Let's play, "Ever Notice: RGB Edition"

*Rules: To play, simply post something viewers may not have noticed in an episode of the Real Ghostbusters and/or Slimer! & the Real Ghostbusters and be sure to include the phrase “ever notice” with an accompanying screen grab. *

In the episode Last Train to Oblivion, ever notice how huge the ghost trap Winston is holding is?

I’m already assuming this thread is going to be filled with animation errors like miscolors, misplaced cels, and whatnot

But how about this one from an old thread.

Ever notice the ghost with a ■■■■■?

And yes it made it into the final cut

He’s literally a ■■■■■, one-eyed monster….

LMAO!

Ever notice that in the episode Baby Spookums, some random girl kisses Egon, and can’t keep her hands off of him? She’s totally DTF. I bet Janine would be wicked jealous if she ever found out. Egon is such a babe magnet….

(12:31)

This has nothing to do with the animation but in the episode Ghostbuster of the year Ray says, “Of the swimsuit issue?” when Peter was supposed to say it. There’s a similar error in the episode Bird of Kildarby.

Ever notice Egon staring at Janine when Peter is talking to her in Janine’s Genie (9:37). I never liked Janine and now I remember why.

Ever notice in the episode Kitty Cornered Ray says thanks for rescuing us the witch is mouthing it. :slight_smile:

Ever notice how the writers keep making stuff happen to Egon, or how they keep making all the girls like him. I’m guessing they liked him because they alsobrought him back in the extreme ghostbusters.

Ever notice how Winston says “Anyone seen the meitch to these?” in The Brooklyn Triangle epiode?

(the 0:14 mark). How did that get by Marsha (Goodman)?

Sounds like “mates” to me.

Good call, but I dunno. I still hear a “ch” sound at the end.

Ever notice in “When Halloween Was Forever,” the goof where they show Winston, Peter and Egon on the roof confronting Samhain, when it should be Winston, Peter, and Ray? Egon is down in the street rigging up some spotlights.

Or in 244 Cry Uncle at 18:47, when Egon is yelling at Stay Puft to get him to turn around, they made to flops: it showed Peter instead of Egon, and Peter/Egon’s hand is backward.

Also Janine sits on people alot.

Ever notice how in Ghost 'R Us, at 00:14, their license plate said ECT-1 instead of ECTO-1.

Ever notice in Sandman bring me a dream that the guy at the start is reading an EC comic. I’d include pictures but I don’t know how to upload them on here?

I’m totally perplexed by this.

He absolutely says ‘mates’, it’s crystal clear from the context. He’s holding up two mismatched socks, wondering where their mates are.

But I have to ask, what the HECK is a ‘meitch’ anyway?

Your original post acts as if it’s a really dirty word they snuck in, but not only have I never heard it in nearly 45 years on this planet, it turns up exactly zero hits on both google and dictionary.com

Enlighten me.

I was wondering the same thing.

“meitch” is (of course) not a real word; I spelled it as it sounded to me–assuming it was some sort of typo or mispronunciation of a word in the script that slipped by Marsha Goodman. I wasn’t implying it was some sort of dirty word…my question [if in fact it was a typo] was exactly along the lines of what you asked…“what the heck is a ‘meitch’ anyway?”

Ummm… the actors weren’t just improvising the dialogue. The stuff they were saying came from a script. Written by writers. After the voices were recorded, the sound mix was edited, and then it was turned over to animation, who generally work from a precise dialogue breakdown of each individual sound to make the lip synch. Then sound and picture are combined in the final edit. All of which was scrutinized by the directors at every stage. So, it’s a pretty safe bet they were almost always saying words that, you know, actually exist.

These cartoons are chock full of WAY too many real errors to go inventing new words.

How about the missing telephone sound effect (can’t recall the specific episode)?

Or the missing explosion sound effect in Citizen Ghost?

Numerous instances of characters being colored wrong, so Ray becomes Winston or vice versa.

And the ever-popular misspelled words in the painted backgrounds because the animators were not native English speakers.

But this thread doesn’t only have to be about errors.

How cool is it that Ray’s Aunt Lois gets mentioned by name in Mr. Sandman long before she appears in the delightfully punny-titled ‘Spirit of Aunt Lois’.
