The Simpsons

Lisa's Sax - S9-E3

Plot hole: In this episode, Homer repeatedly says that they have no air-con or thermostat, but we saw that they had a thermostat in the first clip show episode. What happened to it?

Bart Carny - S9-E12

Continuity mistake: When Homer is talking through the door to Cooder about getting the house back, the shot is through the fisheye lens on the door and you can see Marge, Bart and Lisa smiling. The very next shot, they suddenly have a frown in no available time.

The Cartridge Family - S9-E5

Other mistake: When Homer is muttering whilst walking up and down the home landing at night after being told he has to wait 5 days to receive his gun/license, Lisa being awoken by his muttering complains that it is 3am but her bedside clock shows 9.50/21.50. (00:06:55)

Gal of Constant Sorrow - S27-E14

Continuity mistake: When Homer returns from work to get the cat out of the plug socket, he removes the plug socket cover without removing any of the plugs, but when Homer realises that the cat is in the ceiling, both the plug socket cover and the plugs have now been removed from the wall.

Casual Person

Simprovised - S27-E21

Continuity mistake: Before Homer begins his speech to the nuclear power plant employees, Lenny and Carl are wearing white/off white shirts with ties. After the speech, Lenny is wearing his usual green shirt with suspenders and Carl his usual gray jacket.

Das Bus - S9-E14

Character mistake: When Martin Prince supposedly represents Finland's culture for their recreation of the U.N at the Model U.N. Club Martin's outfit is not in fact a Finnish national costume. The outfit he is wearing actually resembles a traditional Sámi outfit. The Sámi people are the indigenous people living in Northern Europe. The specific style of Martin's outfit has characteristics that are more typical to the Sámi on the Swedish side of Sápmi. (00:02:15)

Tree House of Horror X - S11-E4

[The Simpsons are driving down a road as fast as possible.]
Homer: Dear God, it's Homer. If you really love me you'll save my life now.
[The gas needle immediately drops to empty and the car stops.]
Homer: D'oh.
