[[File:Nelson Every Simpsons Ever.png|thumb|left|250px]]
 +
Nelson was first shown a bully and arch-nemesis of [[Bart]].<ref>"[[Bart the General]]"</ref> Over the years, Nelson has terrorized virtually everyone in [[Springfield]], and regularly points and laughs at people's misfortune. Nelson shows the occasional glimpse of humanity however, and people have occasionally warmed to him; [[Lisa]] briefly had a crush on him but broke up after he lied to her,<ref>"[[Lisa's Date with Density]]"</ref> and befriends Bart.<ref>"[[The Haw-Hawed Couple]]"</ref>

Nelson represents [[Japan]] in the school's [[Model U.N. Club]] club.<ref>"[[Das Bus]]"</ref> In various occasions, he gives off the impression that he is a lot smarter than he may first appear. Nelson often points out painfully obvious things to adults and kids alike that take them longer to grasp. Often, Nelson does a class assignment which is implied to be of high quality; Sadly he is always brushed off by the teachers before he gets to show them his work. Nelson is also a natural athlete. As the team quarterback for the Pee-Wee football team, Nelson also on one occasion catches his own pass and plows through the opposing team with extreme ease. He almost single-handedly carried the entire Springfield Pee-Wee football team.<ref>"[[Bart Star]]"</ref> He also seemed to have a surprising amount of expertise on planning, as he tells [[Marge]] when she says she wants to take down Mixed Fighting that she'll need parents, sympathetic school officials and clergymen, a place to meet, snacks, staplers and a phonetree; (which he considers to be invaluable in regards to organizing a protest) to even have a chance at taking down an entire sport.

== Name ==
+
Nelson is also a fan of many unexpected things, such as [[Andy Williams]] and [[Snow White]]. He is also an expert in the proper preparation of {{W|Huckleberries}} (Although he often quickly changes the subject to beating a kid up when one of the teachers or even [[Principal Skinner]] walks by, for unknown reasons.). Nelson is apparently a master of disguise, fooling even [[Bart]] and [[Ned Flanders]].<ref>"[[The Monkey Suit]]"</ref> He eats tadpoles for brunch and lunch.<ref>"[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]"</ref>
−
According to the DVD commentary on the [[The Simpsons (season 5)|season five]] ''The Simpsons'' episode "[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]", Nelson's first name comes from the wrestling hold, the full nelson. However, others stated that it was named after actor Judd Nelson, who portrayed John Bender. Both Bender and Nelson have a similar appearance, personality and delinquencies.
 
  
−
==Profile==
+
Nelson has been known to beat people up (usually Bart) for arguably noble reasons. Bart (truthfully) claimed to have been [[Krusty the Clown]]'s assistant; Nelson punched him in the stomach, saying "That's for taking credit for other people's work!".<ref>"[[Bart Gets Famous]]"</ref> Nelson also hurt him after Bart wrecked [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s vehicle at a carnival ("You wrecked Hitler's car! What did he ever do to you?!"). Bart also got beaten for "Wasting teacher's valuable time!", after constantly raised his hand with the wrong answer to answer a question [[Mrs. Krabappel]] asked, and received pain for "Besmirching an innocent girl's name!" after trying to flaunt his relationship with [[Jessica Lovejoy]] to the other kids.
−
Nelson serves as a symbol of youth denied its potential by economic strife and social rejection. Both [[Marge Simpson]] and [[Lisa Simpson]] have picked up on this, Marge adopting him as a surrogate son, and Lisa dating him briefly until discovering that he lied to her. However, Nelson retains a degree of deference to them.  
 
  
−
Nelson is notorious for his derivation of pleasure from the misfortune of others, invariably accompanied by his trademark "''Ha'' Ha!" laugh; often, he makes his victim inflict self-punishment while yelling remarks like "Stop hitting yourself!", "Stop butlering yourself!", "Stop zapping yourself!", "Stop endangering yourself!", "Why you throwin' tomatoes at yourself?!" Usually it is Milhouse and Martin who are subjected to this type of cruelty, although Nelson once described Bart as "Having spiky hair, soft kidneys, and always hitting himself".
+
In contrast to the above noble attacks, when [[Milhouse]] claims to care about the environment in order to impress Lisa, Nelson stands over him with a fist raised and demands he "Say global warming is a myth!" Milhouse does so, and Nelson punches him telling him "That's for selling out your beliefs!" <ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref>
  
−
His family life, though always dysfunctional, is inconsistent; while some early episodes claimed his mom left the family and/or his dad "went nuts," the canon story that eventually evolved is that he lives with his cash poor mom, who got fired from Hooters and owns a dilapidated house. She is depicted as a jailbird, a whore, a stripper or something similar. In [[Sleeping with the Enemy]], she reveals she won the role of Lady Macbeth in the Shakespeare]] play by sleeping with the director, and saying "I don't have to take my top off, but I do anyway!". Nelson is also a cigarette smoker and has a taste for things that aren't meant to be edible such as drywall, tadpoles, bird eggs, and nicotine patches (he thought that they were mini quesadillas). Nelson's dad appeared to have left after apparently going to the store to buy cigarettes. As a result, Nelson has hallucinated that his father has come back to him. Nelson's dad returns in the 16th season episode, [[Sleeping with the Enemy]]. It turns out that he did not leave Nelson deliberately; he bit into a chocolate bar, not knowing it had peanuts and had an allergic reaction. Looking like the elephant man, he ran out of the store and encountered a circus, that made him a part of their freakshow.  At performances circus attendees threw peanuts at him, which perpetuated his reaction, never allowing him to return to normal. When the circus came through [[Springfield]], [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] recognized him and brought him home to rid himself of Nelson (who had been taken into the Simpson home by [[Marge|Marge Simpson]]).
+
It is revealed that Nelson is of German descent.<ref>"[[Little Big Girl]]"</ref> However, in another time, Nelson picks on [[Üter Zörker]] for being German, during a time when the town was in an anti-illegal immigrant hysteria, although he also may have done this to avoid being picked on for being German.<ref>"[[Much Apu About Nothing]]"</ref>
  
−
In one episode, Nelson represents Japan at the school's Model UN club. Another notable aspect of Nelson is that in various episodes, he seems to give off the impression that he is a lot smarter than he may first appear. Nelson often points out painfully obvious things to adults and kids alike that take them longer to grasp. Another example is a running joke where Nelson does a class assignment which is implied to be of high quality. However, he is always brushed off by the teachers before he gets to show them his work. On the other hand, he does often demonstrate stupidity. When Skinner tricks Bart and the bullies by telling them they are getting bikes but instead locks them in the closet, Nelson still believes he is going to get a mountain bike.
+
At times Nelson is depicted as having master answer sheets to various tests and assignments at school. He has an "office" located in a toilet stall where he has the answer sheets hidden in the toilet cistern.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets an "A"]]"</ref> He also has a framed picture of himself mounted on the cubicle wall with "Employee Of The Month" stenciled below it. Ironically, he once mentioned to have a desire to get into event planning when he grows up.
  
−
As well as Nelson's potential competency at school work, Nelson is also a natural athlete. In addition to physical toughness (He once blocked a punch from Jimbo intended for Bart and twisted his arm behind his back), Nelson also plays a variety of sports throughout the series. Although he lacks the great dexterity of Bart, his natural prowess compensates on multiple occasions. In the episode ''[[Bart Star]]'', Nelson almost singlehandedly carries the entire Springfield Pee-Wee football team. As the team quarterback, he also on one occasion catches his own pass and plows through the opposing team with extreme ease. Nelson is also a fan of many unexpected things, such as Andy Williams (Revealed in the episode, [[Bart on the Road]]) and ''Snow White'' (Revealed in the episode, [[The Dad Who Knew Too Little]]). He is also an expert in the proper preparation of huckleberries (also probably a reference to Nelson's similarities to Huckleberry Finn, whom he portrayed in the episode, [[Simpsons Tall Tales]]). According to the episode, ''[[The Monkey Suit]]'', Nelson is apparently a master of disguise, fooling even Bart and Ned Flanders.
+
== Family ==
 +
Nelson's parents are [[Mr. Muntz]] and Mrs. Muntz. His grandfather is a Judge.<ref>"[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]"</ref>
  
−
Although Nelson is still as violent as ever, he has also been known to beat people up for arguably noble reasons (Usually it is Bart who is subjected to this type of punishment). In one episode, he punched Bart in the stomach, saying "That's for taking credit for other people's work!", when Bart (truthfully) claimed to have been Krusty's assistant (The show's credits were too small to read to prove this claim) or when Bart wrecked Hitler's vehicle at a carnival ("You wrecked Hitler's car! What did he ever do to you?!"). He also beat up Bart for "Wasting teacher's valuable time!", when Bart constantly raised his hand with the wrong answer to answer a question Mrs. Krabappel asked, and "Besmirching an innocent girl's name!" when Bart tried to flaunt his relationship with [[Jessica Lovejoy]] to the other kids, although she ignored him. However, in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', when Milhouse claims to care about the environment in order to impress Lisa, Nelson stands over him with a fist raised and demands he "Say global warming is a myth." Milhouse does so, and Nelson punches him anyway telling him "That's for selling out your beliefs!" Nelson himself was subjected to a beating at the hands of Kearney, Jimbo, and Dolph when he used the word "guff" instead of the s-word.
+
Nelson lives in a dilapidated house with his mother, who he learned his trademark laugh from. The negligent [[Mrs. Muntz]] works on the fringes of the sex industry, either as a waitress at Hooters or in a topless bar.
  
−
Although Nelson is usually portrayed as straight, in the episode, "[[Smart and Smarter]]", Nelson called Bart gay which led to Lisa pointing out that accusations of homosexuality are made by people trying to cover up their own latent homosexuality. After this, he panicked and jumped out of the bus while shouting "Bullies rule!" In the episode "[[Little Big Girl]]", it is revealed that Nelson is of German descent. However, ironically, in the episode "[[Much Apu About Nothing]]", Nelson picks on [[Uter]] for being German. At times he is depicted as having master answer sheets to various tests and assignments at school. In one episode he has an "office" located in a toilet cubicle where he has the answer sheets hidden in the toilet cistern. He also has a framed picture of himself mounted on the cubicle wall with "Employee Of The Month" stenciled below it. Nelson's most embarrassing moment was in the episode ''[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]'', when he was forced to march down the street with his pants pulled all the way down to his ankles to a jeering crowd for his years of torment, while Bart and Milhouse squirt ketchup and mustard on him from a highway overpass. In the end, Nelson has come a long way in development from a generic bully terrorizing Bart and other [[Springfield Elementary School]] children, to a rather complex character.
+
It is shown many times that Nelson's father abandoned him and his mother at an early age when he "went to pick up some cigarettes". Nelson's father appears as the children's soccer coach and awards Nelson with a free trip to [[Pele]]'s Soccer and Acting School.<ref>"[[Brother from the Same Planet]]"</ref>
  
−
== Relationships with other characters ==
+
At one time, Nelson is adopted by Marge Simpson. To get rid of him, Bart finds Nelson's father and brings him to meet Nelson. It turned out that he did not leave Nelson deliberately; he bit into a chocolate bar, not knowing it had peanuts and had an [[Allergy|allergic]] reaction. Looking like the Elephant Man, he ran out of the store and encountered a circus that made him a part of its freak show. At performances, circus attendees threw peanuts at him, which perpetuated his reaction, never allowing him to return to normal. When the circus came through Springfield, [[Bart]] recognized him and brought him home to rid himself of Nelson (who had been taken into the Simpson home by Marge).<ref>"[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]"</ref>
−
Although in the first season, Nelson seemed to be [[Bart Simpson|Bart]]'s antagonist, he becomes Bart's friend in later episodes. Although still prone to violence, he occasionally hangs out with Bart and his outcast friends such as [[Milhouse Van Houten]] and even common bullying target [[Martin Prince]], more often than delinquents [[Jimbo Jones|Jimbo]], [[Dolph Starbeam|Dolph]] and [[Kearney]]. Many have noted that around season 6, Nelson is not seen with the bully trio very often, hinting that his friendship with them is superficial. Nelson has many other moments where he displays his hidden good nature, such as his brief amorous relationship with Lisa. Although he cannot control his delinquent tendencies, he treats her with respect and even tries to change for her, although both of them realize that he is not being true to himself by doing so. In [[Lisa's Date With Density]], Nelson kisses Lisa, only to be berated by Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph, who believe that kissing girls is gay despite the fact that Jimbo kissed Laura Powers in [[New Kid on the Block]]. He also helps Lisa punish Sherri and Terri for tormenting Lisa about her butt. Another curious example of his "good side" is with Martin, a boy whom Nelson picks on perhaps more so than any other kid in town. Despite the utter cruelty, there are occasional hints that Nelson does not harbor any hate towards Martin, and does not want to pick on him. In the episode, ''[[I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can]]'', both Nelson and Martin attend Space Camp and it is implied that Martin had helped Nelson quite a bit and the two may have been very friendly. Due to the peer pressure of maintaining his bad-boy image at school however, he seems to deliberately go back to his antagonism toward a rather dismayed Martin.

The episode ''[[Future-Drama]]'' depicts Nelson to have dated and impregnated identical twin sisters [[Sherri and Terri]], becoming the father to two sets of twins. He then claims to be going out to the store for a pack of cigarettes, and then ran away when the twins questioned that the excuse he gave was the very same excuse that Nelson's father gave when he ran away from Nelson.

At first having two cronies he called [[The Weasels]], Nelson teamed up with [[Jimbo]], [[Dolph]] and [[Kearney]]. Nelson is not seen with the bully trio very often, hinting that his friendship with them is superficial.

Nelson himself was subjected to a beating at the hands of Kearney and Jimbo at the racetrack when he used the word "guff" instead of "shit".<ref>"[[Saddlesore Galactica]]"</ref> However, Nelson has shown to be a lot stronger than the other bullies, when protecting Bart.<ref>"[[The Haw-Hawed Couple]]"</ref>

=== Lisa Simpson ===
 +
Nelson has many other moments where he displays his hidden good nature, such as his brief amorous relationship with Lisa. Although he cannot control his delinquent tendencies, he treats her with respect and even tries to change for her, although both of them realize that he is not being true to himself by doing so. Nelson kisses Lisa, only to be berated by Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph, who believe that kissing girls is gay (despite the fact that Jimbo kissed [[Laura Powers]]).<ref>"[[Lisa's Date with Density]]"</ref> He also helps Lisa punish [[Sherri]] and [[Terri]] for tormenting Lisa about her butt. Their romantic relationship has been referred to several times, most notably when Lisa invests in Nelson's business venture. Which ends with Nelson taking Lisa rollerblading and the pair holding hands, hinting at a possible future romance.<ref>"[[Loan-a Lisa]]"</ref>
 +
 +
=== Martin Prince ===
 +
Another curious example of his "good side" is with Martin, a boy whom Nelson picks on perhaps more so than any other kid in town. Despite the utter cruelty, there are occasional hints that Nelson does not harbor any hate towards Martin, and only bullies him to maintain his 'tough guy' reputation. Both Nelson and Martin attend Space Camp and it is implied that Martin had helped Nelson quite a bit and the two may have been very friendly.<ref>"[[I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can]]"</ref>
 +
When it is believed that Martin has died after accidentally falling over a cliff, Nelson seeks out to learn the truth and find Martin's killers. When it is revealed that Martin is alive, Nelson mocks and punches him, but also states that he is glad Martin is not dead.<ref>"[[Dial "N" for Nerder]]"</ref> When Lisa tries to bribe him to not rat her out by offering to get back together with him, he denies it.
 +
While helping rescue the Springfield Lemon Tree, which is in the hands of some kids from Shelbyville, Nelson saves Martin from getting beaten up by a Shelbyville kid, even though he is clearly embarrassed by doing it.<ref>"[[Lemon of Troy]]"</ref>
 +
 +
== Physical appearance ==
 +
Nelson has light brown hair and wears a short-sleeved light pink shirt with a light blue dirty, torn vest. Nelson's front teeth are false, and on a removable plate.<ref>"[[Girls Just Want to Have Sums]]"</ref>
 +
 +
== Catchphrases ==
 +
Nelson's catch phrases are "Ha-ha!" (also spelled as "Haw-haw!"), "Aw, crud!", "Smell ya later!", and "Stop hitting yourself!". The last phrase can be modified to suit the current situation/method of beating, resulting in phrases such as "Stop butlering yourself!", "Stop zapping yourself!" and "Stop endangering yourself!".

=== Future ===
 +
When Nelson is 18, he has dated and impregnated identical twin sisters [[Sherri]] and [[Terri]], becoming the father to [[Sherri and Terri's children|two sets of twins]]. He then claims to be going out to the store for a pack of cigarettes, and then abandons the children in a similar manner to his own father.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref>
 +
 +
When Nelson is 25, he is seen with a young son, [[Nelson Muntz, Jr.]], who may be one of the four twins. Nelson Jr. has learned to laugh and behave exactly like his father, shown when the two mock the cancellation of [[Hugh Parkfield]] and Lisa's wedding.<ref>"[[Lisa's Wedding]]"</ref>
 +
 +
At age 40, Nelson was shown to be a rich, powerful businessman (or mob boss) who owns a bar.<ref>"[[Bart to the Future]]"</ref>

In another future, Nelson and Lisa kept meeting up every 5 years and almost started dating each other. However, things happened between them that stopped that. Eventually, Nelson got a girlfriend, [[Rott]], who was a bounty hunter. However, they eventually split up. When Nelson was asked to be Jimbo's best man for his wedding to [[Sophie]], Lisa was a bridesmaid for Sophie. During the wedding, Nelson left and Lisa followed him, with the two deciding to finally get together.<ref>"[[When Nelson Met Lisa]]"</ref>

Biography[edit]

Nelson Every Simpsons Ever.png

Nelson was first shown a bully and arch-nemesis of Bart.[4] Over the years, Nelson has terrorized virtually everyone in Springfield, and regularly points and laughs at people's misfortune. Nelson shows the occasional glimpse of humanity however, and people have occasionally warmed to him; Lisa briefly had a crush on him but broke up after he lied to her,[5] and befriends Bart.[6]

Nelson represents Japan in the school's Model U.N. Club club.[7] In various occasions, he gives off the impression that he is a lot smarter than he may first appear. Nelson often points out painfully obvious things to adults and kids alike that take them longer to grasp. Often, Nelson does a class assignment which is implied to be of high quality; Sadly he is always brushed off by the teachers before he gets to show them his work. Nelson is also a natural athlete. As the team quarterback for the Pee-Wee football team, Nelson also on one occasion catches his own pass and plows through the opposing team with extreme ease. He almost single-handedly carried the entire Springfield Pee-Wee football team.[8] He also seemed to have a surprising amount of expertise on planning, as he tells Marge when she says she wants to take down Mixed Fighting that she'll need parents, sympathetic school officials and clergymen, a place to meet, snacks, staplers and a phonetree; (which he considers to be invaluable in regards to organizing a protest) to even have a chance at taking down an entire sport.

Nelson is also a fan of many unexpected things, such as Andy Williams and Snow White. He is also an expert in the proper preparation of Huckleberries (Although he often quickly changes the subject to beating a kid up when one of the teachers or even Principal Skinner walks by, for unknown reasons.). Nelson is apparently a master of disguise, fooling even Bart and Ned Flanders.[9] He eats tadpoles for brunch and lunch.[10]

Nelson has been known to beat people up (usually Bart) for arguably noble reasons. Bart (truthfully) claimed to have been Krusty the Clown's assistant; Nelson punched him in the stomach, saying "That's for taking credit for other people's work!".[11] Nelson also hurt him after Bart wrecked Hitler's vehicle at a carnival ("You wrecked Hitler's car! What did he ever do to you?!"). Bart also got beaten for "Wasting teacher's valuable time!", after constantly raised his hand with the wrong answer to answer a question Mrs. Krabappel asked, and received pain for "Besmirching an innocent girl's name!" after trying to flaunt his relationship with Jessica Lovejoy to the other kids.

In contrast to the above noble attacks, when Milhouse claims to care about the environment in order to impress Lisa, Nelson stands over him with a fist raised and demands he "Say global warming is a myth!" Milhouse does so, and Nelson punches him telling him "That's for selling out your beliefs!" [12]

It is revealed that Nelson is of German descent.[13] However, in another time, Nelson picks on Üter Zörker for being German, during a time when the town was in an anti-illegal immigrant hysteria, although he also may have done this to avoid being picked on for being German.[14]

At times Nelson is depicted as having master answer sheets to various tests and assignments at school. He has an "office" located in a toilet stall where he has the answer sheets hidden in the toilet cistern.[15] He also has a framed picture of himself mounted on the cubicle wall with "Employee Of The Month" stenciled below it. Ironically, he once mentioned to have a desire to get into event planning when he grows up.

Family[edit]

Nelson's parents are Mr. Muntz and Mrs. Muntz. His grandfather is a Judge.[16]

Nelson lives in a dilapidated house with his mother, who he learned his trademark laugh from. The negligent Mrs. Muntz works on the fringes of the sex industry, either as a waitress at Hooters or in a topless bar.

It is shown many times that Nelson's father abandoned him and his mother at an early age when he "went to pick up some cigarettes". Nelson's father appears as the children's soccer coach and awards Nelson with a free trip to Pele's Soccer and Acting School.[17]

At one time, Nelson is adopted by Marge Simpson. To get rid of him, Bart finds Nelson's father and brings him to meet Nelson. It turned out that he did not leave Nelson deliberately; he bit into a chocolate bar, not knowing it had peanuts and had an allergic reaction. Looking like the Elephant Man, he ran out of the store and encountered a circus that made him a part of its freak show. At performances, circus attendees threw peanuts at him, which perpetuated his reaction, never allowing him to return to normal. When the circus came through Springfield, Bart recognized him and brought him home to rid himself of Nelson (who had been taken into the Simpson home by Marge).[18]

Relationships with others[edit]

Fellow bullies[edit]

At first having two cronies he called The Weasels, Nelson teamed up with Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney. Nelson is not seen with the bully trio very often, hinting that his friendship with them is superficial. Nelson himself was subjected to a beating at the hands of Kearney and Jimbo at the racetrack when he used the word "guff" instead of "shit".[19] However, Nelson has shown to be a lot stronger than the other bullies, when protecting Bart.[20]

Victims[edit]

Although in the first season, Nelson seemed to be Bart's antagonist, he gradually moves through grudging respect to become Bart's friend, having become his "other best friend" besides Milhouse.[21] Nelson once described Bart as having "spikey hair, soft kidneys, and always hitting himself". Although still prone to violence, he occasionally hangs out with Bart and his outcast friends such as Milhouse Van Houten and even common bullying target Martin Prince, more often than the bullies. Bart is shown to be capable enough of beating Nelson up.[22][23]

Lisa Simpson[edit]

Nelson has many other moments where he displays his hidden good nature, such as his brief amorous relationship with Lisa. Although he cannot control his delinquent tendencies, he treats her with respect and even tries to change for her, although both of them realize that he is not being true to himself by doing so. Nelson kisses Lisa, only to be berated by Jimbo, Kearney, and Dolph, who believe that kissing girls is gay (despite the fact that Jimbo kissed Laura Powers).[24] He also helps Lisa punish Sherri and Terri for tormenting Lisa about her butt. Their romantic relationship has been referred to several times, most notably when Lisa invests in Nelson's business venture. Which ends with Nelson taking Lisa rollerblading and the pair holding hands, hinting at a possible future romance.[25]

Martin Prince[edit]

Another curious example of his "good side" is with Martin, a boy whom Nelson picks on perhaps more so than any other kid in town. Despite the utter cruelty, there are occasional hints that Nelson does not harbor any hate towards Martin, and only bullies him to maintain his 'tough guy' reputation. Both Nelson and Martin attend Space Camp and it is implied that Martin had helped Nelson quite a bit and the two may have been very friendly.[26] When it is believed that Martin has died after accidentally falling over a cliff, Nelson seeks out to learn the truth and find Martin's killers. When it is revealed that Martin is alive, Nelson mocks and punches him, but also states that he is glad Martin is not dead.[27] When Lisa tries to bribe him to not rat her out by offering to get back together with him, he denies it. While helping rescue the Springfield Lemon Tree, which is in the hands of some kids from Shelbyville, Nelson saves Martin from getting beaten up by a Shelbyville kid, even though he is clearly embarrassed by doing it.[28]

Physical appearance[edit]

Nelson has light brown hair and wears a short-sleeved light pink shirt with a light blue dirty, torn vest. Nelson's front teeth are false, and on a removable plate.[29]

Catchphrases[edit]

Nelson's catch phrases are "Ha-ha!" (also spelled as "Haw-haw!"), "Aw, crud!", "Smell ya later!", and "Stop hitting yourself!". The last phrase can be modified to suit the current situation/method of beating, resulting in phrases such as "Stop butlering yourself!", "Stop zapping yourself!" and "Stop endangering yourself!".

Non-canon[edit]

Future[edit]

When Nelson is 18, he has dated and impregnated identical twin sisters Sherri and Terri, becoming the father to two sets of twins. He then claims to be going out to the store for a pack of cigarettes, and then abandons the children in a similar manner to his own father.[30]

When Nelson is 25, he is seen with a young son, Nelson Muntz, Jr., who may be one of the four twins. Nelson Jr. has learned to laugh and behave exactly like his father, shown when the two mock the cancellation of Hugh Parkfield and Lisa's wedding.[31]

At age 40, Nelson was shown to be a rich, powerful businessman (or mob boss) who owns a bar.[32]

An elderly Nelson was seen laughing at Homer Simpson's grave.[33]

In another future, Nelson and Lisa kept meeting up every 5 years and almost started dating each other. However, things happened between them that stopped that. Eventually, Nelson got a girlfriend, Rott, who was a bounty hunter. However, they eventually split up. When Nelson was asked to be Jimbo's best man for his wedding to Sophie, Lisa was a bridesmaid for Sophie. During the wedding, Nelson left and Lisa followed him, with the two deciding to finally get together.[34]

The Simpsons arcade[edit]

Nelson appears in stage 5 carrying a slingshot for the Simpsons to use to fight Mr.Burns' goons.

The Simpsons Game[edit]

Nelson mostly appears whenever both playable characters are killed off to taunt the player.
