Lard of the Dance - S10-E1

Continuity mistake: While Lisa is standing in front of the table with her friends in the cafeteria, we see that the trays appear during the first shot, then after the camera zooms in on Lisa's table, the trays disappear. Then during the third shot, Lisa calls Alex over to her table. Look at the table again: the trays have reappeared. (00:06:00)

In Marge We Trust - S8-E22

Other mistake: When Ned Flanders is calling Marge and Reverend Lovejoy from the Leftorium, he says that the three hooligans are in the shop on their motorbikes. But a few minutes before when Ned goes outside the shop to tell the boys to clear off, their bikes are nowhere in sight.

My Sister, My Sitter - S8-E17

Continuity mistake: When Lisa arrives at Dr. Nick's, amongst the wheelbarrow line is a Professor Frink (and he's not even first in the cue). However, just a few minutes later, when Lisa ends up in the mud pit, we can see Frink amongst the crowd.

Tree House of Horror X - S11-E4

[The Simpsons are driving down a road as fast as possible.]
Homer: Dear God, it's Homer. If you really love me you'll save my life now.
[The gas needle immediately drops to empty and the car stops.]
Homer: D'oh.

Tree House of Horror V - S6-E6

Question: Homer travels back in time and causes changes by what he does in the past, like stepping on a bug. I once saw a movie with the same basic plot: some people travel back in time and are told to be careful not to disturb anything, but when they return to their time everything has changed. In the end they discover it was because they stepped on a butterfly. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Answer: I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but an episode of "Ray Bradbury Theatre," called "A Sound of Thunder," dealt with a similar matter: a group of hunters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs, only to find things have changed when they get back because someone stepped on a butterfly.
