The Simpsons

The Secret War of Lisa Simpson - S8-E25

Continuity mistake: The vehicle they are driving changes form when they drop off Bart at military school to when they drive home. They leave with Homer's purple car (obvious from the crumpled headlight) and as they leave the military school it's Marge's orange car (obvious from the ski racks and lack of a trunk). It's clear from the entire scene that this is all one trip.

Bart After Dark - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When the mob is at the gates of Belle's house, the door bell is first seen on the left hand side of the gates. In the next shot (behind Flanders) it is in the center of the gates.

Bart After Dark - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When Bart climbs on the roof to get the remote control plane, he falls, and smashes into a gargoyle which falls and smashes beneath him. But when he is hanging from the roof, below him the gargoyle is nowhere to be seen.

Tree House of Horror VII - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: In 'The Thing and I' when Homer and Marge return from driving around in the rain, there is no doorknocker on the door. Then in the shot where Hugo escapes, we see the door open with red scratches on it, and there is a doorknocker. Then later when everyone leaves to find Hugo, it's gone again. (00:02:40 - 00:04:55)

Homer vs. the 18th Amendment - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are escaping from the cops after stealing kegs of beer from the dump, they drive through a cemetery and slam into a headstone, breaking the right headlight of the car. When they pull into the driveway back at Evergreen Terrace, the left headlight is the broken one.

Dandude

Hurricane Neddy - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: Ned's clothes are cut and torn in the huricane, but the next day, they are somehow clean and intact. He can't have gone home and changed, otherwise he would have seen everyone repairing his house.

The Cartridge Family - S9-E5

TV Announcer: The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield. It's all here: fast kicking, low scoring. And ties? You bet.
Bart: Hey Dad, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?
Homer: I don't know.
TV Announcer: You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Arriaga, Arriaga II, Barriaga, Aruglia, and Pizzozza.
Homer: Oh, I've never heard of those people.
TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs.
Homer: Woohoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth. Mexico or Portugal.
