Ay, caramba! (also spelled Aye carumba!) is a phrase commonly used by Bart Simpson; it is his second most commonly used catchphrase, behind "Eat My Shorts!".

Bart's first words were "Ay caramba!" He first said it when he, as a baby, saw Homer and Marge in bed. Bart uses this phrase to express surprise, emotional distress or discomfort.

Other than Bart, the phrase had been used by Fidel Castro, when he hears about the trillion-dollar bill.[1]

Behind the Laughter[edit]

  • ¡Ay, caramba! is Spanish for denoting surprise or pain.
