Moe Baby Blues - S14-E22

Continuity mistake: At the birthday party Maggie is playing in the sandbox with one of Apu's kids. She and Apu's son both have pink with green polka-dots party hats on. After she is taken out of the sandbox by Moe, Homer takes her and she keeps squirming out of his arms. Look on her head and you'll see that her party hat has disappeared, and never comes back.

Moe Baby Blues - S14-E22

Continuity mistake: When Grandpa goes nuts outside the house he knocks over 2 bins and spills rubbish on the pavement, in the next shot the bins and the rubbish are gone.

Brake My Wife, Please - S14-E20

Continuity mistake: Whilst Moe is talking to himself about going back to barber college the door to his bar is wide open. When the shot changes to him when he says "Who the hell am I talking to?" the door has suddenly closed. There was not enough time for it to close between shots.

Lummie

Large Marge - S14-E4

Continuity mistake: After Homer paints "El Homo" on the wall, he paints over it so that none of the letters are visible. In the next shot a couple of the letters are visible, and are only struck out with one line.

Hamster

Special Edna (a.k.a. Love and Marking) - S14-E7

Factual error: During the video screening at the Teacher of the Year committee, the panel is watching the teacher who acts like Robin Williams. In the video the main judge says "Next" and pushes a button on the video control. It goes to the video that Bart Simpson sent in. How was this possible? The video control would only fast forward the video and two separate entries would not be sent in on the same tape. The committee wouldn't have spliced the footage together onto the same tape as the tapes were piled up on the desk. At the start of the scene one of the judges mentions to put in the next tape.

Moe Baby Blues - S14-E22

Continuity mistake: On the trip back from the gardens, Homer rear ends the car in front of him on the bridge which sends Maggie flying out of the car. In a long shot of the bridge whilst Maggie is in the air you can see the car has changed to an orange color instead of the usual light purple color. The two cars in front of them also change during shot. The one in front of the simpsons changes from a normal red mid sized car to a blue van, whilst the car in front of that one changes from being a green car to a blue one during the aerial shot of Maggie.

Moe Baby Blues - S14-E22

Continuity mistake: When Homer goes to catch Maggie (after flying out of the car) he jumps over two cars in front of him and then falls over the second one and there is no sign of any cars in front of him. However in the shot before he climbs over the cars the aerial shot of Maggie flying in the air, all the cars on the bridge are bumper to bumper with no spaces in between them.

Audio problem: When Bart's gang is singing their song and Nelson is playing the banjo, he sings "because she's dead" and plays different notes yet his hands don't move along the neck of the guitar.

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.
