I think that Lisa has to be the worst character in the show.
She is self-centered, jealous, obnoxious not to mention selfish. She
thinks that she is above everyone else because she's intelligent.
For example, in "Dog of Death" where SLH is in need of an operation to
untwist his stomach, Marge says that to be able to afford it the family
is going to have to give things up. Lisa is the only one to complain.
And when Bart, Milhouse, Nelson and Martin go on a roadtrip, Bart makes
up the excuse that he is going to a Grammar rodeo. Lisa makes that point
that surely SHE would have heard of it and be going to it. She was also
jealous when Bart was sent to a school for the gifted and she wasn't
allowed to go. She was extremly cruel to Ralph when he had a crush on
her and humiliated her on live TV.
I think that she should be removed from the show. I hate Lisa!

I agree with Helen...Lisa is not automatically good because she adopts
socially and politically correct causes...like many bleeding hearts, her
display of compassion for others is nothing more than self-serving
hypocrisy aimed at easing her discomfort with her lot in life. I think this
is the true intent of the show's creators...and they have achieved rthe
desired effect with Ms. Brownlee

I think I can see where you are coming from, though I don't think I
hate her. I remember earlier this season, when Homer coached the
football team, Lisa walked onto the field to make an equality statement,
announcing that she wanted to play footballe too. When she found out
there were already girls on the team, she didn't want to play a game
that used the skin of a defenseless pig. She is pretty selfish, but at
the same time, unnoticed in many ways. She just wants to be counted.
That is one of the humorous parts of The Simpsons.

Me? Jealous of Lisa? That should be a larf.
I'm sorry, but Lisa is the worst character in the Simpsons.
Lisa is heartless and she think's she somthing special cause she has the
ability to use the brain God gave her. Lisa sucks more than anyone else.
She's not even funny. At least the other characters make you laugh, Lisa
makes you puke and want to hit her.

The football thing was probably a continuity error as the writers didn't
realise there were already girls on the team. :)

(The previous paragraph was seriously sarcastic)*

Didn't you think the scene was funny though? It's probably as close as
we get to an in-joke these days. When Lisa is shown as selfish it's
because she's written that way, but I feel this scene was written to
expose Lisa once again as a PC thug, something she has been accused of
before and vehemently denied, this time no denial was possible and she
could only make a lame excuse and sheepishly walk away. Maybe she will
now learn humility and chill out a bit, personally I hope not, I like
Lisa the way she is.

Oh and by the way, since when has wanting equality been selfish? The
mere fact that inequality exists means that selfishness exists but
surely it isn't on the part of the "sheep" (re: Orwell's Animal Farm).

So they got your attention.

In 1990, when the Simpsons were first advertised by Sky on billboards,
they were 'The family you can believe in', or something very similar.
They were yellow and very funny, but who on earth behaves like that?

People went on about them then, and still go on about them now. The
characters are very obvious, interact hilariously with their
surroundings, but the shows do vary. Watch some of them while in a funny
mood and you may not even laugh.

Let's face it, the cartoons of the '50s were abnormally violent, and the
Simpsons are a welcome respite.

Ah, yes. Another month, another new Lisa-bashing post.

Uh, oh, sounds like someone here <is> jealous, and it isn't Lisa. Exactly
what did Lisa say that sounded like she made herself out to be superior? In
"Homer Define (8F04)," she quickly takes Homer as a role model after he
saves Springfield from a meltdown. Even when it's revealed that he only
saved the city by accident, she refuses to put him down. If Lisa were as
convinced of her own superiority as you believe, she would never have done
that.

First, Lisa isn't the only one to complain. Homer quickly complains about
cutting back on food and beer. Eventually, the whole family turns on SLH --
even Bart, and SLH is his dog!

Second, I think Lisa has a legitamite gripe. Cutting back on luxuries is
one thing, but now we're interfering with schoolwork. Admittedly, there
wasn't much the family could do about this, but I don't blame Lisa for
feeling bad about it.

>> And when Bart, Milhouse, Nelson and Martin go on a roadtrip, Bart makes

Lisa says, "I'm the best student in school, how come I never heard about
this competition?" This is not quite the same thing you claim it is. As
one of Springfield Elementary's brightest pupils, Lisa would be in a good
position to hear about an academic contest. (That "best student" isn't an
idle boast, either. Principal Skinner called ther this in "Who Shot Mr.
Burns? Part I (2F16).") The fact that she hadn't heard of the "grammar
rodeo" naturally aroused her suspicions.

And let's not forget one important fact: Lisa was right. Bart <was> trying
to scam his parents.

>> She was also
>> jealous when Bart was sent to a school for the gifted and she wasn't
>> allowed to go.

Actually, she was annoyed because Bart got to go to this (supposedly) cool
gifted school when he obviously did not deserve it. I don't think she once
said anything about going herself.

>> She was extremly cruel to Ralph when he had a crush on
>> her and humiliated her on live TV.

You've never once snapped at someone in a moment of anger? Either (a) you
haven't lived very long or (b) you're a candidate for sainthood. As you
point out, Lisa was humiliated on live TV <in front of thousands of people>.
Anybody would be just a little peeved, dontcha think? Besides, once Lisa
cooled down, she thought the better of it and made amends with Ralph.

Sheesh, stop reading things into Lisa's actions that aren't there. You
might see that, while she's subject to the same frailties as everyone else,
Lisa is a very kind soul.

(Now if you want to complain jealousy and stupidity, try Homer. I think
he's a terrific character but if anyone on the show is prone to being
envious or dim-witted, it's him.)

The sheer ignorance of this post astounds me. The Simpsons is filled
with characters that are obnoxious, self-centered, jealous and selfish. To
say "Oh, I don't like Lisa because she's [the things aforementioned]" is to
say "I don't like The Simpsons," because it's clear to anyone who's watched
more than two episodes that practically everyone in Springfield is an asshole,
and compared to them Lisa is sweet, and very mild-mannered.

I would like to see an example of this, myself. If she were such a
snob she wouldn't mingle with people as immature and less gifted
intellectually as Janey, or the girls she had over for a slumber party in
"Flaming Moe's." It gets me how some people equate intelligence to snobbery.

Anyone as unobservant as Helen Brownlee has lost all credibility. Did
she just tape 8F17, and edit out everything besides Lisa scenes? Because,
anyone with two eyeballs and working eardrums could see that the entire family
was mad at SLH, for reasons even more minute than Lisa's. (Bart having to get
a second-rate haircut, IMO, doesn't quite measure up with an academic loss.)

Nevermind, Lisa was very tolerant of Ralph's irritating behavior up
until that point. It was kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back.
I suppose since Lisa and Marge are supposed to be more subdued, they're
supposed to be superhuman, and able to stifle their emotions at all times just
so that they aren't judged as "obnoxious, jealous, selfish."

> (Now if you want to complain jealousy and stupidity, try Homer. I think

Yes. We could write an entire 32-page essay on the obnoxious, cruel,
jealous and selfish things Homer's done. And what about Bart? He destroyed
Lisa's centerpiece on Thanksgiving, and didn't feel like he had to apologize
for it. (Now, of course that's the short-sighted, ignorant way of looking at
it. In actuality, of course, he did eventually see his error and apologize.)

In all honesty, I'd have to say this is the stupidest "Hate Lisa" post
I've seen to date. At least the others were valid, two-bit opinions. This is
just a lot of unfounded slander based upon misread observations.

As it's been said before, they feel inferior to characters like Lisa and want
to find "legitimate" reasons ("She's just a nerd who takes time away from
Homer" has been rightly shot down too hard). So they take her intelligence and
social conscience out of context, turning it into "snobbery" (or "Marxist
protodykeism," but that's another issue).

Continuing with the "intelligence as snobbery" theme, these people will find
any reason to suppress the brains which threaten them so. So they characterize
any distress over schoolwork that can't be done as illegitimate bellyaching.

Different standards for different people... But this is The Simpsons, not "Full
House." The characters are very three-dimensional. Ignoring the half-assed
characterizations from hacks like Donick Cary, you will see that Lisa is an
important balancing force on the show, and the only questioner of Springfield's
"iteits" besides Marge.

Exactly. Plus, this poster won't see the big picture and sees Lisa only from
her very limited viewpoint.

Oh, I see. So in reality, the only reason you don't like Lisa's
so-called negative behavior is because it isn't "funny." So, Homer can do
nasty things like he did to Frank Grimes in "Homer's Enemy," but as long as
he's funny, it doesn't matter. In that case, quit bullshitting the newsgroup
with your gripe about Lisa's obnoxious character traits when all you care
about is how funny she is. It is a pity that you are such a superficial soul,
and can't see the good side and humorous side of ALL the Simpsons characters.

And, by the way, I'm sure if any of the people who care about Lisa in
the series were real enough to see your short-sighted comments, they'd bawl
your butt out, too.

Science has established that without a trustworthy, honest
mentor to give her advice, a young teen or 7-something girl
can easily spiral into behaviors like preaching Marxism
or sneering at Christianity. Please, don't blame little Lisa
for the manifestations of evil; blame instead the parodies
of her corrupt mentors who seek to instill in children all the
worst that society has to offer. Exposure to russian jews and
faggots will inevitably and rapidly produce these symptoms in
otherwise normal children. The cure? A good spanking followed
by a book report on THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS in the offending child.

I respect your post which was unlike many others. Firstly, I am not
jealous of Lisa and her superiority. To be jealous of a cartoon is
stupid. Your post was very well pointed out and did change my attitude
towards Lisa a little. There are always to sides to every coin. Thank
you for not trying to make this article look as though you thought I was
some jackass with nothing better to do than to gripe about a cartoon.

In a drama, there is sometimes, comic releif, in a comdey, I think Lisa,
mostly plays the dramatic releif. Though, there are times when she'll
listen in on the phone calls to Moe's. Then she's naughty, and it's
nice to see that she's got a sense of humor. BTW, for the sake of the
subject, Lisa let's Bart make the phone call, that's not selfish...

Actually, Ondre, the Cro-Magnons were completely modern human beings, homo

If you are an elite anthropologist-type, you spell and pronounce it -tal.
Normal people call it -thal.

Look at the DejaNews from the original airdate.

I don't know how to express how much i disagree with you. Lisa is by far the
best character on the show. She is sweet and loving and she always sticks up
for Bart and Homer. So she was a little mean on one episode. Are you a pillar
of virtue? You've never ever done one wrong thing in your life? Have you sat
beside the bed of a dying man and played the saxaphone for him? I don't think
so.

I meant to be literal about that, that Bart and Homer should've been dead
a long time ago. Look at all the shit they've been through:

Homer: Falls down into Springfield Gorge.

Falls down sliding down a Nuclear Incinerator Pipe.

Gets torn to shreds by Mr. Burns' guard dogs.

Bart: Falls off the side of The Simpson House through a window, as it
tips over!!!!

Homer strangles Bart, as he is knocked through a window.

I mean, either they should've been dead a long time ago, or they should've
been in intensive care (in serious condition) for a long period of time
a long time ago.

...you see, in German, "thal" and "tal" are pronounced the same way. The
traditional German spelling for the word "valley" is "Thal." However, some
time ago (some time this century, I believe), the "h" was removed from
"Thal" and several other words. Of course, none of this has anything to do
with the topic at hand, so I'll just shut up now. Byeeee.

The funniest part about it is, if this were real life and I were 6'4

Quite right Ondre, but then again it's alright for you to say that,
after all, you have a life. Please try to understand the plight of this

I read somewhere that there is definitely only one acceptable way to spell
it. Unfortunately, the proper way to spell it seems to differ depending
upon which scientific group you are in.

Sorta like saying there is definitely only one way to get to heaven, but
there are millions of different groups whose way to get to heaven is
different.

In short, neither Neanderthal nor Neandertal are acceptable, depending on
whom you are talking to.

The proper pronunciation, from the German, has always been
"Neandertal". "Neanderthal", the German spelling which has
always caused English-speakers to mispronounce it, has now
been officially changed (in Germany) to "Neandertal".

Lisa is a funny foil to Bart and Homer's antics. She's a nice dose of

not every character is going to be perfect every episode but there are some episodes that remind me that Lisa genuinely does care for her family she is the one to get bart's soul back in the one where he sold it. She learns to empathize with Homer doing the best he can to be a good father Lisa has done every single member of her family a kindness at one or another she's selfish sometimes and maybe abit full of herself but to say there's nothing good about her is a falsehood I wouldn't have The Simpsons without Lisa she offers more to the show as it's voice of reason than someone like Brian on family guy does we see her truly be remorseful and understanding that she's going to make episodes like everyone else I recommend you watch the episode where she is accepted into MENSA and then tell me that she doesn't learn something

I think it was discussed on this newsgroup before and it was
suggested that Lisa is a judeo-bolshevist.
