Trilogy of Error - S12-E18

Continuity mistake: During Lisa's and Bart's segment, time seems to run really quickly. When Lisa leaves West Springfield Elementary it is 11:00 and when she gets to Moe's it is noon, then a few minutes later it is 2:50. When Bart and Milhouse find Fat Tony it is noon, then when Bart gets hit by the truck, it is almost 3:00.

Pranksta Rap - S16-E9

Continuity mistake: When Bart goes up to his treehouse to write the kidnap letter, he throws his Murder 4 Life jumper out the treehouse entrance. Later, when Lisa finds the jumper, it is now on a tree branch as if he threw it out of one of the treehouse windows.

Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes? - S3-E24

Other mistake: On the DVD, when Homer is sitting on the Spinemelter, he says at one point "I've tried to fill it with family, religion, community service, but those were dead ends. This card is the answer." However the subtitles say "I've tried to fill it with family, religion, but those things were dead ends. This card is the answer", leaving "community service" out.

Suggested correction: It is very common to shorten the subtitles so viewers don't have to read much.

[The Simpsons are driving down a road as fast as possible.]

[The gas needle immediately drops to empty and the car stops.]
Homer: D'oh.
