Continuity mistake: When Homer tells Lisa he needs "daughter's picks" while he's watching the playoffs, Lisa tucks the pencil behind her ear with its point facing her back, but in the next shot the pencil is tucked the opposite way with its point facing her front.
Continuity mistake: While Marge and Homer are standing by their front door when everyone leaves the house Marge is wearing earrings, but when it cuts to the closeup both of Marge's earrings have vanished.(00:08:10)
Continuity mistake: When Marge opens the dishwasher and tells Lisa to reattach the toilet seat, there's a red dish rack on the counter over the dishwasher, but in the previous and following shots there's a filled casserole dish over the dishwasher, not a dish drying rack.
Continuity mistake: When Moe brings Homer to the alley outside to talk about "Midge" and his fear of losing Maya again, they go through the bar's back door, and that door's window vanishes in the following shots.
Other mistake: While Homer and Moe are in the treehouse, Homer suggests to Moe that he propose to Maya. As their conversation continues, Homer's left hand doubles, so he has two left hands. Then, when Moe tells him he'll give it a shot, the fuzzy part of Homer's green slipper is missing.
Revealing mistake: When Lisa says "Now all we need is a name", Maggie's head disappears for a split second right before the shot changes to Bart talking.(00:17:20)
Other mistake: When Ned says "crème de cassis" while describing what was in the drink he made, there are several animation errors in this shot. His head is disconnected from his body, and his nose disappears. Also, a part of his face is missing between his fingers while he does the 'OK' hand gesture.
Other mistake: While Homer is in Lisa's bedroom trying to make things right with her, there are three pictures taped to Lisa's mirror. After Homer tells her the music may help, in the next shot Homer walks over to stand behind Lisa. Those pictures taped to Lisa's mirror are weirdly behind Homer's reflection, as if the pictures are taped to the wall behind Homer. Three shots later, when Homer tells Lisa he can fix the dollhouse, his reflection is accurate in relation to those three pictures taped to the mirror.(00:19:20)
Continuity mistake: When Bart opens the door for Krusty and Sophie, Bart is standing on a floor mat, but in the next exterior shot, that indoor floor mat has vanished. Other changes include the cane's handle within Krusty's grip facing the opposite way, as well as Krusty's and Sophie's positions at the outdoor purple mat.(00:06:50)
Continuity mistake: While Krusty is in the hospital talking to Sophie, he pops the IV line from his arm so the tubing hangs down from the fluid bag. But when Krusty tells Sophie that he knows she's reaching out, suddenly Krusty's IV line is properly inserted in the cannula again, only to change back to the tubing hanging down. Also, the white pillow propping up Krusty's foot vanishes and reappears during these shots.(00:05:15)
Continuity mistake: When Homer moves Maggie's crib closer to the gnome, the wall outlet under the light switch has nothing plugged in, but in the next shot as Homer exits the bedroom, a nightlight is suddenly plugged in.(00:10:20)
Continuity mistake: After Homer reveals the secret ingredient, one week later, Homer walks into Moe's. In the exterior shot, the door swings open at its right. However, when Moe lights the Flaming Homer, in the next exterior shot, the door swings open at its left.(00:21:00)
Continuity mistake: When Lisa is talking to Bart in her room, Lisa's necklace is red rather than white when Bart shouts "End all life on this planet!"(00:08:05)
Continuity mistake: After Phil eats the "horse" egg at Moe's he asks to be taken to the hospital, and when it cuts back to Homer at the power plant, the direction of the stripes on Homer's tie switch to the opposite direction, mid shot. The same thing occurs again later. First, when Homer is standing outside the office while Fred talks to Burns about the benefits package, and also when Homer can't stay for Marge's turkey breakfast.(00:07:05 - 00:12:20)
Other mistake: At the end of the episode Lisa and Bart watch Itchy and Scratchy in the TV room, which is beside the kitchen at the back of their house. The TV room has a window that faces the backyard, with the record player on a shelf in front of that window. The problem is when Bart looks out the back window and sees Lester skateboarding past the house, the view outside is actually the street in front of the Simpson house, not their backyard as it should be.
Continuity mistake: After John shows up in his car to take the Simpson family for a drive, Marge has her purse strap hanging off her left shoulder when she asks Homer to at least say hello to John. In the next shot, as she tells Homer that he liked John that morning, note Marge's purse strap is missing from her shoulder, but the purse is still there just hanging in midair under her arm. The strap reappears in its proper place in the next shot.(00:07:50)
Continuity mistake: When Marge runs after Bart because he's hiding something under his jacket, Homer pulls out a gate to block Bart's entrance to the TV room. Three different gate styles are shown.(00:20:35)
Revealing mistake: While Homer is waiting for Marge to come downstairs, both Patty and Selma are wearing turtlenecks. When Homer thanks Mr. Bouvier, in the next wide shot as the twins nod their heads, both of their turtlenecks are not colored in properly at their torsos, so the background is visible through their bodies.(00:16:30)
Continuity mistake: After Brodka lets Bart go with a warning the boy rides his bicycle home, and in the closeup the handlebar's single brake lever is at Bart's right hand, but in the next wide shot the brake lever is at his left hand. In the closeup there's also a bar at the center of the handlebar, but it's gone in the wide shot.(00:09:05)
