Bart has been described at being 10 years old, as well as between the ages of 9 and 11. Usually he can be seen wearing a lucky red hat, carrying a slingshot in his back pocket and riding his skateboard. He's known for pulling pranks, especially prank phone calls to Moe's Tavern.

Bart has bared his butt to viewers on nearly a weekly basis.

  • Took photo of butt in mirror.
  • Did an impression of Richard "I am not a butt" Nixon.
  • Mooneds the nation of Australia.
  • Did an impression of "Dr. Cheeks."
  • A slide of his butt, disguised as a map of Springfield, is displayed at a town meeting.
Bart also has many catch phrases.
  • Ay caramba!
  • Get bent.
  • Eat my shorts.
  • Don't have a cow, man.
  • D'oh!
In fact, Bart's first words were, "Ay caramba!"
