such things as shadows and pieces of tape.

I would have never noticed that one about the finger print/shadow. Great eye!

when wendy got barfed on by stan with cartmen in the backround one second hes there then hes not.

I just noticed that when you camera shows the whole class, the same girl can be seen on both the first seat and the last seat in the class (Red).
Well, they might not be the exact same, but they both have the same hair.

And also, when the train conductor is talking to the cows, the scene right after officer Barbrady comes, when the cows start to flee, if you look at the bottom of the screen you can see another shadow of a finger and (I think) a random piece of paper? (it's very quick)

And when Stan sees Wendy in the cafeteria, on the left of Wendy, there is a boy who has the exact same clothes as Stan but they are different colours.


Another one: when the kids are singing "We got out of school, no more school today" the clouds seem to be moving with the boys as they are walking.


One more: Right after the aliens say "it is a gift from us", one more "moo" can be heard, followed by "mhm"


And last one: At the end when officer Barbrady finally catches the cows (when he says "haha, cows") , at the top right corner you can see that that corner is shadowed.

I've seen quite a few posts in all these bloopers that mention "this kid looks like token", "this kid looks like stand", "this one looks like red".. etc. I've noticed a lot of that over the years. I'm pretty sure that what the producers do, is they copy copy the basic form/style of one character, and change some of the details to make it look like a different person. In the case of the kid who looks like Stan (mentioned above), they copy-and-pasted him, then just changed the color of the clothes. Speaking as a graphic designer, this happens a lot. It cuts down on the overall production costs, so they aren't spending 6 weeks trying to design 75 completely different characters for a 2 second bleacher-filling scene.

Yeah, that's what I was guessing too.
