The Heartbroke Kid - S16-E17

Revealing mistake: In the opening sequence's parody of the series where Bart becomes fat and comes out from school on his skateboard, he theoretically should go down the stairs, instead his silhouette suddenly climbs up on the wall next to him, revealing a mistake in the post-production's animation. (00:06:05)

A Star Is Torn - S16-E18

Continuity mistake: After Lisa finishes singing her song during the audition, there are several coloring mistakes in the shot of the audience clapping. Agnes Skinner's face is ghost white, but her hands are yellow. Mayor Quimby's suit is lavender instead of violet/blue, and his hair is light brown instead of medium brown. Helen Lovejoy has blonde hair instead of grey, and is wearing a purple shirt instead of pink sweater over blue shirt, and Reverend Lovejoy has a green shirt instead of pink, and has brown hair instead of black.

Nikolai

Pranksta Rap - S16-E9

Continuity mistake: When Bart goes up to his treehouse to write the kidnap letter, he throws his Murder 4 Life jumper out the treehouse entrance. Later, when Lisa finds the jumper, it is now on a tree branch as if he threw it out of one of the treehouse windows.

Casual Person

The Cartridge Family - S9-E5

TV Announcer: The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield. It's all here: fast kicking, low scoring. And ties? You bet.
Bart: Hey Dad, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?
Homer: I don't know.
TV Announcer: You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Arriaga, Arriaga II, Barriaga, Aruglia, and Pizzozza.
Homer: Oh, I've never heard of those people.
TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs.
Homer: Woohoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth. Mexico or Portugal.

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.
