Continuity mistake: In the scene after Homer and Apu rescues the babies, Maggie is first seen wearing a bow. Then, when she's next seen, it's gone. When we see her one more time, the bow is back.

DaveJBContinuity mistake: Lisa places her Gaspacho on the house end of the table but in a following shot it's at the other end when the dog is drinking it.
Continuity mistake: When Homer is at Moe's tavern talking about Marge, the level in his beer glass keeps changing even if he doesn't drink.
Dr WilsonContinuity mistake: When the person delivers the animation cell, his skin changes from white, to brown and then back to white. When Bart looks through the letterbox to see who was there, his skin is white. When he gives the box to Bart, it is brown. When he hits Bart in the face and says "that's for keeping me waiting", it is white again.

Hamster
Continuity mistake: John is wearing Homer's old "Pin-pals" bowling shirt when the Simpsons first meet him, but only after we see the back of the shirt does the name "Homer" appear over John's breast-pocket; clearly there was nothing there during their entire previous conversation. And even if this is a deliberate "mistake" for comic purposes, in 7th season episode"Team Homer", the very same bowling shirt is ripped to shreds when Homer is being mauled by Mr.Burns' dogs at the very end.
Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment - S2-E13

OL1V3R666Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: When all the kids are watching TV, we see Wendell, Martin and Milhouse. Absurdly they appear to be right below the ceiling in this shot - when in every other shot they are sitting on the sofa or standing.

Continuity mistake: When Moe tells Homer to sit on Barney's seat in front of the beer tap, Homer is sitting on a stool next to it. Homer suddenly switches seats between shots and the other seat disappears.
Continuity mistake: In the episode which recalls how Homer and Marge got married, Homer writes a note to Marge on a piece of paper entitled 'From The Pen Of Patty' he SCRIBBLES out Patty's name and writes his own, but when Marge reads the note, 'Patty' only has a single straight line through it. The word "HOMER" also changes.
The Old Man and the C Student - S10-E20
Continuity mistake: Springy the Olympic spring that Homer makes has 9 coils. Then we see the large version that has many coils, at the Olympics meeting. Homer's original spring is in his hand and now it has many coils also. When it cuts back to the stage, the large spring has few coils, like the very first time we saw Springy.
Dan Moat
VideoContinuity mistake: This is a mistake for the introduction from seasons 2-20 (1991-2009). When Homer screams, he turns round. You see this in a wide shot. There are no boxes to the right of the door in the garage. However, two just appear out of thin air when he runs through the garage. (00:01:50)

[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.
