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)

Separate Vocations - S3-E18

Deliberate mistake: Lou and Eddie are driving Bart around in the cop car. Bart asks when they're going to shoot people. The shot cuts to Lou, who is driving. The entire frame of the car disappears around him and it's just him superimposed over a background. The shot cuts again and the frame is now visible. Even if it was a low-angle shot, you'd still see the roof of the car.

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)
