Corrected entry: On the series 4 DVD box set there is a message from Matt Groening. In the message he is talking about some of the episodes, and refers to "Ralph Wiggum's immortal 'Choo-Choo-Choose Me' valentine to Lisa." In actually, it was a valentine from Lisa to Ralph, and the card read "I Choo-Choo-Choose You."
Burns' Heir - S5-E18
Corrected entry: The nuclear power station has three huge chimney stacks belching smoke. Why? What are they burning?
Corrected entry: When Bart watches "Gorilla The Conqueror" with Homer, the giant gorilla in the film throws a tree at various people. Some of the people are in mid-air before the impact.
Correction: Not really a mistake in the Simpsons, more a nod to the fairly obvious, and poor, special effects used in these kind of movies.
Radio Bart - S3-E13
Corrected entry: When Bart accidentally drops the radio down the well, we can see in the first shot that the rope is in a bundle and is very long. In the next shot the rope appears to be shorter. (00:09:35)
Corrected entry: After Bart crashes at the social club, it has stopped raining. (00:05:25)
Correction: Not at all clear why the rain stopping is a mistake.
Corrected entry: When Homer does the test again, he doesn't read the questions in order if you look carefully on the sheet. (00:18:00)
Correction: There is no reason why he has to read them in order. He's answering the ones he knows first which is something many people do.
Corrected entry: Homer complains that he missed a part of Joe Theisman. It's a TAPE. He can just watch it over again. (00:07:10)
Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious - S8-E13
Corrected entry: In the Austrian commercial, the young Rainier Wolfcastle speaks in English. Austria is a German speaking country.
Correction: Commercials shot in Europe are often shot in two versions; the native language and English. The US/UK market is a huge one and advertising agencies cater for this by shooting English versions of commercials.
Corrected entry: During the trial, the prosecutor shows the court several betting slips that Krusty's used. Right before this, Krusty revealed he couldn't read or write - how would Krusty have known what to write on the slips?
Correction: The betting slips could simply be the records that the betting agency took down of Krusty when he bet on events (e.g. In Lisa the Greek Krusty phones in his bet to Moe on the football and tells him to record a bet for Sideshow Mel).
Corrected entry: After Marge finds out that Bart didn't watch Maggie, she spits her pacifier at him. In the very next shot her pacifier is back in her mouth. (00:02:25)
Correction: Almost every other show it is demonstrated that Maggie has hundreds of pacifiers available to her. She spits one out, and she gets another one. That's just what happend here.
Corrected entry: Homer weighs 239lbs and has to gain 61 pounds. But when he has gained his 61 pounds, plus 15lbs extra, Homer looks double his original size. It is very doubtful he would look that much fatter from gaining just 76 odd lbs.
Correction: Wrong. Every ounce he gains is fat, and ironically human fat is fairly light. A lot of the 239 pounds of original Homer would be muscle (very heavy) and bone (moreso), and he wouldn't gain any of those from a bad diet. So, a 239 pound man gaining 76 pounds of fat would hugely increase his bulk, just like we see.
Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: Krusty tells the monkey to wait in the car. However, when Krusty leaves, he has no car. (00:05:55 - 00:11:30)
Correction: "Go wait in the car" is a common form of dismissal in the film/t.v. industry - it means "sod off", words to that effect. No car is involved.
Corrected entry: Why would the audience NOT notice that Nelson was given a knife by his friends? (00:13:40)
Correction: Even if they did see, why would they care? Knives aren't illegal and for all they knew, the knife could have been his to begin with.
Corrected entry: If Seymour was trapped under papers, wouldn't his mother set him free somehow? (00:19:15)
Correction: If the police couldn't find or hear him despite being in the garage then she would most likely not hear him either.
Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6
Corrected entry: In Krusty's story, when he's doing his performance with balloons on the stage, we can see Krusty's father in the background, watching and clapping at Krusty. (00:09:10)
Correction: His father didn't know that it was his son until the other Rabbi sprayed him with the seltzer, washing off Krusty's makeup.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Krusty is asking the girls questions, he reads off a cue card on what to say, but the problem is Krusty can't read.
Correction: In "Krusty Gets Busted" (season 1), we learn that Krusty can't read; however, this show takes place after that, by which point Krusty has probably learned to read somewhat (the cuecards, at least).
Treehouse of Horror XIII - S14-E1
Corrected entry: How does Homer have 2 rifles and an assault rifle and many other guns when back when he first tried to get a gun he was only allowed 2 handguns or less?
Correction: The Halloween specials don't follow the continuity of the regular episodes - remember how many characters die in the Treehouse of Horror eps? Facts from the regular episodes don't have to be consistent in these Halloween specials.
Tree House of Horror II: A Simpsons Halloween - S3-E7
Corrected entry: At the beginning of Part 1, we are told that the Simpsons are in Marrakech, Morocco. At the airport, however, we can see on the building 'Marrakesh Airport' - the spelling is different. (00:02:20 - 00:03:15)
Correction: Transliterations from other languages, especially unrelated languages, into English are inexact and even inconsistent. How many ways are there of spelling, in English, the name of the dictator of Libya? Gaddafi, Qaddafi, Kaddafi ...
Who Shot Mr. Burns? (1) - S6-E25
Corrected entry: Groundskeeper Willie says that his father got thrown in the bog, yet in another episode he says that his father was hung for stealing a pig. Also in the episode with the Loch Ness monster, Willies father is alive and well.
Correction: Willy said his father was thrown in the bog instead of having a proper BURIAL (presumably for the pig offence). You're right about the Loch Ness episode though.
Corrected entry: When Bart and Milhouse buy the 'Super Squishy' Bart pays with a $20 bill. Apu gives no change but after this they go to a V.I.P. arcade, buy tickets for 'Catz' and buy loads of bubblegum. Considering they were out of money in the first place how did they afford all this?
Correction: What they did was simply an image of what they thought they did as Bart couldn't remember the next morning. Many episodes this happens when one of the characters go into song and dance. In the episode "Homer Badman", Homer goes into a song and dance where he and the family are under the sea.
Correction: The card does say that but Matt Groening is referring to Ralph's first words upon receiving the card which are "You choo choo choose me?"
