The Simpsons

Correction: That mistake is already listed.

Correction: Skinner (or Armin Tamzarian, if you want to be totally truthful) has been telling lots of stories about his childhood with Mrs. Skinner. It doesn't mean that the stories are true, but he tells them to gain credibility for his role as Seymour Skinner.

Twotall

True. Even in the episode "The Principal and the Pauper", the judge told everyone to forget anything happened.

Plus there is nothing to say the real Skinner couldn't have told Armin stories from his youth.

Ssiscool

Correction: It is possible that children change schools at some point, even religious schools.

Radio Bart - S3-E13

Corrected entry: When Bart talks through the microphone after pulling it out of Santa's Little Helper's mouth, he talks in the exact same voice as Todd Flanders. (00:14:45)

Yoshi

Correction: Bart is impersonating a young boy (not necessarily Todd Flanders). He doesn't use his normal voice during the whole prank.

Correction: There are various different shots from different angles, it's impossible to tell if the crowd is really changing.

Correction: We never see any of them eat candy with the wrapper on.

Correction: Not really, Homer opens the door so fast we don't have time to see the knocker and then the place where it should be is blocked by his head. As for the peephole maybe it was one of Homers DIY projects.

tw_stuart

Correction: It would have been tough, but could have knocked the phone onto his shoulders to hold between his neck and used his nose to push the buttons.

Lummie

I suppose he could've called collect.

Separate Vocations - S3-E18

Corrected entry: When the police trap Snake after the car chase they say he's trapped in meaning there was only one way in. So how does Snake get his car stuck in the alleyway when he must have got through the alleyway to begin with?

Lummie

Correction: There was only one way in and out for a car as Snake finds out. The alley they both came in is obviously different from the one Snake tries to escape through. This is further confirmed by the fact that the police car is not parked at the end of the alley Snake tries to exit through.

Also, Springfield PD isn't exactly known to be top-notch. This could've been a mistake by the cops as well. Even so, character mistake.

Correction: Bart might have believed it was spelt Quick instead of Kwik. It sounds the same and most kids when they learn to spell are taught to spell as it sounds, so that might have lead to Bart not thinking it was a mistake. It was only a small display for plan of attack.

Lummie

As a regular customer at the Kwik-E-Mart, I'm pretty sure that he would know how it was spelt.

Correction: He ordered turkey and he got turkey salad. There aren't that many people who would complain. Who makes plain sandwiches nowadays?

Correction: They probably did this for a joke.

Also, later on in the series, Lenny and Carl ask why it's called a high five when they only have 4 fingers.

Lisa's Pony - S3-E8

Corrected entry: When Homer falls asleep in the car, he hits the dashboard with his fist, and the airbag pops out. If you watch in slow motion though, he doesn't hit anything at all. (00:19:30)

Yoshi

Correction: Slow-mo is not permitted under this site's rules.

Sacha

This isn't a valid correction.

If the scene was watched and the mistake can't be seen without slo-mo, it's a valid correction.

Show generally

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)
