10 Worst Things Lisa Simpson Has Ever Done
5. Taking A Restraining Order On Bart
On A Clear Day I Can’t See My Sister starts with Bart in the wrong and Lisa cast firmly as the victim.
On a school trip, he bullies her mercilessly. Nothing too bad, but our sympathies are fully with Lisa and she’s understandably upset. When Bart takes things too far though, she applies for a restraining order against him.
This in itself seems like an overreaction, but once it happens you can’t blame Lisa for abusing her power a little. This ends up with Marge taking them back to court to get it revoked, but Judge Harm changes it from 50 feet to 200 feet instead.
This forces Bart to live in the yard, and Marge begs Lisa to reconsider, citing two nice things he’s done for her. Lisa shrugs and says once she can think of a third thing, she’ll destroy the restraining order. She couldn’t think of a single nice thing he’d done for her? Really?!
Lisa On Ice has a touching montage of Bart helping her, ‘Bart’ was Lisa’s first word and at least once a season they team up for hijinks. The continuity of The Simpsons is unclear at the best of times, but here it was just ridiculous.
