Correction: We see the audience from behind, they could easily be clapping their hands without us seeing.

Correction: Skinner was joking, safety requirements would not allow him to lock the doors.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: No, the scene where he is wearing his coat is completely different from when he is leaving the house. He may have gone home in between.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: No, the shot changes from a wide look at the whole cast to one of the camera screen which has zoomed in on Krusty so he's the only one we can see.

Correction: That's what clocks do, even in cartoons. The changes in time make perfect sense.

Correction: Look closely, it's always five both in the wide and the close up shots.

Correction: It was moved to give Krusty space for his unicycle act and then put back.

Correction: This is normal during dinner and there was plenty of time during Krusty's story when we couldn't see the table for things to be moved.

Correction: Not at all clear if this is true, the monkey may simply have its tail between its legs.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: We see Bart clear a number of things from the table and then the angle changes to one where we can no longer see what's on it, so no mistake.

Duffless - S4-E16

Corrected entry: The hamster gets electrocuted mildly by a food pellet with an electric current. However, it is an electrical insulator so it couldn't have an electric current.

OL1V3R666

Correction: It's impossible to tell what the battery is connected to. Yes it's the same shape as a food pellet but hamsters will gnaw on anything including the bars of their cages, which are metal.

Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie - S4-E6

Corrected entry: Before the Simpsons are in their house talking about the Itchy and Scratchy Movie, there's a line of people waiting to see it that extends past their house and down numerous streets. When it shows one of the kids talking, the window behind them shows that all the people have vanished.

Correction: There is time, while Homer is in shot, for the line to have moved forward.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: The identical drunks are very visible in several shots. It's defintely not a case of the same shot reused so they must be twins.

Correction: Odd is permissible in the Tree House episodes. Some of the normal rules don't apply.

Homer Defined - S3-E5

Corrected entry: 40 seconds pass during the time period when the announcer says there is 1 minute left and 30 seconds left. Also between the announcer saying there is a half-minute left and 15 seconds left, 25 seconds pass. (00:08:10 - 00:09:20)

Yoshi

Correction: It's normal movie practice to show sequentially events which are intended to be in parallel (the alternative is a very ugly split screen). Between the announcements for one minute and 30 seconds left, Homer has a flashback and during the countdown from 30 to 15, we see the TV announcer explaining who will survive and who will not. The time in Homer's reality is correct.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: Marge is no longer holding her knitting but she's been out of shot for easily long enough to have put them down or even put them away.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: True but this is a completely new scene, Homer could simply have turned the lights off.

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: They're both in front of the TV monitors. We see Smithers from two different angles and he has time to move when Mr Burns is in shot so there's nothing unusual about this scene.

Separate Vocations - S3-E18

Corrected entry: When the police trap Snake after the car chase they say he's trapped in meaning there was only one way in. So how does Snake get his car stuck in the alleyway when he must have got through the alleyway to begin with?

Lummie

Correction: There was only one way in and out for a car as Snake finds out. The alley they both came in is obviously different from the one Snake tries to escape through. This is further confirmed by the fact that the police car is not parked at the end of the alley Snake tries to exit through.

tw_stuart

Also, Springfield PD isn't exactly known to be top-notch. This could've been a mistake by the cops as well. Even so, character mistake.

29th Aug 2004

The Simpsons (1989)

Correction: The shot with Snake coming through is a wide shot where we can see the sign. When the police come through the shot is much tighter and the sign is above what we can see.
