Goofs[edit]
- Ned Flanders is seen to have a lot of hidden body fat in this episode, but most episodes to have him shirtless depict him as very muscular.
- When everyone is drunk on the bus, the Blue-Haired Lawyer's glasses have black rims in this episode instead of the usual green ones.
- When Marge suggests the Color-By-Numbers kit to Lisa, she is instead holding the Li'l Leonardo Art Set. After the camera changes, she is actually holding the correct Color-By-Numbers kit, but another Color-By-Numbers kit is also seen behind her.
- When Marge and Lisa look through art kits, in one shot when Marge is behind the Leather Craft set her arm is drawn in front of it, revealing it not all the way drawn.
