Butterfinger

A typical Butterfinger bar.

Butterfinger is a popular peanut-butter and chocolate candy bar. There have been 150 commercials for Butterfinger that have featured The Simpsons since 1988 up through today.

Many of the commercials featured Bart trying to get Homer's Butterfinger, but would be one-upped by Homer each time. Each commercial ended with Homer saying the candy's tagline - "No one better lay a finger on my Butterfinger" (in the late 1990's, this was changed to "Bite My Butterfinger!).

Most of these advertisements have been released on The Simpsons DVD sets as bonus features along with other commercials.
