Goofs[]
- Amber and Ginger had no real reason for tracking Homer and Ned down other than to exploit them for money. Technically, they were never even really married, as both Ned and Homer were already married when they married Amber and Ginger (and the two were drunk when they married Amber and Ginger, which also isn't allowed, despite the trope of a character drunkenly marrying a stranger being common in fiction)
Lisa with three arms
- When Lisa is looking through the Monopoly collection, she gets Edna Krabappoly out and when she's about to look at the next one, a third arm comes out of nowhere, and then disappears. It is impossible for it to be Marge's as she's not paying attention when Lisa's going through them.
- When the Simpsons were playing Monopoly, Bart had multiple hotels and houses, however you are only allowed up to four houses and once you have four houses you are then allowed to purchase one hotel which replaces the houses. Alongside, he does not have any houses or hotels on the other yellow properties he owned.
Abe without glasses
- When the Simpsons were playing Monopoly, Lisa mentions that Bart bought Marge a house, however you are not allowed to purchase anything for other players or share money, because that would be cheating.
- In the wedding video between Abraham Simpson and Amber, Abe is missing his glasses at first but they randomly appear in the middle of the scene.
