Difference between revisions of "Terri Mackleberry"

Revision as of 15:25, June 9, 2010

Terri is the younger sister of Sherri. She is in the same class with Bart at the Springfield Elementary School.

They are quite bright students (they even have their own twin language) and are often very conniving and mean, even to each other. When it comes to Bart they are quite stuck up, and never miss an opportunity to berate him. Bart appears to have a crush on one of them ^[1], but Homer states that Terri is the one that Bart has a crush on ^[2]. One of the twins stated that her sister had a crush on Bart it is unknown if this is the truth or if it is just teasing ^[3]. She also has a "boy crazy" cousin who has a crush on Bart. (Bart feels affection for her and she may also feel affection for him)

When it comes to Lisa they are just as inconsistent. One minute they will be friends on the schoolyard playing together and the next they will be ganging up on her. More often than not it is the latter, usually not including Lisa because she is too smart or too weird.

Non Canon Appearance

The contents of this article or section are considered to be non-canon and therefore may not have actually happened or existed.

It is revealed that in the future, Nelson Muntz simultaneously dated and impregnated both Terri and her sister, who bore him four children (two sets of twins, naturally) shortly before Nelson's high school graduation. He abandoned them during Bart's graduation party, using the same statement his father said to him before abandoning him ^[4].

Behind the Scenes

Creation

They have similarities to The Grady Twins (ghost girls) Danny sees in Stanley Kubrick's adaptation The Shining, of Stephen King's The Shining novel of the same name. In a deleted scene of the parody of the Shining called "Treehouse of Horror V" they are ghost twins seen by Bart. They also take on this role in The Simpsons Game were in a ;game engine elevator they are heard saying "Come Play With Us Simpsons".

Trivia

• Terri is the one on the right as it was stated by Matt Groening that Sherri is always on the left.
• Both she and Sherri, bear some resemblance to the twins Selma and Patty Bouvier, as both hold an enjoyment for tormenting the males of the Simpson family, but for different reasons, and have a close relative who have a crush on one of the Simpsons.
