TwotallPlot hole: In the last part of the episode, when Mr Burns is trying to convince Homer on his float to play a big prank, the timing is totally wrong.

Yoshi

OL1V3R666Revealing mistake: When there is a zoom in of the house just before Bart gets up late, it has the old arch-shaped windows, but in the rest of the episode it has the normal windows. It's obviously a screen from Season 1.
OL1V3R666Large Marge - S14-E4
Factual error: In Luigi's, the lobsters in the tank are bright red. They are actually quite dark brown until they are boiled when they become red/pink.
