* ''Film/SuperSizeMe'' at one point shows footage from ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'' while John Banzhaf states that there is a cartoon on TV that features Ronald [=McDonald=], explicitly saying it airs every day on ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}''. The ''Wacky Adventures'' videos were a DirectToVideo series with most of the tapes distributed through UsefulNotes/McDonalds restaurants (the last of them, "The Monster O'[=McDonaldland=] Loch" being infamously rare due to only being available for purchase on the now-defunct website of Creator/KlaskyCsupo, the company that produced the videos) and never aired on television, let alone on a major channel on a regular basis. Furthermore, the only connection the ''Wacky Adventures'' videos have to Nickelodeon is that their production company Klasky-Csupo also created the Nicktoons ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'', ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'', ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' and ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower''.

* ''WesternAnimation/ GravedaleHigh'':

* Italian cartoon-focused channel K2 has issues with its commercial bumpers. In theory they would match the cartoon that airs after the break, airing a short clip of it... but actually they stopped making new ones a long ago, meaning that the bumpers nowadays show either ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' or ''WesternAnimation/TheDaltons'', almost never matching up with whatever it's actually aired.[[note]]And with anime is kinda worse: they have closing bumpers that air before episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' or ''Franchise/YuGiOh''... which always show scenes respectively from ''Black & White'' and ''Anime/YuGiOhZexal'', even when both those series aren't aired on the channel anymore, replaced with the later seasons[[/note]]

* Some American viewers viewing the original short of ''WesternAnimation/CreatureComforts'' mistook it for an existing or forthcoming Wallace & Gromit short where said characters visit the zoo. Justified because the character designs were similar - in fact, Creator/NickPark worked on both!

* ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'': Some viewers tuning in and familiar with ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' mistook Eduardo, Garrett and Roland for Peter, Ray and Winston! Plus they wondered why Ray was now in a wheelchair.

* For years, there was speculation of two unaired episodes of ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' titled "Darkness Rain/Failure Zone/The Scent of Stupidity/Snap-a-Snap" and "The Art of Sucker Punch/Family Reunion", mainly because of the show's Wikipedia article stating this. These episodes do not exist; executive producer Fred Seibert confirmed that 40 episodes were made (not 42). Further, the complete series was recently released on DVD and did not contain these two supposed "episodes" (with the only material missing from the DVD set being the segment "The Smooch"[[note]]which was omitted because of music licensing issues over the use of Music/BahaMen's cover of the song "Coconut"[[/note]] and the two ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' shorts "Chalk Dad" and "Chalk Rain"[[note]]the only two shorts of the ''Oh Yeah!'' era to not be repackaged as segments of the series proper[[/note]]). In the case of other Nickelodeon shows that have had episodes unaired in the US such as ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' and ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'', complete series releases always contain such episodes.

* In a Parents Television Council document called "[[https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/5148083/cartoons-are-no-laughing-matter-parents-television-council Cartoons are no Laughing Matter]]", one of the transcribed clips from the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar" is mislabelled as being from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' (more specifically, it shows a date when "Meter Made" was aired on Adult Swim). Also, the transcript of a scene from the ''American Dad!'' episode "Tears of a Clooney'' has Stan misidentified as Peter (Griffin). Furthermore, the people who made this document thought that Barry said "pussy" in the episode "You Debt Your Life", but the bleeped word is actually "twat".

** People think that Snow White was the first animated feature film, which was actually the first animated feature film in the United States.

** The iTunes store has a single of "I Love to Singa" with the audio taken directly from [[WesternAnimation/ILoveToSinga the cartoon of the same name]]. The cover of this single claims that it is from a Disney ''Silly Symphony'', but it is actually from the Warner Bros. ''Merrie Melodies'' series. The cover also claims that Tex Avery voiced Owl Jolson, and because of this, iTunes credits the song to him. In actuality, Tex Avery was the director of the short; Owl Jolson's speaking voice was Tommy Bond, and his singing voice was Jackie Morrow.

** It's rare that you have a reviewer who is tasked exclusively with watching a show fail completely. IGN's ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' reviewer Tory Ireland Mell actually did fail that badly. Her [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/892/892248p1.html legendarily bad]], [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/891/891520p1.html unprofessionally written]], [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/889/889548p1.html spoiler filled]], [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/892/892136p1.html completely ignorant review]] of the season 3 episodes was so bad that comments on the reviews lack of skill forced her to watch several episodes before the finale, [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/892/892539p1.html the review of which still had all of the same issues]], only more glaringly magnified, as it covered the two-hour finale. This reviewer:

* For some reason, many sources (including Jeff Lenburg's ''Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons'') claim that the main voice actors in ''WesternAnimation/TheBrothersFlub'' were Creator/NickBakay and Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz. Neither man was involved with the show at all; the lead characters were instead voiced by Jerry Sroka and Creator/ScottMenville. Bakay and Horvitz were instead the lead voice actors of ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' -- which has nothing else in common other than being a Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} cartoon whose lead characters are brothers. Furthermore, ''The Brothers Flub'' was [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes almost entirely out of circulation]] for nearly two decades after its cancellation, and the closing credits on the circulating episodes [[NowWhichOneWasThatVoice don't specify who voiced whom]]. However, the improper attributions seem to have dispersed over time, and most sources (including [=IMDb=], which originally had the Bakay/Horvitz error) properly credit Sroka and Menville.

** On several [[TheWikiRule fanon wiki listings]] for episodes of TV shows and internet series that involve a SwearWordPlot, one entry will commonly be a list of shows and specific episodes that use said plot, including the episode "Cutie and the Beast". Unlike the other episodes on said list, this episode isn't about a character learning a swear word, as the swearing scene is just a one-off gag in the episode that isn't bought up again. However, this is downplayed on the wiki page for ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 The Powerpuff Girls]]'' episode "Curses", which notes that the swearing scene wasn't a major part of the episode.

* Brazilian website Legião dos Heróis publiched an [[https://www.legiaodosherois.com.br/2023/knd-a-turma-do-bairro-final-desenho.html article]] talking about the GrandFinale of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''... except the episode they are describing is the [[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorS2E13OperationEND Season 2 finale]] instead of the actual series finale, [[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorOperationINTERVIEWS Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.]]. They most likely made that mistake because of the name of the former, which has the word "end" on it.

*** The article also claims that Sylvester’s changes are brand new; while the yellow eyes ''are'' new, his redesign isn’t; it’s based on the design Creator/RobertMcKimson used for him in his earlier shorts.

** ''WesternAnimation/ArthurItsOnlyRockAndRoll'' has an in-universe example where throughout the special, the Music/BackstreetBoys are constantly referred to by the characters as a rock and roll band, when the actual genre of music they perform is pop.

* The makers of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM_eb-YQsJw this UK promo]] for ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' seem to be under the impression that Boom is Sonic's last name.

* Now closed Greek channel Alter's descriptions of animated shows were mostly hit or miss, but some had a few glaring errors:

* The Netflix description for ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' refers to Billy and Mandy as siblings, when in fact they are not related.
