'''Charles Montgomery "Monty" Burns '''(better known as "'''Mr. Burns'''") is viewed as an antagonist to many, if not all, of the inhabitants of Springfield. He is an elderly, skinny, 114-year-old, who is shown as being cruel, bitter, cynical, heartless, greedy and selfish. Burns runs the [[100 Industrial Way|Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]].

Burns frequently orders his aide, [[Waylon Smithers]] to "release the hounds", so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders, enemies or even invited guests. Mr. Burns is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen; his current net worth has been given as $996 million. He uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants, usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities.
== Biography ==
===1881-1925: Childhood & Early Life===
The Burns family has deep roots in the United States. Burns' date of birth is arguable. He's believed to be born on September 15, 1890, although he himself says he was born in 1881. As a child, Burns lived happily in a northern state with his natural parents, [[Clifford Burns|Clifford]] and [[Daphne Burns]], as one of 11 children, one being the comedian [[George Burns]], and his teddy bear [[Bobo]]. As a child, Burns was so cheery and amiable that his parents called him "Happy."<ref>[[Rosebud]]</ref>

At a young age he left his family to live with a twisted and heartless billionaire (who was actually his grandfather, a former slaveholder named Colonel [[Wainwright Montgomery Burns]]), who owned an "atom mill" in Springfield, where laborers split atoms by hitting anvils with sledgehammers. Burns lived a life of privilege and would amuse himself by injuring hapless immigrant laborers; it appears that Wainwright was directly responsible for turning Charles Montgomery from a pleasant child into a coldhearted man, much like himself.
===1926-1938: Education and First Love===
Charles Montgomery Burns later attended Yale University, where he studied science and business, played on the varsity football team, and was inducted into the Skull and Bones secret society. Burns graduated from Yale in 1932.[citation needed]

In 1938, at Burns' 7-year college reunion, he became romantically involved with the daughter of an old flame. She would later bear his child, [[Larry Burns]], who was given up for adoption and would later enter Mr. Burns' life briefly.<ref>[[Burns, Baby Burns]]</ref>[[File:Wainwrightmontgomeryburns.png|thumb|Burns (right) with his paternal grandfather.]]
===1939-1945: World War II===
Burns served in the [[Flying Hellfish]] during World War II, holding the rank of private after being demoted for his involvement in a romantic scandal and attempting to block a probe from J. Edgar. Burns is proud of the fact that he manufactured shells for the Nazi's, seeing himself as being superior to [[wikipedia:Oskar Schindler|Oskar Schindler]] because "my shells worked, dammit!".[citation needed]

A member of Springfield's [[Flying Hellfish]] battalion, he saw action in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, serving under Sergeant [[Abraham Simpson]]. He was later transferred to the South Pacific with part of his squad. During the closing years of the war, when his platoon was clearing out a German-occupied castle, Mr. Burns came across several valuable portraits. Since they couldn't decide on who they should go to, they decided to enter into a tontine, which Mr. Burns was removed from decades after the war, after being dishonorably discharged when he tried to kill Abe. The paintings were later handed back to a German whose relatives owned them.<ref>[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]</ref>

At the end of World War II he was personally hired by President Harry S Truman to transport a specially-printed trillion-dollar bill to Europe as the United States' contribution to the reconstruction of the continent. As the United States' richest citizen, Burns was thought to be also the most trustworthy. Burns absconded with the bill and kept it in his possession for many years until it was lost to Fidel Castro.<ref>[[The Trouble with Trillions]]</ref>
===1950s-1960s: Bioterrorism===
Burns spent time as a biochemist and bioterrorist before purchasing the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. During the 1960s, Burns operated a biological weapons laboratory until it was destroyed by peace activists - including [[Homer]]'s mother [[Mona Simpson]].
===1970s-Present: The Power Plant===
In the 1970s, Burns bought the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. Burns currently owns the plant, although he has parted with it several times, including when he sold it to German investors, when the bank foreclosed on it and put [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] in charge, when he lost all of his money in a bet with Colonel O'Hara, and when Homer and Bart staged a hostile takeover of it. In each of these instances, Burns regained ownership of the nuclear plant.

After allowing his assisstant to sacrifice himself to stop a potential nuclear meltdown, he secretly raised his son [[Waylon Smithers]] as his own. He is unaware that Smithers is gay and has had a crush on him for years. Their relationship has had its rough spots, as Smithers was one of the prime suspects in the shooting of Mr. Burns in 1995.
==Character==
===Personality===
Mr. Burns embodies a number of stereotypes about Corporate America, as he has an unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power. Burns also embodies the stereotype of a manager by forgetting his employees' names (especially Homer's, despite it appearing that they interact more than Burns does with most of his employees), though this can be attributed to his senility. Burns is also unconcerned for their safety and well-being. His aspirations to apply obsolete technology to everyday life or references to Victorian era people or places provide a common source of humour on the show. Recently, he has become less evil and more eccentric.

Mr. Burns seems to enjoy bossing his assistant, [[Waylon Smithers]], to do everything for him, from getting him dressed to driving him about.
===Health===
Burns has numerous physical ailments and health problems, or more accuratly he has nearly 'every' physical ailment and health problem. Often to the point where he seems to straddle the line between life and death. On prior occasions, Burns may have died. Presently, Burns has a condition known as "Three Stooges Syndrome" where a delicate state of homeostasis is created by the presence in his body of every disease known to man and other newly-discovered diseases unique to him, which, when all trying to invade his body simultaneously, cancel out each other. Mr. Burns took this as being invincible, although the doctor who told him this implied that the slightest breeze could kill him.<ref>This is stated in [[The Mansion Family]]</ref>

Physically weak, he often has great difficulty performing the most basic physical tasks, such as giving a thumbs-up, receiving a hug, crushing a paper cup, or stepping on an insect. He is weak enough to be pushed over by an ant or a high-five, or pushed down by a sponge scrub on his head. Bunting a baseball sends him flying to the backstop. The weight of Toothpaste on his Toothbrush is enough to pull him over.<ref>This is shown in [[The Simpsons Movie]].</ref> He has a hunched back and his vertebral column is visible when he is viewed from the side. His exposure to radiation has given his skin a green glow (though seen in only one episode) and left him infertile. Once a 1000 dollar bill bruised him leaving a reverse imprint of Grover Cleveland on his chest. When Burns was incarcerated at Springfield's penititiary, when he was getting a mug shot, the camera flash was able to slam him against a wall and knock him out.

His organs have grown immensely weak over the years. His heart is black, desiccated, and barely beats or does not beat at all. It is shrunken to the size of a cherry. Burns' blood type is double-O negative<ref>[[Blood Feud]]</ref>. When his finger is pricked, he bleeds dust, and when his arm is poked with a needle, the needle passes through his arm like Meringue as his doctor described it. On one occasion, a chunk of Burns' brain fell out through his ear. Another time, his lungs came out through his mouth and acted like an airbag. On another occasion, he indicated in an off-hand manner that he only has a single lung. If he is not careful, fluid can build up in his hands, causing them to swell to enormous proportions, and his fingers have been shown to flap in the breeze released from a bowling ball dispenser. It has been revealed that if Burns sweats even one drop, he could die of dehydration unless he takes a bath immediately. Burns has also lost body parts due to leprosy (one example is when he lost an entire fingernail in a cup). Both his legs have a crease in them, down the entire length.
====Medical Treatment====
Mr. Burns' medical treatment includes a weekly procedure which includes chiropractics, a painful vocal cord scraping, and an injection of pain-killers; its purpose is to postpone his death for one week. This makes his eyeballs grow to an unnatural size, and he becomes temporarily 'nice'. He also glows green, a result of working in a nuclear plant for ages. This causes Homer to mistake him for an alien in one episode, though no one believes him, thinking him to have been drunk (he drank about ten bottles of a new type of beer, '[[Red Tick Beer]]' made out of beer and dog fleas). At the end of the episode, Lisa tries to prove that Burns is not an alien, pointing a flashlight at him. This reveals him in his 'nice' form leading the townspeople to believe that he is a monster, but before they can kill him, Smithers rushes in and explains that it is really Mr Burns. He also has his brain flushed out with vinegar and his eyes "re-balled". Burns' knees are also sent out to be repaired at a "shop." His dentures replace themselves.<ref>this happens in [[The Springfield Files]]</ref> In the future, Burns may be kept alive by cryonics.

He once broke all his bones (Though this was understandable, as he was knocked down onto the street below his main office, and besides which, he also had his stuffed Polar bear statue fall on top of him due to a fight between Smithers and Homer).

On rare occasions he has displayed great strength and skill, such as when he managed to singlehandly capture Loch Ness monster Nessie (though it was never explained how he did so bar that it swallowed him) and when he rescued his girlfriend Gloria from a burning building (although she wound up carrying him out of the blaze).
====State of Mind====
At times, Burns appears to be completely removed from modern conventions and, sometimes, reality. He continually fails to recognize Homer Simpson or remember his name despite all the major events in Burns' life on the series have revolved around him in some way, similar to Krusty not remembering Bart's name. Burns is also for the most part unaware of the townspeople's general dislike of him.

Mr. Burns uses archaic phrases and antiquated expressions that have either changed meanings or fallen out of common usage in American English, including score (meaning 20), twain (two), post-haste (quickly), petroleum distillate (gasoline), gay (jolly), dean (principal), velocitator and deceleratrix (a car's accelerator and brake), aeromail (post by air), lollygagger (slacker), fourth form (fourth grade), ahoy-hoy (hello), jumping box and picto-tube (television), Autogyro (helicopter), DictaBelt (dictation machine), the New York Nine (New York Yankees), horseless sleigh (snowmobile, although it could just mean that he was trying to be a mysterious character), crackleberries (peanuts), talkie (movies with sound), thrice (three times), and mater (mother). He also answers the telephone in the same way that the man widely credited for the ''Invention'' of the Telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, is purported to have answered it ('Ahoy, Hoy?'). In one episode he also rings Smithers and says "Smithers, come here, I want you.", a take on what are reputedly the first words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on his telephone ("Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you").

He also displays mannerisms which are considered outdated, such as practicing phrenology, writing with a quill pen, driving a [[1936 Stutz Bearcat]] while wearing a Edwardian motorist's outfit which includes hat, driving gloves and goggles, carrying a mace for self defense (though the weapon actually shown was a flail), driving without regard to traffic laws in the manner of early 20th century motorists, and using an antique view camera to take photographs.

Burns appears unaware of 20th century political and social developments, such as Fidel Castro replacing Fulgencio Batista as the President of Cuba, Siam changing its name to Thailand, the Belgian Congo changing its name to the Congo-Kinshasa, Prussia being absorbed into the German Empire, India gaining its independence from the British Empire, New Mexico entering the United States, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Idlewild Airport changing its name to JFK Airport, the disbanding of the Negro Leagues, the desegregation of the Major Leagues, Joe DiMaggio no longer being a rookie, the extinction of the dodo, the demolition of the Polo Grounds, the ceasing of publication of Collier's Weekly, the demise of the DuMont Television Network, believing tires need to be revulcanized, confusing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ramones The Ramones] with The Rolling Stones ("have the Rolling Stones killed"), thinking cars are still operated by levers, believing mail may still be delivered by autogyro (once asking for a package to be delivered by autogyro to the Prussian Embassy in Siam) and the occurrence of the 1939 World's Fair.

Mr. Burns' investment portfolio includes long-defunct shares in "Confederated Slaveholdings, Transatlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powder, U.S. Hay", and an "up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company".

Burns commonly refers to deceased persons as if they were alive, including Al Jolson, Tallulah Bankhead, Louise Brooks, Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, and Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown.

He also believes some social institutions and inventions are novel or nonexistent, such as musicals about "the common cat" and "the King of Siam", the Packard automobile, the Fire Department, ice cream (or "iced cream"), vending machines, recycling, strip clubs, the DuMont, the word "into", silent films like the 1929 ''Lulu'', and the synonymity of ketchup and catsup. While trying to chat up a young woman, Burns offers to play the clavichord and show stereopticon images of the Crimean War.

===Career===
At the nuclear plant, Burns spends most of time in his office, monitoring his workers via closed circuit cameras. In his office he keeps a team of ten high-priced lawyers, a scale model of Springfield, a special microbe-resistant chamber, a two-seat escape pod, and the "League of Evil" - a sinister cabal whose members are long deceased but whose skeletons remain. The boobytraps in Burns' office include cricket poison, a secret trapdoor (though he sometimes forgets where it is), a catapult that fires 100 gram weights, and a ceiling-mounted suction tube which he can use to transport dissident workers to Morocco. He is also a loan officer at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Employee's Credit Union.<ref>This happens in [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]</ref>

Kent Brockman also credits Burns with having stolen Christmas from 1981 to 1985.

He was once forced to work in a Sweatshop, along with other billionaires such as [[Artie Ziff]], [[Aristotle Amadopolis]] and [[Rich Texan]].

He also claims to have participated in the Boston Tea Party.

Burns has also owned or co-owned a number of business ventures in Springfield, including the [[Monty Burns Casino]] (later demolished)<ref>[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)]]</ref>, Li'l Lisa" recycling (an ocean slurry manufacturing plant)<ref>[[The Old Man and the Lisa]]</ref>, and [[Burns Slant Drilling Co.]] <ref>. Burns owned this in [[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]</ref>, Burns Media, the electric company, the water works and even a hotel on Baltic Avenue.

Burns has used his power and wealth to blackmail and bribe various members of Springfield, including [[Mayor Quimby]], as well as safety inspectors. He once attempted to block out the sun to force Springfield residents to increase their use of electricity produced by the Nuclear Plant and was subsequently shot by [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]];. The town routinely is subject to Burns' abuse, such as Burns' stealing of Christmas from 1981 to 1985 and there is a general dislike of him throughout the town.

In ''The Simpsons: Hit & Run, ''it is implied that he had a business partner that he killed. He stated this in level 7, mission 4, when Homer goes to his office, Mr. Burns mistakes him for the ghost of his former partner, and is relieved when Homer tells him that it is just him.

===Residence===
''See Also :[[1000 Mammon Street]]
Burns resides in a vast, ornate mansion on an immense estate called ''[[Burns Manor]]'', located at 1000 Mammon Lane, on the corner of Croesus and Mammon streets in the '[[Springfield Heights]]' district. It is protected by a high wall, an electrified fence and a pack of vicious attack dogs known as "The Hounds", one of whom is named Winston. He usually releases the whole lot of hounds towards guests, but if the guest manages to make Mr. Burns feel extremely gratified (such as when Homer interviewed him for an opium war), he will reduce the hounds released to the extent of only one hound actually being employed. In addition he has at least one 30+ yr old dog named Crippler, who is so old he has trouble walking. Crippler is known for bagging hippies - something they don't find too groovy at all. At times he has employed for protecting a force of ''Wizard of Oz'' - style guards, a personal paramilitary force, a riot police squad and a robotic Richard Simmons.

The inside of the mansion includes a room containing a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters, a bottomless pit, a human chess board, the largest television in the free world, a 'Hall of Patriots' commemorating his ancestors, a laboratory, a botanical garden of vultures bearing his likeness, a safe containing a Beefeater guard and a theater that is showing round-the-clock which plays regardless whether there is an audience or not. There also is a TV studio and a CCTV room.

The mansion is also home to many rare historical artifacts including the only existing nude photo of Mark Twain, the suit Charlie Chaplin was buried in, King Arthur's mythical sword Excalibur, and a rare first draft of the Constitution with the word "suckers" in it.
===Relationships===
Burns has been engaged at least three times: a woman named Gertrude who died of loneliness and rabies, to [[Jacqueline Bouvier]], and to a policewoman named [[Gloria]]. He once had an affair with Countess von Zeppelin.

What is not widely known is that Charles Montgomery Burns and [[Homer Simpson]] are related by marriage (Which makes his making Bart his heir in one episode extremely ironic, as Bart would be related to Mr. Burns anyways). According to a family tree:

:Charles Montgomery Burns was born to [[Clifford Burns]] and Daphne Charle (hence the name ''Charles''),
:[[Clifford Burns]] was born to [[Wainwright Montgomery Burns]] and [[Evelyn Graycomb]]. 
:[[Evelyn Graycomb]] was born to [[Otto Graycomb]] and Lolly Dubois. 
:Lolly Dubois was born to Lance Dubois and [[Clarice Stemple]]. 
:[[Clarice Stemple]] is the sister of [[Gaylord Stemple]]. 
:[[Gaylord Stemple]] married [[Trixie Simpson]]. 
:[[Trixie Simpson]] is the Granddaughter of [[Sven Simpson]]. 
:[[Sven Simpson]] is the great, great, great, great, great Grandfather of [[Homer Simpson]].

Mr. Burns' great-great-grandmother's sister-in-law's 4th great-grandson is Homer Simpson.

Mr. Burns had a strained relationship with his own mother, whom he's apparently tried to kill at least once, who had an affair with President Taft and lives in her 120's.He is Lisa's opposite, with no conscience or care for the environment in many episodes, and Lisa often opposes him. Occasionally, she agrees to work with him, but with great reluctance.

When he was asked the cause of his parents' deaths, he replied: "Got in my way" <ref>[[The Mansion Family]]</ref>. His mother was seen at least once <ref>[[Homer the Smithers]]</ref>.
===Organizations===
Mr. Burns is a member of various organizations. In his younger years, while a student at Yale University, he was a member of Skull and Bones. During World War II, Burns became a member of the Flying Hellfish squad, a group of soldiers who entered into a tontine regarding the ownership of German artwork. Burns was a member of the [[Stonecutters]] until it disbanded, at which time he joined the secret society that succeeded it: The Ancient Mystic Order of No-Homers. (One source of dislike of Burns for the "Stonecutters' is that despite his wealth and greed, he is outranked by Lenny.). He is currently the head of the [[Springfield Republican Party]] and once headed a short lived religion. He is also a member of the "Excluders Club", the Springfield Golf and Country Club, and the National Rifle Association. He holds a chair (a demonic throne with snarling dogs chained to it) at [[Springfield University]] and controls an anti-democratic paramilitary force in Latin America.

Burns once attended the annual Billionaire's Retreat, where he won the Austin Celtics basketball team from the Rich Texan in a poker game. After severely mismanaging the team, he lost nearly half his net worth.  At the following year's retreat,  it was discovered he was no longer a billionaire.  He was ejected from the camp, and thrown over a wall into the slack-jawed millionaire's camp <ref>The Burns and the Bees</ref>. 

He once tried to run for Governor - until [[Marge Simpson]] forever ruined his chances with a [[Blinky|three-eyed fish]]. At the end he echoes Kane by crying out his name in rage—and vows for the rest of his life to make [[Homer Simpson]]'s life miserable.<ref>This happens in [[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]</ref>

=== The Future ===
At the age of 119, Mr. Burns is cryogenically frozen. Scientists work to find a cure for 17 stab wounds to the back so that he can be thawed out and cured. He was cured in time to attend [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa Simpson's]] wedding. He isn't completely thawed, and when he tries to sit down, he snaps in half, which is also cured. At age 122, he is a shut-in who sponsors a Yale scholarship as punishment for stealing Christmas. He keeps diamonds to have them changed into Earth's most precious mineral of the age: coal. His home is also guarded by a large group of unicorn-clam creatures (uni-clams). At age 1,104, he is a robot and earth is ruled by apes. He finds his teddy bear [[Bobo]], which he loses and finds every century. A long time later, he dies and goes to Dog Heaven, which was caused by offering to give the [[First Church of Springfield|church]] back to [[Reverend Lovejoy]] in exchange for admittance into [[Heaven]]. He was tricked and got admittance into Dog Heaven.

== Behind the Scenes ==
=== Creation ===
Burns's character, appearance, and mannerisms are based on several different people. The show's creator [[Matt Groening]] principally based Burns on Fredrik Olsen, a reclusive Norwegian shipping magnate and the owner of Timex. Drawing further inspiration from oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, David Rockefeller and fictional character Henry Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, Groening made Burns the "embodiment of corporate greed". Animator [[David Silverman]] parodied Burns's appearance on Fox founder Barry Diller, and modeled his body on a praying mantis. The idea of Burns reading employee names off cards in "There's No Disgrace Like Home" came from an article about Ronald Reagan that writer [[Al Jean]] had read. In some episodes, parallels have been drawn between Burns and moguls such as Howard Hughes and, more frequently, fictional character Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane. Writer George Meyer lifted Burns's "Excellent!" hand gesture from his former Saturday Night Live colleague Jim Downey.

Matt Groening got Burns's middle name from a Montgomery Ward department store in Portland, Oregon's Northwest Industrial district and his surname from Burnside Street, a main thoroughfare in Portland. Burns's first name being Charles is a reference to Charles Foster Kane. In the script for "[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]", Al Jean and [[Mike Reiss]] referred to him as "Mr. Meanie".

In the second season, the writers started to enjoy writing about Smithers and Burns's relationship, and they often pitched episodes with them as the focus, but many never came to fruition.

=== Voice ===
Burns was originally voiced by actor Christopher Collins in the episode "[[Homer's Odyssey]]". He was soon replaced by Harry Shearer, who has voiced the character ever since. He modeled the voice on Lionel Barrymore and Ronald Reagan. Shearer is also the voice of Smithers and is able to perform dialogue between the two characters in one take. Shearer said that Burns is the most difficult character for him to voice because it is rough on his vocal cords and he often needs to drink tea and honey to soothe his voice. He describes Burns as his favorite character, saying he "like[s] Mr. Burns because he is pure evil. A lot of evil people make the mistake of diluting it. Never adulterate your evil."

=== Age ===
Mr. Burns' age has fluctuated during the course of the show, being explicitly stated he was 81 in ''[[Simpson and Delilah]]'' and as old as 104 in ''[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]'', ''[[Homer the Smithers]]'' and ''[[A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love]]''. In the episode ''[[Fraudcast News]]'', Burns claims that he was born in 1881, making him 123 years old (when the episode aired in 2004). He has been referred to as "Springfield's oldest resident" with a Social Security number of 000-00-0002 (cursing [[Franklin Roosevelt]] for having 0001).

Frequent allusions to Mr. Burns' age place his date of birth in the late 19th century, which would make him at the least more than 100 years old. He says he had a driver's license that expired in 1909, graduated from Yale University in 1914, was depicted in a 19th century woodcut terrorizing children (which, surprisingly, features him as an old man). Mr. Burns has also claimed that he has survived through 12 economic recessions and 8 panics

Other references to Mr. Burns' age place him at thousands of years old. His ATM password, which is the same as his age, is four digits long (although it is possible the first and/or second digits are 0). Mr. Burns' birthplace has also been named as Pangaea.<ref>[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]</ref> Also, in the one time appearance of his "league of evil", a group of evil doers from many eras of history, many of the members are quite ancient historically. Since the assumption can be made that Burns must have known all of them before they died (although by the time of that episode they had all long since died), this pushes his age back at least another 500 years, if not much more. He also from time to time takes up arms against someone he percieves as his enemy, the joke being his feebleness and the archaic nature of his chosen weapons (i.e, a morning star in his limousine, a blunderbuss, dueling pistols, etc). Familiarity with the use of these weapons dates him considerably prior to his birth, especially the morning star, since this hasnt been a widely used weapon since the late medieval era.

In an Issue of [[Simpsons Comics]], Mr Smithers states Mr Burns is 118 years old

Burns's wine cellar also has trophy heads of a T-Rex, a Pteranodon, a Triceratops, a Stegosaurus and an unidentified sauropod. By chance these exact species were the beast modes of the G1 Dinobots (Grimlock, Swoop, Slag, Snarl and Sludge).

However, because his mother, who is currently alive, is in her 120s, Burns would have to be younger.

Burns' age provides the writers a character with which they can express dated humor and references to popular culture before the 1950s.

Regardless of his current age, relative to the course of the show, it has been shown (in the episode in which he attempts to recover his lost teddy bear, bobo) that burns will continue living some billions of years into the future, albiet in the form of a partial android.

'''Bartholomew Jojo "Bart" Simpson''' is the eldest child of [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] and [[Marge Simpson]], and the brother of [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson]]. He is mischievous and rebellious, with a disrespect for authority and a sharp tongue.
== Biography ==
Bart is a self-proclaimed underachiever who begins each show in detention as part of the opening sequence. His birthday is on April 1 (according to ''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album|Uncensored Family Album]]'') of 1982, and was conceived on May 21st, 1981<ref>According to I Married Marge, Homer and Marge conceived Bart after going to see Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and having sex on a golf course. The long line of people going to see Star Wars, as well as their reactions to Homer giving away that Vader is Luke's father, suggested that this was around opening day.</ref>. He is easily distracted (even, strangely enough, by algebraic equations). His penchant for shocking people began before he was born: Bart "mooned" [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] while he performed a sonogram on Marge, and moments after being born he set fire to Homer's tie. His Blood Type is the very rare Double O Negative (OO-) <ref>[[Blood Feud]]</ref>; only he and [[Mr. Burns]] are known to have it.

Bart's interests include [[Krusty the Clown]] (he is "Krusty Buddy" number 16302), [[skateboarding]], reading comic books (especially ''[[Radioactive Man]]''), watching TV (especially the Krusty The Clown Show and [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]), terrorizing [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], playing video games, helping Lisa solve various problems (e.g. reuniting Krusty with his [[Hyman Krustofski|estranged father]]), and pulling off various pranks (such as mooning unsuspecting people and prank calling [[Moe Szyslak]] at his [[Moe's Tavern|tavern]]). Bart also sprays graffiti under the alias 'El Barto', and regularly frequents the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] (for bubblegum and Squishees) and [[The Android's Dungeon]].

Bart hinted that his favorite movies are ''Jaws'' and the ''Star Wars'' trilogy <ref>[[Bart the General]]</ref>. His best friend is [[Milhouse Van Houten]].

Bart is a polyglot and can speak several language's with varying degree's of fluency. Though he has not demonstrated the ability since his trip to France as an exchange student, he speaks near-perfect French (as a result of drinking wine laced with antifreeze) <ref>[[The Crepes of Wrath]]</ref> . He also learned Spanish in a matter of hours in preparation for the family's trip to Brazil <ref>[[Blame It on Lisa]]</ref>. Upon learning that Brazilians speak Portuguese and not Spanish, Homer orders his son to forget what he learned, prompting Bart to strike himself over the head until he forgot the language. Bart also speaks Japanese (which he also learned in a couple of hours in prison along with Homer, and is also shown speaking Japanese <ref> [[A Star is Burns]]</ref>, Cantonese and Latin. His advanced linguistic skills may be inherited from Homer, who also speaks advanced languages, including penguin. He was also shown to be a skilled drummer <ref>[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]]</ref>. He is a player in the [[Mighty Pigs]] Peewee Hockey League Team.

Bart can also drive vehicles with surprising skill for his age. He has his own driving license, given to him after saving Springfield from a fire <ref>[[Little Big Girl]]</ref>, although he has been seen driving before with a fake license at times <ref>[[Bart on the Road]]</ref>. He still possesses it, using it to great effect when he stole [[Principal Skinner]]'s car to get to [[Jimbo]]'s house. <ref>[[24 minutes]]</ref>

He is the most misunderstood Simpson, constantly frustrated by the narrow-minded people of [[Springfield]], who judge him merely by his thoughts and actions. At heart, he is just a good kid with a few bad ideas (and one or two that are still being reviewed by the Springfield District Attorney) - Basically, Bart is no different from any ordinary 4th grader. When Bart is about to do something mischievous, he does an evil chuckle.

Bart is also a skilled chef. He cooked a three course meal for his parents and made a dessert.

When he was made Hall Monitor, he also had a great degree of skill in enforcing the law and rules.<ref>''[[Separate Vocations]]''</ref> This trait was later exemplified when he, in a similar fashion to a bouncer, removed Homer Simpson from the premises of the La Maison Derrière after he continuously heckled Marge's ventriloquist performance. <ref>''[[Bart After Dark]]''</ref>

=== Behaviour ===
Bart is considerably motivated in disrupting the routine at [[Springfield Elementary College|Springfield Elementary]], and his pranks are often elaborately complex, while his actions and speech frequently show considerable mental agility, street-smarts, and understanding. When Bart became a hall monitor for Springfield Elementary, his grades went up, showing that he only struggles because he does not pay any attention, not because he is dumb <ref>[[Separate Vocations]]</ref>. Later, it is revealed that Bart suffers from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder Attention Deficit Disorder]<ref>[[Brother's Little Helper]]</ref><ref>Hinted at in [[Lisa's Substitute]]. '''Homer:''' I always knew you had personality. The doctor said it was hyperactivity, but I knew better!</ref>. He turns out to be musically gifted by becoming an excellent drummer.
On the other hand, Bart often seems to have trouble understanding even the simplest concepts, such as the word "irony", what the equator is and that the logo on his globe ("Rand McNally") is not actually a country.

Labeled an "underachiever" by authority figures, Bart rides an academic rollercoaster, his grades, running the Loop-the-Loop from "F" to "D-," and back again. But he can be ingenious when the chips are down—as long as his ingenuity is never applied to anything school-related. He even learned portions of the Talmud to help reunite his idol, [[Krusty the Clown]], with Krusty's father, Rabbi [[Hyman Krustofski]].

Although he gets into endless trouble and is sometimes shallow and selfish, Bart also exhibits many qualities of high integrity. He has, on a few occasions, helped the love life of [[Seymour Skinner|his school Principal]] and [[Edna Krabappel|his teacher]], despite the fact he often terrorizes them, and he often befriends outcasts like [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]]. One great example of his quasi sense of honor is when Bart stands up for [[Ralph Wiggum]] at the cost of peer popularity <ref>[[This Little Wiggy]]</ref>. He was once sent to a juvenile detention center when he played a serious prank involving faux wedding gifts and a fake wedding. <ref>[[The Wandering Juvie]]</ref> He also has legitimate guilt whenever he got either Krabappel or Principal Skinner fired, especially if it was not his intention to do so, like in the former case where he and his classmates plan on getting her laid back by spiking her drink (due to his experience with Homer whenever he's drunk) backfired when she ended up making things dangerous for herself and others and got herself fired,<ref>''Bart gets a <nowiki>'</nowiki>Z<nowiki>'</nowiki>''</ref> and the latter case where his dog ended up in the ventilation shafts and got trapped along with Willie when he intended to use Santa's Little Helper for show and tell.<ref>''Sweet Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song''</ref>

=== Alter Egos & Aliases ===
Bart sprays graffiti around Springfield using the name "El Barto", and his superhero alter-ego is [[Bartman]]. He called himself The Cupcake Kid when Homer became Pie-Man.

== Relationships ==
=== Family ===

Due to Bart's mischievousness and Homer's often uncaring and incompetent behavior, the two have a turbulent relationship. Bart will often address Homer by his given name instead of "Dad", while Homer in turn often refers to him as "the boy". Whenever [[Homer]] finds out that Bart has said or done something stupid or bad, he yells "Why you little–!" (often followed by throttling him) or simply "BART!". Homer and Bart's relationship reaches a breaking point following Homer's pollution of Lake Springfield (causing Springfield to be sealed under a giant dome by the EPA), with Bart even going so far as saying that he wishes Flanders was his father. Nevertheless, the two really do love each other deep down <ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>. [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], who calls Bart her "special little guy", is much more caring, understanding and nurturing than Homer, but she also refers to Bart as "a handful" and is often embarrassed by his antics.

Bart shares a sibling rivalry with his younger sister, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], but does nothing about youngest sister [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] (due to her infant state). While Bart has often hurt Lisa out of jealousy, and even fought her physically, they are very close - he cares for her as deeply as she does for him, and has always apologized for going too far. He also believes Lisa to be his superior when it comes to solving problems, and frequently goes to her for advice. He is often protective of her when she is threatened or insulted by others, though he frequently insults her himself. Both siblings formed a dynamic crime-solving duo during many of their encounters with [[Sideshow Bob]], Bart's nemesis. Bart is also 2 years and 38 days older than Lisa <ref>[[My Sister, My Sitter]]</ref>. At one time, he enters a series of robot battles with his robot: Chief Knock-a-Homer(which is Homer as the robot hoping to gain Bart's trust), and tries to cheer up Lisa when Snowball II dies. <ref>[[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot]]</ref>

===Friends===
Bart's best friend is [[Milhouse Van Houten]].

===Romance===
While he believes in "cooties", Bart has had numerous relationships and crushes on a number of girls in town, despite that most of them had ended in breaking up. Nonetheless, he had shown affection for [[Terri]], twin sister of [[Sherri]], [[Laura Powers]], a teenager whom Bart had a crush on, [[Greta Wolfcastle]], the daughter of [[Rainier Wolfcastle]], [[Jessica Lovejoy]], the daughter of [[Reverend Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]], an unnamed cousin of Sherri and Terri, who has a crush on him, [[Jenny]], who Bart met at the Springfield Retirement Center, and [[Darcy]], a teenager from North Haverbrook.
[[File:Sideshowbob8.gif|thumb|right|Sideshow Bob and Bart]]
=== The bullies ===

Bart's schoolyard nemesis is [[Nelson Muntz]]. His other nemesis' are Nelson's cronies, [[Jimbo Jones]], [[Kearney Zzyzwicz]], [[Dolph Starbeam]], and [[The Weasels]]. Bart repeatedly tries to impress them, but still generally ends up on the receiving end of their abuse. In more recent episodes, however, Nelson has been seen in Bart's group of friends alongside Milhouse and Ralph.

=== Sideshow Bob ===
Bart (sometimes aided by Lisa) has foiled many of [[Sideshow Bob]]'s evil schemes, which has lead to him becoming Bart's nemesis. Bob has a tattoo saying "Die Bart Die" on his chest, and one of Bart being decapitated on his back. Many of these schemes, as a central point or as a bonus, involved killing Bart - However, when Sideshow Bob finally got the chance to kill him, he found he is "accustomed to [Bart's] face" and cannot do it <ref>[[The Great Louse Detective]]</ref>. He left the country soon after, but after the Simpsons family exposed his nefarious past, he returned to his old ways <ref>[[The Italian Bob]]</ref>.

=== Appearance ===
[[File:Bart simpsons natural red hair.PNG|thumb|125px|Bart's natural red hair]]
He has yellow / blond spiky hair (revealed to actually be naturally red, but it changes to yellow when he's out in the sun). He wears a red short-sleeved shirt, blue short pants, and blue-white shoes. He would sometimes wear his "lucky" red baseball cap and carry around his skateboard or a slingshot.

=== Future ===
As with other characters, his future follows no defined and logical pattern and simply changes to suit the episode. At the age of 18, Bart is a high school senior at [[Springfield High School]]. He styles his hair and wears an earring. He speaks three languages, apparently one being armpit noises, and one is hinted to be French. He pursues a relationship with a girl named [[Jenda]] who denies his proposal. As a result, Bart pursues a career at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]: Whether he kept the job is not mentioned.
At the age of 25, he is a building demolisher and vehicle crusher, and also attends law school. He is more kind in general, as opposed to his modern-day disposition. At age 32, he is taken to the hospital after eating too many fish logs. He seems to have lost his building demolishing company and works at a construction site. He got the "Mother" tattoo which Marge [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire|prevented him from getting]], as well as a tattoo of [[Krusty the Clown]] on his chest. He receives a digestive tract transplant from [[Uter Zorker]] which saves his life.
At age 40, he is a poor guitarist and alcoholic that dropped out of the DeVry Institute. He lives in a beach house alongside Ralph, the only other member of Bart's band. He is addicted to a form of drug, likely marijuana.
At age 50, Bart appears to have straightened up and graduated law school, as he is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. At the age of 70, he lives at the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]] with [[Milhouse]]. At the age of 83, he finds true love, and dies one minute later.

== Behind the Scenes ==
=== Creation ===
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would force him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, substituting "Bart" for his own name, as he decided it would have been too obvious for him to have named the character Matt. Bart then made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]". The name "Bart" is an anagram of the word "brat". Groening conceived Bart as an extreme version of the typical misbehaving child character, merging all of the negative traits of characters such as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn into one person. Groening's older brother Mark provided most of the inspiration for Bart. Groening has also said that he found the premise of ''Dennis the Menace'' disappointing and was inspired to create a character who was actually a menace.

=== Voice & Catchphrases ===
[[Nancy Cartwright]] originally auditioned for the role of Lisa, but soon thought that her voice would be better suited voicing Bart. Matt Groening let her try out for the part, and upon hearing her read, gave her the job on the spot.
Bart's catchphrase "Eat My Shorts" was an ad-lib by Cartwright in one of the original table readings, harking back to an incident when she was at college. His other catchphrases included "¡Ay, caramba!" and "Don't have a cow man!" - the former being his first words after seeing Homer and Marge 'enjoying themselves' in bed - but these dropped out of use as the series progressed (as mentioned in "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]", when Bart complains that Lisa stole his line). Whenever he introduces himself, he often says, "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?"

=== Reception ===
In 1998, ''Time'' magazine selected Bart as 46th of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century — the only fictional character to make the list. He had previously appeared on the cover the December 31, 1990 edition. Both Bart and Lisa ranked #11 in ''TV Guide's'' "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time".

During the show's early years, Bart was rebellious and frequently escaped without punishment, which led some parents' groups and conservative spokespeople to believe he provided a poor role model for children. This prompted [[George H. W. Bush]] to rally, "We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family. To make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons.", to which Bart replied with "Hey, we're just like the Waltons. We're praying for an end to the Depression, too."

Bart's catchphrases, "¡Ay, caramba!", "Don't have a cow, man!" and "Eat my shorts!" were featured on t-shirts in the early days of the show's run. The latter two phrases were rarely actually spoken on the show itself until after they became popular through merchandise, and the use of many of these catchphrases has declined in recent seasons. The use of catchphrase-based humor was mocked in the episode "[[Bart Gets Famous]]" in which Bart gets famous on the Krusty show for saying the line "I didn't do it."

In his book ''Planet Simpson'', Chris Turner describes Bart as a nihilist. Bart's character traits of rebelliousness and disrespect for authority have been likened to that of America's founding fathers, rendering him an updated version of American icons Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, rolled into one.

Bart is the most depicted ''Simpsons'' character on various memorabilia such as toys, books, comics, T-shirts, car decals, and even graffiti art. Bart, and other Simpsons characters, appeared in numerous commercials for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfinger Nestlé's Butterfinger] candy bars from 1990–2001, with the slogan ''"Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!"''. This association was parodied in [[Barting Over|an episode]] when he discovered that he was in a TV commercial when he was a baby; Bart says that he doesn't remember being in a commercial, then holds up a Butterfinger and eats it. Bart briefly appears in the entrance video used by World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Shawn Michaels Bart has appeared in several other shows. He is featured in the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_park South Park]'' episode "Cartoon Wars Part II". He is not referred to by name, nor do any of the characters react to him as if he were a well known personality, but the character specifically mentions the events of ''[[The Telltale Head]]'' when Cartman asks him to name the "most badass thing" he has done.

==About me==
I came here to improve the wiki for the biggest cartoon in history!
The episode pages were (and some still are) a mess, so I implemented the Tab system from Family Guy Wiki and set to work creating a consistant structure for the episodes, a lone gun whittling down the seasons. Now i'm project leader of [[WikiSimpsons:Project_Episodes|Project Episodes]]!

'''Bartholomew Jojo "Bart" Simpson''' is the eldest child of [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] and [[Marge Simpson]], and the brother of [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson]]. He is mischievous and rebellious, with a disrespect for authority and a sharp tongue.
== Appearance ==
[[File:Bart simpsons natural red hair.PNG|thumb|125px|Bart's natural red hair]]
He has yellow / blonde spikey hair (revealed to actually be naturally red, but it changes to yellow when he's out in the sun). He wears a red short-sleeved shirt, blue short pants, and blue-white shoes. He would sometimes wear his "lucky" red baseball cap and carry around his skateboard or a slingshot.

== Personality ==
Bart is a self-proclaimed underachiever who begins each show in detention as part of the opening sequence. His birthday is on April 1 (according to ''[[The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album|Uncensored Family Album]]'') of 1982, and was conceived on May 21st, 1981<ref>According to I Married Marge, Homer and Marge conceived Bart after going to see Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and having sex on a golf course. The long line of people going to see Star Wars, as well as their reactions to Homer giving away that Vader is Luke's father, suggested that this was around opening day.</ref>. He is easily distracted (even, strangely enough, by algebraic equations). His penchant for shocking people began before he was born: Bart "mooned" [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] while he performed a sonogram on Marge, and moments after being born he set fire to Homer's tie.

Bart's interests include [[Krusty the Clown]] (he is "Krusty Buddy" number 16302), [[skateboarding]], reading comic books (especially ''[[Radioactive Man]]''), watching TV (especially the Krusty The Clown Show and [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]), terrorizing [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], playing video games, helping Lisa solve various problems (e.g. reuniting Krusty with his [[Hyman Krustofski|estranged father]]), and pulling off various pranks (such as mooning unsuspecting people and prank calling [[Moe Szyslak]] at his [[Moe's Tavern|tavern]]). Bart also sprays graffiti under the alias 'El Barto', and regularly frequents the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] (for bubblegum and Squishees) and [[The Android's Dungeon]].

Bart can also drive, having his own driving license, given to him after saving Springfield from a fire <ref>[[Little Big Girl]]</ref>, although he has been seen driving before with a fake license at times <ref>[[Bart on the Road]]</ref>. He still possesses it, using it to great effect when he stole [[Principal Skinner]]'s car to get to [[Jimbo]]'s house. <ref>[[24 minutes]]</ref> He is a player in the [[Mighty Pigs]] Peewee Hockey League Team.

Bart hinted that his favorite movies are ''Jaws'' and the ''Star Wars'' trilogy <ref>[[Bart the General]]</ref>. His best friend is [[Milhouse Van Houten]].

Bart is a polyglot and can speak several language's with varying degree's of fluency. Though he has not demonstrated the ability since his trip to France as an exchange student, he speaks near-perfect French (as a result of drinking wine laced with antifreeze) <ref>[[The Crepes of Wrath]]</ref> . He also learned Spanish in a matter of hours in preparation for the family's trip to Brazil <ref>[[Blame It on Lisa]]</ref>. Upon learning that Brazilians speak Portuguese and not Spanish, Homer orders his son to forget what he learned, prompting Bart to strike himself over the head until he forgot the language. Bart also speaks Japanese (which he also learned in a couple of hours in prison along with Homer, and is also shown speaking Japanese <ref> [[A Star is Burns]]</ref>, Cantonese and Latin. His advanced linguistic skills may be inherited from Homer, who also speaks advanced languages, including penguin. He seems to be able to drive vehicles with surprising skill for his age. He was also shown to be a skilled drummer <ref>[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]]</ref>.

He is the most misunderstood Simpson, constantly frustrated by the narrow-minded people of [[Springfield]], who judge him merely by his thoughts and actions. At heart, he is just a good kid with a few bad ideas (and one or two that are still being reviewed by the Springfield District Attorney) - Basically, Bart is no different from any ordinary 4th grader. When Bart is about to do something mischievous, he does an evil chuckle.

Bart is also a skilled chef. He cooked a three course meal for his parents and made a dessert.

When he was made Hall Monitor, he also had a great degree of skill in enforcing the law and rules.<ref>''[[Separate Vocations]]''</ref> This trait was later exemplified when he, in a similar fashion to a bouncer, removed Homer Simpson from the premises of the La Maison Derrière after he continuously heckled Marge's ventriloquist performance. <ref>''[[Bart After Dark]]''</ref>

=== Behaviour ===
Bart is considerably motivated in disrupting the routine at [[Springfield Elementary College|Springfield Elementary]], and his pranks are often elaborately complex, while his actions and speech frequently show considerable mental agility, street-smarts, and understanding. When Bart became a hall monitor for Springfield Elementary, his grades went up, showing that he only struggles because he does not pay any attention, not because he is dumb <ref>[[Separate Vocations]]</ref>. Later, it is revealed that Bart suffers from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder Attention Deficit Disorder]<ref>[[Brother's Little Helper]]</ref><ref>Hinted at in [[Lisa's Substitute]]. '''Homer:''' I always knew you had personality. The doctor said it was hyperactivity, but I knew better!</ref>. He turns out to be musically gifted by becoming an excellent drummer.
On the other hand, Bart often seems to have trouble understanding even the simplest concepts, such as the word "irony", what the equator is and that the logo on his globe ("Rand McNally") is not actually a country.

Labeled an "underachiever" by authority figures, Bart rides an academic rollercoaster, his grades, running the Loop-the-Loop from "F" to "D-," and back again. But he can be ingenious when the chips are down—as long as his ingenuity is never applied to anything school-related. He even learned portions of the Talmud to help reunite his idol, [[Krusty the Clown]], with Krusty's father, Rabbi [[Hyman Krustofski]].

Although he gets into endless trouble and is sometimes shallow and selfish, Bart also exhibits many qualities of high integrity. He has, on a few occasions, helped the love life of [[Seymour Skinner|his school Principal]] and [[Edna Krabappel|his teacher]], despite the fact he often terrorizes them, and he often befriends outcasts like [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]]. One great example of his quasi sense of honor is when Bart stands up for [[Ralph Wiggum]] at the cost of peer popularity <ref>[[This Little Wiggy]]</ref>. He was once sent to a juvenile detention center when he played a serious prank involving faux wedding gifts and a fake wedding. <ref>[[The Wandering Juvie]]</ref> He also has legitimate guilt whenever he got either Krabappel or Principal Skinner fired, especially if it was not his intention to do so, like in the former case where he and his classmates plan on getting her laid back by spiking her drink (due to his experience with Homer whenever he's drunk) backfired when she ended up making things dangerous for herself and others and got herself fired,<ref>''Bart gets a <nowiki>'</nowiki>Z<nowiki>'</nowiki>''</ref> and the latter case where his dog ended up in the ventilation shafts and got trapped along with Willie when he intended to use Santa's Little Helper for show and tell.<ref>''Sweet Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song''</ref>

=== Alter Egos & Aliases ===
Bart sprays graffiti around Springfield using the name "El Barto", and his superhero alter-ego is [[Bartman]]. He called himself The Cupcake Kid when Homer became Pie-Man.

== Relationships ==
=== Family ===

Due to Bart's mischievousness and Homer's often uncaring and incompetent behavior, the two have a turbulent relationship. Bart will often address Homer by his given name instead of "Dad", while Homer in turn often refers to him as "the boy". Whenever [[Homer]] finds out that Bart has said or done something stupid or bad, he yells "Why you little–!" (often followed by throttling him) or simply "BART!". Homer and Bart's relationship reaches a breaking point following Homer's pollution of Lake Springfield (causing Springfield to be sealed under a giant dome by the EPA), with Bart even going so far as saying that he wishes Flanders was his father. Nevertheless, the two really do love each other deep down <ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>. [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], who calls Bart her "special little guy", is much more caring, understanding and nurturing than Homer, but she also refers to Bart as "a handful" and is often embarrassed by his antics.

Bart shares a sibling rivalry with his younger sister, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], but does nothing about youngest sister [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] (due to her infant state). While Bart has often hurt Lisa out of jealousy, and even fought her physically, they are very close - he cares for her as deeply as she does for him, and has always apologized for going too far. He also believes Lisa to be his superior when it comes to solving problems, and frequently goes to her for advice. He is often protective of her when she is threatened or insulted by others, though he frequently insults her himself. Both siblings formed a dynamic crime-solving duo during many of their encounters with [[Sideshow Bob]], Bart's nemesis. Bart is also 2 years and 38 days older than Lisa <ref>[[My Sister, My Sitter]]</ref>. At one time, he enters a series of robot battles with his robot: Chief Knock-a-Homer(which is Homer as the robot hoping to gain Bart's trust), and tries to cheer up Lisa when Snowball II dies. <ref>[[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot]]</ref>

===Friends===
Bart's best friend is [[Milhouse Van Houten]].

===Romance===
While he believes in "cooties", Bart has had numerous relationships and crushes on a number of girls in town, despite that most of them had ended in breaking up. Nonetheless, he had shown affection for [[Terri]], twin sister of [[Sherri]], [[Laura Powers]], a teenager whom Bart had a crush on, [[Greta Wolfcastle]], the daughter of [[Rainier Wolfcastle]], [[Jessica Lovejoy]], the daughter of [[Reverend Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]], an unnamed cousin of Sherri and Terri, who has a crush on him, [[Jenny]], who Bart met at the Springfield Retirement Center, and [[Darcy]], a teenager from North Haverbrook.

=== The bullies ===

Bart's schoolyard nemesis is [[Nelson Muntz]]. His other nemesises are Nelson's cronies, [[Jimbo Jones]], [[Kearney Zzyzwicz]], [[Dolph Starbeam]], and [[The Weasels]]. Bart repeatedly tries to impress them, but still generally ends up on the receiving end of their abuse. In more recent episodes, however, Nelson has been seen in Bart's group of friends alongside Milhouse and Ralph.

=== Sideshow Bob ===
Bart (sometimes aided by Lisa) has foiled many of [[Sideshow Bob]]'s evil schemes, which has lead to him becoming Bart's nemesis. Bob has a tattoo saying "Die Bart Die" on his chest, and one of Bart being decapitated on his back. Many of these schemes, as a central point or as a bonus, involved killing Bart - However, when Sideshow Bob finally got the chance to kill him, he found he is "accustomed to [Bart's] face" and cannot do it <ref>[[The Great Louse Detective]]</ref>. He left the country soon after, but after the Simpsons family exposed his nefarious past, he returned to his old ways <ref>[[The Italian Bob]]</ref>.

==Non Canon Appearances==

=== Future ===
As with other characters, his future follows no defined and logical pattern and simply changes to suit the episode. At the age of 18, Bart is a high school senior at [[Springfield High School]]. He styles his hair and wears an earring. He speaks three languages, apparently one being armpit noises, and one is hinted to be French. He pursues a relationship with a girl named [[Jenda]] who denies his proposal. As a result, Bart pursues a career at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]: Whether he kept the job is not mentioned.
At the age of 25, he is a building demolisher and vehicle crusher, and also attends law school. He is more kind in general, as opposed to his modern-day disposition. At age 32, he is taken to the hospital after eating too many fish logs. He seems to have lost his building demolishing company and works at a construction site. He got the "Mother" tattoo which Marge [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire|prevented him from getting]], as well as a tattoo of [[Krusty the Clown]] on his chest. He receives a digestive tract transplant from [[Uter Zorker]] which saves his life.
At age 40, he is a poor guitarist and alcoholic that dropped out of the DeVry Institute. He lives in a beach house alongside Ralph, the only other member of Bart's band. He is addicted to a form of drug, likely marijuana.
At age 50, Bart appears to have straightened up and graduated law school, as he is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. At the age of 70, he lives at the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]] with [[Milhouse]]. At the age of 83, he finds true love, and dies one minute later.

== Behind the Scenes ==
=== Creation ===
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would force him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, substituting "Bart" for his own name, as he decided it would have been too obvious for him to have named the character Matt. Bart then made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]". The name "Bart" is an anagram of the word "brat". Groening conceived Bart as an extreme version of the typical misbehaving child character, merging all of the negative traits of characters such as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn into one person. Groening's older brother Mark provided most of the inspiration for Bart. Groening has also said that he found the premise of ''Dennis the Menace'' disappointing and was inspired to create a character who was actually a menace.

=== Voice & Catchphrases ===
[[Nancy Cartwright]] originally auditioned for the role of Lisa, but soon thought that her voice would be better suited voicing Bart. Matt Groening let her try out for the part, and upon hearing her read, gave her the job on the spot.
Bart's catchphrase "Eat My Shorts" was an ad-lib by Cartwright in one of the original table readings, harking back to an incident when she was at college. His other catchphrases included "¡Ay, caramba!" and "Don't have a cow man!" - the former being his first words after seeing Homer and Marge 'enjoying themselves' in bed - but these dropped out of use as the series progressed (as mentioned in "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]", when Bart complains that Lisa stole his line). Whenever he introduces himself, he often says, "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?"

=== Reception ===
In 1998, ''Time'' magazine selected Bart as 46th of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century — the only fictional character to make the list. He had previously appeared on the cover the December 31, 1990 edition. Both Bart and Lisa ranked #11 in ''TV Guide's'' "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time".

During the show's early years, Bart was rebellious and frequently escaped without punishment, which led some parents' groups and conservative spokespeople to believe he provided a poor role model for children. This prompted [[George H. W. Bush]] to rally, "We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family. To make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons.", to which Bart replied with "Hey, we're just like the Waltons. We're praying for an end to the Depression, too."

Bart's catchphrases, "¡Ay, caramba!", "Don't have a cow, man!" and "Eat my shorts!" were featured on t-shirts in the early days of the show's run. The latter two phrases were rarely actually spoken on the show itself until after they became popular through merchandise, and the use of many of these catchphrases has declined in recent seasons. The use of catchphrase-based humor was mocked in the episode "[[Bart Gets Famous]]" in which Bart gets famous on the Krusty show for saying the line "I didn't do it."

In his book ''Planet Simpson'', Chris Turner describes Bart as a nihilist. Bart's character traits of rebelliousness and disrespect for authority have been likened to that of America's founding fathers, rendering him an updated version of American icons Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, rolled into one.

Bart is the most depicted ''Simpsons'' character on various memorabilia such as toys, books, comics, T-shirts, car decals, and even graffiti art. Bart, and other Simpsons characters, appeared in numerous commercials for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfinger Nestlé's Butterfinger] candy bars from 1990–2001, with the slogan ''"Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!"''. This association was parodied in [[Barting Over|an episode]] when he discovered that he was in a TV commercial when he was a baby; Bart says that he doesn't remember being in a commercial, then holds up a Butterfinger and eats it. Bart briefly appears in the entrance video used by World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Shawn Michaels Bart has appeared in several other shows. He is featured in the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_park South Park]'' episode "Cartoon Wars Part II". He is not referred to by name, nor do any of the characters react to him as if he were a well known personality, but the character specifically mentions the events of ''[[The Telltale Head]]'' when Cartman asks him to name the "most badass thing" he has done.

== Appearances ==
:''Bart appears in every episode and video game. The only episode Bart doesn't appear nor is mentioned is "[[Four Great Women and a Manicure]]".

Chalkboard gag

2010-04-12T11:47:08Z

JaffaCakeLover: swapped In-Universe tag for Cleanup tag

{{Cleanup}}
The '''chalkboard gag''' is a running visual joke that occurs during the [[The Simpsons Opening Sequence|opening credits]] of many episodes of ''[[The Simpsons]]''. In this gag, [[Bart Simpson]] is writing a unique phrase on the chalkboard repeatedly; when the school bell rings, he immediately stops writing and runs out of the classroom. The phrase is usually in the form of an admonishment, implying that Bart has been assigned this task as punishment in detention for some misbehavior left partly to the viewer's imagination.

Several of the gags have been show to be crimes in the U.S. (e.g. ""Bart Bucks" are not legal tender" (counterfeiting which is a class C felony))

The chalkboard gags are usually written in upper case (with the exception of the words "eBay," in which Bart wrote a lower case "e" and "ay", and "iPODDY," where the "i" is lower case.)

While running visual jokes in ''The Simpsons'' are rarely referred to by the content of the show itself, in the episode "[[Skinner's Sense of Snow]]", Bart says that he had written on the chalkboard so many times that his hands sound like a cement mixer. In another episode ("[[Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays]]"), Bart asks for a detention but [[Ms. Krabappel]] said they all got tired of that years ago, referencing the reduced number of gags in the openings. In the episode "[[Bart the Murderer]]", Bart is inspired by Fat Tony and attempts to bribe his principal, Mr. Skinner. In the next scene, Bart is seen writing "I will not bribe [[Seymour Skinner|Mr. Skinner]]" on the chalkboard, monitored by the principal himself.

Lisa has been punished with the chalkboard twice, once in the episode "[[Lisa's Date with Density]]". As she writes, she complains, "How does Bart do this every week?" The second time was in "[[Grift of the Magi]]." When Bart finds out, he malapropism, "The ironing is delicious."

In the early days of the series, a chalkboard gag was used in almost every episode, but, as commercial time has increased, they have gradually disappeared. They are now shown as rarely as twice per season. The show's producers have said that they may soon disappear altogether. However, they seem to be making a comeback as there were eight chalkboard gags during season 17 including three in a row during the last three episodes of the season. The 4th season, the 11th season and the 12th season are the only seasons to use chalkboard gags in each episode (excluding the Treehouse of Horrors).

A chalkboard gag was also used in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''. Bart can be seen writing "I will not illegally download this movie." on the chalkboard at school. As a follow-up, the chalkboard gag on the Season 19 premiere episode, [[He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs]], which immediately follows the Simpsons Movie, shows Bart writing, "I will not wait 20 years to make another movie."

== Chalkboard gags outside ''The Simpsons'' ==
* A chalkboard gag appeared in the ''South Park'' episode "Cartoon Wars Part II", writing ''I Hate Family Guy.''
* In the American children's books ''Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets'', Mr. Krupp punishes George and Harold and makes them fill chalkboards with "I will never do anything which angers my handsome and charming principal, Mr. Krupp, ever, ever again." George and Harold get revenge when they are made Principals for a Day, and they punish the teachers (and tattletale Melvin Sneedly) to write the following sentences on chalkboards:
** Ms. Ribble: ''I will stop being such a crab.''
** Mr. Meaner: ''I will chill out.''
** Ms. Anthrope: ''I will get a life.''
** Melvin: ''I will not be a tattle-tale.''
** Mr. Krupp: ''I will be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very nice to "George the Great" and "The Amazing Harold".''
*In a different book, Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plight of the Purple Potty People, when George and Harold are making sure they are in the right universe, three kids are being seen writing various things about their childhood, such as
** Crying Girl: ''My parents only pretend to love me.''
** Miserable Boy: ''I apologize for being born.''
** Glasses Girl: ''I'm so ugly, when I was born, the doctor slapped my mom.''
* In the comic strip series ''FoxTrot'', Jason Fox gets punished with the chalkboard several times:
** In a 1994 Sunday strip, Jason uses the school's computer to print the phrase "I will not shoot paper clips in class", which he then tapes to the chalkboard (to which his teacher replies, "Jason, I meant write it by hand").
** In a 2003 strip, Jason saves time by writing a program in the C programming language to repeat the required phrase 500 times.
** In a 2005 strip, Jason writes a preemptive blank phrase on the chalkboard.
** In another strip, Jason is told to write "I will not say Eileen Jacobson is a space spore", which he emphasises to "I will not say '''EILEEN JACOBSON IS A SPACE SPORE'''" since the teacher never specified the font size.
* In a parody of the ''Simpsons'' intro featured in two episodes of ''[[wikipedia:Histeria!|Histeria!]]'', Loud Kiddington is shown writing "I do not need a megaphone!"
* In the first episode of ''ChalkZone'', Rudy Tabootie has to write "Cartoons are not funny".
* Around The Horn panelist Woody Paige features a chalkboard with a humorous saying, though it usually isn't a phrase repeated over and over, nor does it usually mention things the writer won't do anymore.

'''Bartholomew Jojo "Bart" Simpson''' (also known as “Dances In Underwear”) is the eldest child of [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] and [[Marge Simpson]], and the brother of [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson]]. He is mischievous and rebellious, with a disrespect for authority and a sharp tongue.
== Appearance ==

He has yellow / blonde spikey hair (revealed to actually be naturally red, but it changes to yellow when he's out in the sun). He wears a red short-sleeved shirt, blue short pants, and blue-white shoes. He would sometimes wear his "lucky" red baseball cap and carry around his skateboard or a slingshot.

== Personality ==
Bart is a self-proclaimed underachiever who begins each show in detention as part of the opening sequence. His birthday is also April 1. He is easily distracted (even, strangely enough, by algebraic equations). His penchant for shocking people began before he was born: Bart "mooned" [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] while he performed a sonogram on Marge, and moments after being born he set fire to Homer's tie.

Bart's interests include [[Krusty the Clown]] (he is "Krusty Buddy" number 16302), [[skateboarding]], reading comic books (especially ''[[Radioactive Man]]''), watching TV (especially the Krusty The Clown Show and [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]), terrorizing [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], playing video games, helping Lisa solve various problems (e.g. reuniting Krusty with his [[Hyman Krustofski|estranged father]]), and pulling off various pranks (such as mooning unsuspecting people and prank calling [[Moe Szyslak]] at his [[Moe's Tavern|tavern]]). Bart also sprays graffiti under the alias 'El Barto', and regularly frequents the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] (for bubblegum and Squishees) and [[The Android's Dungeon]].

Bart can also drive, having his own driving license, given to him after saving Springfield from a fire <ref>[[Little Big Girl]]</ref>, although he has been seen driving before with a fake license at times <ref>[[Bart on the Road]]</ref>. He still possesses it, using it to great effect when he stole [[Principal Skinner]]'s car to get to [[Jimbo]]'s house. <ref>[[24 minutes]]</ref> He is a player in the [[Mighty Pigs]] Peewee Hockey League Team.

Bart hinted that his favorite movies are ''Jaws'' and the ''Star Wars'' trilogy <ref>[[Bart the General]]</ref>. His best friend is [[Milhouse Van Houten]].

Bart is a polyglot and can speak several language's with varying degree's of fluency. Though he has not demonstrated the ability since his trip to France as an exchange student, he speaks near-perfect French (as a result of drinking wine laced with antifreeze) <ref>[[The Crepes of Wrath]]</ref> . He also learned Spanish in a matter of hours in preparation for the family's trip to Brazil <ref>[[Blame It on Lisa]]</ref>. Upon learning that Brazilians speak Portuguese and not Spanish, Homer orders his son to forget what he learned, prompting Bart to strike himself over the head until he forgot the language. Bart also speaks Japanese (which he also learned in a couple of hours in prison along with Homer, and is also shown speaking Japanese <ref> [[A Star is Burns]]</ref>, Cantonese and Latin. His advanced linguistic skills may be inherited from Homer, who also speaks advanced languages, including penguin. He seems to be able to drive vehicles with surprising skill for his age. He was also shown to be a skilled drummer <ref>[[Jazzy and the Pussycats]]</ref>.

He is the most misunderstood Simpson, constantly frustrated by the narrow-minded people of [[Springfield]], who judge him merely by his thoughts and actions. At heart, he is just a good kid with a few bad ideas (and one or two that are still being reviewed by the Springfield District Attorney) - Basically, Bart is no different from any ordinary 4th grader. When Bart is about to do something mischievous, he does an evil chuckle.

Bart is also a skilled chef. He cooked a three course meal for his parents and made a dessert.

=== Behaviour ===
Bart is considerably motivated in disrupting the routine at [[Springfield Elementary College|Springfield Elementary]], and his pranks are often elaborately complex, while his actions and speech frequently show considerable mental agility, street-smarts, and understanding. When Bart became a hall monitor for Springfield Elementary, his grades went up, showing that he only struggles because he does not pay attention, not because he is dumb <ref>[[Separate Vocations]]</ref>. Later, it is revealed that Bart suffers from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder Attention Deficit Disorder]<ref>[[Brother's Little Helper]]</ref>. He turns out to be musically gifted by becoming an excellent drummer.
On the other hand, Bart often seems to have trouble understanding even the simplest concepts, such as the word "irony", what the equator is and that the logo on his globe ("Rand McNally") is not actually a country.

Labeled an "underachiever" by authority figures, Bart rides an academic rollercoaster, his grades, running the Loop-the-Loop from "F" to "D-," and back again. But he can be ingenious when the chips are down—as long as his ingenuity is never applied to anything school-related. He even learned portions of the Talmud to help reunite his idol, [[Krusty the Clown]], with Krusty's father, Rabbi [[Hyman Krustofski]].

Although he gets into endless trouble and is sometimes shallow and selfish, Bart also exhibits many qualities of high integrity. He has, on a few occasions, helped the love life of [[Seymour Skinner|his school Principal]] and [[Edna Krabappel|his teacher]], despite the fact he often terrorizes them, and he often befriends outcasts like [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]]. One great example of his quasi sense of honor is when Bart stands up for [[Ralph Wiggum]] at the cost of peer popularity <ref>[[This Little Wiggy]]</ref>. He was once sent to a juvenile detention center when he played a serious prank involving faux wedding gifts and a fake wedding. <ref>[[The Wandering Juvie]]</ref>

=== Alter Egos & Aliases ===
Bart sprays graffiti around Springfield using the name "El Barto", and his superhero alter-ego is [[Bartman]]. He called himself The Cupcake Kid when Homer became Pie-Man.

== Relationships ==
=== Family ===

Due to Bart's mischievousness and Homer's often uncaring and incompetent behavior, the two have a turbulent relationship. Bart will often address Homer by his given name instead of "Dad", while Homer in turn often refers to him as "the boy". Whenever [[Homer]] finds out that Bart has said or done something stupid or bad, he yells "Why you little–!" (often followed by throttling him) or simply "BART!". Homer and Bart's relationship reaches a breaking point following Homer's pollution of Lake Springfield (causing Springfield to be sealed under a giant dome by the EPA), with Bart even going so far as saying that he wishes Flanders was his father. Nevertheless, the two really do love each other deep down <ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>. [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], who calls Bart her "special little guy", is much more caring, understanding and nurturing than Homer, but she also refers to Bart as "a handful" and is often embarrassed by his antics.

Bart shares a sibling rivalry with his younger sister, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], but does nothing about youngest sister [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] (due to her infant state). While Bart has often hurt Lisa out of jealousy, and even fought her physically, they are very close - he cares for her as deeply as she does for him, and has always apologized for going too far. He also believes Lisa to be his superior when it comes to solving problems, and frequently goes to her for advice. He is often protective of her when she is threatened or insulted by others, though he frequently insults her himself. Both siblings formed a dynamic crime-solving duo during many of their encounters with [[Sideshow Bob]], Bart's nemesis. Bart is also 2 years and 38 days older than Lisa <ref>[[My Sister, My Sitter]]</ref>. At one time, he enters a series of robot battles with his robot: Chief Knock-a-Homer(which is Homer as the robot hoping to gain Bart's trust), and tries to cheer up Lisa when Snowball II dies. <ref>[[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot]]</ref>

===Friends===

===Romance===
While he believes in "cooties", Bart has had numerous relationships and crushes on a number of girls in town, despite that most of them had ended in breaking up. Nonetheless, he had shown affection for [[Terri]], twin sister of [[Sherri]], [[Laura Powers]], a teenager whom Bart had a crush on, [[Greta Wolfcastle]], the daughter of [[Rainier Wolfcastle]], [[Jessica Lovejoy]], the daughter of [[Reverend Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]], an unnamed cousin of Sherri and Terri, whom had a crush on him, [[Jenny]], who Bart met at the Springfield Retirement Center, and [[Darcy]], a teenager from North Haverbrook.

=== The bullies ===

Bart's schoolyard nemesis is [[Nelson Muntz]]. His other nemesises are Nelson's cronies, [[Jimbo Jones]], [[Kearney Zzyzwicz]], [[Dolph Starbeam]], and [[The Weasels]]. Bart repeatedly tries to impress them, but still generally ends up on the receiving end of their abuse. In more recent episodes, however, Nelson has been seen in Bart's group of friends alongside Milhouse and Ralph.

=== Sideshow Bob ===
Bart (sometimes aided by Lisa) has foiled many of [[Sideshow Bob]]'s evil schemes, which has lead to him becoming Bart's nemesis. Bob has a tattoo saying "Die Bart Die" on his chest, and one of Bart being decapitated on his back. Many of these schemes, as a central point or as a bonus, involved killing Bart - However, when Sideshow Bob finally got the chance to kill him, he found he is "accustomed to [Bart's] face" and cannot do it <ref>[[The Great Louse Detective]]</ref>. He left the country soon after, but after the Simpsons family exposed his nefarious past, he returned to his old ways <ref>[[The Italian Bob]]</ref>.

=== Future ===
As with other characters, his future follows no defined and logical pattern and simply changes to suit the episode. At the age of 18, Bart is a high school senior at [[Springfield High School]]. He styles his hair and wears an earring. He speaks three languages, apparently one being armpit noises, and one is hinted to be French. He pursues a relationship with a girl named [[Jenda]] who denies his proposal. As a result, Bart pursues a career at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]]: Whether he kept the job is not mentioned.
At the age of 25, he is a building demolisher and vehicle crusher, and also attends law school. He is more kind in general, as opposed to his modern-day disposition. At age 32, he is taken to the hospital after eating too many fish logs. He seems to have lost his building demolishing company and works at a construction site. He got the "Mother" tattoo which Marge [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire|prevented him from getting]], as well as a tattoo of [[Krusty the Clown]] on his chest. He receives a digestive tract transplant from [[Uter Zorker]] which saves his life.
At age 40, he is a poor guitarist and alcoholic that dropped out of the DeVry Institute. He lives in a beach house alongside Ralph, the only other member of Bart's band. He is addicted to a form of drug, likely marijuana.
At age 50, Bart appears to have straightened up and graduated law school, as he is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. At the age of 70, he lives at the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]] with [[Milhouse]]. At the age of 83, he finds true love, and dies one minute later.

== Behind the Scenes ==
=== Creation ===
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would force him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction. He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family, substituting "Bart" for his own name, as he decided it would have been too obvious for him to have named the character Matt. Bart then made his debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]". The name "Bart" is an anagram of the word "brat". Groening conceived Bart as an extreme version of the typical misbehaving child character, merging all of the negative traits of characters such as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn into one person. Groening's older brother Mark provided most of the inspiration for Bart. Groening has also said that he found the premise of ''Dennis the Menace'' disappointing and was inspired to create a character who was actually a menace.

=== Voice & Catchphrases ===
[[Nancy Cartwright]] originally auditioned for the role of Lisa, but soon thought that her voice would be better suited voicing Bart. Matt Groening let her try out for the part, and upon hearing her read, gave her the job on the spot.
Bart's catchphrase "Eat My Shorts" was an ad-lib by Cartwright in one of the original table readings, harking back to an incident when she was at college. His other catchphrases included "¡Ay, caramba!" and "Don't have a cow man!" - the former being his first words after seeing Homer and Marge 'enjoying themselves' in bed - but these dropped out of use as the series progressed (as mentioned in "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]", when Bart complains that Lisa stole his line). Whenever he introduces himself, he often says, "I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?"

=== Reception ===
In 1998, ''Time'' magazine selected Bart as 46th of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century — the only fictional character to make the list. He had previously appeared on the cover the December 31, 1990 edition. Both Bart and Lisa ranked #11 in ''TV Guide's'' "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time".

During the show's early years, Bart was rebellious and frequently escaped without punishment, which led some parents' groups and conservative spokespeople to believe he provided a poor role model for children. This prompted [[George H. W. Bush]] to rally, "We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family. To make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons.", to which Bart replied with "Hey, we're just like the Waltons. We're praying for an end to the Depression, too."

Bart's catchphrases, "¡Ay, caramba!", "Don't have a cow, man!" and "Eat my shorts!" were featured on t-shirts in the early days of the show's run. The latter two phrases were rarely actually spoken on the show itself until after they became popular through merchandise, and the use of many of these catchphrases has declined in recent seasons. The use of catchphrase-based humor was mocked in the episode "[[Bart Gets Famous]]" in which Bart gets famous on the Krusty show for saying the line "I didn't do it."

In his book ''Planet Simpson'', Chris Turner describes Bart as a nihilist. Bart's character traits of rebelliousness and disrespect for authority have been likened to that of America's founding fathers, rendering him an updated version of American icons Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, rolled into one.

Bart is the most depicted ''Simpsons'' character on various memorabilia such as toys, books, comics, T-shirts, car decals, and even graffiti art. Bart, and other Simpsons characters, appeared in numerous commercials for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfinger Nestlé's Butterfinger] candy bars from 1990–2001, with the slogan ''"Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!"''. This association was parodied in [[Barting Over|an episode]] when he discovered that he was in a TV commercial when he was a baby; Bart says that he doesn't remember being in a commercial, then holds up a Butterfinger and eats it. Bart briefly appears in the entrance video used by World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Shawn Michaels Bart has appeared in several other shows. He is featured in the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_park South Park]'' episode "Cartoon Wars Part II". He is not referred to by name, nor do any of the characters react to him as if he were a well known personality, but the character specifically mentions the events of ''[[The Telltale Head]]'' when Cartman asks him to name the "most badass thing" he has done.

NOTE: The only episode Bart doesn't appear in and isn't mentioned is [[Four Great Women and a Manicure]].

Pink Sedan

2010-04-11T23:47:03Z

JaffaCakeLover: removed duplicate image

{{vehicle
|Image = [[File:PinkSedan.png|250px]]
|Owner = [[Homer Simpson]]
|Maker = Unknown Croatian Manufacturer
|Engine = V-8
|Transmission = Automatic
|Use = Homer's Car
|FirstAppearance = [[Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire]]
}}

The '''Pink Sedan''' is one of two automobiles that belong to the Simpson family. It is [[Homer Simpson|Homer's]] car, and he uses it almost exclusively. The car features minor damage on the left front fender (which Homer has never had repaired), driver's side airbag, a bent up radio aerial, and has a *Trackstar 8-Track radio.

== Trivia ==
* In several episodes the car ends up completely trashed, yet is good as new the next week: You think [[Frank Grimes Jr.|Homer's Mechanic]] would be nicer to him, considering how much business Homer brings in.
* Homer's Mechanic states that Homer's car was built in Croatia, made from Soviet tanks<ref>"[[The Great Louse Detective]]"</ref>.
* Although Homer cashes in this car to buy the [[Canyonero]] in "[[Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"]]", it somehow reappears.
**Homer is embarrassed to drive a woman's car (The F Series Canyonero), and is sectioned for wearing a pink shirt ("[[Stark Raving Dad]]") yet a pink car is fine. Considering it's normal to have yellow skin and blue hair, maybe pink cars have no social stigma.
* In [[Homer Loves Flanders]], the Sedan is green.
* This car is a drivable vehicle in ''[[The Simpsons Road Rage]]'' and ''[[The Simpsons: Hit and Run]]'', as a convertible.
* The day Homer bought it has not been shown in the series, but he did own a different car while in high school.
* The car is sometimes drawn with side-view mirrors, sometimes not.
* Usually the license plate is left blank, but when it does have lettering, it varies (see [http://www.snpp.com/guides/license_plates.html License Plates on The Simpsons]).

==About me==
I came here to improve the wiki for the biggest cartoon in history!
The episode pages were (and some still are) a mess, so I implemented the Tab system from Family Guy Wiki and set to work creating a consistant structure for the episodes, a lone gun whittling down the seasons. Now i'm project leader of [[WikiSimpsons:Project_Episodes|Project Episodes]]!

The Regina Monologues/References

2010-03-22T15:26:32Z

JaffaCakeLover: /* References */ added season bar

{{TabR|episode=The_Regina_Monologues}}

==Cultural References==
*'''''[[wikipedia:The Vagina Monologues|The Vagina Monologues]]''''' — The episode title is a pun on Eve Ensler's play; Regina is substituted as the Latin word for Queen.
*'''''[[wikipedia:The Hertz Corporation|Hertz Rent-a-Car]]''''' - The Simpsons rent a [[wikipedia:Mini_(BMW)|BMW Mini Cooper]] from an " 'Ertz" rent-a-car branch, a parody of the Hertz corporation.
*[[James_Bond_film_series|James Bond''''' '''movies''']] - The series is parodied twice: in the scene where former Prime Minister [[wikipedia:Tony_Blair|Tony Blair]] greets the Simpsons, then blasts off on a jetpack à la ''[[wikipedia:Thunderball (film)|Thunderball]]'' (the ''007'' theme plays); and in the scene where Homer spots Bart and Lisa from the [[wikipedia:London Eye|London Eye]], pulls a lever and the whole car detaches from the Eye, before skimming across the River Thames.
*'''''[[wikipedia:The Brady Bunch|The Brady Bunch]]''''' - The first act plot — where Bart happens upon a $1,000 bill and Marge subsequently tells him to advertise for its rightful owner — is inspired by the 1970 episode "The Treasure of Sierra Avenue."
*''British Newspapers'' - After Homer is arrested and sent to the Tower of London, British tabloid newspapers are seen with various headlines; center-left tabloid ''[[wikipedia:Daily Mirror|The Mirror]]'', centre-right broadsheet ''[[wikipedia:The_Times|The Times]]'', right-wing paper ''[[wikipedia:Daily Mail|The Daily Mail]]'' and tabloid ''[[wikipedia:The_Sun_(newspaper)|The Sun]]'' .
**The Times and The Sun are owned by [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s News Corporation.
**All of the newspaper shots are complete with correct typefaces, except the Daily Mail.
*"'''[[wikipedia:The Cherry Orchard|The Cherry Orchard]]'''" — The play, written by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, is used as a sly dig at ''[[wikipedia:Joe Millionaire|Joe Millionaire]]'', where star [[wikipedia:Evan_Marriott|Evan Marriott]] admits he does not have a cherry orchard, much like in the show where he admits he was not a millionaire.
*'''"[[wikipedia:Harry_Potter|Harry Potter]]"''' - When J. K. Rowling is met by the family, Lisa tells her that she shows deep infatuation with the titular character. After asking what would be the ending of the series, Rowling sarcastically replies that the character will grow up and marry Lisa., which is exactly what she wanted to hear.
*[[Wikipedia:The Scottish play|'''''"Macbeth"''''' '''curse''']] — The old theater superstition is parodied when [[Sir Ian McKellen]] is repeatedly injured after Homer repeatedly mentions the name of the Shakespeare play ("What, Macbeth?").
*'''[[wikipedia:Museum_of_Modern_Art|Museum of Modern Art]]''' — The "Museum of Modern Bart" is an obvious pun.
*''New Zoo Revue'' — Homer's insistence that The Queen's real name is Henrietta R. Hippo (thanks to the monogram on the Her Royal Highness' night bag although the Queen is "Her Majesty", not "Her Royal Highness") recalls the hippo character on the 1970s children's TV show.
*''National Lampoon's European Vacation'' — The scene where Homer endlessly circles the roundabout spoofs a similar scene in the 1985 movie, where Clark Griswold keeps driving around the roundabout adjacent to Lambeth Bridge.
*''Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'' — Bart's "Moon Party" sequence is likely a reference to the 1970s Saturday morning cartoon. Also appearing: ''Star Wars'' character R2-D2 (playing the bass).
*Sir Walter Raleigh - The tunnel leading from the Tower of London to the Queen's bedroom in Buckingham Palace may be a reference to a rumour that Raleigh carried out an affair with the never-married Queen Elizabeth I. This could also be a reference to the Michael Fagan incident, where an unarmed man broke into the Palace and surprised Queen Elizabeth II in her bedroom.
*'''''[[wikipedia:Trainspotting_(film)|Trainspotting]]''''' — Bart and Lisa run through town on a sugar high as Iggy Pop's "[[wikipedia:Lust_for_Life_(song)|Lust for Life]]" plays in the background. When Bart and Lisa are running they go by the same route used by Ewan McGregor at the start of the film most notably as they go down the stairs (despite the stairs being in Edinburgh, not London). The scene ends with Maggie crawling across the ceiling of a lolly house and her head spins around like the baby in the withdrawal scene.
*The scene between Lord Daftwager and his "lover" is a parody of the premise of the musical ''[[wikipedia:My_Fair_Lady|My Fair Lady]]''.
*[[wikipedia:Manchester_United_F.C.|Manchester United]] midfielder [[wikipedia:Ryan_Giggs|Ryan Giggs]] is mentioned by Homer when he questions the yellow card given to Giggs.
*In complimenting his half-sister, Homer says "You make Dame Edna look like a dude". [[wikipedia:Dame_Edna_Everage|Dame Edna Everage]] is a famous character of male comedian [[wikipedia:Barry_Humphries|Barry Humphries]].
*Homer sees [[wikipedia:Led_Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] guitarist Jimmy Page from the London Eye and calls him "one of the greatest thieves of American black music ever to walk the Earth," a reference to Led Zeppelin's frequent and frequently sued-over practice of "borrowing" of music, themes and lyrics from American blues music.
* The line "Feel the drunken wrath of Chuck Shadowski" heard in the Hockey Dads game is a sly reference to "Big Chuck" Schodowski, a Cleveland TV personality most recently co-host of the [[wikipedia:Big Chuck and Lil' John|''Big Chuck and Lil' John'' show]].
*'''''[[wikipedia:Trading_Places|Trading Places]]''''' - the two wealthy gentlemen who suggest a wager after meeting Bart and Lisa who are just coming down from there suger high.
*'''[[wikipedia:Judi_Dench|Dame Judi Dench]]''' - When the Simpsons are on the tourbus, they go to a restaurant called "Judi Dench's Fish and Chips."

==Trivia==
*The chocolate shop clerk claims that British chocolate is sweeter than what Bart and Lisa are used to in America. However British chocolate actually contains less suger than the American variety, although it has a higher milk and cocoa content.<ref name=chocolate>[[wikipedia:Types_of_chocolate#Classification|Wikipedia : Types of chocolate (Classification)]].</ref>

'''The Regina Monologues'''" is the fourth episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' fifteenth season. It was the first episode in which the entire family went to England, and the first time a sitting head of government provided his own voice as a guest star. It guest stars [[Jane Leeves]] as [[Edwina]] and [[Tony Blair]], [[Evan Marriott]], [[Ian McKellen|Sir Ian McKellen]] and [[J.K. Rowling]] as themselves.<ref name=bbcnews/><ref name=imdb>{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0701258/|title=The Regina Monologues|accessdate=2007-09-03|publisher=Internet Movie Database}}</ref>

== Plot ==
Mr Burns withdraws a $1000 bill from an ATM, but he drops it and an updraft carries it away to the Simpsons' house, where [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] are playing a vicious video game (Hockey Dad). It flies straight into Milhouse's hair and Bart removes it and keeps it, claiming that it was a ladybug. Bart wonders what to do with the bill, but [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] tells him and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] to put up fliers so that the person who lost it can reclaim it. Soon, there is a long line of people outside the Simpsons' house, all claiming the bill. No one can describe it correctly and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] suggests that they spend the money on Marge, who wants a vacation, but decides against it because Homer always manages to ruin it. The next day, Bart displays the $1000 bill in school for his friends to see. When Milhouse offers him 25 cents to see it again, he gets an idea and sets up a museum in his tree house, naming it "The Museum of Modern Bart". The museum is a resounding success, however, when Mr. Burns comes in and sees the bill, he claims it as his. When asked for proof of ownership, he shows Bart the bills indentation on his chest (when the bill was ejected from the ATM, it hit Burns in the chest, knocking him backwards before it was swept off). Bart is forced to give it back and close his museum, as now that there is no $1000 bill, no-one is interested in the museum. Lisa says that they have managed to collect $3000 from the museum so it does not matter anymore. Bart wants to spend it on a used Toyota. Lisa then reminds him that Marge has never had an enjoyable vacation. Bart feels upset, looks at Marge and decides to go on a vacation. [[Abraham Simpson|Grandpa]] suggests using the money to go to London, where he hopes to meet [[Edwina]] once more, a girl he met there during the war.

The family travels to London and are greeted by the then British Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]], whom Homer confuses with Mr. Bean. They start seeing the sights, while Grandpa stays at the hotel, trying to contact Edwina. Bart and Lisa go on a "sugar trip" after discovering the joys of British chocolate. The family go on to meet [[J.K. Rowling]] and [[Sir Ian McKellen]].
[[File:200px-Vlcsnap-1361413.png|thumb|left|250px|Sir Ian McKellen]]

Marge is astonished that Homer is behaving himself. They rent a Mini Cooper and start to drive around London. Unfortunately, they get stuck on a roundabout. After driving in circles for hours, Homer decides to break out of it, plows straight through the gates of Buckingham Palace and slams into [[Queen Elizabeth II]]'s horse drawn carriage. Unaware of whom he has just knocked down, he tries to brush the incident under the carpet, but the Scots Guardsmen start beating him with cudgels. Then comes the Changing of the Guard, and the new Scots Guardsmen continue to beat him mercilessly. This supposedly continues until the Queen's mention or when they run out of Guards.

Homer is put on trial for causing harm to the Queen as well as wrecking her carriage. He calls the Queen an impostor, since her luggage is inscribed "H.R.H." which he believes is short for "Henrietta R. Hippo". The Queen, highly offended, demands that he be executed. He is taken away to the Tower of London to await his execution, where it is planned for his head to be stuck on a pike. Near the fireplace in his cell, he prays to "the God of England" and displays the frequent mistaken American impression that British people prefer to use the metric system. His family call him from outside and Lisa tells him that he can use a secret tunnel that Sir Walter Raleigh built. For that, he must push a brick in the fireplace, which he manages on his second attempt (his first attempt failing as he forgot to put out the fire first). However, the tunnel leads straight into the Queen's bedroom. The Queen whistles for her guards and they rush in. Homer pleads with the Queen to find it in her "jewel encrusted heart" to forgive him. Finally, he is allowed to leave England as long as they take Madonna with them to America. Just as they are about to leave, Edwina shows up and meets Grandpa. She introduces them to [[Abbie]], her 58-year-old daughter, who looks and sounds like Homer in drag. Abe cannot bear the thought of having ''another'' Homer in his life, so he bolts. However, Homer seems to think that Abbie is quite attractive, perhaps showing signs of Genetic Sexual Attraction.

"'''The President Wore Pearls'''" is the third episode of the [[Season 15|fifteenth season]].

== Plot ==
Springfield Elementary holds a casino night as a fundraiser, the brainchild of student body president Martin Prince. Homer wins big, but when Martin points out that his winnings can only be redeemed for prizes and not real money, the angry casino patrons riot. After the chaos has cleared, Principal Skinner tells Martin he must resign as president. An election for a new president is announced, and Lisa signs up. However, initially Nelson Muntz is favored to win solely on popularity despite Lisa's good idea's. During a debate in the school auditorium, she sings a song (a spoof of "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina") about how she will fight for student rights, winning them over.

Lisa easily wins the election. Worried by her determination and popularity, the faculty discusses how to control her. Following Mrs. Krabappel that a woman's weakness is vanity, the school faculty tells Lisa that as President, she deserves a more glamorous look. Another song is sung (a spoof of "Rainbow High") as the teachers give Lisa a makeover into a Bananas Eva Perón Hates. She is initially resistant, but gives in since she reasons she'll still be able to fight for the kids. The students love her more than ever, but the faculty plan on using her to distract the kids from the fact that they are cutting music, gym, and art (basically all the fun classes) from the curriculum to save on the budget. Realizing she was seduced by glamor, Lisa goes back to her old spiky hair and plain red dress. After resigning as president, Lisa leads the students in a strike.

The students leave school in protest and Michael Moore (voicing himself) shows up to take their side. The police arrive at the school to handle the students, but Lisa wins over the police too. Several other labor unions, including goat milkers, newsroom cue card holders and theme park zombies join the strike. Groundskeeper Willie refuses Skinner's order to turn his hose on the students. Realizing there is no other way out of the crippling strike other than disposing of Lisa again, Skinner has her transferred to a school for the gifted. When she arrives there, Homer shows up to explain that he is not driving 45 minutes just to take her to school each day, and so everything ends up back to normal. A subtitle states that the elementary school cancels flu shots and sells loose cigarettes to pay for the restoration of music, art and gym. The subtitle also states that the producers of the show, based on the advice of their lawyers, never heard of a musical based on the life of Eva Peron.

== Reception ==
In 2007, [http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/08/top10simpsons200708 Vanity Fair] called "The President Wore Pearls" the tenth best episode of The Simpsons, the most recent episode on the list. John Orvted said, "It may seem ludicrous to include anything later than Season 8 in this list, but this one is brilliant. The musical numbers are astoundingly good, and Lisa's comeuppance is so well constructed it harkens back to the golden years of the show."

The episode was also nominated for an [[Emmy]] for Outstanding Music (by [[Alf Clausen]]) And Lyrics (by [[Dana Gould]]).

== Plot ==

[[Homer]], [[Lisa]], [[Bart]] and [[Maggie]] are cleaning the garden, when Marge orders to them to go inside. After finally getting Homer indoors the family sit and watch the TV. On [[Kent Brockman]]'s "Oops Patrol", it is revealed Marge has discovered a funny headline and she is rewarded with a "Oops Patrol " shirt. Homer then gets jealous of the shirt and strives to win one for himself.

Homer spends the next evening searching for funny headlines in his bedroom. He then discovers a interesting article called: "The World's Biggest Pizza". The first lines of the article spells Homer and he wakes Marge and tells her someone is trying to communicate with him. He discovers it is today's newspaper and he wakes Bart so they can go together.

Upon arriving at Four Street Overpass, the mystery person arrives scaring Bart and Homer. She then reveals herself to be [[Mona Simpson]] and puts a sweater on Bart, which says: "World's Best Grandson". At the Overpass Diner, she apologizes for being mysterious, but she had to be cautious due to the fact the government is after for her for destroying [[Mr Burns]]' germ lab. She used her links with the Springfield newspaper company to communicate with Homer, using the story of the giant pizza to lure him. Bart then questions why Mona returned and she reveals it was because of the macaroni pencil pot Homer had made when he was five.

[[Chief Wiggum]], [[Lou]] and [[Eddie]] arrive at the diner. Mona is recognized by Lou and she, Homer and Bart flee the diner. Whilst in the car, Homer vows not to let the cops to get Mona again, but he crashes into the police station, and Mona is arrested. During Mona's court case, Mr Burn's tries to get Mona put on trial but she is released, to Homer's delight.

Mona then catches up on Homer's childhood; bathing him, watching him in the school play, knitting for him, teaching him to ride a bike and the birth of [[Bart]]. In [[Moe's Tavern]] Mona catches up with [[Lenny]] and [[Carl]]. Mr Burns' then renames his Germ Lab to "Grandma Simpson Peace Museum and Kid-teractive Learnatorium". He then asks Mona to be the first to sign the visitor book, but as she signs she mentions she used fake names in the visitor books of theme parks; which is a federal offence. The FBI then jump out and arrest Mona, which deeply saddens Homer.

Homer then reminisces his time with Mona and decides to break her out of prison. The following day, Bart and Homer break onto the bus transferring the prisoners to jail. Homer then steals the bus and all of the prisoners (except Mona) get off. The police then give chase to the bus and Mona pushes Homer out of the bus onto a bed, which rolls into some large cacti. The bus then nears a cliff with the police in hot pursuit, Homer watches in despair as the bus flies of the cliff and lands in a large lake which is then covered by a avalanche. At Mona's funeral the coffin is lost and Homer kicks over [[Frank Grimes]]' grave.

Homer then decides to see if his mother has communicated with him again. He then eventually finds a article which reads: "IMOK". He then goes to sleep and it is revealed he mislooked at a article about a giant taco, which reveals Mona escaped from the bus and is fine.

Hell

2010-03-22T14:41:36Z

JaffaCakeLover: /* Appearances */ added episode

{{Template:Noncanon}}

'''Hell''' is the place evil people go when they die (or sometimes visit when near death). It is run by the [[Devil]], and is the tradtional Christian representation; all fire and brimstone.

[[Homer]] went there after he sold his soul to the Devil in "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]", while Bart had an out-of-body experience which took him there in "[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]". The whole Simpson family went at the end of "[[Simpsons Bible Stories]]" (after Homer stopped [[Lisa]] from ascending to [[Heaven]]).

The Devil enjoys dealing out cruel and ironic punishments to the denizens of Hell. Homer was fed all the doughnuts in the world, but didn't take this as a punishment, demanding ''more'' donuts. At the end of "Simpsons Bible Stories", Hell (off-screen, down a flaming pit) had a poorly-managed barbeque; this succeeded in breaking Homer's spirit.

==Trivia==

*The Halloween names (such as "Blood Curdling Cartwright") return to the closing credits.

*This episode marks the second time [[Homer]] was cast to be a Marvel Super Hero character (which also was a beast-like character); the first time was in "[[I Am Furious Yellow]]", where he lost his temper and temporarily acted as [[wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]].

*Referring to the remark about Homer talking about the previous episode, this also sort of happens in "[[Treehouse of Horror XI]]," where the Leprechaun from the first story, "Hex and the City", is seen on Bart's back in the "Wiz Kids" segment.
*The scene where [[Professor Frink]] kicks his father in the crotch is similar to the [[wikipedia:Scooby-Doo_2:_Monsters_Unleashed|second Scooby-Doo movie]], where Velma kicks the Black Knight ghost in the crotch, saying it was his 'weak spot'. The film was released 4 months after the episode aired.

*Parts of Frinkenstein include [[Snake]]'s right arm, [[Sideshow Mel]]'s hair (and scalp), [[Lenny]]'s left arm{{fact}}, and [[Comic Book Guy]]'s Buttocks.

*When Lisa uses the stopwatch at the end of "Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off" Bart changes back from his 25 year old self back to his 10 year old self without explanation.

*When Lisa uses the stopwatch at the end of "Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off", the things that suddenly happen to the other members of the family are:
**The upper portion of their bodies become rockets and zoom around.
**They turn into [[wikipedia:Bobblehead|bobbleheads]].
**They turn into ''[[wikipedia:TV_Guide|TV Guide]]'' covers.
**They turn into the [[wikipedia:Fantastic_Four|Fantastic Four]].
**They return to normal, but are playing with hula-hoops.

"'''Treehouse of Horror XIV'''" is the first episode of the Simpsons<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[Season_15|fifteenth season]]. This is one of several Simpsons episodes which are considered [[anthology episodes]] that features mini-stories.

== Opening Sequence ==
[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], dressed as Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt from the ''Peanuts'' series discuss their Halloween treats, and Lisa claims that hers are better than Bart's. The two then fight until [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] intervenes and orders them to stop fighting. He throws an inflamed log at them, but misses and hits [[Abe Simpson|Grampa]]. Homer gets Bart and Lisa rolled up in the rug and "beats the lumps". A gun-wielding [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] intervenes and says that she does not approve of Homer's parenting techniques, then shoots homer, splattering his blood on the viewer's TV screen (revealing the title). From their spaceship, [[Kang and Kodos]] criticize the [[Simpson family]] for airing a Halloween special in November, while they have their Christmas decorations set up.<ref name="IGN">IGN.</ref>

== Plot ==
=== Reaper Madness ===
[[Death]] enters the Simpson house attempting to take Bart, but the family goes on a ''Benny Hill''-style chase to elude him. However, Death eventually manages to pin Bart’s shirt to the wall with its scythe. As the Grim Reaper sentences Bart to an eternity of pain, Homer kills it with a bowling ball, but when he does, he learns that no one can die since the Grim Reaper is dead. The scene then cuts to two examples of a world where no one can die: Frankie the Squealer being shot by the Springfield Mafia and Moe hanging himself from the ceiling. On trash day, Marge tells Homer to take the dead Grim Reaper to the curb. Homer does, but puts on the robe, inadvertently turning himself into the new Grim Reaper. He kills many people on God’s list (and some who are not) until he is asked to kill Marge. Homer doesn’t want to kill his wife, and he tries to plead to God that he wants to get out of the job. Then Homer pulls a fast one on God by substituting [[Patty Bouvier|Patty]]’s body for Marge. The annoyed deity tries to punish Homer with a (presumably lethal) sunbeam but Homer narrowly escapes on his motorcycle, prompting God to sigh "I’m too old and too rich for this." At the house Marge gives Homer an extra pork chop.

[[File:Treehouse of Horror XIV (4).jpg|thumb|Homer and Frinkenstein]]

=== Frinkenstein ===
Homer gets a call telling him that he is the winner of the Nobel Prize; however, Lisa learns that it’s actually for [[Professor Frink]]. Frink is so excited that he decides to reanimate his father’s corpse in order to have him appear at the ceremony. Unfortunately, the corpse of Frink Sr. goes on a rampage looking for body parts. At the awards ceremony in Stockholm, Frink Sr. tries to make amends with his son for his recent behavior, but he goes another rampage through the audience, stealing brains of scientists and growing more and more intelligent. Frink Jr. manages to stop his father with a kick to the crotch, and he is able to hold on to his father's soul (which talks to him from a box).

=== Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off ===
Bart and [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] (in a parody of the ''Twilight Zone'' episode “A Kind of a Stopwatch”) get a stopwatch through an ad in an old comic book magazine for 50<strike>C</strike> that actually allows them to stop time. They have a great blast pulling pranks on [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfieldans]], such as depantsing Principal [[Seymour Skinner]] and stealing Homers doughnuts. They almost get away with it, but they are outsmarted by [[Mayor Quimby]]. An angry mob goes after Bart and Milhouse. While they are on the run, Chief Wiggum shoots at them; they stop time and the watch breaks, causing Bart and Milhouse to be the only two people moving in a world where time has stopped. They soon take advantage of this and go on a world wide crime spree, kidnapping the pope for wedgying, stealing whatever they want and just generally doing anything they wish. They soon become bored though and realise they need to fix the watch. Although the watch repair manual is easy to follow, it takes the pair 15 years to get the watch fixed and for things to go back to normal. Once repaired, the pair position Martin Prince to take the blame, and he is killed when time returns. However, Lisa points out that Bart has become a grown man and has amassed vast riches. In the interest of being fair, Homer decides to let Lisa use the watch. She then discovers a second button which interferes with reality, causing the Simpsons to undergo various changes such as becomimg bobble heads, having their torsos separate from their bodies on jetpacks, and finally start hula-hooping to "Rock Around the Clock."

Unfortunately, the crowd size for the event has exceeded the garden's capacity by one person, and [[Chief Clancy Wiggum|Chief Wiggum]] makes Moe leave. When the plant blooms, it releases a ghastly stench that makes the townspeople flee for their lives, destroying the botanical gardens. Moe walks sadly away from the gardens, mistaking the townspeople screams of delight.

"'''Dude, Where's My Ranch?'''" is the eighteenth episode of the Simpsons' fourteenth season.

== Plot ==
When the family does Christmas carols, they sing songs, until they reach the [[Blue-Haired Lawyer]]'s house. He tells the family that they can't sing Christmas carols, unless they pay a royalty. In response, [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] makes the lyrics for his own Christmas carol. Later, [[Ned Flanders]] comes in and tries to help Homer, until Homer kicks him out. Homer finds new inspiration in an anti-Flanders song, [[Everybody Hates Ned Flanders]]. He plays the song at [[Moe's Tavern]], and when David Byrne comes in, he likes the song so much, that he wants to produce and record the song. "[[Everybody Hates Ned Flanders]]" becomes so popular that even William Shatner does a cover of it. This leads to mass publicity, which annoys the Simpsons, who want to avoid it. They find a brochure for a dude ranch, the Lazy I Ranch, and go there.

The family arrives at the [[Lazy I Ranch]], owned by the [[Rich Texan]], who tells [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] that the ranch was built on cruelty to animals and oppression of indigenous people, which annoys her. It makes her want to leave, until she meets a cowhand, named Luke Stetson, who shares her views on the ranch. The Family meet a man called Cookie who shows them round and sets out some dinner. Homer and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] also have their own adventure when they meet a tribe of Native Americans who want a dam removed so they can reclaim their land. They are confronted by beavers, but manage to battle them back, destroy the dam, and give the land back to the Native Americans. Meanwhile, Lisa thinks that Luke is off-limits, because she overhears him on the phone, promising a first dance to a girl, named Clara. When Lisa encounters her, she tricks her into going the wrong way. At the dance, Lisa finds out that Clara is Luke's sister. It's up to Lisa, Bart, and some surprising heroes to save Clara. It was a success, although Lisa was disappointed on Bart for destroying the beaver dam. However, when Lisa comes clean, Luke is offended and they separate. Meanwhile Homer asks Marge what has happed since they went into the car.Marge points to a grave to give an example that Cookie had died the previous Night. As the Simpsons return to [[Springfield]], they hear a self-deprecating cover version of the Andrea True Connection song "More, More, More", (entitled "Moe, Moe, Moe"), on the radio, sung by Moe and produced by [[wikipedia:David_Byrne|David Byrne]] (who Moe kidnaps earlier in the episode), and turn around to spend another week at the ranch.

"'''C.E. D'oh'''" is the fifteenth episode of [[Season 14]].

== Plot ==

On Valentine's Day, [[Homer]] wants to have sex with [[Marge]] but she is too tired for it, which disappoints Homer, who dejectedly leaves the house. He sees a billboard for a school offering courses. He goes to the school and takes a course on stripping for Marge , which Dr. Hibbert teaches, but he is thrown out for hogging the stripping oil and ends up in the Successmanship 101 class. The class teaches Homer how to succeed in the workplace.

It gives Homer inspiration, and he begins to investigate problems at the power plant, so he develops solutions to the problems, which are rejected by Mr. Burns, (who doesn't even read them.) This angers Homer and then he overhears Burns admit that the plant’s real owner is a canary. Homer and Bart, devise a plan to overthrow Burns by releasing the bird from its cage and sending it to the Canary Islands. Once they release the bird, Homer informs Mr Burns, that inspectors are visiting. Out of panic, Mr. Burns, names Homer the new owner of the plant. Homer reveals that it was a trick, which angers Mr Burns. As Homer’s first act as the new Boss he fires Mr Burns, (who travels to a middle eastern country where everything is made of drugs, with Smither's to buy opium.)

However, Homer discovers there are problems with running the Plant. He has less time to do things with the family, which disappoints them greatly. One night, Mr. Burns visits Homer and shows him the people who he was too busy working to have good relationships with. He makes Homer understand how much he has missed his family. Homer then decides to quit. Burns drugs Homer and manages to cart him to the cemetery, where he attempts to encase him in the wall of a crypt. Unfortunately for Burns, he is too weak to carry each brick from the cart to the intended wall. By the time he manages to finish a couple of layers, it is daytime. Homer wakes up and steps easily over the few layers of bricks that Mr. Burns had painstakingly managed to cement in place. He tells Burns that the power plant is his again and walks away.

"'''Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington'''" is the fourteenth episode of the Simpsons<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[Season 14|fourteenth season]].

== Plot ==

The Simpsons are watching a episode of the "The Three Stooges", when the house begins to shake. Then they discover an aeroplane was flying dangerously close to their house; then they decide that the air traffic had been redirected. [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] complain to a
airport official, who tells them that the aeroplanes were rerouted away from nature reserves, to help protect the animals. But they were really redirected by [[Mayor Quimby]], so he can have peace when he is with his girlfriends.

The family live with the noise for the next three months, but then they decide they can't cope anymore. They then decide to move, and unsuccessfully sell the house to [[Apu]] and [[Ralph Wiggum]]. Then Homer and Marge complain to their local congressman, [[Horace Willcox]]. Horace decides that he wants to help them, but unfortunately, he suffers a heart attack and dies. While watching [[Krusty the Clown]], Bart gets the idea, for Krusty to run for Congress. The next day, Bart visits Krusty and asks him to run for Congress. Krusty seems reluctant at first, but he soon likes to the idea, when he realises that he could solve the problems that the government has plagued him with, such as taxes and immigration of his pet monkey. At the Republicans’ meeting, he nominates himself as a candidate for Congress. The other members are supportive and they agree with him.

Krusty’s campaign has a very bad start. He includes offensive jokes in his speeches and his opponent, John Armstrong, shows a sketch from Krusty’s show making fun of the UN. Desperate to have Krusty win the election, Lisa helps Krusty turn his campaign around by having him communicate with regular families and citizens, in a bid to get them to vote for him. Krusty’s popularity soars and he wins the election.

After taking the oath, he tries to bring up the topic of the air traffic over Evergreen Terrace. However, none of the other congressman ignore him, and tell him that new congressman aren't very important.

Later, the Simpsons find Krusty in a bar, and he is getting drunk. He feels that he’s failed them, but they convince him to stand up for his beliefs. This encouraged him, but he ends up taking to a empty room.

With the janitor's help, they blackmail a key congressman with a videotape, which has footage of him abusing the free mail policy. Homer helps by getting a congressman drunk. Finally, during a session in Congress, the janitor and Lisa, with Homer’s drunken diversion, place the Air Traffic Bill under a bill giving orphans American flags. When the bill comes up for discussion, the blackmailed congressman immediately consents, and Congressman Beauregard, in a drunken stupor, consents to the bill. The legislation is then passed, and Krusty celebrates.

The Simpson's are very pleased at the aeroplane redirection and they are also pleased that they don't have planes flying over their house.

Whilst at a cotillion after observing a yearly phenomenon that happens on the third Tuesday of May known as the 'Returning of the Stinging Red Jellyfish,' Ned Flanders realises he can no longer bare his single life and goes for a sad walk around the town to the tune of Debussy's Clair De Lune. Back at the Leftorium a woman enters the store and flatters Ned with an offer of a date using the pseudonym Selma Fitzgerald. Ned ventures out only to learn from a poster she is a sultry movie star called Sarah Sloane, he then proclaims he has a date with a movie star much to the disbelief of an Irish mall guard. Homer then gives advice to Ned followed by the date where she is confronted by Lenny asking for a mould of her breasts. On the pier front the new couple kiss. The following morning a tabloid contacts Homer and swarms of journalists rally at Flander's house questioning the legitimacy of his moustache and the status of their relationship.

The two then attend a dinner with the Simpsons only to be confronted by more Paparazzi and Sarah's ex boyfriend Rainier Wolfcastle. Sarah asks Ned to join her in Hollywood but Ned declines the offer as he can only picture a football - teamless town with drug abuse, alcoholism, sleazy adult productions, Jewish actors, and heretic publications. Sarah stays in Springfield only to be constantly bothered by the aspiring male population, namingly Moe, Chief Wiggum & Apu. Sarah then attends an all Girl Book Club with the former members of the Cherry Red Tomato girl group which has author Helen Fielding at their meeting. Ned then becomes angry at Sarah's revealing fashion which is commented on by half the town at a concert; Sarah then pressures Ned for sex but in line with his religious beliefs Ned pressures Sarah for marriage, their instant split is witnessed by participants of a fun run and it makes news within minutes. Whilst gardening Ned receives an offer form West Side property mogul Cookie Kwan. The episode ends with Helen Fielding being chased in a cartoon style frame with jazz music as the titles then roll to the Jellyfish song from the cotillion earlier.

=== Seven Sister Colleges parody ===
*This episode is often noted for its famous parody of the Seven Sister Colleges (as they were prior to the 1970s; Vassar College is now coeducational and Radcliffe college merged with Harvard) who appear to Lisa Simpson in a dream: <ref>[http://www.mtholyoke.edu/cic/about/12812.shtml Seven Sisters, Mount Holyoke College]</ref>

=== General ===
*While opening the school, Principal Skinner sings a parody of ''[[wikipedia:School's_Out_(song)|School's Out]]'' by Alice Cooper.
*The song played during the ''Spelling Bee Olympics'' is "[[wikipedia:I_Put_a_Spell_on_You|I Put a Spell on You]]" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
*Another song played during [[wikipedia:Olympic Games|the Olympics]] was "Get Ready to Rumble" (original: "2 unlimited - Get ready for this"). This song was also played in the episode "[[Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass]]".
*The lawsuit against the ''Spellympics'' by the Olympics (for using -lympics) is a parody of the law made by Congress which says that the Olympic Committee can sue anyone who uses "Olympics" or makes an arrangement of five rings.
*This episode contains some ''[[wikipedia:Grateful_Dead|Grateful Dead]]'' references. "Ribheads" are touring the country in devotion to the Ribwich (as opposed to Deadheads) and end up in San Francisco. At the end of the episode, Krusty says, "What a long strange product rollout it's been".
*[[Booberella]], the vampiric hostess appearing at the beginning of the episode, is a parody of television personalities [[wikipedia:Maila Nurmi|Vampira]] and/or [[wikipedia:Elvira,_Mistress_of_the_Dark|Elvira]].
*The title of the episode is a reference to the 1981 book ''[[wikipedia:I'm_Dancing_As_Fast_As_I_Can|I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can]]'', by Barbara Gordon. The book describes Gordon's addiction to prescription medication and her rehabilitation. This episode depicts Lisa's addiction to fame and longing for acceptance.

*The [[Ribwich]] is an obvious parody of the [[wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]] [[wikipedia:McRib|McRib]] sandwich, which is also noted for its intermittent availability and the less than obvious origin of its meat.
*Portions of this episode were a parody of a Darren Aronofsky film called ''[[wikipedia:Requiem_for_a_Dream|Requiem for a Dream]]''. The use of a 'hip-hop montage' around a central theme, in the film and this episode, addiction (the Ribwich); also the visuals when Homer eats the Ribwich (dialating pupils, blood pulsing through veins, etc).

'''Booberella''' is a TV personality who is supposed to be a vampire. She constantly tells the audience to look at her boobs. This might be why she is called Booberella. Judging by her costume and the fact that she hosts late night monster movies, she is an obvious parody of [[Wikipedia:Elvira, Mistress of the Dark|Elvira]] and [[Wikipedia:Vampira|Vampira]]. Her name could also be a spoof of movie/television superhero [[Wikipedia:Barbarella|Barbarella]].

== Appearance ==
'''Boobarella''' is an ample-chested vampire-looking woman.

== Her name ==
Everyone knows her as 'Booberella' but some very much doubt that is her real name. Of course though, if it is, this might be one of the reasons why she goes on about her boobs a lot. She thinks her name tells some of the story and she has to do the rest!

== Use of boobs ==
” She is well aware of her assets, and often makes reference to them on the rare occasion she appears on TV. "We'll be right back! Then you can see more of my booooooooobs!". In another episode, when asked a technical question by [[Kent Brockman]], after a long pause she responds with "Boobs!"

== Creation ==
" Her character is a takeoff of [[wikipedia:Elvira,_Mistress_of_the_Dark|Elvira]], a character made known by Cassandra Peterson, (who made many comments about her boobs), herself a take-off on [[wikipedia:Maila Nurmi|Vampira]]. Her name is seemingly a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Vampirella|Vampirella]] and [[Wikipedia:Barbarella|Barbarella]].

== Love Life ==
In “[[Homerazzi]],” she is seen dating [[Duffman]].

== Family ==
In "[[Fraudcast News]]", it is revealed that she is the daughter of an employee in the nuclear plant's Accounting department, Bill.

"'''I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can'''" is the twelfth episode of The Simpsons' fourteenth season. It is incorrectly displayed in the opening scene as the 301st episode.

== Plot ==
[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] is watching a program featuring a well-endowed female vampire, [[Booberella]]. [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] sees a commercial for a new brand of [[Krusty Burger]], called the "Ribwich", a sandwich where the meat consists of an unidentified animal, even the ribs are made of meat. He is sold immediately and can't wait for it to come to [[Springfield (The Simpsons)|Springfield]]. The next day, the vacations are over, and the kids are back in school. [[Principal Seymour Skinner|Principal Skinner]] couldn't be happier (though Groundskeeper Willie is less than enthusiastic after his paycut). During the assembly, Skinner announces that the school is holding a spelling bee for all the students. At the end of it all, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] wins it and gets a "scale model of the planet Mars", which in actuality is just a kickball with the word "Mars" written on it; but, more importantly, she is selected to go to the state Spelling Bee finals. If she wins that, she will make it to the "Spellympics" Olympics of Spelling.

Lisa is excited at the prospect of winning a state Spelling Bee and that learning does have its merits. Later, as Homer walks around town, he sees that the Ribwich has come to the Krusty Burger in Springfield. After sampling one, he gets addicted and eats many, drooling all over the place. Lisa, meanwhile, wins the state Spelling Bee (cheered on by her own cheering section) and qualifies for the Spellympics, to be held in Calgary. [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] suggests they celebrate by watching a movie, but Homer says he can't make it as he has "important daddy business", which turns out to be going to Krusty Burger with [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] and [[Carl Carlson|Carl]] to eat more Ribwiches. Unfortunately, the Ribwiches are no longer in stock as it was only a limited-time-only sandwich. Homer is shattered, but a "Ribhead" (a fan of the Ribwich) tells him that it is being tested in other markets and shows him a tour schedule. Homer decides to follow a group of Ribheads as they track the release of the Ribwich.

At the Spellympics, hosted by George Plimpton, Lisa wins the semi-finals and secures a spot in the finals, but Homer says he still cannot attend, as he wants to eat Ribwiches in the last release in San Francisco. The other two finalists are Sun Moon, an Asian girl, and Alex, a really cute little boy with big round glasses, whom everyone likes. George Plimpton takes Lisa aside and gives her a speech about the low ratings that Spelling Bees generate, thanks to the dominance of reality shows. He tells her to take a dive and let Alex win. She is shocked and refuses to do it. George tells her that if she does it, she will be given a free scholarship into any Seven Sisters college of her choice; plus, she gets a free George Plimpton hotplate. Now, Lisa is torn between wanting to win the Spellympics and free college.

That night, she dreams of the Seven Sisters (in an ancient Greek setting), where each Seven Sister college tries to lure her to her college (Plimpton also appears to add "and a hotplate!"). She wakes up and asks Marge whether they can afford to send her to college. Marge is unsure, but promises to do whatever it takes to get Lisa into college. Despite Marge's reassurances, Lisa is still uneasy.

At San Francisco, Homer pigs out on all the Ribwiches that he can find. Suddenly, a limousine pulls up and Krusty pops out of the sun-roof and informs all the Ribheads that the Ribwich can no longer be made, as the animal from which it is made is now extinct, mentioning that it was made of a small animal with "more legs (than a cow)." He tosses the last one into the crowd. Homer catches it and fights off all the other Ribheads. A few Ribheads make offers. When one Italian Ribhead promises him "the lease-a of my car", Homer suddenly remembers Lisa and the Spellympics. He gives the Italian his Ribwich, grabs the car keys and takes off in guy's sportscar, giving the Italian "buyer's remorse" after finishing the Ribwich.

Meanwhile, the Spellympics finals are underway. Lisa is still unsure about what to do. George Plimpton deliberately asks Sun Moon to spell "whether/weather" and confuses her with the sentence (he uses them both), and disqualifies her when she starts "W-E...". Next is Alex's turn. He gets the word "rigged" and spells it correctly. Finally, Lisa steps up and is asked to spell "intransigence". She is about to start, when Homer shows up and shouts encouragingly at her. Lisa, happy that Homer came, tells everyone that she was told to take a dive and proceeds to spell the word, but she spells it "I-N-T-R-A-N-S-I-G-A-N-C-E". She is disqualified and George tells her that now she gets nothing (for squealing) and leaves.

On the way back to Springfield, Lisa is crestfallen at having lost the Spellympics. Homer tries to cheer her up, but she feels that she has let down the whole town. However, on reaching home, she finds that half the town has assembled at the Simpson residence to felicitate her. Mayor Quimby tells her that even though she did not win first prize, she has done better than anyone else in Springfield (even outachieving the Springfield woman who once dated Charles Grodin!) They have even carved out her likeness in a mountain nearby. Lisa is thrilled to bits.
