Continuity mistake: When Homer walks into the kitchen to show Marge his new Simpson addition, we can see the shelving unit under the window in the den that has a single spindle and finial from the top to middle shelf, with two blue books lying on their sides, but in the closeup of the pig's tail now there are two spindles and two finials, with a red book that's upright.

Continuity mistake: When Homer brings his pet pig home to meet Marge, they enter the kitchen and the roll of paper towels is hanging under the cabinet near the window, but in the closeup when he and the pig share a carrot the paper towel roll and its holder have both vanished, and then they reappear. A cutting board suddenly appears on the counter as well. (00:15:30)

Continuity mistake: At the town hall meeting, when Lenny says, "It's not so bad," there's a single head light fixture on the wall near the balcony, but when Moe shouts, "This is why we should hate kids," there's a double head fixture on the wall, and yet in the first overhead shot of the meeting there's no fixture at all in that space.

Continuity mistake: When Bart falls off the roof and grabs hold of the rain gutter, it's one continuous seamless piece of trough material, but in the following shots that gutter consists of a few connected sections. (00:08:05)

Continuity mistake: There's a tiled patio at the back of the house with a total of twelve large tiles, but when the house goes down the sinkhole there are sixteen tiles in total. Plus the fact that when Bart's on the roof hanging from the gutter the tiles below are white (they also appear white when the house falls into the sinkhole), but when the dome is placed over Springfield the tiles are brownish-orange.

Continuity mistake: When the dome is being placed over the town, the church and Moe's Bar are shown right next to each other, but later on in the film, when Barney runs out of the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at the church, Moe's Bar is nowhere to be seen. (00:26:30 - 00:48:30)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Bart and Lisa are looking at the cabin from a hill, the cabin only has a shallow incline to the water, but in a later scene, when Homer goes to look for his family, there's a significant slope.

Continuity mistake: When Maggie does her disappearing act through the sinkhole, and Marge rushes to get Homer, the wooden porch swing is directly in front of the window, with its top beam as high as the top of the window. When Homer says, "This dome can play tricks on you," note the door and window behind Marge, because the swing is now gone. (00:31:10)

Question: When Homer opens the curtains from the Red Rash Inn Motel room, there are several Advertising sign posters in foreign languages. The one in the middle-right is in Korean and it advertises classes to learn English with a Texan accent. Can someone explain what this joke is about?

Answer: I believe the joke is supposed to be that the way Texans speak is a language all its own.
