Secrets of a Successful Marriage - S5-E22
Continuity mistake: When Homer gets thrown out of the house by Marge and Otto walks up to him, you can see that it is Smithers and Carl standing behind Homer. Yet in the next shot when you see Homers face, you can see it is now Principal Skinner and Carl standing there.
Audio problem: At the theatre, when the cook talks to Mark Hamill off-stage he sounds exactly like Moe the bartender.

Continuity mistake: When Homer beats the train they are on a road, but then another train comes by and hits them right where the road was.

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 Later, after the avalanche, the door seems to open a different way, the knob has been replaced by a handle and it's on the other side.
And Maggie Makes Three - S6-E13
Plot hole: When Homer is seen at work in the flashbacks (before Maggie was born), he is at his usual control panel in sector 7-G, but he only began working here when Burns made him safety supervisor in season 1, "Homer's Odyssey". Before Maggie was born he should have been working at the conveyor belt with the carbon rods, where we saw him in the first couple of episodes.
Two Dozen and One Greyhounds - S6-E20
Continuity mistake: There are twenty-six puppies eating from their bowls in the kitchen. As the title suggests, there's meant to be twenty-five.

Continuity mistake: During the family's breakfast, in most shots Marge sits right beside Maggie's highchair, but in certain close-ups they are quite a few feet away from one another.

Tree House of Horror XII - S13-E1
Audio problem: In Reaper Madness; the scene where Homer destroys the Grim Reaper with a bowling ball, Bart is pinned on the wall by the Reaper's scythe. The scythe disappears and Bart says "Cool!" but his mouth just opens up and doesn't match the word.

Brake My Wife, Please - S14-E20
Continuity mistake: As Hibbert handcuffs Bart to the radiator he uses the second bar to the right. The next shot its moved to the next bar to the right.
Homer Alone - S3-E15
Audio problem: When Lisa screams "Mom" on the way to school, she just leaves her mouth open and doesn't close it. It should sound like "Maaaaaa" if she keeps her mouth open.
Simpsons Spin-off Showcase - S8-E24
Audio problem: In Moe's spinoff, when we first hear Grampa's voice, you can see the love tester in the background but the love meter lights do not light up when he speaks.
Homer Badman - S6-E9
Character mistake: When Grandpa is putting up the American flag for Homer's public access show and Marge says the flag only has 49 stars, there are actually only 38: 8+7+8+7+8.
Factual error: You wouldn't hear a dial tone on one side of the phone line if the phone on the other side was cut from the receiver. You wouldn't hear anything.
Continuity mistake: When Homer shows his "incriminating photos," you can see that in them, he is bald. We know from several previous episodes that Homer had hair when Bart was a baby. He even has a bit of hair when Lisa is born.
