Who Shot Mr. Burns? (2) - S7-E1

Factual error: Chief Wiggum visually compares a bullet taken from Homer's gun to the bullet removed from Burns and concludes that they are exactly the same. Excluding the obvious forensic violation, the bullet removed from Burns is still whole and within its casing, meaning that either Maggie took the time to remove the casing and delicately shove it in Mr Burns' bullet wound (which is dumb) or the gun fired the whole casing along with the bullet (which would have blown up the gun).

Lisa the Vegetarian - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: In the cafeteria scene, the shots from Lisa's perspective show glass protectors with signs where the food is. However, when the shot switches to Lunch lady Doris' perspective, the protectors are gone.

Tree House of Horror VI - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: In "Attack of the 50 Foot Eyesores", when Lisa and Paul Anka perform their duet, you can see behind Anka there is a window and the bottom part of it is broken. But later on it is now completely intact and the two top windows are broken.

Tree House of Horror VI - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: In "Attack of the 50 Foot Eyesores", when Homer answers the door and finds the Lard Lad statue in front of him you can see there is a door knocker on the door and a green doormat on the step. But when he answers the door a second time, the door knocker and doormat have gone.

Tree House of Horror VI - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: In "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace", when Bart and Lisa come into the kitchen to tell their parents about Martin's death, you can see next to Lisa's plate there is only a spoon but in the next shot a fork suddenly appears.

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.
