Top 10 Worst Things Lisa Simpson Has Done on The Simpsons

And now it's time to look back at some of the worst actions by the smartest member of the Simpson family, Lisa. These are the moments when she either let her ego run wild, forced her beliefs on others, or did things that were questionable.

The Top Ten

  1. Covered up the "murder" of Martin Prince (Dial 'N' for Nerder)

    While Bart may have been responsible for the whole situation, Lisa still had a part in it. After she accidentally knocks Martin off the cliff while trying to save him, rather than tell anyone what happened, she and Bart both try to cover it up.

  2. Became addicted to secondhand smoke (Smoke on the Daughter)

    One of the ballerinas: "But for every ballerina in the world, it's cigarettes."

    Lisa: "Cigarettes?! They can kill you. They did a whole episode about it on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."

    Ballerina: "If God didn't want ballerinas to smoke, how come I can do this?"

    Lisa: "No! All I need to stay focused is good old-fashioned fresh air. Nothing like fresh air. Fresh air."

    But it's all secondhand smoke in the fresh air, which somehow helped Lisa's terrible ballerina dancing.

    "I've gotten better since this morning. How could that have happened?"

    Ballerina: "Maybe it's all the secondhand 'focus' and 'pep' you are inhaling. They don't call these 'dancer sticks' for nothin'."

    Lisa: "I thought they were cancer sticks."

  3. Ruined Homer's barbecue (Lisa the Vegetarian)

    After becoming a vegetarian, Lisa begins annoying everyone with her newfound beliefs and even protests Homer's barbecue. When her protest falls flat, she takes extreme measures and uses Homer's mower to steal his pig and sends it rolling down Springfield until it gets blasted into the sky. Lisa, of course, refuses to apologize to Homer for wrecking his barbecue and runs away until she meets up with Apu, who, to her surprise, is a vegetarian, as he gives her some much-needed advice about learning to tolerate others rather than badger people for thinking differently than her.

    This is some pure SJW Karen stuff, especially for her age and considering this was before PETA became big.

  4. Attempted to sabotage Allison's diorama project (Lisa's Rival)

    In the episode, Lisa becomes extremely jealous when a new girl, Allison, begins showing her up and is even better than her at saxophone, and even manages to get first chair. So Lisa, with Bart's help, attempts to sabotage Allison's project by switching her entry with an actual heart.

  5. Broke Ralph's heart on live TV (I Love Lisa)

    Ralph ends up crushing on Lisa after she gives him a valentine card out of pity, and despite her telling him she doesn't feel the same way, he continues to pursue her, even inviting her to the Krusty Anniversary special. During the event, Ralph professes his love for her on live TV, and Lisa, enraged, snaps at him as she tells him that she never liked him and that the only reason she gave him the valentine in the first place was because nobody else would.

    While her actions were understandable, it probably wasn't the right time or place to do this, as Lisa does end up feeling bad for humiliating Ralph on live TV, and Bart replays the incident and even pinpoints the exact moment his heart breaks in two.

  6. Was jealous when Bart became good at jazz (Jazzy and the Pussycats)

    Lisa becomes jealous when she finds out that Bart is actually good at jazz and is irritated by his newfound popularity that she feels he didn't earn. She later begins adopting several animals and placing them in the attic. Later, Bart is making jazz music with the animals, and a tiger bites his drumming arm, causing extensive nerve damage and preventing him from playing the drums.

  7. Stole all the teacher edition books (Separate Vocations)

    After becoming disappointed when her Aptitude Test, mostly due to a glitch, reveals she is suited to be a homemaker rather than a professional saxophone player, she begins developing a bad reputation and starts acting out. She even goes so far as to steal all of the teacher's edition books. Bart is shocked to find out what she did when he searches her locker and finds all the books there. He willingly takes the rap to keep Lisa from ruining her life.

  8. Got a restraining order against Bart and used it to torture him (On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister)

    On one hand, Bart sort of deserved the punishment after he embarrassed Lisa on a field trip, which led to her filing a restraining order against him. To ensure Bart stays 20 feet away from her, Homer makes a 20-foot pole with a screwdriver at the end of it, which Lisa uses to torment Bart, as she constantly pokes him with it, forces him to ride behind the bus in a shopping cart, forces him to eat outside in the rain during lunch, and also forces him into the "Gay Interest" section of the library. She even continues to poke him while he's trying to eat his breakfast, even knocking over his milk. Bart may have deserved the punishment, but it still doesn't excuse Lisa's awful actions toward him.

  9. Tricked Clara into going the wrong way to the dance thinking that she was Luke's girlfriend (Dude, Where's My Ranch?)

    When the family leaves Springfield to get away from a song Homer wrote, they arrive at a dude ranch, where Lisa falls for a young boy named Luke. Until she overhears him on the phone promising a first dance with a girl named Clara, and, thinking that she's Luke's girlfriend, Lisa is heartbroken.

    When she meets Clara, she intentionally sends her in the wrong direction to the dance. However, she learns that Clara is actually Luke's sister, and to make matters worse, Clara ends up in danger. She and Bart, along with some unlikely friends, come to save her, and when she confesses to Luke what she did, he is disgusted by her and pretty much ends their relationship.

  10. Called Homer a baboon (Lisa's Substitute)

    There were a lot of "Homer is a primate" jokes back in the day, in the first three seasons, for context.

    No, Lisa, you are the baboon.
