Barting Over - S14-E11

Continuity mistake: When Homer shows his "incriminating photos," you can see that in them, he is bald. We know from several previous episodes that Homer had hair when Bart was a baby. He even has a bit of hair when Lisa is born.

Diatribe of a Mad Housewife - S15-E10

Continuity mistake: During the "performance" at the end of Marge's book, "Ned" is skewered by a harpoon and falls off the cliff. When "Homer" walks up to the cliff edge you can no longer see the rope trailing from the end of the harpoon. However, moments later he gets his leg caught up in it and is pulled over himself.

The President Wore Pearls - S15-E3

Continuity mistake: When Lisa goes into Principle Skinner's office to resign, there is a mug and some papers on the desk. When she wants to use the microphone, the desk is clear.

David Mercier

Bart Carny - S9-E12

Continuity mistake: When Bart starts Hitlers' car moving, for a couple of shots the "Iron Cross" disappears from the side of it.

David Mercier

Bart Carny - S9-E12

Continuity mistake: Up until the point at which Skinner starts throwing rings at the block in front of the Spanish lamp, the block simply doesn't exist. It only appears once he starts throwing the rings.

David Mercier

Bart Carny - S9-E12

Continuity mistake: At dinner when the carny dad is doing his cigarette trick, the shot changes to Bart and Lisa and they have piles of food on their plates. About 10 seconds later Marge gathers the plates up and there is nothing on them. Are we to believe that they ate all this food in such a short space of time?

David Mercier

Insane Clown Poppy - S12-E3

Continuity mistake: When Krusty is telling his daughter that he lost her violin, keep an eye on the door of the appartment. A grey bar appears and disappears on the door underneath the "eyeglass" between shots.

David Mercier

Smart and Smarter - S15-E13

Factual error: The tongue Lisa sleeps on in the museum isn't anatomically correct. It shows the bitter and sweet taste buds as being side by side on the surface of the tongue. In reality, different taste buds are not in specific places on the tongue. I wouldn't normally complain, but this is supposed to be in a museum.

David Mercier

Two Bad Neighbors - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: Just before Marge tries to sell Skinner the tie rack, she is writing on something. She then puts her hands down by her waist, and then brings one up to turn it on and both up to pull the motor out. The point is that the pencil and the item she had in her hands have simply vanished, and we never saw her put them down either.

David Mercier

Homer the Moe - S13-E3

Continuity mistake: In Moe's, Homer points at Lenny and says "Are you calling me a liar," with the same hand which is instantly holding a beer in the next shot.

David Mercier

The Parent Rap - S13-E2

Continuity mistake: When Homer is sleeping on Bart's school floor, Bart puts his shoe in Homer's mouth. Later, when Homer is screaming about "Cobras," the shoe has been coloured black, rather than the usual blue.

David Mercier

Mountain of Madness - S8-E12

Continuity mistake: When Mr Burns and Homer first enter the cabin, you can see the door opens with a door knob which is on the right hand side (looking from the outside). Later, after the avalanche, the door seems to open a different way, the knob has been replaced by a handle and it's on the other side.

David Mercier

Home Sweet Home-Dum-Diddly Doodly - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: At the Flanders' house, in the kitchen, Bart and Lisa have sandwiches on plates in front of them. The shot changes and everyone on the table has an empty bowl including Bart and Lisa.

David Mercier

Bart the Fink - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: Bart flicks through his chequebook in the car and finishes on The Front page of it having gone through all the cheques. When the shot changes he is holding it open.

David Mercier

Homer the Vigilante - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: Near the start when Marge is putting jam on bread, she spreads it on the last piece but as she puts it on the plate it changes to a blob in the middle.

David Mercier

The Old Man and the Lisa - S8-E21

Continuity mistake: Right at the start when Lisa says "I could still use more paper," the plastic can-rings she was holding vanish in the next shot.

David Mercier

Burns' Heir - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: The doughnut Homer later picks up isn't by the door when Lenny walks into Mr Burns' office, and we never see anyone put it there.

David Mercier

Bart's Comet - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: The location of the comet in the sky changes direction at several points. Whilst it's apparent size and altitude will of course change, the direction it is coming from cannot. As an example, it is seen looming over the power plant towers, but when Ned is on the hill, it's no longer there.

David Mercier

Homer vs. Dignity - S12-E5

Deliberate mistake: The mouth on the panda costume is in a constant smile and at no point does Homer change it, even when he is in pain. However, when he is being pulled back under the curtain the mouth is open and the mask has a frightened expression. I suppose this was done on purpose, but it's still a continuity error of sorts.

$pringfield (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling) - S5-E10

Revealing mistake: At the dinner table Homer says something like "as you know it's always been my lifelong ambition to be a blackjack dealer." During this line, for some reason they appear to have used a clip from an older episode (Season 3 / Episode 3 - When Flanders Failed) and dubbed the line over. For one thing, the animation is of a much lower standard than the rest of the episode. And perhaps even more telling, when he says it, he is holding a fork with some food on it, but from the earlier shots we know there is no food in front of him.
