| Bartholomew "Bart" Jojo Simpson
|
| Character Information
|
Bartholomew "Bart" Jojo Simpson voiced by Nancy Cartwright.[1] is a ten year old child of Homer and Marge Simpson, and is the brother of Lisa and Maggie. Bart's most prominent character traits are his mischievousness, rebelliousness, disrespect for authority and sharp tongue. During the first two seasons of The Simpsons, Bart was the show's main character; while later episodes started to focus more on Homer, Bart remains one of the most enduring characters on the series, and has proven to be one of the most iconic characters in the history of American television animation.
Personality
Bart is a self-proclaimed underachiever who begins each show in detention as part of the opening sequence. He is easily distracted (even, strangely enough, by algebraic equations). His penchant for shocking people began before he was born: Bart "mooned" Dr. Hibbert while he performed a sonogram on Marge, and moments after being born he set fire to Homer's tie. His best friend is Milhouse.[[Image:Bart & H French. He also learned Spanish in a matter of hours in preparation for the family's trip to Brazil. Upon learning that Brazilians speak Portuguese and not Spanish, Homer orders his son to forget what he learned, prompting Bart to strike himself over the head until he forgot the language. Bart also speaks Japanese (which he also learned in a couple of hours in prison along with Homer, and is also shown speaking Japanese in '
s]]'), Cantonese and Latin. His advanced linguistic skills may be inherited from Homer, who also speaks advanced languages, including penguin. Bart can also drive, having his own driving license, given to him in "Little Big Girl" after saving Springfield from a fire, although he has been seen driving before with a fake license, particularly in the episode "Bart on the Road". He still possesses it, using it to great effect in "24 minutes", stealing Principal Skinner's car to get to Jimbo's house. He is a player in the Mighty Pigs Peewee Hockey League Team. Be name "Bart" is an anagram of the word "brat".[2] Groening conceived Bart as an extreme version of the typical misbehaving child character, merging all of the negative traits of characters such as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn into one person.[2] Groening's older brother Mark provided most of the inspiration for Bart.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag He had previously appeared on the cover the December 31 1990 edition.[3] Both Bart and Lisa ranked #11 in TV Guide's "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time".[4]
Bart's catchphrases, "¡Ay, caramba!", "Don't have a cow, man!" and "Eat my shorts!" were featured on t-shirts in the early days of the show's run.[5] The latter two phrases were rarely actually spoken on the show itself until after they became popular through merchandise, and the use of many of these catchphrases has declined in recent seasons. The use of catchphrase-based humor was mocked in the episode "Bart Gets Famous" in which Bart gets famous on the Krusty show for saying the line "I didn't do it."[6] During the show's early years, Bart was rebellious and frequently escaped without punishment, which led some parents' groups and conservative spokespeople to believe he provided a poor role model for children. This prompted George H. W. Bush to rally, "We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family. To make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons."[7], to which Bart replied with "Hey, we're just like the Waltons. We're praying for an end to the Depression, too."[8]
Bart is the most depicted Simpsons character on various memorabilia such as T-shirts, car decals, and even graffiti art. Bart, and other Simpsons characters, have appeared in numerous television commercials for Nestlé's Butterfinger candy bars from 1990-2001, with the slogan "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!"[9] This association was parodied in an episode when he discovered a video tape with Lisa that he participated in a TV commercial when he was a baby; Bart says that he doesn't remember being in a commercial, then holds up a Butterfinger and eats it.
Bart briefly appears in the entrance video used by World Wrestling Entertainment Superstar Shawn Michaels
Bart has appeared in several other shows. He is featured in the South Park episode "Cartoon Wars Part II"; he is not referred to by name, nor do any of the characters react to him as if he were a well known personality.[10] The character specifically mentions the events of The Telltale Head when Cartman asks him to name the "most badass thing" he has done.
Merchandising
There have been many Bart Simpson merchandise. Such as toys and comic books. There is also many Bart books. Some are Bart Simpson's Guide to Life and the Bart book.
Future
At the age of 18, Bart is a high school senior at Springfield High School. He styles his hair and wears an earring. He speaks three languages, apparently one being armpit noises , and one French (But not said). He pursues a relationship with a girl named Jenda who denies his proposal. As a result, Bart pursues a career at the Kwik-E-Mart. Whether he kept the job was unmentioned. At the age of 25, he is a building demolisher and vehicle crusher. He is more kind in general, as opposed to his personality. He also attends law school. At age 32, he is taken to the hospital after eating too many fish logs. He seems to have lost his building demolishing company and works at a construction site. He got the "Mother" tatto which Marge prevented him from getting. He also has a tattoo of Krusty the Clown on his chest. He recieves a digestive tract transplant from Uter Zorker which saves his life. At age 40, he is a poor guitarist and alcoholic that dropped out of DeVry Institute. He lives in a beach house alongside Ralph, the only other member of Bart's band. He is addicted to a form of drug, likely marijuana. At age 50, Bart to have straightened up and graduated law school, as he is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. At the age of 70, he lives at the Springfield Retirement Castle with Milhouse. At the age of 83, he finds true love before dying one minute later.
