Other mistake: After the teens leave the command center, Rita sees this and orders the creation of her Putties. Her henchman slaps down a few things of clay into a mold loosely, that then show the perfect figurines of the putties coming out of them. However with the shape of the mold, there is no way that the clay would come out in shapes like that or with that detail. (00:11:35)

Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Corrected entry: When they launch to the moon, the ship takes off and arrives at the moon in about 1.5 seconds, at about twice the speed of light. As they are still in Earth's atmosphere, the ship would be, as a result, slamming into air molecules at twice the speed of light. Even at 90% the speed of light, something coming into contact with another molecule would fuse that molecule with the object and send out a huge burst of gamma radiation, tearing apart that molecule and filling the air with plasma. If such a takeoff was to happen in real life, the air molecules that the Planet Express Ship contacts would result in a plasma wall so huge that New York would be leveled, and the ship would just be dust.
Correction: As is specified in later episodes the Planet Express spaceship doesn't move anywhere - it bends space around it. Anyone trying to argue the physics of such a procedure is, quite frankly, wasting their time.
Correction: Given that there is centuries worth of technological advancement as well as tech from alien cultures, we cannot say that there aren't advances that make it safe.

Factual error: Firing a full magazine of blank cartridges from an automatic weapon in the police station office as McClane does would be painfully loud. Nobody shows the slightest effect - nobody even winces. Some of the men wince slightly but their reaction is grossly underplayed. Obviously the sound was looped in later. (01:37:40)
Suggested correction: Every person jumps/winces and cowers out of the way of the bullets, one other officer even draws his gun in response.
What has never made any sense to me about this is that in a room full of cops everyone just stands around watching McClane seemingly gun down their Chief and only one officer even bothers to draw his gun.
Probably because everyone hates the chief. I wondered about that too.
Suggested correction: What makes the loud bang from guns is not the explosion of the gunpowder, but the bullet itself breaking the sound barrier as it leaves the gun. It's very noticeable when a gun fires a blank because it's so much quite, as the only sound is the small pop of the gunpowder inside. It's little more than the sound of a firecracker, but even more muffled by being inside metal.
I have shot blank and live with the military. Both are loud, but sound different. More of a crack with live.
Blanks are very loud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6PESH5LSE0.

Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: When Carl complains that he can't be fired, everybody behind him, Homer and Lenny has disappeared. (00:09:00)
29th Nov 2003
Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11
Continuity mistake: At the Tavern, when Homer slaps the money on the table, the white cloth that Moe was holding has vanished. (00:04:55)
27th Nov 2003
Corrected entry: When Homer goes to another bar we hear him say "Ah, my new watering hole." His mouth doesn't move. (00:17:10)
27th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: At the bar, we see Mrs. Krabappel, and she disappears for the rest of the scene. (00:13:40)
27th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: When Moe tries the Flaming Homer, there are bottles that keep appearing, and the knife disappears suddenly. (00:06:55)
26th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: Homer drives to Moe's Tavern with his normal shirt on. He has his green jacket on top of it in the next shot. (00:04:45)

Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: At the end of Krusty's story, Homer changes from being in his tuxedo to being in his normal clothing. (00:10:10)
Suggested correction: It should be noted that a considerable amount of time has passed while Krusty is telling his story. Note the candles in the screenshot for example, they have burnt out during the story. Its reasonable to assume that there would have been a chance for them to change during this time.
12th Nov 2015
Continuity mistake: In "The Luminous Fish Effect" (S1E04) Sheldon tells Penny he weighs 140 pounds. In "The Porkchop Indeterminacy" (S1E16), he tells his sister he weighs 165. 25lbs difference would be a noticeable change, but he looks the same.
Suggested correction: Lying to Penny but not to his sister, not inconsistent with the characters and his relationships.
15th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: While Homer is sleeping, his head is facing the 'Core temperature' indicater. When he wakes up, he is in a different position. (00:04:25)
27th Aug 2009
Continuity mistake: In the new opening sequence, Kearney and Dolph cut off Jebbidah's head. But in the pan of the city, the head is back.
15th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when the bus is driving to the school, the streetlights outside disappear/reappear between shots. (00:01:30 - 00:02:20)
22nd Aug 2005
Corrected entry: When Homer goes to the barbecue, he grabs a plate of burgers. There isn't a burger at the top of the pile. However, when Flanders talks to him there is a burger on the top.
15th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: There are three mistakes when court is dismissed: 1) the people standing around disappear, 2) the two men with Fat Tony disappear for one shot, and 3) when Bart says that crime doesn't pay, Marge is suddenly standing beside Bart. (00:20:35)
Suggested correction: There are also 3 corrections here. 1) the only people standing near the bench are Lionel Hutz and Seymour Skinner. Seymour is simply out of shot and Hutz is on screen. 2) Legs and Louie don't disappear they remain standing on the steps but due to the camera angle that is now looking across the steps rather than up the steps so they are out of shot. 3) There is a close up of Bart and Fat Tony long enough for Marge to walk over.
15th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: When Skinner is set free, while holding onto the vacuum, he changes position between shots. (00:20:15)
13th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: Bart puts his lucky red hat on the hat holder. It disappears in the next shot. (00:07:10)
13th Nov 2003
Continuity mistake: When Bart crashes at the door of the Legitimate Businessman's Social Club, his head is facing the door. You can only see this for several frames. In the next shot, his head is facing the sky. (00:05:25)
15th Nov 2003
Other mistake: When the wheel falls off Bart's skateboard, in the shot where he curves left sharply, you don't see the school in the background. How could he be at the social club if he just left school? (00:05:20)

Suggested correction: Given that these are literal monsters and a witch living on the moon after being imprisoned for 10,000 years, I don't think we can say for certain what their machinery will do.

This is speculating too much. Practically making the same argument that it's OK because magic. The general physics of what is being displayed on the screen doesn't match up with how the clay fits into the mold even in the slightest.
Quantom X ★
What Quantom is saying is that they are using a press die to create the mold for the putties and no matter how you look at it, the volume of clay going into the mold is not enough to create the detail seen on the putties.
Ssiscool ★
It's not just that, but the shapes don't match up at all. He does the equivalent of putting clay into a round hole and getting a square out of it.
