Revealing mistake: Game Over: When the characters are all running toward the door to Springfield, an anthropomorphic dog from Grand Theft Scratchy can be seen running over a piece of rubble on the ground. His posture or balance are not affected in any way, almost as if it was drawn so his foot wasn't supposed to interact with anything on the ground.

Revealing mistake: Bargain Bin: When the Simpsons are in the living room, Homer is shown with his left arm lying on the armrest. There appears to have been an animation error, as Homer's arm is drawn as if it is placed on top of the armrest, but his arm is placed against the armrest. His arm appears to be resting and his fingers are curled as if he is supposed to be clutching the sides, but since his arm is against the side of the couch, the effect comes off as unnatural.

Revealing mistake: Bargain Bin: Homer takes out a pencil so that he can put on a ruse when "the boss" turns up. This pencil seems to pop-up in his hand out of nowhere. It could have been inside a pocket on his shirt, but the pencil is too big to have been inside the pocket and there should've been an outline of the pencil is there was. The way it's all animated makes it seem as if the pencil materialised in his hand out of thin air.

Revealing mistake: Bargain Bin: When the Simpsons are sitting at the computer, the Ethernet cable seen coming out of the back of the computer doesn't appear to lead anywhere. The Ethernet cable is shown attached to the computer, but it ends after a few inches and is not attached to anything else. The animation for the cable was incomplete.

Revealing mistake: Medal of Homer: After Homer says "It's the Civil War, duh", it cuts to an angle behind Homer and Bart. For the first frame of the shot, a couple of the lights in the village are not switched on and no smoke can be seen coming out of the chimneys. The lights and chimney smoke just pop-up on screen a couple frames into the shot.

Revealing mistake: Bartman Begins: When Bart is walking through the alleyway, complaining he only has the games he bought yesterday, he steps on top of a discarded wrapper, but wrapper is unaffected by getting stepped on by Bart's foot. It remains in the same position and is never shown bending.

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: Mob Rules: When Lisa is asking Marge if she finds it hypocritical that she is opposed violence in games, yet she used violence to get her way, the body movements used for the mob appear to be repeated and reused throughout the shot. Every time they are shown waving their arms, they appear to move in the exact same way.

Revealing mistake: Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game: When Mr Sparkle is telling Homer and Lisa that he must return to his corporation, in the shot of him saying "Cel soy kills the hunger demon", Lisa can be seen positioned on top of one of the coin slots without falling into it, revealing an animation error where it appears she is hovering above it.

Revealing mistake: Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game: When Mr Sparkle says "Most disrespectful", part of Lisa's hair can be seen passing over Homer's arm. The edge of her hair has been cut off to make it appear as if it has been obscured by Homer's arm, but since the hair can be seen passing over Homer's arm, then this is an animation mistake.

Casual Person

Revealing mistake: Invasion of the Yokel Snatchers: An alien takes the coupons that Cletus is holding. After looking at them, the alien throws each of the coupons to the ground, one by one. The same animation is reused for each of the coupons falling, as shown by the fact that all of them appear to fall to the ground in the exact same fashion.

Revealing mistake: The Land of Chocolate: When Homer wakes up from his dream, their is a wrapper on his shirt from one of the Hershel's Smoochies chocolates. The wrapper looks nowhere near convincing and is just a poorly animated squiggle - the wrapper on his shirt is supposed to be scrunched up, but it is drawn as a 2D shape and is animated onto his shirt.
