- This article is about the list of commercials involving Butterfinger. For the Butterfinger within the show, see Butterfinger (chocolate).
Butterfinger is a popular peanut-butter and chocolate candy bar produced by Ferrero (formerly by Nestlé). They are Bart's favorite candy, as he has starred almost every commercials for Butterfinger that have featured The Simpsons since 1988 up through today.
Many of the commercials featured Homer trying to get Bart's Butterfinger, but would be one-upped by Bart each time. Each commercial ended with Bart saying the candy's tagline - "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!" (in the late 1990s, this was changed to "Bite My Butterfinger!" which was said once by Lisa and from 2000 to 2001, this was changed to "Nothin' like a Butterfinger!").
Each commercial in Butterfinger Ice Cream Nuggets begins with the announcer saying - "And try new Butterfinger Ice Cream Nuggets" (except the "Maggie's Party" commercial which ended with Bart saying the candy's tagline - "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!").
Each commercial in Butterfinger BB's ended with Bart saying the candy's tagline - "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!" or the announcer saying "And try new Butterfinger BB's" (in the mid 1990s, a prefix saying "BB's" and the late 1990s have say "Butterfinger BB's").
Each commercial in Butterfinger Ice Cream Bars begins with the announcer saying - "And try new Butterfinger Ice Cream Bars" (except the "Box" commercial if ended with Bart saying the candy's tagline - "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!").
Most of these advertisements have been released on The Simpsons DVD sets as bonus features along with other commercials.
For the first time since 2001, The Simpsons and Butterfinger have reunited and formed the "Who Stole Bart's Bar?" contest, in which competitors must find, from the list of suspects and clues, who stole Bart's Butterfinger. Prizes include a trip to Los Angeles, a Homer snowboard, and a Bart skateboard. Butterfinger was referenced in "Simpsorama" when Lisa used them to trap the mutants.
