"Boys, before we eat, don't forget to thank the Lord for this bountiful... (Bart lands in front of him) penis!"
Ned Flanders
Moviebart.png

Bart Simpson once got involved in an incident which he skateboards nude.

History[edit]

Simpsons movie trailer 3.png

Homer asked Bart to skateboard naked to Krusty Burger and back as a dare, which he reluctantly did because Homer would have called him a chicken for life. After passing by many people, the police shot Bart's skateboard, causing him to collide with the window of Krusty Burger in front of the Flanders family, with Ned holding a French fry over his crotch. The police tied him to a lamppost, where Nelson laughed at him for hours on end. When Homer caught up with him and the police, he got Bart to take the blame for the idea, otherwise Homer would have been sent to a short parental course. They entered Krusty Burger, where Ned gave Bart spare clothes (as Homer only brought a shirt and socks) and Homer discovered Plopper.[1]

Bart saw a video recording of it when flicking channels.[2]

Part of it appeared in a thumbnail for a YouTube video called "The Simpson Family's Most Problematic Moments!", uploaded by Sherri and Terri.[3]
