Character Information
|
Sherri is the sister of Terri, and is the eldest of the twins by two seconds. 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]. 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] She also has a "boy crazy" cousin who has a crush on Bart.
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. Once they said her butt was too fat causing Lisa to go on a diet.

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
- Matt Groening said Sherri is always on the left in an episode commentary.
- Both she and Terri, 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 romantic crush on one of the Simpsons.
