today's video is brought to you by squarespace for nearly as long as the simpsons has existed they've put a microscope on family dynamics the good and the bad but the dynamic that i find the most compelling challenging and ultimately heartwarming is the sibling bonslash rivalry between bart and lisa simpson the show not only does a great job showcasing the kinds of conflicts that siblings face growing up but also illustrating that beneath these conflicts is a genuine love and care for one another in fact bart and lisa's friendship might be my favorite relationship in the entire series and so many of my favorite episodes and moments focus on what makes that bond special so let's take a deep dive into tv's best brother and sister barton lisa but before we get started let's talk about today's video sponsor squarespace squarespace is the all-in-one platform to build your online presence run your business or make a personal website it's seriously so user-friendly i threw this cool page together really quickly it was easy to use and there are so many different customization options my website looks professional and it matches the aesthetic of my brand and youtube channel highlighting some of my favorite video essays i've worked on as well as some of my recent productions i've worked on professionally complete with the links to my work and contact info and i seriously can't express how easy squarespace is to use head over to URL_TOKEN for a free trial and when you're ready to push the website public use my link URL_TOKEN johnnyNUMBER_TOKENcellos to save NUMBER_TOKEN off your first purchase of a website or domain obviously the simpsons has been on for over NUMBER_TOKEN years now in fact the NUMBER_TOKENrd season just premiered which is kind of wild to think about and over these NUMBER_TOKEN plus years they've continued to bring bart and lisa's connection and rivalries to the forefront of the show that being said while i have seen a lot of simpsons over the years i'm most intimately familiar with the earliest seasons so this video is likely going to focus in on the first eight or so seasons but if you have any other recommendations for great barton lisa episodes that come later in the series please leave them below in the comments season NUMBER_TOKEN of the simpsons actually didn't have any episodes that were centered on barton lisa specifically but a classic episode bart the general did establish that bart is a kind and protective older brother when lisa brings cupcakes to school for her class a bully steals them and starts eating them and bart immediately jumps to her defense that's my sister man so what so give her back those cupcakes before i knock your block off lisa warns bart that the kid is friends with nelson muntz but bart puts his own well-being at risk to defend his sister like a good brother would it basically leads to bart repeatedly getting beat up by nelson and starting a whole neighborhood-wide war to try and take him down and it all happened because he defended his sister so while this episode didn't necessarily focus on their actual bond it shows the lengths that bart was willing to go for lisa and that wasn't a one-way street either lisa was actually supportive of bart in ways that he needed as
