Shows famous for their animation mistakes

Oh that takes me back. Honestly, you'd think all the Decepticon jets were the same bot the way they mixed up the voices and color schemes were it not for Chris Latta's iconic shriek.



Star Trek: TAS was one of the first things that came to my mind too. But not for its excessive use of pink (one of the producers was actually colorblind if I remember my DVD supplementals correctly). The killer was when a Klingon captain was on the viewing screen and in one frame was actually on the bridge. Even when I first saw that when I was kid, I thought "The hell?" That has to be one of the few examples where the animation mistake resulted in MORE work for the animators as most are the result of cheapness/laziness.
 
I've been a huge Tiny Toons fan, and I can tell a lot of season 1 episodes have animation errors. I can think of one instance where I saw multiple Hamtons...

Also, do shows known for animation errors count when the creators of abridged series make fun of them?

Like, for example, this scene from episode 43 of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged:

"Since Marik entered the tournament, shouldn't he be disqualified?"
"The only person who should be disqualified is whoever made Tristan black in this shot!"

And then we cut to a scene with an animation error, where it looks like Tristan is black.

"Don't you be hatin' on my blackface, playa!"

And a scene from episode 34, where Kaiba's nose is off-model:

"Look at the size of that nose! It's like the animators didn't care!"
 
A recent Xilam production The Daltons (Yes, it's a Lucky Luke spin-off) contain a mistake i notice it since i seen the first time.

Almost at the end, in the Stool Pigeon episode, when some characters came in scene animated and moved, before the zoom, all of the characters backgrounds disappeared for no reasons.

I don't know why but that promising funny show rank as a big disappointment if you count the goofs who can be redone if the producers really cared of their work.
 
The original TMNT from the 80's was notorious for this, heck, in the first 2 DVD releases there are at least 3 or 4 instances where one of the turtles was talking but it was a different turtles voice. There was also a scene or two where Leonardo was holding sai's instead of his swords and Rafael was holding swords instead of sai's, but in the next scene they were holding their appropriate weapons. It kind of added to the charm and lore of the show and never really bothered me, sometimes you have to wonder if the animators did this on purpose to see if anyone would catch it or not.
