Undercover Burns - S32-E1

Continuity mistake: After Phil eats the "horse" egg at Moe's he asks to be taken to the hospital, and when it cuts back to Homer at the power plant, the direction of the stripes on Homer's tie switch to the opposite direction, mid shot. The same thing occurs again later. First, when Homer is standing outside the office while Fred talks to Burns about the benefits package, and also when Homer can't stay for Marge's turkey breakfast. (00:07:05 - 00:12:20)

Undercover Burns - S32-E1

Continuity mistake: While Homer, Carl, and Lenny are at Moe's with their new bud Fred, in the interior shots the swinging front door to Moe's swings open on the left side, but in the exterior shot when they all leave Moe's, that door still swings open on the left side, opposite to the interior shots. (00:08:00)

The 7 Beer Itch - S32-E5

Continuity mistake: While Lily continues to "light up all the men's lives, except Homer's," when she walks into the power plant with picnic lunches, Homer is wearing a solid peach colored tie, but in the next shot it's a striped peach and pink tie. (00:11:00)

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Lily is back at a pub in England and meets Homer's doppelganger, his single shirt pocket and button are at his right side, but as he and Lily leave the pub arm in arm his shirt pocket and button are on the opposite side. (00:20:20)

Homer's brain: It's simple, just use reverse psychology.
Homer: Reverse psychology? That sounds too complicated.
Homer's brain: Alright, don't use reverse psychology.
Homer: Alright, I will!

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.
