Smart and Smarter - S15-E13

Factual error: The tongue Lisa sleeps on in the museum isn't anatomically correct. It shows the bitter and sweet taste buds as being side by side on the surface of the tongue. In reality, different taste buds are not in specific places on the tongue. I wouldn't normally complain, but this is supposed to be in a museum.

Revealing mistake: When Mrs. Dribb is wrapping Elizabeth up in bandages, you can just see the outline of the bald cap she is wearing. There is a straight line just above her eyes that goes nearly right across her forehead.

Two Bad Neighbors - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: Just before Marge tries to sell Skinner the tie rack, she is writing on something. She then puts her hands down by her waist, and then brings one up to turn it on and both up to pull the motor out. The point is that the pencil and the item she had in her hands have simply vanished, and we never saw her put them down either.

Other mistake: Near the end of the film, when the 2 nuclear missiles are destroyed, one by a fighter plane, the other by Segal, the same shot is used for both the missiles blowing up.

David Mercier

High Holidays - S11-E11

Continuity mistake: When Roz is talking to Martin in the cafe, she takes a cookie from the plate, but in the next shot she gives the brownie to Martin with the same hand and the cookie is nowhere to be seen.

David Mercier

Big Crane on Campus - S7-E14

Other mistake: In the kitchen, when Niles burns his hand you can see him move his hand down to stop the frying pan from falling off the stove. He doesn't touch it again, but it looks like the instinctive actions of someone who knocked something over rather than part of the scene. He just slips out of character for a moment.

David Mercier

Homer the Moe - S13-E3

Continuity mistake: In Moe's, Homer points at Lenny and says "Are you calling me a liar," with the same hand which is instantly holding a beer in the next shot.

David Mercier

Everyone's a Critic - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: When Frasier first meets Poppy, she says something like "but not in the brewery thank you very much." When she does this you can see she's holding her hand out in front, in the next shot it's by her side instantly.

David Mercier

Bomb - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: Near the start, when Vyvyan sticks his hand through the wall to swear at Rick, you can see where the holes from previous takes have been papered and painted over.

David Mercier

Flood - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Jerzei is coming through the door with an axe, you can see the door is paper thin to make it easier to get through. In fact you can see Alexei Sayle being very careful to only chip small bits away because a decent whack with the axe would smash the whole thing down.

David Mercier

The Parent Rap - S13-E2

Continuity mistake: When Homer is sleeping on Bart's school floor, Bart puts his shoe in Homer's mouth. Later, when Homer is screaming about "Cobras," the shoe has been coloured black, rather than the usual blue.

David Mercier

The One Where Chandler Can't Cry - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: In the cafe, Ross says to Rachel, "I'll tell her we can't see each other any more," and we see Rachel bring her hands down from her face. However, in the previous shot we had already seen her lower her hands. (00:03:25)

David Mercier

Mountain of Madness - S8-E12

Continuity mistake: When Mr Burns and Homer first enter the cabin, you can see the door opens with a door knob which is on the right hand side (looking from the outside). Later, after the avalanche, the door seems to open a different way, the knob has been replaced by a handle and it's on the other side.

Goodnight, Seattle (1) - S11-E23

Revealing mistake: You have to be very quick to spot this, but when the cannon goes off Niles drops the ring, you can actually see it drop between Eddie and the camera and bounce away from Eddie. In other words, it certainly doesn't go anywhere near the pate.

David Mercier

Sick - S2-E5

Factual error: During "Jester Balowski's Medieval Torture Hour," Balowski grabs the guys arm and bends it the way arms are supposed to bend, yet you hear a breaking noise.

David Mercier

When a Man Loves Two Women - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are in the cafe, Niles says "So what was Fay doing at your apartment last night?" When he says this, you can see he has just started to stir his coffee with a spoon. The shot then changes and the spoon has vanished.

David Mercier

Ink and Incapability - S3-E2

Factual error: Dr. Johnson completed his dictionary in 1755, 7 years before the Prince Regent was born (1762). So it's unlikely for him to be asking the Prince for patronage.

David Mercier

Home Sweet Home-Dum-Diddly Doodly - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: At the Flanders' house, in the kitchen, Bart and Lisa have sandwiches on plates in front of them. The shot changes and everyone on the table has an empty bowl including Bart and Lisa.

David Mercier

Bart the Fink - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: Bart flicks through his chequebook in the car and finishes on The Front page of it having gone through all the cheques. When the shot changes he is holding it open.

David Mercier

Factual error: The science teacher makes a water molecule and claims it makes up "96% of the human body." This is simply wrong. Depending on the person, it usually ranges between 70-80%, with around 15-18% of us being carbon.
