The Otto Show - S3-E22

Bart the Lover - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When Homer stands on the nail in the back yard, you can see behind him, that on the wall next to the back door there are two purple lights. Seconds later when Lisa shows him the new doghouse, the lights have gone. (00:17:25)

Hamster

Lisa's Pony - S3-E8

Suggested correction: The bottles remain on the bar, the knife is not placed on the bar so could easily have been put under the bar where Moe is known to keep a shotgun.

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.
