** Even at his worst, Bart doesn't treat Maggie the same way he treats Lisa.

* RealMenWearPink: Bart is normally a brash mischief-maker who loves pranks, skateboarding, and violent cartoons. However, in "Homer vs. Patty and Selmaa", he has to take a ballet class and is initially embarrassed, as he considers ballet a "girl sport". He is surprised as anyone else to find out he's good at ballet, and that he loves it.

* AMFMCharacterization: He was a fan of Music/MichaelJackson, and rap (he had his own rap single, after all).

* BrilliantButLazy: It's established he could actually be very bright, he just isn't interested in schoolwork or applying himself seriously. In one future he manages to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

* UglyGuyHotWife: With [[spoiler:Jenda]] in "Days of Future Future". Though he's not really ugly, just slovenly.

* AmbitiouslyBi: Bart has had crushes on many girls, but has also admitted to being "a little attracted to Milhouse" (this may have been to annoy Homer, but the trope ''is'' called ''Ambiguously'' Bi), got very jealous when Milhouse got a girlfriend, was willing to pose as Ralph Wiggum's date to attend the Krusty Anniversary Special ("You don't want to know how far I'll go!"), and one episode, in which he temporarily becomes best friends with Nelson, ends with a ''Film/BrokebackMountain'' parody.

* TheDragon: Briefly serves as this for [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Eric Cartman]] in the ''Cartoon Wars'' episodes, where both he and Cartman try to take ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' off the air. He lets Cartman take charge when he realizes Cartman's [[EvilerThanThou more hardcore than he is]], doing his best to keep Kyle out of the way. He does experience a HeelFaceTurn, however, as a result of Kyle giving him, in Eric's words, [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath "giving him one of his gay little speeches"]].

* CoolLoser: DependingOnTheWriter. There's no doubt he's the coolest character on the show, but his popularity in school (or even with the rest of the town) runs the gamut from adored by everyone for how awesome he is, to being a loner whose only friend is Milhouse. "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky" illustrates how easily he can lose his cool status.

* BoyishShorts: Close to the TropeCodifier. He (as well as nearly every boy in Springfield Elementary School) wears knee-length pants as his default look, in comparison to the pants-wearing men around him—including his father Homer and adult nemesis Principal Skinner. The times Bart specifically wears pants are few and far between, often for just the episode, and if it's not because of winter wear it's likely him appearing more mature (such as his white preacher suit in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E11FaithOff "Faith Off"]]). Hence him providing the page image.

** You better not [[CatchPhrase lay a finger on his Butterfinger!]]

* CatchPhrase:

** After trying to defend Marge from Ned Flanders (who was verbally assaulting everyone during his mental breakdown), Flanders eventually started violently tearing him down, and even suggested a new {{catchphrase}} when he is an adult: "Hey, buddy! Got a quarter?!". Bart even states that he is "both shocked and appalled" at Ned's statement.
