* IdiotBall: Since Bart hand wrote his letters to Edna, she should have been able to tell an adult's handwriting from a fourth grader's. Especially since she should have seen enough schoolwork and tests from Bart to be able to recognize his handwriting. Similarly, since Bart cut the photo of Gordie Howe out of a book, there probably would have been text or a picture from the other page on the back which would have been a giveaway that this wasn't an original photo taken of "Woodrow".

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Ned finds out that Homer's swearing has rubbed off on his kids, so he tries to make Homer stop, even being willing to shave off his mustache to do so. This contradicts two later episodes.
** In "Home Away From Homer", Flanders is willing to give up his new life in a wonderful town because the townsfolk hate mustaches and he's not willing to shave it off.
** Despite Flanders having a bone to pick with Homer for his swearing (albeit relatively minor swear words like "hell" and "damn"), when Homer unleashes an AtomicFBomb (which he and his kids hear) in "Who Shot Mr. Burns", all he can say is "Dear Lord, that's the loudest profanity I've ever heard!"
