Character profile - Bart Simpson

Well I figured it was time to actually profile a Simpson, so lets start with the show's original star. In the beginning Bart was the star of the show, in the early 90's his face was everywhere, he even had some crappy music video "Do the Bartman". As the series progressed Bart has been placed in the role of sidekick to Homer, often Homer's right hand man in his crazy schemes. Somehow through multiple stranglings Homer and Bart seem to maintain a good relationship, they have many similar interests, and are both rather dumb. Bart like Homer is on the funnier half of the Simpsons family, episodes starring Bart or Homer are usually much better then those starring Lisa and Marge, Grandpa episodes are also usually quite good, and Maggie episodes don't really exist. Bart is the class clown, and is one of the most popular kids in school, he even is ignored by bullys most of the time. He does show a extreme street smarts from time to time, this may be because the Simpsons dumbening gene hasn't taken full effect yet. He is often shown running shady operations to get money from his classmates, something he may have learned from his father. On one occasion Bart tried to be a good student and was told by Mrs. Edna Krabappel to stop raising his hand, because he hasn't got a single question right all day. Bart's best friend is Milhouse, who does whatever Bart says, through the course of the show Bart has had numerous other friends, that appear as the show needs, orginally Lewis and Richard were always there, now they have faded into obscurity, Martin makes a few appearances, but it is usually when Bart is using him. Nelson is Bart's most common friend after Milhouse, even though Nelson will bully Bart from time to time. Even Principal Skinner and Bart became close after Skinner was fired. Bart has played many pranks big and small, including cutting the head off the Jebidiah Springfield Statue, convincing the whole town a young boy fell down a well, and of course the many prank calls to Moe. Bart even spent a short time in Juvie for breaking into a cop car, something I believe he has done more then once. Despite Bart being an underachieving punk, who isn't the brightest, he has managed to stop criminal mastermind Sideshow Bob on numerous occasions, avoiding death several times. Bart has also shown a natural abilty for Ballet, and despite being only 10 has been drunk at least twice, he was the owner of his own factory, has appeared on Conan O'Brien, wrote episodes of Itchy and Scratchy, and driven cross country to Memphis. Overall Bart is no Homer, but he is pretty funny, he may be Homer's sidekick, but he has his own more obdient sidekick in Milhouse, and he one day may become a Supreme Court Justice, or a sleazy male strippy, or maybe even both like the late Earl Warren.

Must see episodes with Bart: "Seperate Vocations" "Bart the Daredevil" "Cape Feare" "Bart's Girlfriend" "Bart Vs. Australia" and more
