The Simpsons

Tree House of Horror X - S11-E4

Continuity mistake: When The collector falls over the banister and into the Lucite, Xena is taped into a plastic pouch; but when she gets out, she pulls the bag down easily, without ripping open the bag or the tape.

Homer Badman - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: Just after Marge's left jacket pocket bursts open at the candy convention the shot changes to a shot of Marge's face. The next shot her right pocket has suddenly burst as well and the candy in it is no where to be seen.

Lummie

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Deliberate mistake: Arnie says that he drops his bagel. When he does he starts to say it, but when we see the helicopter it has just fallen out. If he dropped it at the time he did, then it would be much further down and wouldn't be visible in that shot. (00:05:20)

Itchy and Scratchy and Marge - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the beginning after Maggie hit Homer on the head, it shows him laying on the couch with Bart & Lisa on the left. The next shot it shows the TV, in the next shot it shows Homer on the left sitting and Bart & Lisa on the right. It's impossible for Homer to get up and switch sides with Bart And Lisa in less than 5 seconds.

Catch 'em If You Can - S15-E18

Continuity mistake: The Credit card numbers for Ned and Rod's VIZA cards are exactly the same: 8525 4941 2525 4158 First Bank of Springfield Viza valid from 1/1 to 12/31(thirty years on the credit card?)

Weekend at Burnsie's - S13-E16

Audio problem: There is an elaborate bass line right at the end of Phish's song; however, the bassist's fingers don't even move. There's no way he could play that line without moving his hand. (00:13:50)

Krusty Gets Busted - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Homer reaches into the fridge to take out the tub of triple chocolate ice cream, we see it in a brown and white striped tub. When he lifts it out, it's turned into a plain pink tub and has shrunk considerably. (00:03:50)

Bart the Daredevil - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: As Milhouse walks up to the TV to turn up the volume, Lewis is nowhere to be seen in a wide shot, but as Milhouse walks back over to the couch you can see Lewis sitting on the floor. (00:02:15)

Hamster

Flaming Moe's - S3-E10

Factual error: When Bart is trying to escape from the girls at the start, Bart's door opens into the room. This would mean the hinges would be inside Bart's room and the girls couldn't have been able to remove them.

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.
