Hardcore fans can be quite the conundrum. When you're going to a sporting event, a raucous crowd can really add a lot to the experience and make the game a lot more exciting. (Except for the wave. That's a lame pain in the ass.) But they can also suck the fun out of something that's great, too. Case in point, MovieMistakes.com put together 139 mistakes that have occurred in The Simpsons. Now, if these mistakes were something interesting like "In this scene, Homer's black," or "In this scene, there's a penis hanging out of Lisa's mouth" I would be all for this. But instead, it's mostly just random continuity issues where Marge's shoes are green in one scene and red in the next. Which I could give two shits about (and don't worry, I have way more than two shits in me at all times.)
There's a green phone in the background of the second picture, but it's clearly not there in the first. If it was, you would be able to see the chord hanging down. Also, the sign appears below the phone & extinguisher.
Not to mention that fact the monitors above his.. Desk? Disappear in the second picture.
There are often mistakes made with color in The Simpsons. This is because the color gets put on the cells in Korea where they sometimes mistranslate the instructions. Mat Groening said in an interview that they often have to send the cells back but if it's only a minor mistake they don't worry about it. In the "Bart's Comet" ep. where everyone is walking up the hill behind Ned joining in the song, Apu has yellow skin the same as everyone else (this is mentioned in the Simpsons guide). There is a couch gag with the family running in and sitting down in black and white and then Korean people run in and add the color with paint brushes-there is a slight mistake with the eye outlines but I don't know if this is in reference to the real life mistakes
God, most of these are pathetic. I'm sure that they "mistakenly" forgot that Homer's brain was hanging out of his head in one scene and not the next. Jesus, how dumb. It's a cartoon, Nerdlinger!

Awesome catch, btw...
