The Simpsons

Radio Bart - S3-E13

Revealing mistake: At Wall E. Weasel's, when Nelson is throwing balls into the 'Skeeball' machine, the animation is repeated because Bart keeps moving in and out of the camera's view. (00:04:10)

Yoshi

Black Widower - S3-E21

Revealing mistake: When Moe and Barney are seen drinking wine at the wedding, somebody walks away with a tray. When they are drinking the animation is repeated because you can see part of the tray keeps coming on and off-screen. (Look by the bottom right). (00:13:25)

The Otto Show - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: When the riot police are running into the concert, you can see a 'cardboard' police officer leaning against his car, doing absolutly nothing, not even blinking or talking into his police microphone. (00:07:45)

Separate Vocations - S3-E18

Revealing mistake: After Bart gets promoted to Hall Monitor, when he tells the girl at the fountain to keep the line moving, the kid behind her drinks from the fountain but the water does not go into his mouth. (00:13:40)

The Otto Show - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: When Skinner starts to drive the bus, he says "Off we go". During this shot the sky is a brighter colour when you look out of the bus windows than if you just look outside the bus. (00:12:15)

Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11

Revealing mistake: When Homer takes out the dollar bill from his back pocket right before he puts it into the vending machine, the left side of the screen is cut off a little. You can tell especially with how the trash bin in the bottom left has a splotchy white line next to it. (00:02:20)

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)

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.
