** ''The Simpsons'' did a joke showing Peter Griffin from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' among a crowd of successively stupider Homer Simpson clones. ''Family Guy'' fired back with a gag indirectly pointing out that by the same logic, Homer was a stupider clone of [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]]. In a later episode, Peter appeared on a Wanted poster for [[FollowTheLeader plagiarism]]. This time ''Family Guy'' turned their response up to eleven, with a gag that started with Quagmire [[BlackComedyRape raping Marge]] and ended with him murdering the entire Simpsons family.

** The Latin American Spanish dub [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks became infamous for replacing the entire cast]] when the original studio (Audiomaster 3000) closed after season 15. The new studio, New Art Dub, wanted to lift a clause where only actors that worked in the studio could do voiceover there, in order to sign up independent voice actors; this caused many of the actors that worked there to go on strike against the new studio, and several of those who lent their voice to ''The Simpsons'' got banned from the studio and from participating in any Fox-produced material — only a handful of voice actors survived the strike, such as Jorge Ornelas (Moe), Gonzalo Curiel (Kent Brockman), Creator/AlejandroMayen (Carl), and Sebastian Llapur (Grampa). Starting with Season 16, in terms of the eponymous family, Humberto Vélez was replaced with Victor Manuel Espinoza in the role of Homer, Nancy [=McKenzie=] was replaced by Marina Huerta for Marge, and Patricia Acevedo was replaced by Nallely Solis for Lisa.

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E2ThePrincipalAndThePauper The Principal and the Pauper]]" has been controversial among the staff.

Matt Groening, Al Jean, and most of the writers have openly criticized the episode, but none were more vocal than Creator/HarryShearer, who condemned it for "tossing (Principal Skinner's character) in the trash can for no good reason", which might have been a catalyst for his constant dissatisfaction of the show's SeasonalRot. Shearer also alleged that even years after the fact, the writing staff acts like [[CanonDiscontinuity the episode never happened]].

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting:
** In the commentary for "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E11TheCrepesOfWrath The Crepes of Wrath]]", the writers note that the bit about adding antifreeze to wine was a parody of an incident where some wine was found contaminated with antifreeze, but that, obviously, the contamination wasn't deliberate. Except that the contamination was discovered when a winery started listing antifreeze as a business expense, and it was very deliberately added to make the wine sweeter.[[note]]This is definitely dangerous, though not as dangerous as it sounds. Ethylene glycol is indeed poisonous, but when mixed with sufficient quantities of ethanol, it passes harmlessly into urine.[[/note]]
** Abe Simpson once recalls his father talking about America being the greatest thing since sliced bread. He then says that sliced bread had been invented the previous winter. It was just meant as an old joke, but given that he served in WWII and sliced bread was invented in 1928, the writers were surprisingly accurate with this one.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E17HomerAtTheBat Homer at the Bat]]", when baseball player Steve Sax is falsely arrested for murder, he asks if he gets {{one phone call}}, to which Lou responds, "You watch too many movies". While that line was meant to show the Springfield P.D. to be corrupt and incompetent, it's actually very truthful as the whole "one phone call" thing that's often showcased in movies and TV shows is very much a Hollywood myth. Whether or not you get a phone call is entirely up to police discretion.

Pamela Hayden also voiced Dolph on a brief scene in "New Kid on the Block," when Kearney tries to hit on Laura, and Laura implies that Dolph and Kearney are gay (Dolph's only line in that episode was, "That chick's messin' with our minds."), and for his appearance in "The PTA Disbands".

* TalkingToHimself: The majority of the characters who appear on the show are voiced [[ManOfAThousandVoices by the same small group of voice actors]], in particular Creator/DanCastellaneta (Homer and broader characters like Barney and Willie), Creator/NancyCartwright (Bart and other child characters like Nelson and Ralph), Creator/HarryShearer (Burns and straight-laced characters like Skinner and Flanders) and Creator/HankAzaria (Moe, Apu and sillier characters like Wiggum and Frink). Creator/JulieKavner is a bit more limited in doing mostly Marge and her family (Patty and Selma, variations on the same voice), while Creator/YeardleySmith is unusual in that she just does Lisa, barring the rare one-gag role (typically a Lisa soundalike).
