The title of this article is conjectural. Though the topic is found within The Simpsons universe, a proper name is not available. |
- "Boys, before we eat, don't forget to thank the Lord for this bountiful... (Bart lands in front of him) penis!"
- ―Ned Flanders
Bart Simpson once got involved in an incident which he skateboards nude.
History[edit]
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]
Non-canon[edit]
| The contents of this article or section are considered to be non-canon and therefore may not have actually happened or existed in-universe. |
Chip Davis was present with the Flanders when Bart landed on the window.[4]
The scene, specifically the window segment, was shown on a poster for The Sadsons Movie, but done in-film by Bart Sadson, with the events being made up in Homer's imagination in a very brief coma years ago.[5]
Behind the Laughter[edit]
- The scene is inspired by a gag in the Austin Powers film series,[6] in which the titular character is seen nude and partially obscured by various objects.
- The idea for the scene was from Matt Groening, and the penis was Mike Scully's idea. However, on Simpsons Declassified, Mike Reiss claimed either Groening or James Brooks came up with the scene, the latter laughed when Nancy Cartwright was recording sound effects.[7]
- Several changes were made during the production of the movie:
- Sherri and Terri were originally to be the ones daring Bart, but both were replaced with Homer. They are present later in the scene, and in a piece of merchandise.
- Bart was to visit a grievance counselor (voiced by Minnie Driver) about coping with the incident, but the scene was cut from the film.
- One early version of the scene replaces Agnes Skinner with Sideshow Mel, who says "Avert your gaze!" instead of "Don't look where I'm pointing!".[8]
- This scene was adapted for a game on the Simpsonsmovie.com website. The game ends either if the police car catches up to Bart, or he does the window collision.
- Another piece of promotional material, a poster labelled 'Keep on Streaking', on the website's store shows Bart outside the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, which does not happen in the film.
- Some of the producers thought that the scene could cause The Simpsons Movie to receive an R rating over Bart's penis briefly being visible, but they claimed that the MPAA reviewers saw a "really sad movie" immediately before, giving The Simpsons Movie a PG-13 rating.[6]
- However, the film was rated lower than PG-13 equivalents in some countries, such as a PG in the United Kingdom.[9]
- Some airings of the film (such as FX) placed a censor bar over Bart's genitals, with the phrase "European version only" (or possibly others) being inserted over it.[10] In the commentary, this was mentioned as possibly needing to be done completely if the scene would not pass the censors.[6]
- In one trailer, Ned screams instead of saying 'penis'.
- A reference to the scene appears in the Burger King figures released with the movie, although Bart is depicted undressing while skateboarding instead of immediately before.
- An issue of Mad magazine in Germany contains a variant of Bart landing on the window, with a magnifying glass over what appears to be his genitals, but is actually SpongeBob SquarePants's eyes.[11]
- Part of the aftermath scene, where Homer says "The worst day of your life, so far." to Bart when he is released from the lamppost, became an internet meme by 2017.
- It was one of the numerous scenes (another being the Spider-Pig scene from the movie) that appear in the San Diego Comic-Con mural in 2014.
