The Simpsons

Faith Off - S11-E11

Continuity mistake: Homer was wearing a knit cap when the bucket fell on his head, but didn't have it when the bucket was removed. And since he was wearing a knit cap when the bucket fell on his head, his hair shouldn't have been ripped off when the bucket was removed.

The Mansion Family - S11-E12

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, the hospital Mr. Burns is at has a sign in front of it that reads, "Got Tumor?", but when we see the hospital again it isn't there. Additionally, the "Mayo Clinic" sign atop the building gets noticeably smaller in the second shot.

Missionary: Impossible - S11-E15

Continuity mistake: This mistake happens twice in the episode. At first, when Homer arrives on the island, he gives the islanders some bibles and says "Knock yourself out." Ack says that they cannot read. Yet later when Homer is revealing the casino, Ack reads "The Lucky Savage-?"

Suggested correction: Homer had been there for a while when the casino had finished construction. He could have taught Ack to read.

Pygmoelian - S11-E16

Continuity mistake: When Moe is going to get a plastic surgery, the surgeon draws some marks on his face. You see Moe from a side view, and the marks on his face aren't visible from that angle. However, the marks on his face suddenly appear and you can now see them from that angle.

Bart to the Future - S11-E17

Continuity mistake: During the concert at Nelson's club, when the amplifier makes a terrible sound and everyone covers their ears, you can see that old Carl (sitting with Lenny) is pictured white. I mean, yellow. (He's supposed to be black.)

Bart to the Future - S11-E17

Continuity mistake: When Lisa is on the television talking about her tax rise, we see inside Moe's tavern. Look at where Lenny and Carl are sitting because they have moved 3 or 4 seats down when we go back to them later on. And there is no reason why they would they move like that.

Bart to the Future - S11-E17

Continuity mistake: When the Ranger stops the Simpsons' car at the start of the episode, watch his "class ring". When he puts his hands inside the car it's on the left hand. However, the flies later eat his hand and take his ring, and it's suddenly his right hand they ate and took it from.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: This is a mistake for the introduction from seasons 2-20 (1991-2009). When Homer screams, he turns round. You see this in a wide shot. There are no boxes to the right of the door in the garage. However, two just appear out of thin air when he runs through the garage. (00:01:50)

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.
