Flaming Moe's - S3-E10

Other mistake: When Moe is calling for a 'Hugh Jazz' there is a shot of the bar and Otto can be seen in the upper right corner. However his face is all distorted and out of proportion. (00:14:30)

Krusty Gets Busted - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When the robbery happens, Homer steps on the robber's feet, and we can tell he has large shoes. When they show video of the robbery on the news, the robber has regular shoes. During the hearing, they watch the video again. His shoes are back to long again.

Lisa Gets an A - S10-E7

Revealing mistake: When Nelson is offering Lisa the fraction quiz answers, right before Lisa says she's never cheated before and won't again, her right hand disappears for a single frame.

Bart Star - S9-E6

Character mistake: When Chief Wiggum shows up to arrest Nelson during the game at the end of the episode, Bart goes with Wiggum instead while pretending to be Nelson. Even a cop as incompetent as Chief Wiggum would not have mistaken Bart for Nelson since he'd had numerous dealings with both before this episode; Wiggum may not be particularly bright, but he knows who's who in Springfield.

Suggested correction: Not really a mistake for this show in particular. Characters like Homer, Bart, Chief Wiggum, Grampa and others are deliberately written to be on a sliding scale of stupidity, pretty much exclusively for the benefit of whatever joke the show is telling.

Bart the Mother - S10-E3

Factual error: When Bart is at Nelson's house and Nelson is firing the BB gun, bullets should come out of his gun when he pumps it. None ever come out, and several times he is shown firing without pumping.

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.
