He's rude, has no respect for adults, and makes his sister's life hell. But maybe Bart's not as
bad as anda think...

Bart once took the blame for Lisa when she mencuri the teachers' handbooks -- just so she wouldn't ruin her school career. And when Bart got $500 in a court settlement, he used the money to buy a rare blues record for Lisa. And remember the time he berkata sorry to Lisa after making her cry at Thanksgiving? Aaaaah.

2) He's an animal lover

Bart went without Makanan to help pay for Santa's Little Helper's operation, and also rescued his Anak Anjing when Mr Burns tried to make a bulu kot out of them. Plus, he once looked after some eggs until they hatched, took care of his pet gajah Stampy, and helped Lisa save snakes on Snake Whacking Day.

3) He's a great songwriter

"Do the Bartman" was a chart-topping hit. But don't forget his other great tunes: "Lisa, It's Your Birthday" with Michael Jackson and "Jingle Bells" (`...Batman smells, Robin laid an egg').

4) He doesn't always fail in class

In an astronomy project, Bart actually discovered a comet and had it named after him! He even came first in a science fair once, for proving that hamsters can fly planes. And don't forget the time Bart managed to get a D-minus in history -- the lapor is still stuck on the Simpsons' fridge door!

5) He's a good member of the community

6) He'll do anything for a friend

Even though Milhouse is a nerd, Bart has always stood sejak him. Remember the time he helped Milhouse when he was in the film of the "Radioactive Man" cartoon? And of course, Bart has always been there for his buddy Krusty the Clown. He reuinted Krusty with his father (aaah!) and helped get his tunjuk back on air after it was cancelled.

7) He's good with the ladies

Remember that time when he pretended to be Gordie Howe and wrote Cinta letters to Mrs Krabappel? His way with words was so romantic, he managed to fool his own teacher! But he's not in any rush to get a proper girlfriend, thank goodness!

8) He's girly

Did anda know Bart's an expert ballet dancer? And that he gave Lisa modelling tips when she entered the Springfield Beauty Pageant? And that he is a brilliant babysitter for Maggie? Who would have thought? Not us, for sure!

9) He's a great filmmaker

When Springfield had a film festival, Bart's film called "The Eternal Struggle" showed Homer trying to get into a pair of too-small trousers. Not only that, he also filmed an alien in the woods and had it shown on the news, although the alien later turned out to be Mr Burns - D'oh!

10) He's clued up

Bart once took a stand against smacking and hitting children when he refused to be booted up the bum sejak the Prime Minister of Australia!
