Bartholomew Jo-Jo "Bart" Simpson is a main character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Nancy Cartwright. He is the oldest child and only son of Homer and Marge Simpson, and is the brother of Lisa and Maggie. According to The Bart Book he was born on April 1, 1979. According to Marge in episode 1818, The Boys of Bummer, he was born "blue and backwards." He, along with many of Springfield's citizens, is ambidextrous, but is most commonly seen writing left-handed. Along with his father, Bart is arguably the most well-known character on the long running animated series. Both Bart and Lisa ranked #11 in TV Guide's "Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time".
He is a self-proclaimed underachiever who begins each show in school detention writing lines on the blackboard, which are known as the Chalkboard Gags. He is easily distracted by almost anything, even, strangely enough, algebraic equations. He is considerably under motivated and takes great joy in disrupting the routine at Springfield Elementary. His pranks are often elaborately complex, while his actions and speech frequently show considerable mental agility, street-smarts and understanding; so he cannot be called "stupid" per se. His best friend is Milhouse Van Houten. His antics terrify everyone, including Springfield's most powerful citizen Charles Montgomery Burns. Many of his pranks are directed against authority figures (his father, his teachers and principal, as well as the city and town church, are among his favorite victims), although they are usually meant to drive people crazy rather than cause any serious harm, and he has occasionally helped these same people out when they are in trouble.
He shares a sibling rivalry with his younger sister, Lisa, but has a buddy-like relationship with his youngest sister Maggie (due to her infant state). While Bart has often hurt her out of jealousy, and has even fought her physically, he loves Lisa as deeply as she loves him, and has always apologized for going too far. He also believes Lisa to be his superior when it comes to solving problems, and always comes to her for advice. Both siblings formed a dynamic crime-solving duo during many of their encounters with Sideshow Bob, Bart's nemesis.
Bart's interests include Krusty the Klown, skateboarding, reading comic books (especially Radioactive Man), terrorizing Lisa, playing video games/computer games, helping Lisa solve various problems (e.g. reuniting Krusty with his estranged father), and pulling off various pranks (such as mooning unsuspecting people and prank calling Moe Szyslak at his tavern). In Bart the General, Bart has hinted that his favorite movies are Jaws and the Star Wars trilogy.
Whenever Homer finds out that Bart has said or done something stupid or bad, he yells out: "Why you little–!", and strangles him in anger.
In his book Planet Simpson, Chris Turner describes Bart as a nihilist.
Bart's character traits of rebellioness and disrespect for authority has been likened to that of America's founding fathers, rendering him an updated version of American icons Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, rolled into one."
Bart is allergic to butterscotch, imitation butterscotch, glow-in-the-dark monster makeup, cauliflower, and shrimp.
Though he has not demonstrated the ability since the episode in which he learned, he speaks near-perfect French.
In, Homer's Barbershop Quartet Bart says that he has a serious problem in which he can't remember anything over 15 minutes ago. Although he repeatedly insists that it was serious, the rest of his family laughs. He soon forgot why they were laughing and laughs along.
