The Otto Show - S3-E22

Other mistake: Right before Homer and Bart head to the concert, Homer has the high-pitched ringing in his ears while Marge is talking. Then just as Homer says, "I hear you. C'mon, boy," note Selma's and Patty's skin over their scoop necklines are not colored in properly, it's the same color as their dresses. (00:01:45)

Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes? - S3-E24

Other mistake: On the DVD, when Homer is sitting on the Spinemelter, he says at one point "I've tried to fill it with family, religion, community service, but those were dead ends. This card is the answer." However the subtitles say "I've tried to fill it with family, religion, but those things were dead ends. This card is the answer", leaving "community service" out.

Suggested correction: It is very common to shorten the subtitles so viewers don't have to read much.

Suggested correction: At no point does Lisa turn over the resume. She takes it, reads it and says it needs padding out.

Ssiscool

Suggested correction: Lisa does turn over the resume, but there's nothing typed on the back. She's wasn't turning the resume over to continue reading it, she was just looking to see if there was something more because it was one line, hence her response of needing padding.

New Kid on the Block - S4-E8

Other mistake: When Moe is running to the Simpsons' house there is a shot of him running past the moon. When running back to the bar, the same shot is used but is simply flipped. Note the house and rocks. (00:18:20)

Mr. Plow - S4-E9

Other mistake: When Homer is crossing the rickety bridge in the snow plow there is no snow on the planks even though he is in a blizzard and the storm couldn't have just started because the path he just came from was covered in snow. (00:18:55)

Homer's Triple Bypass - S4-E11

Other mistake: In the beginning of the episode when Chief Wiggum orders a battering ram through The Front door of a house, Reverend Lovejoy opens the door and questions what they are doing. Chief Wiggum says "isn't this 742 Evergreen Terrace?" to which Lovejoy replies that it's the house next door. In the next shot, you see Snake pulling out of the garage and speeding away. Everybody knows that 742 Evergreen Terrace is, in fact, the Simpson residence. (00:02:40)

Suggested correction: Homer is in the car as it hits the tree and after this the bonnet is crumpled up obscuring your view of the driver's seat so impossible to say if he is in the car or not.

Suggested correction: Look closely, as Marge approaches the desk you can see the lamp is switched on.

Boy Scoutz N the Hood - S5-E8

Other mistake: When Ned and Homer's raft is going fast, Ned decides to go on the left side of the gorge, so he paddles on the left side, which causes a raft to turn to the right, which 1, means the raft moved to the left, which is impossible, and 2, he wanted to go to the left, but paddled like he wanted the raft to turn right.

Deep Space Homer - S5-E15

Other mistake: In the scene where the Simpsons are viewing the path of the Corvair's Re-entry, the blip representing the spaceship crosses the entire US from North-West to South-East in about three seconds. This is really impossible, even for something going as fast as a spaceship on re-entry would be.
