they have been 89 for a while now we’ll
miss you
gays are a rock over the course of
hundreds of episodes there are bound to
be a few contradictions welcome to
watchmojo.com the Simpsons that you
probably never noticed before we begin
we publish new content every day so be
sure to subscribe to our channel and
ring the bell to get notified about our
latest videos for this list we’re
looking at plot holes inconsistencies or
unexplained occurrences that have
happened throughout the long-running
animated sitcom however we won’t be
including treehouse of horror episodes
for the simpsons movie nor will we be
including anything that’s intentionally
inconsistent such as the location of
Springfield or mr. burns age we’re also
not saying that these plot holes make
the episodes or series bad but that they
just plain don’t make sense
you’re not putting anywhere near
Springfield it’s over here on poop
hey what you doing studying number 10
statewide bans it’s no secret that the
Simpsons caused more than just a little
while on a trip to Florida
Homer appears to have killed the state’s
pride and joy an alligator by the name
of Captain Jack as a result the family
is banned from the entire state of
Florida and the final joke indicates
that the family is banned from all
states
aside from North Dakota and Arizona it’s
funny but considering how the family
would continue to travel all over the
United States in later seasons it makes
this one a bit of a disparity well looks
like you folks are free to go but don’t
you set foot and stay a florid again
fine there are plenty of other states
that are happy to have us well we’re
still welcome in North Dakota and
Arizona number nine locations in
Springfield places like Moe’s Tavern
Springfield Elementary and the
kwik-e-mart have become almost as iconic
however depending on the script in plot
lines the locations of these places are
subject to change one episode shows
Moe’s to be a short walk away from the
Simpson home though this is never again
the case another episode shows the power
plant infecting fish in a nearby river
which we also never see again while the
opening credits gave us a brief tour of
Springfield the layout we see doesn’t
seem to hold up in the show number eight
The Simpsons computer when Homer misses
out on a day off from work due to his
lack of an email address he was quick to
fix the problem by getting the family a
computer this is the best computer in
the world and always will be right
absolutely
he is completely hopeless with it of
course however an earlier episode called
das bus showed Homer achieving the not
so simple task of starting his own
internet business even attracting the
attention of Bill Gates your internet ad
was brought to my attention but I can’t
figure out what if anything copy a
global hyper mega net does so rather
than risk competing with you
I’ve decided simply to buy you out it’s
possible that all the beer damaged his
memory but considering that the episode
ends with the
family trapped on a mysterious island
maybe we shouldn’t pay too much
attention to its continuity attention
some crazy creeps on an island somewhere
are secretly running the world number
seven the old Simpson farm
Homer spent his youngest years with his
parents on a quaint farm which is south
side of Springfield until he traumatized
the cows out of producing milk by
yelling at them after a fight in season
six Homer and Abe returned to the
abandoned farm and accidentally burn it
to the ground but by season 11 the farm
somehow returns to play a large role in
an episode as The Simpsons invent a
lucrative crop called tamaco
obviously for this to work out by the
show’s admittedly loose chronological
logic the farm would have needed to be
rebuilt or never burned down in the
first place what a dump
number six Bart’s allergies a major plot
point in the episode please Homer don’t
hammer him
Skinner using Bart’s shrimp allergy
against him Simpson do you been waving
your nuts in my face for too long
eat shrimp and die no it was an odd
choice to make shrimp his weakness since
several seasons earlier he had bragged
about devouring the shellfish I had so
much shrimp strangely this isn’t his
only inconsistent food allergy in season
two
Marge mentions that Bart is allergic to
butterscotch despite the fact that he’s
never shown restraint around candy
allergies butterscotch an imitation
butterscotch and glow-in-the-dark
monster makeup impressive Marge would
even mention several seasons later that
his favorite dish is butterscotch
chicken hmm still any excuse to stage a
battle to duel of the fates right sweet
cavities Bart your best shot I’m going
and making my specialty butterscotch
chip number five the whereabouts of dr.
Marvin Monroe several Springfield
residents have passed away throughout
the series which popular Simpsons
characters have died in the past year
if you said bleeding gums Murphy and dr.
Marvin Monroe you are wrong they were
never popular however though many
believed therapist Marvin Monroe to be
dead the show has indicated he may not
be season seven appeared to confirm his
death twice with a trivia question and a
Memorial Hospital named after him while
a season 11 episode clearly showed his
tombstone but after not appearing on the
show for several seasons Monroe returns
to buy Marge as romance novel where he
explains that he had apparently just
been very sick I haven’t seen you in
years
oh I’ve been very sick the show would
later poked fun at this plot hole by
hinting that he even wrote a book about
it
number four Marge is fear of flying huh
I’ve never told you this before The
Simpsons have had adventures all over
the world from Australia to itchy and
scratchy land that’s what makes this
season six episode which focuses on
Marge’s fear of flying so odd it would
be one thing if it was a mild fear but
we discovered that it’s a deep-seated
fear stemming from childhood trauma
which isn’t really fixed by the episodes
[Music]
additionally a season 3 episode featured
the family flying to Washington DC
during which her fear was never brought
up though it’s one of the best Marge
centric episodes there’s a laundry list
just the carp swimming around your
ankles number three why did Homer lose
his hair the cause of homers hair loss
has been a subject of debate since the
show’s earliest seasons and baldness is
hereditary in the second season Homer
yells at Bart that losing hair is
hereditary the explanation that makes
the most sense
however in season 5 it’s indicated that
a medical experiment had the unintended
side effect of hair loss mr. Simpson you
do realize this may result in hair loss
giddiness and the loss of equilibrium to
further complicate the matter a season
six flashback shows a stressed Homer
ripping more of his hair out
everytime Marge announces a pregnancy in
other episodes it’s been assumed that it
was due to radiation from the power
number to the Simpsons address it’s
widely known that the Simpsons live on
Evergreen Terrace where exactly on
Evergreen Terrace however is a subject
of debate 742 Evergreen Terrace that’s
our address most fans agree that 742
Evergreen Terrace is the address though
several other numbers have been thrown
around including 94 555 723 a thousand
and ninety-four and once even 430
Spalding way my name is Jimbo Jones and
I live at 10 94 Evergreen Terrace even
more confusingly 742 Evergreen Terrace
has also been shown to be a different
house entirely in homers triple bypass
in this 742 Evergreen Terrace no that’s
next door closed but new Doonan cops
we’ve already mentioned that locations
in Springfield rarely stay in the same
place but in the case of the most
important one in the show it seems like
a major oversight before we unveil our
topic here are a few honorable mentions
mobster William Fat Tony Williams Fat
Tony is a cancer on this fair city did
you know fat Tony’s real name is Marion
dear Lord may your loving hand guide
boys it wasn’t easy choosing only one of
you for the free week at Pele soccer and
acting camp let’s all congratulate
Nelson number one homer and Marge’s back
story due to the agelessness of the
characters the story of homer and Marge
has played out multiple times in
multiple eras who’da thought Darth Vader
was Luke Skywalker’s father pull the
picture for me in one episode it appears
that Bart was conceived after the to see
the Empire Strikes Back in 1980 while a
later episode indicates that he was
conceived in the late 90s after homers
grunge band disbanded more recent
episode even portrayed their young
carefree life in the mid-2000s being
disrupted by the pregnancy though a
consistent backstory is tough to keep
for characters who live in a time vacuum
it’s hard to know what we should believe
