Character Information
|
Sherri and Terri are Twins with long purple hair. They are in the same class with Bart at the Springfield Elementary School.
History
Sherri and Terri are identical twin sisters and are classmates with Bart in Mrs. Krabappel's fourth grade class. They are quite bright students and 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]. Sherri referred to Bart as an ugly, smelly dork, but was convinced by Homer to go on a date with Bart after he told her that neither she nor Bart could do much better. 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[2]. Another time Homer openly addressed Terri as "the one Bart has a crush on".
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.
Sherri and Terri are also seen in the introduction. In the scene where Lisa is seen playing the saxaphone, Sherri and Terri are sitting together holding their flutes, where in the new HD opening they are playing on Nintendo DSs.
Family
In "Homer's Odyssey" it is revealed that their father is Homer's supervisor at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He fires Homer for causing an accident while waving to Bart from a cart during a school tour of the plant. Homer, however, had the last laugh when he was promoted above the twins' father to safety inspector. Their mother is shown in "Bart Sells His Soul" and looks just like her daughters. In Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish", their grandmother is seen, who looks just like her daughter and like her granddaughters.
Possible Future
In the episode Future-Drama set "eight years in the future", it is revealed that Nelson Muntz simultaneously dated and impregnated both of the twins, 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.
Creation
They have similarities to the 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 , also they take on this role in The Simpsons Game were in a cheatrix elevator they are heard saying "Come Play With Us Bart"
