Bartholomew Jo-Jo (sometimes referred to as Jay) "Bart" Simpson is a fictional character featured in the television animated series The Simpsons, voiced by Nancy Cartwright. He is the 10-year-old son of Homer and Marge Simpson and older brother of Lisa and Maggie.
He is grandson to Abraham Simpson, Mona Simpson and Jacqueline Bouvier. He is also nephew to Herbert Powell, Abbie, Patty Bouvier and Selma Bouvier Terwilliger Hutz McClure. His former uncles-by-marriage include Robert Underdunk "Sideshow Bob" Terwilliger, Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure.
Bart is a self-proclaimed underachiever who begins each show writing detention lines on the blackboard (see list of Bart Simpson's blackboard sentences). Bart's interests include skateboarding, comic books (esp. Radioactive Man), terrorizing his sisters, Dickensian chimney sweeps, and prank calling Moe Szyslak at his tavern.
In an interview, Simpsons creator Matt Groening stated he chose the name as an anagram of "brat".
In 1998, Time Magazine selected Bart as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century -- the only fictional character to make the list.
Episodes that feature Bart extensively include (but not all):
- Bart the Genius - in this episode, he is mistaken for genius.
- Bart the General - bart takes on the class bully.
