* "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E14DialNForNerder Dial N For Nerd-er]]": Lisa has always preached about how people must always tell the truth no matter how much trouble it will cause for others because "it's the right thing to do". When she and Bart thought they accidentally killed Martin, Lisa was desperate to keep the truth hidden, even forcing Bart to stay quiet about it because she's afraid that if the truth gets out, it will ruin her future.

** Marge's crusade against ''Itchy & Scratchy'', including forbidding her kids from watching it, is also hypocritical considering Marge's habit of ignoring every stupid and destructive thing Homer does throughout the series. On top of that, she never does anything to keep him from choking Bart whenever he gets on Homer's bad side.

** Bart gets called out for being a hypocrite for watching and enjoying the female Itchy & Scratchy cartoon after organizing a boycott. Lisa uploads his reaction to the internet and turns him into a meme.
** Later, Lisa criticizes Bart for getting involved in feminism without understanding the issue beyond "chicks get a raw deal". Yet when Krusty first announced the all-female Itchy & Scratchy cartoon, he openly admitted that it was [[OnlyInItForTheMoney all about profiting off of feminism]], and Lisa didn't seem to have a problem with that. Plus, when she attempts to educate Bart on the specific issues facing women, the worst thing she can think of is women's clothes not having enough pockets. If [[StayInTheKitchen that's]] the [[BabyFactory worst thing]] she can [[HonorRelatedAbuse think of]], she's the one who needs to [[UsefulNotes/{{Feminism}} educate herself]].
