What's Wrong with This Family? is a The Simpsons Comic Strips story that was first published in 2000.

Synopsis[edit]

Professor Lombardo presents a scene of the Simpson family with 24 errors for the reader to find.

Errors[edit]

  1. Maggie prefers a pacifier to a thumb.
  2. Marge would consider herself naked without her red pearls.
  3. Three hairs on the top of Homer's head instead of two? He wishes! That's almost a comb-over.
  4. Even if Bart would read that book (which he wouldn't!), he wouldn't read it when he could be watching a bad Mexican sitcom on TV.
  5. Those don't look like tofu pork chops on Lisa the vegetarian's plate.
  6. Speaking of plates, the one next to Homer should be empty by now. Pork chops don't last long in his presence.
  7. Bart should only have four fingers on each hand, like all normal people.
  8. Snowball II is O.K., but Snowball I has been dead and buried in the backyard for years.
  9. Grampa prefers old-fashioned bolo ties to them new fangled cloth jobbies.
  10. Patty and Selma have switched earrings. (Duh!)
  11. Bart's tattoo was lasered off in the first episode.
  12. Homer won a Grammy, not a Golden Globe.
  13. If Grampa's teeth are in his mouth, whose are soaking in the glass?
  14. Marge's exquisite painting of a sailboat should be above the couch (or in a fine museum).
  15. The Simpsons don't have cable (well, not legally, anyway).
  16. Santa's Little Helper has never been clipped. So he should have a longer tail.
  17. Homer drank his last can of Billy Beer before the Spinal Tap concert.
  18. The calendar says it's Saturday, but Friday night is pork chop night in the Simpson house!
  19. Barney Gumble is not the mayor of Springfield, for obvious reasons.
  20. And the Springfield Monorail didn't really revitalize as much as it did destroy downtown.
  21. Santa's Little Helper is watching TV wearing Grampa's glasses, which is impossible because they have different prescriptions.
  22. MacGyver is the only TV hero whose shirt Patty and Selma would wear.
  23. The baby's name is Maggie Simpson, not Pebbles Flintstone. Lose the bone in her hair.
  24. The Simpsons' couch should have three cushions instead of two, thus complying with the classic rule of comedy: Three is funny!
