[@Cheeseanonioncrisps]

I don't know. Lisa definitely has a better deal in some ways- not least because she isn't being physically abused like Bart- but if anything she's the one who gets neglected. Throughout the series there are countless examples of Homer and Bart going off on some adventure and leaving Lisa behind, and much fewer examples of Lisa going off on adventures with either parent. In fact, I'd argue that her constant need to be the best student at school might be because it's the one area where she stands a chance at overshadowing her brother.

Something The Simpsons is very consistent about is that Bart is not an idiot, he's just neglected by his parents which causes him to act out. It's been proven that when he gets the proper attention and support he needs, he almost always performs well.

100% he's supposed to represent the smart kid that the public school system failed. Also, I can understand Lisa's outburst toward Bart at the end of the episode. "I am sick and tired of you blaming me for everything wrong in your life" If I was Lisa and always being told to "tone myself down" I'd be a bit angry to.

I always got hand-me-downs, she got everything she wanted, I was rarely raised for doing good, she was praised for doing everything, she fails at something and they were always supportive and kind to her, where as I was belittled and yelled at, my sister was given every chance and support to succeed from my mother in every single aspect of her life and gave her all the help where as towards me she just demanded I succeed without any aid. Nowadays as adults, my mother and sister tag team against me with their gaslighting attitudes and refuse to ever see my side of things and how terrible of a parent my mother had always been to me even now. I hate Lisa in the show, always have, not only because she reminds me of my sister but because Lisa has done more harm to Bart in the show's life and Bart had ever done to her and she always revels in being the better sibling.

[@garrynolan05]

The reason why Bart is acting like a jerk to Lisa is because he was neglected, because of Lisa’s gifts and overloaded attention. He wants the spotlight, so he acts like this to get the same amount of attention as Lisa. In episodes, Homer and Marge would always be praising Lisa on her accomplishments that very few can do and then when it comes to Bart, all they can do is give him a pat on the back for existing and just say “we love him”, with no other compliments. In the pilot, Marge was writing Christmas letters to all of her family and friends. In the letter she states, “Maggie learned how to walk, Lisa got straight A’s, and Bart- well, we love Bart…” This is just straight-up neglection.

While watching The Simpsons I notice how many times Bart is shown to have great talent but always was ignore or had to give it up because Lisa couldn’t handle being ignored. We see Bart always giving up his bit of recognition for Lisa to be happy, and rarely does Lisa do the same for Bart. In fact Lisa’s ego tends to get more bloated and she has become even worse in the newer seasons.

Barts always shown signs of being gifted and thrived when he was given the support he needed like when he needed glasses, took medication for ADHD or when he was a drumming prodigy. When the special attention moves away from lisa you almost always see her react in a way that forces bart to suppress that side of himself.

[@greencello599]

In my opinion, part of the reason Homer and Marge are so neglectful towards Bart is because he was conceived outside of wedlock. They weren't ready to become parents yet, but they took up the responsibility of giving Bart a stable family situation. Lisa and Maggie were both unexpected pregnancies, but the situation was different for them than it was for Bart. They shower Lisa with so much attention because she showed a level of intelligence that was nurtured in a Simpson way. Bart is more creative in his intelligence. It's how he was able to pull off so many elaborate pranks. He actually gets that creativeness from Homer, who could have become an award winning songwriter with massive royalties come in so that the family wouldn't be on their 6th or 7th mortgage. Homer and Marge focused so much on giving Lisa every opportunity that they subconsciously already put Bart on the side burner and failed to recognize that he can achieve just as much as Lisa, just in a different field.

Technically he should be 38, so yeah

I can relate to bart all the time

[@ricardomorales8969]

Same here. What can you relate to him?

[@judedeluca4408]

You know what really made Lisa awful in this moment? Not that she announced her achievement when she did, but the fact she was ANNOYED when Marge asked her to be more considerate to Bart.

[@masonplacher7096]

This must mean that in this year, Homer is 41, Marge is 38, Lisa is 10, and Maggie is 3.

[@giovannimartinez1484]

Yes. Exactly.

i would totaly get back to watching the simpsons if they did a whole series like this

1:47 I hate that Lisa gets mad at Marge when she says that it's Bart's birthday. She can't let Bart have the spotlight EVEN ON HIS BIRTHDAY.

[@Montesama314]

Dang, that birthday party scene was rough. What makes the scenes with the family work is that no one is actually malicious, it's just people making compromises.

[@Coloribus2004]

The world turned their back on Bart when Lisa was born, and Bart turned his back in return. At least his Grandfather understands him.

"My sister was born lucky i was lucky to be born". Bart and Lisa in a nutshell everyone.
