Continuity mistake: When Homer runs into the EPA supply shed to find something to help him climb the dome, there's a window on each side of the doorway with little space between them, but in the interior shot not only is the style of window different, the space has increased significantly and the second window is gone.
12th Feb 2016
Continuity mistake: During the scene with the angry mob, knobs on the bedroom's wall cabinets keep switching between being on the left or right sides of the cabinet doors (which would also change the direction those doors open). (00:32:50)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: While the Simpsons are walking the plank of wood between their house and Flanders' house, in the shot right after Plopper the pig pushes the wood plank off the windowsill, just as the Simpsons fall and the arrows fly by overhead, note the mysterious cable box and long cable that have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, attached to the wall beside the second window on the opposite side of the chimney. (00:33:50)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: After Russ Cargill places the tank with the mutated squirrel on the President's desk, when Cargill says, "Here's our chance to kick some ass for mother earth," the tank's not on the desk where it was placed, but then it reappears where it should be. (00:26:10)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: During the town hall meeting, Mayor Quimby's podium has a recessed panel at the front which vanishes when he asks who's in favor of a new scissor lift platform. (00:19:50)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: During the town hall meeting, on the lower floor there are two sections of seating divided by an aisle, and in every shot of the audience we see people switch seats or sections they're in, and some clothing changes as well. Just a few examples: 1) the Sea Captain's first seated behind Moe and Lenny, then he's behind Willie; 2) Krusty, Mel, and Luigi are behind Bumblebee, but the next closeup has Mel seated in front of Luigi and Bumblebee, and Krusty has vanished, but he reappears when they spit the water; 3) And in that same shot the guy behind Luigi is wearing a white jacket and purple shirt, but when they all gasp he's wearing a black shirt and green jacket. And so on. (00:19:20)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: When Homer walks into the kitchen to show Marge his new Simpson addition, we can see the shelving unit under the window in the den that has a single spindle and finial from the top to middle shelf, with two blue books lying on their sides, but in the closeup of the pig's tail now there are two spindles and two finials, with a red book that's upright. (00:15:25)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: When Marge looks at the magnetic words "a thousand eyes" on the fridge and asks Grampa about it, other than the highchair Maggie's sitting in, there are two chairs around the kitchen table - one Grampa's sitting on and one empty chair, but in the next shot as Homer introduces the newest Simpson there are now three chairs - Grampa's chair and two empties, the one beside Marge appeared out of nowhere. (00:14:50)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: When Homer brings his pet pig home to meet Marge, they enter the kitchen and the roll of paper towels is hanging under the cabinet near the window, but in the closeup when he and the pig share a carrot the paper towel roll and its holder have both vanished, and then they reappear. A cutting board suddenly appears on the counter as well. (00:15:30)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: At the town hall meeting, when Lenny says, "It's not so bad," there's a single head light fixture on the wall near the balcony, but when Moe shouts, "This is why we should hate kids," there's a double head fixture on the wall, and yet in the first overhead shot of the meeting there's no fixture at all in that space. (00:20:05)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: After Scratchy blows up in the movie they're watching, when Homer stands up in the shot facing the audience there are two empty seats behind Homer, between Dr. Hibbert and Marge, who's seated beside Lisa, but in the next shot facing the screen Marge is now seated beside Dr. Hibbert, and there's only one empty seat now between Marge and Lisa. (00:01:20)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: While Bart's standing on the roof's TV antenna when Homer's shaking it, in the overhead shot of the house - note the front walkway and the wood fence between Flanders' and Simpsons' houses, the chimney is actually missing from the side of the roof adjacent to Flanders' house, and the antenna is also much closer to that side of the house than it should be. (00:08:00)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: When Bart falls off the roof and grabs hold of the rain gutter, it's one continuous seamless piece of trough material, but in the following shots that gutter consists of a few connected sections. (00:08:05)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: There's a tiled patio at the back of the house with a total of twelve large tiles, but when the house goes down the sinkhole there are sixteen tiles in total. Plus the fact that when Bart's on the roof hanging from the gutter the tiles below are white (they also appear white when the house falls into the sinkhole), but when the dome is placed over Springfield the tiles are brownish-orange.
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: When Marge gets into the car and tucks the wedding video into her hair, the rearview mirror is attached to the roof of the car, but as the mob carries the car to the backyard the rearview mirror is now attached to the windshield.
13th Jan 2016
Deliberate mistake: During the fire Marge runs back into the house and goes to the kitchen cabinet that has a "keepsake cabinet" nameplate and a keyhole, in order to remove the wedding video, but the nameplate and keyhole didn't exist before. (00:33:35)
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: There's a water spigot under the window on the wall at the front of the house, near the garage door, which can be seen after the lake is blocked off, but this spigot didn't exist right before Bart skateboarded naked, then it vanishes again and reappears during the fire.
13th Jan 2016
Continuity mistake: After Marge shouts into the megaphone for the bomb to be thrown, it cuts to Homer and Bart while they're riding sideways on the motorcycle, and the bomb's under Bart's left arm while he's holding onto Homer with his right hand, but in the following shots the bomb's under Bart's right arm while he's holding Homer with his left hand.
16th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When we see the news report of the silo being lifted out of the lake, the height of the silo has significantly decreased, compared to when it was in the Simpsons' backyard - note the empty space below the drawing of the pig. (00:21:30 - 00:30:50)
12th Dec 2013
Continuity mistake: When Homer and Bart are on the motorcycle trying to get rid of the bomb, the bomb slips out of Bart's grip. When he's hanging onto his father's shirt, Bart first grips the bomb's handle with his palm and fingers facing the front of the bomb, with the clock. Then when he's hanging onto his father's hair, Bart's hand has flipped around and he's now gripping the bomb's handle with his palm and fingers facing the back of the bomb. Something to look out for is the shot just before the close-up of Chief Wiggum, because as Bart raises his arm the bomb actually flips over in his hand while we're watching. Quite impossible.
