They actually remembered to remove his hat when gets pushed.
He shouldn't be able to wear it even when standing up though.
He falls in the water like this...

Uh no, these hats are long gone.

Just like Nutty and Petunia, Giggles' most frequent goof often involves her marking. In some episodes Giggles' marking isn't visible when it should be seen. This goof mostly takes place in the early episodes and stopped appearing after season 2, until Happy New Year aired. Her eyelashes used to frequently disappear too.

But the marking isn't there here.
Her marking is dislocated.
Her marking is drawn wrong.
Giggles with eyelashes before her injury...
...and then missing lashes after her injury.
Her eyelashes were absent for the entire episode.
Eyelashes disappear once her eyes are pulled out.
Toothy's most reoccurring goof involves his teeth. Toothy is suppose to have large, gapped buckteeth, but he is often seen with small standard teeth instead. This goof appears quite often in the early series and even appears in the TV episode Take a Hike. Sometimes his teeth will switch from standard to gapped in the same episode.

The only pop-up to feature this goof.
One of the very rare times where this goof occurs after the TV series.
Regular teeth seconds later.
Lumpy debatably holds the most infamous reoccurring goof in the entire series, as his antlers switch positions in almost every single episode he appears in, they sometimes even switch in continuous shots (There have actually been a couple of instances where both of his antlers stick up). This goof carries through every season, but there are some instances of Lumpy going entire episodes without this goof occurring but this is usually when he barely has any screen time. One example of Lumpy having a lot of screen time and his antlers not switching is In Over Your Hedge. The show is also very inconsistent with his teeth, sometimes they're on his nose, or his mouth, sometimes it's both at once. His mouth can also appear from the end of his snout.
Even his starring pop-ups...
... can't make up their mind on those antlers.
Considering how this is the first time we see Lumpy, this may be how his antlers are suppose to be.
His right antler is pointing down...
... and surprise surprise, it's sticking up again.
He looks pretty awkward with both antlers up.
His teeth now stay in his mouth.
This episode has his teeth INSIDE his nose which is just disturbing.
Just like Giggles and Nutty, Petunia's reoccurring goof involves her head marking. It will usually either disappear or stretch all the way down the back of Petunia's head. Her eyelashes and tail would also occasionally disappear.

The ugliest design for Petunia's marking, ever.
Petunia without her eyelashes, though this is fixed later in the episode.
Petunia missing her eyelashes again.
While this goof is hard to notice, it happens very often. The hammer and screwdriver in Handy's tool belt, tend to switch places with each other, sometimes in continuous shots. This goof even occurs in Handy's most recent appearance, A Handy Nanny. Also a minor goof occurs whenever his helmet pops up, his ears are missing, although there are exceptions. A minor goof that seems to happen with Handy is his nub stretching out whenever he wipes his head, which shouldn't be possible.

His tools swap places in the next following shots...
How Handy is supposed to look like with his ears visible.
Another rare instance of Handy with ears.
His nub is now long enough to have an elbow joint.
Nutty's reoccurring goofs involve his eye, his two lollipops, candy cane, and head marking. In numerous episodes the all-day sucker and the lollipop switch places on Nutty's cheeks, his lazy eye switches places with his good eye when it's always suppose to stay on the left, and his candy cane switches the direction it's facing. Similar to Lumpy, these goofs usually don't happen if Nutty doesn't have to much screen time in an episode. In every episode that uses old animation, Nutty's head marking is never visible from the back of his head with Icy You being the only exception.
All of his candy is in its correct spot.
All of the candy (except the apple) is inverted.
What why? Nutty didn't even shift his head in another direction, yet the lollipops switched anyway.
The candy cane switched positions.
What the back of his head is suppose to look like.
Nutty's marking visible from the back of his head in an old episode.
One of the rare instances of a characters marking disappearing in the TV series.
One of Sniffles' reoccurring errors involve his pocket protector switching places on his chest or disappearing. His other error is his snout changing lengths. While this mostly happened in the old episodes, in one very rare occasion, in a TV episode, Sniffles' snout is very long in one frame. In three episodes, his mouth appeared below his snout instead of at the tip. The tape on his glasses also disappears occasionally.

There are times where Pop would open his mouth and his pipe appears to just be floating in mid-air.
Pop's pipe just floating there.
This makes even less sense, he's facing down.
Cub's reoccurring goof involves the safety pin on his diaper constantly switching the position it's facing, sometimes it switches during continuous shots.
There are occasional inconsistencies that either involve Flaky's quills or dandruff. Sometimes her quills faze through objects or disappear, along with her dandruff.
Flaky without her quills.
Flaky loses a huge portion of her quills.
Flaky missing most of the dandruff flakes on her body.
Flaky's quills faze though a chair.
The Mole's reoccurring goof involves the mole on his face, in almost every episode The Mole appears in, his mole switches sides on his face, sometimes during continuous shots.
Russell actually has two goofs and they involve his hook and eyepatch. His eyepatch tends to switch between his two eyes and his hook switches which hand it's on. These goofs didn't happen as much in the older episodes and started appearing more and more during and after the TV series. On several occasions, his tail would also disappear or be placed on his back.
The eyepatch and hook switch.
Russell's feeding hook...
...becomes his painting hand.
Russell's tail attached to his back.
Lifty and Shifty's main goof lies in their pupils. This is mostly because the animators couldn't decide which kind of eyes suited the duo the best. This only counts as a goof if their circular pupils are used in the early episodes or if their pac-man pupils are used in the TV series.
One pupil is circular the other is pac-man shaped.
In
Gems the Breaks, their pupils are circular only for the beginning of the episode.
From this point, their pupils are pac-man shaped for most of the episode.
With so many assets used for his face paint and markings, there are bound to be mistakes. Surprisingly, they aren't that common but sometimes occur with the old animation.
What his face is suppose to look like.
Mime's eyebrows float off his head.
Last I checked, Mime's makeup covered his whole face.
...followed by Halloween costume.
Who thought Mime without his eyebrows and cheeks would make him look so scary?
One of Mime's eye markings is raised over his head.
Cro-Marmot's reoccurring goof involves his club constantly switching hands, despite the fact that it and Cro-Marmot are frozen.
Flippy's reoccurring goof involves the crest on his beret switching places, sometimes in continuous shots. As for Fliqpy, his eyes, while usually light green, have sometimes been given other colors.
Usual position of Flippy's beret.
There can only be one explanation...
... he has two crests on his beret.
Usual color of Fliqpy's eyes.
Fliqpy with pac-man eyes.
Being dead didn't cause this faded eye color, they were blue when he was alive.
Splendid's reoccurring goof comes from his patagium (skin flaps). They often disappear or disconnect from his arms.
Splendid and how his arms and skin flaps should look like.
Missing patagium on one arm.
His flap passes one of his arms.
Its hard to see but one of his arms are disconnected from his skin flap.
Lammy's reoccurring goof involves the bow in her hair. It switches positions very often. If she stars in an episode her bow tends to switch in continuous shots quite a bit.
Lammy's bow faces left...
Mr. Pickels' size varies throughout his appearances.
Mr. Pickles is this big...
His whole body must be Handy's size if Handy didn't have legs, since he can reach the wheel like this.
Flaky was probably able to swallow him because of his shrinking powers.
