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.

Diatribe of a Mad Housewife - S15-E10

Continuity mistake: When Homer goes to Ned to make sure Marge imagines nothing again, Homer puts his hand through the door, then he puts his hand through the mailbox, then Nelson puts his hand out to steal the doormat. Nelson puts his hand just over the mailbox, then in the next shot when it reveals Nelson is there, his hand is suddenly under the mailbox without enough time to move it.

Casual Person

Das Bus - S9-E14

Continuity mistake: At Milhouse's trial on the island, Milhouse moves to Lisa so he is at least a foot away from her. In the next shot, Milhouse and Lisa are standing right next to each other. (00:15:25)

Viva Ned Flanders - S10-E10

Continuity mistake: When Homer and Ned attempt to escape from their Vegas wives at the buffet. The Vegas Wives are directly in front of them, when Homer runs off he runs in an opposite direction, nowhere near them. When Homer runs out, the Vegas wives are right next to him.
