== Goofs ==
* When Nelson Muntz makes fun of Bart at the beginning, one of the shamrocks on his bowtie briefly disappears.
* Lenny is shown to be both at Moe's Tavern and at the parade (pointing out the free beer at the latter event).
* The bottle of Duff Beer that Apu holds has a blue label instead of the usual red one, plus the text is much thinner than it usually is.
* In the crowd scene, Ms. Hoover is missing her glasses.
* The Prohibition is limited to Springfield. Yet, it never seems to occur to anyone that they could easily go to Shelbyville if they wanted to drink. Then again, the scene where Rex Banner debuted implied it may not have been limited to Springfield.
* While Rex is investigating Moe's "pet shop", the patrons at the bar raise their hidden beer glasses to toast the "best pet shop in town" while Rex has his back turned. However, Eddie and Lou were clearly facing the patrons and were looking at their beer glasses in the frame they raised them. Of course, Eddie and Lou more than likely weren't on board with the whole prohibition law to begin with.
* When Moe is putting the bar scenery back up, one of the bottles is not colored in for a frame.
* When the crowd cheers after Rex Banner announces to have succeeded, some of the people's hair in the background flashes yellow for a few frames.
