Valentine's Day 2013: 10 Scenes In Which Hearts Are (Literally) Torn Out

4. The Simpsons, New Kid On The Block (1992)

Yeah, I figured it would be OK to show a picture of this one - it's only a cartoon!

In The Simpsons episode 'New Kid On the Block', Bart Simpson finds himself falling for his new neighbour Laura Powers (guest star Sara Gilbert), a girl who is actually too old for him. Unfortunately for Bart she is all too aware of this fact, and is actually dating the bully Jimbo Jones, which results in Bart having a dream sequence in which Laura quite literally rips out his little heart. Thankfully for Bart, however, it was indeed only a dream.
