Mothers and Other Strangers - S33-E9

Continuity mistake: A teenage Homer and his father travel to Utah to look for Homer's fugitive mother, whom they find. This completely contradicts the episode Mother Simpson, where Homer didn't reconnect with his mom until he was in his late thirties, and was told all his life by his father that she was dead, even believing that the grave of Walt Whitman belonged to his mother.

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the United Nations, the Russian placard is just a placard. In the next shot, the placard is attached with a rod to rotate it at the push of a button.

Mr. Plow - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When we first see the rickety bridge, there is very noticeably a bit of wood missing from the bridge. When we see the overhead shot there are no gaps of that size. (00:19:00)

Marge Gets a Job - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When Burns is lay on the floor telling Smithers that he dreamed of Marge again last night, the painting behind Smithers is very badly painted and very childish in appearance. Burns' head is completely disproportionate for example. When the shot changes to Smithers the painting is now a lot more detailed and no longer looks childish. (00:14:42)

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.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.
