D'oh-in' in the Wind - S10-E6

Audio problem: In the beginning, we are at the power plant. We find out that Burns has packed his own lunch, and one thing he packed is a bullion cube. His mouth doesn't move right when he says "Bullion cube".

Tree House of Horror XI - S12-E1

Continuity mistake: In Reaper madness, there's a scene which Homer wakes up being the grim reaper, he puts the robe on at which point he is wearing a singlet. In the next scene where God turns Homer back to his regular self he is wearing his white shirt.

Tree House of Horror X - S11-E4

Continuity mistake: When The collector falls over the banister and into the Lucite, Xena is taped into a plastic pouch; but when she gets out, she pulls the bag down easily, without ripping open the bag or the tape.

Homer Badman - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: Just after Marge's left jacket pocket bursts open at the candy convention the shot changes to a shot of Marge's face. The next shot her right pocket has suddenly burst as well and the candy in it is no where to be seen.

Lummie

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Deliberate mistake: Arnie says that he drops his bagel. When he does he starts to say it, but when we see the helicopter it has just fallen out. If he dropped it at the time he did, then it would be much further down and wouldn't be visible in that shot. (00:05:20)

Itchy and Scratchy and Marge - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the beginning after Maggie hit Homer on the head, it shows him laying on the couch with Bart & Lisa on the left. The next shot it shows the TV, in the next shot it shows Homer on the left sitting and Bart & Lisa on the right. It's impossible for Homer to get up and switch sides with Bart And Lisa in less than 5 seconds.

Catch 'em If You Can - S15-E18

Continuity mistake: The Credit card numbers for Ned and Rod's VIZA cards are exactly the same: 8525 4941 2525 4158 First Bank of Springfield Viza valid from 1/1 to 12/31(thirty years on the credit card?)

Weekend at Burnsie's - S13-E16

Audio problem: There is an elaborate bass line right at the end of Phish's song; however, the bassist's fingers don't even move. There's no way he could play that line without moving his hand. (00:13:50)

Xofer

Homer's brain: It's simple, just use reverse psychology.
Homer: Reverse psychology? That sounds too complicated.
Homer's brain: Alright, don't use reverse psychology.
Homer: Alright, I will!
