Bart is at least personally for me, one of the most misunderstood Simpsons characters. 1. He has major learning and behavioural difficulties which make him more likely to misbehave, fall behind in class as well as Make it harder for him to succeed at most things in life. 2. Bart began school by discovering his peers enjoyed his antics and loved the attention and popularity it gave him. Why should he behave well when misbehaving made him famous. 3. Bart does try to do the right thing in episodes like Bart sells his soul, the problem come about from a misunderstanding, whereas other Simpsons family dilemmas usually come about from multiple people being involved. He is pinned as a devil child or is a usual suspect. Mainly by his antithesis Principal Skinner. 4. Bart has to depend on his antics and misbehaviour to get attention at home. It’s become his personality. Episodes were he may become a nerd, go to a different school. His personality and thus overall happiness decreases. Look at almost any future episode, any episode where part becomes famous, part of a team or club and you see his long list of failure only grows. I mainly made this just so I could talk about one of my favourite episodes not just of the Simpsons but probably all of media. Bart gets an F. I felt this episode. Everything that happened to Bart, hit me like a truck. When Bart starts falling behind and is faced with repeating the year, I knew his desperation. It had happened to me. His teachers saying that would be the day sarcastically. His parents while supportive, couldn’t fully understand. After all they can’t just fix the problem. His need to work and catch up forces his popularity to decline and he just becomes a normal student with Martin replacing his former role. Bart trying and failing to resist procrastination and his lack of attention skills. Even resorting to isolation, hitting himself and even missing out on social activities and a snow day in July for crying out load. Not to excel but just to pass. To get the bear minimum. Bart tries and tries but he fails. He’s so broken and exhausted he just cries. He of course passes due to extra knowledge and his test is hung over Lisa’s A +’s to everyone’s happiness and pride, Bart even thanks God he passed. It’s quite obvious by now that I identify with Bart. Less so as a troublemaker, not until I was 17 anyway. But a struggling boy who really just needed help and self confidence. Even at university I have struggled. But I believe I still know that boy, whenever I see this episode I watch it all the way through. I start to remember school days, reading my texts books in the forest trying to concentrate without my mind wondering, staying inside during sunny days after neglecting studying for so long and years of bad luck and despair that I had long forgotten come flooding back. This is the episode that beat captures Bart. The real Bart Simpson. Not the misbehaving child. Not the tear away. The El Barto or Bartman. Watch the episode and you just might understand why Bart Simpson is Bart Simpson.

I think it's a really interesting jump as a S2 premiere. The show was really finding its voice at the backend of Series 1 (excluding Some Enchanted Evening which was a holdover first episode due to production errors) with shows like 'Crepes of Wrath', 'Krusty Gets Busted' and 'Life on the Fast Lane' but I think the start of Series 2 was so confident in comparison to the series. The jokes are notable upped in quantity and I always remember the moment Lisa scolds Bart for contemplating throwing away his chance to study. It's very 'SERIES 2' in that it's very realistic and grounded but I don't think people give it enough credit for how much more confident an episode it was.

Thinking of Meg and Family Guy, there's *one* episode where they're friends, where Peter realizes that his daughter is cool, and at the end he mocks her but then peeks out the door to wink at her to let her know that now she's in on the joke that he hates her, when in reality he loves her. It's sweet, but there's been nothing to repeat that or comment on it afterwards, not in all the years that the show's been running. Every time I see a clip of FG on youtube where Meg is in it at all, I'm lowkey readying myself for the obvious torment that is gonna follow. I feel bad because I am all for comedy and running gags, but Meg being absolutely hated by her entire family no longer feels like something funny, if it ever did. instead it feels like the sickest, nastiest voyeurism.

But you got it when you said that watching episodes nowadays whenever she comes on screen I sorta flinch just waiting for some bad shit to happen to her. Homer is without a doubt an idiot through and through, but he wouldn’t dream of doing a quarter of the things Peter does to his daughter. (Mostly because Lisa is a kid and I don’t think Homer could get away with torturing a kid on primetime tv) but because he genuinely really likes his daughter. I don’t think Peter even likes himself let alone Meg.

So even when she is tempted to suppress Meg's superior talent in the one thing she's most passionate about, she ultimately doesn't. She decides to try and encourage Meg anyway even if Meg might eventually surpass her with her saxophone skills. Peter is a huge dick as always in the end and ruins it but Lisa's instinct was to turn to kindness and sacrifice because that's the example Homer has set for her. Peter, on the other hand, is literally an abusive father and the gag hasn't been funny for a long time.

Long story short i am a child of divorce because of reasons. before my parents split when i was a lot younger i had a really close bond with my dad. He was the person that got me really into music from the start due to him being a DJ, a radio presenter on a local station and also playing the drums. i was young though and when your that age you just get a little blinkered and you don't see how different people really are. after my parents split i lived with my mum and older brother. I bonded so much more with my mum in the years i lived with her. i found we had respect for each other and she supported me through every decision and realised i was growing up and wasn't a little girl anymore i was a young woman. i also realised that my dad wasn't like that. he still sees me as a little girl and has no clue who the person i am now is. these days i feel my dad doesn't know me at all. i know his intentions are honourable and he just wants me to have a stable future but my current life situation is not what i want but it saddens me that i know he won't like the choice i have made in my life to leave my home city and go back to college full time and stuff. Not all of us have a Homer. my mum gets me more and that's what means a lot to me. My Homer is my mum. we are different people and we don't try to make the other be like each other but we get each other and as long as my mum is happy i am happy and as long as i am happy my mum is happy.

I really do love The Simpsons, pretty much more everyday. One thing I always loved about this show was how the relationships worked in it. The Homer/Lisa one worked out great, for pretty much the same reasons you explained. Homer would always sacrifice something he loved for Lisa's happiness, and in return Lisa accepts who he is and would give up her own happiness to show her love for Homer, like in "Lisa' Wedding." I'm also a fan of the other Simpson family relationships too. Bart and Lisa, despite getting involved in sibling rivalries (like almost anyone else with siblings like myself, honestly), they usually work together, like in some of the Sideshow Bob episodes or when one of them is in danger/trouble. Bart is usually the one who notices the problem and Lisa would be the one who figures out how to solve it. One of the examples for the relationship in my opinion are "Sideshow Bob Roberts" where Sideshow Bob wins an election. Bart and Lisa work together to figure out what is going on, only to realize that Sideshow Bob rigged the election by putting in votes under the names of a lot of deceased people/pets. Bart and Marge is another good one I'd say. Marge would always be there for Bart, seeing that he is good in the inside, and Bart would always sympathize with her in certain situations. I always look up to "Marge Be Not Proud" as the best episode to use the relationship. In the beginning Marge treats Bart with great affection until he was caught shoplifting, which left her to distrust Bart entirely and to distance herself from Bart. Bart realizes that Marge pretty much no longer loves him so he tries to make things right by retaking his picture since Marge desperately wanted a great family photo for Christmas. Maggie usually works well with any other Simpson, although her relationship with Homer is the only one that gets more than one episode, with Homer really getting along with Maggie when he doesn't forget her during father and baby moments. Maggie usually enjoys her time with Homer once she plays with him. It's a great relationship that doesn't get mentioned a lot. I recommend "And Maggie Makes Three" for a great reason why the relationship is great, the ending alone explains it all. Finally, I want to mention the relationship I personally love, the relationship between Homer and Marge. They have great chemistry for most of the series but their relationship episodes are where it really shines. Whenever Homer does something that would ruin the relationship, he is usually oblivious to his own selfishness before eventually realizing that he needs to fix the situation, showing how much he loves Marge and how loyal he can be to her. Marge usually would not be happy with the selfish action Homer takes in the specific episode. However, Marge knows how that in the end, she truly loves Homer and she would forgive him, and also defend him when people like her sisters Patty and Selma put Homer down for who he is. I feel that "Secrets of a Successful Marriage" is an underrated yet, phenomenal example of the relationship. Homer starts a new job as a marriage teacher and has nothing to say so he spills secrets about Marge so his classmates will listen to him instead of quitting the class. Homer is oblivious to Marge's frustration about her secrets being told and makes Homer promise not to spill anymore secrets, which he brakes pretty much the next day. Marge rightfully kicks Homer out for his selfishness and nearly considers a divorce. Homer then reappears, already in bad shape and tells Marge that he is dependent on her. It may not sound that great, but without her love, Homer will die in poverty really quick, he needed someone, and realizes his mistakes earlier in the episode. They then reconcile. I'm glad you put this video up, and maybe if possible, do a video on another Simpson relationship? I personally enjoy this topic as a whole!

And this is another reason why the Lady Gaga episode is so hated. On that episode the plot resolves itself when Lisa ignores what Homer says and it's played off as a gag.

Homer and Lisa are two polar opposites, like chocolate and vanilla. But they still get along in harmony when they need to.

I love the relationship between Homer and Lisa! 💜 Even in the episodes when it’s not central to the plot there can be some small endearing moments between them. The only thing is I didn’t care for Hugh. I didn’t find him sympathetic.

Honestly i think Homer Simpson gets the award for best father in cartoons on tv Yes, he does strangle bart, and drink a lot, but he makes so many sacrifices over the series and shows his care in so many ways all the time

God this show was so good, it's smarter and has more heart than most TV. Growing up I really identified with Lisa, I even wanted to learn to play the saxophone (but my family was too poor for that). I also really liked Wednesday Addams, I think it was important for me as a boy to see female characters who weren't just defined by their gender. They were smart, confident, and had a fully realised personality. I find when it comes to difficult family relationships in fiction the situation is oversimplified and one person is the clear bad guy. But with Homer and Lisa it's really nuanced and they're both trying their best.
