Goofs[]
- The case for the Finding Nemo DVD Milhouse's family has is blue when the actual DVD case for most copies of the movie is the standard black. This may have been intentional on the animators' part to tie into the fact that the movie is mostly set underwater and most of the characters are sea creatures.
- When Milhouse watches Finding Nemo, the chapter selection lists the first 4 chapters as New Parents, First Day of School, Field Trip, and The Drop Off. While chapter 1 of the movie is called New Parents, the latter 3 chapters are actually chapters 3, 4, and 5, and chapter 2 is really called Main Titles. The crew may have intentionally omitted this because the credits of a movie are often incorporated into other chapters and few people pay attention to them,
- When Lisa accidentally gets paint on Patty's hair, Patty's dress is pink, but when Bart pours Paint Thinner on it, it is blue.
- The paint brush has pink paint on, but Lisa needs yellow and blue to paint Bart on her picture.
- Bart says his birthday is too close to Christmas, however, Bart's birthday has been stated to be April 1. This made more sense in the Spanish version in which his birthday is December 28th.

- Luann Van Houten is seen in the background when everyone is gasping, in the next scene, however, she is close to Marge and Homer.
- In the credits, Kristen Schaal's last name is misspelled "Schall". In 500 Keys, the Chalkboard gag is Bart apologizing for this error.

- A flashback reveals that Homer brushed his own hair out as a teenager; however, "And Maggie Makes Three" shows that Homer tore his hair out when Marge was pregnant with Bart and Lisa.
- Leading into that flashback, Homer says that being able to cut hair is a natural talent he acquired due to losing his own and not wanting others to feel the same way he did, yet in "A Milhouse Divided" he attempted to style Marge's hair and it looked terrible.
