Maggie is impressionable and easily influenced by what she sees around her. She once hit [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] on the head with a mallet, shot a suction dart at his picture and brandished a pencil in imitation of ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show|Itchy and Scratchy]]''. Despite her age, Maggie is a formidable marksman, as seen in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]" and "[[Papa's Got a Brand New Badge]]," where she is able to shoot the fingers off of a group of mobsters in rapid succession with a rifle. During the early seasons of the show, Maggie's equivalent of a hallmark or calling card would be to trip over her clothing and fall on her face while trying to walk, causing a loud smack on the floor. Indeed, throughout the Tracey Ullman shorts, Maggie fell down a total of 39 times.

She would later have brief dialogue in [[Treehouse of Horror IX]], voiced by [[Harry Shearer]], who used his [[Kang & Kodos|Kang]] voice. In earlier episodes, [[Yeardley Smith]] did many of Maggie's squeaks and occasional speaking parts, although in later seasons her parts were done by [[Nancy Cartwright]].

Personalized Talking Astrolabe.png

The Personalized Talking Astrolabe is a gold-plated astrolabe.

While out Christmas shopping at Springfield Heights Promenade, Homer spotted the Personalized Talking Astrolabe in the window of Things Unnecessary. Homer immediately became enamored with the object and went into the shop, where an employee showed it to him. However, he looked at the price tag of $500 and realized that if he bought it, he wouldn't have any money left to buy a Christmas tree for the family. The Astrolabe then told Homer that it was Margaret Cho's birthday, which Homer said was the birthday he always forgot. He then decided to buy the Astrolabe.

Due to buying the Astrolabe for himself, Homer had to take the family to get an awful tree in a bad part of town. The tree he purchased immediately caught fire and had to be extinguished. The family started realizing that something was wrong because they should have had enough money for a good tree. The Astrolabe, which Homer had wrapped up, then called out the time in Montreal and said that the moon was waxing that night. Homer tried to play it off as Maggie's first words, but Marge found the gift-wrapped Astrolabe and realized that Homer had wasted their money on something extravagant for himself. Lisa called Homer selfish, and the Astrolabe then told him it was not returnable and started a three-hour smoke alarm test...
