PaulTibibittHDError

Original airing error.

Ripped Pants Title Card 0-4 screenshot

Corrected version.

  • In the original airing of "Ripped Pants," his name is misspelled as "Mark O'hare" with a lowercase 'h' in the opening credits. This error also happens with Paul Tibbitt whose name is misspelled as "Paul Tibibitt" with an extra I in his surname when credited as storyboard director. However, his name is spelled correctly when later credited as a writer. These errors were corrected on Amazon releases, later reruns, and DVD releases.ļ»æ[citation needed]
