Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk - S3-E11

Revealing mistake: When Homer takes out the dollar bill from his back pocket right before he puts it into the vending machine, the left side of the screen is cut off a little. You can tell especially with how the trash bin in the bottom left has a splotchy white line next to it. (00:02:20)

Black Widower - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: During the wedding, look at the man with the blue hair carrying the tray with hors d' oeuvres that Homer is eating. When Homer says "Hey wiener boy. Where do you think you're going?" the man's collar changes from white to black instantly.

Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes? - S3-E24

Other mistake: On the DVD, when Homer is sitting on the Spinemelter, he says at one point "I've tried to fill it with family, religion, community service, but those were dead ends. This card is the answer." However the subtitles say "I've tried to fill it with family, religion, but those things were dead ends. This card is the answer", leaving "community service" out.

Suggested correction: It is very common to shorten the subtitles so viewers don't have to read much.

Flaming Moe's - S3-E10

Other mistake: When Moe is calling for a 'Hugh Jazz' there is a shot of the bar and Otto can be seen in the upper right corner. However his face is all distorted and out of proportion. (00:14:30)

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.
