* DidntThinkThisThrough: It's clear in "Easy-Bake Coven" that Wiggum and the other law enforcement officers had no plan for one of the women accused of witchcraft actually having magical powers. Wiggum tells Marge that if she actually is a witch, she should report back to him to be tortured and killed, not considering that Marge could easily fly away.

*CounterProductiveWarning: Here, Marge and her sisters are depicted as witches, and the Flanders are worried about their kids as they mention how witches take children away to eat them. The Bouvier witches were watching from their magic cauldron, and mention they were just going to swipe their shoes, but prefer to go with the children-eating idea.

Fixing error. "Easy-Bake Coven" aired more than a decade before the release of Princess and the Frog, thus Lou could not have been transformed into Princess Tiana.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: In "Easy-Bake Coven", Wiggum's statement that Marge will "fall to an honorable Christian death" if she isn't a witch is presented as a bit of InsaneTrollLogic, but this attitude actually ''is'' consistent with how real-life witch hunters reasoned on both sides of the Atlantic. As they saw it, it was safer to just kill anyone suspected of being a witch, since you'd be ridding the world of a demon if the accusation was true, and if they were innocent then they'd be sent to heaven as a martyr.

* WitchHunt: "Easy-Bake Coven" is a parody of one, and naturally the paranoia and petty abuse of witch trials is upped to eleven due to it being 17th century [[WorldOfJerkass Springfield]], with Marge tried as one simply because they didn't have anyone to put on trial that day, and an expected MortonsFork test where she will die either way. The big twist on the genre is that Marge turns out to be a ''real'' witch and starts a revenge rampage on the town with her sisters.
