Bart Simpson's Future?

Trytostaydead · Post by **Trytostaydead** » 2003-05-20 05:00pm

From the Simpsons episodes, what is Bart going to be when he grows up?

We get a construction worker when Lisa is first about to get married, then a no good bum who almost ruins Lisa's presidency, and then as an older Supreme Court Justice. Could all of these futures be true? If so, then how?

He loses his job and then becomes an aspiring musician? Perhaps Lisa arranged to have Bart become a Supreme Court Justice as thanks for saving the country from angry collectors? Who knows..

In one episode doesn't he become a supreme court judge and a stripper in another?

The stripper was just a dream type of thing, not an actual "look to the future" episode like the Supreme Court Justice, bum, and construction worker ones were.

Well, that might explain how we've had at least two summer vacation episodes but they're still in the same classes...

Or it might explain that Bart has been ten for the past 14 years.

Of course, two of the futures were predictions from a psychic, so they might not be true.

So we can assume that Bart may likely become Judge in the supreme court.

Only if he serves at 10 years old, because I don't see him getting any older.

Well you would think that after starting the same grade about five times, despite an episode being devoted to Bart passing it, a teacher would notice and his doctor might do something about the total lack of growth hormones.

Well in the Behind the Laughter episode we learn that they are given anti-aging drugs. Maybe Dr. Hibbert is in on it.

That's what's cool about cartoons, you can have all the characters look the same for years and won't have to worry about having them grow up or old.

That was all discussed in "Behind the Laughter"

That was a daydream. Unfortunately for him.

And apparently his name was never Bary. Damn QWERTY keyboards. Gotta switch to Dvorak one of these days...

Well, maybe it's like a modification of Groundhog Day. They're forced to stay the same age, and never advance in life, but different things happen to them in the process. Maybe all they're waiting for is for one of them to do something to break the cycle.

After all, if it were truely the same, why would so many of the characters have died by now?

Groundhog Day was a good movie!

Yes, the Simpsons never age.

Pretty much except they never age. Despite the fact that time does actually pass. Hence the New Year's episodes.

Just a little FYI, the Simpson universe is VERY strange. While Bart has never aged, EVER, and time seems not to go anywhere, past events are still constantly talked about and things still hapened in a specific order. They have mentioned several of Bart's and Lisa's bigger deeds as well as listing every time Sideshow Bob tried to kill Bart. They even show some of the trinkets from earlier episodes collecting dust on a shelf in the house years later.

So, we know that they will eventualy age, but we don't know when. That said, Lisa probably becomes the President of the United States while Bart becomes a Supreme Court Justice.

In the episode where some Native Americans predicted Bart's future, he formed a rock band together with Ralph Wiggum.
