Bart's 10 Greatest Pranks in 'The Simpsons,' Ranked

Bart (Nancy Cartwright) is widely known as the ultimate prankster of Springfield. Without this ne'er-do-well's ability to tap into the spirit of youth, Bartmania (and, by extension, The Simpsons' explosion in popularity) in the early '90s probably would not have been nearly as significant. Bart was the poster boy of the family for a while (hence the Butterfinger commercials), and it was his unstoppable drive to keep getting into trouble that defined his appeal more than anything else. He spearheaded so many pranks, big and small, that he goes down as one of the most troublesome personalities in Springfield.
