What episode is this from, that seems like a pretty big mistake if it is not deliberate.

Edit: Apparently not having a knowledge of every single episode has brought upon the downvotes. Apologies for asking a question

[–]sfxguy 23 points24 points ago

It is deliberate, Lisa says the line quoted as it happens. Seriously this whole episode is genius, one of my all-time favourites.

Easily identifiable by Bart's Junior Campers uniform

[–]sfxguy 2 points3 points ago

Yeah I just came back here through my earlier comment and it was hidden because of the downvotes, what the hell people? Go watch this episode Audioworm it will make everything better ;-)

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I'll field that one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show?

[–]kmart890 97 points98 points ago

I withdraw my question.

Awsome. I want to make out with you cub

[–]jabberworx 2 points3 points ago

Scratchy hit a different part of the rib the second time.

[–]ButtFartMcPoopus 1 point2 points ago

Perfect.

[–]Clovyn 1 point2 points ago

It dawned on me half way through. Beautiful.

they probably just recycle the same background and only animate the foreground. but good eye!

[–]BumbleguppysRevenant 56 points57 points ago

Sometimes, to save money, our animators will re-use the same backgrounds over and over and over again.

[–]Snarky30 23 points24 points ago

When are they going to do a live episode?

[–]Frogurtau 41 points42 points ago

It puts a terrible strain on the animator's wrists

[–]ObedMorton 17 points18 points ago

[–]iwanttogotohell 63 points64 points ago

A wizard did it.

[–]capndetroit 17 points18 points ago

But what about...

[–]mouldygraper[!] 25 points26 points ago

Wizard!

[–]The_Doctor_00[S] 4 points5 points ago

Funny thing, I was thought to be a wizard in my travels in time.

[–]mouldygraper[!] 2 points3 points ago

THIS! D: I'm currently watching Dr. Who. Impeccable timing.

[–]Jamer70 83 points84 points ago

Could be a baby picture of Lisa

[–]The_Doctor_00[S] 36 points37 points ago

Maybe, they do look a like, but her signature item is pearls.

Maggie's is that bow. So I think it's still just a Maggie picture and a mistake. :/

[–]Randompaul 25 points26 points ago

That's just Baby Lisa. Maggie used her hand me downs.

[–]Archwell 2 points3 points ago

It could be Lisa!

[–]totems 1 point2 points ago

I remember in some episode, they are supposed to be in the futura. Lisa is president and Bart is doing nothing. They then show Maggie. As a baby, and then grown up Maggie! That must be the case!

[–]YoshiDan 2 points3 points ago

That is 2 different episodes. The one with lisa as president, maggie is still a baby. But the other one is where lisa is getting married, that is the one with teenage maggie.

[–]bloodbag 3 points4 points ago

Its Maggie junior, they talk about her mom, Maggie senior

[–]YoshiDan 0 points1 point ago

Oh ok. I wasn't very observant when I saw that ep. Also it was like 500 years ago since I last saw it.

[–]stonecutterunderwear 1 point2 points ago

OH MY GOD. You are a genius. I can't believe I never noticed this. I watched the episode's commentary and I guess the commentators didn't notice it either, or they would've pointed it out. Then again, it was only a cutaway flashback scene, it's not like they would've made this mistake in "And Maggie Makes Three".

[–]leujin 0 points1 point ago

Oh God, my world is collapsing around me.

[–]alwaysawkward66 1 point2 points ago

Maybe its Lisa?

[–]mezzizle 0 points1 point ago

That could have been Lisa.
