10 Reasons Why Bart Simpson Should Be Arrested

# **Basic Information**

**10 Reasons Why Bart Simpson Should Be Arrested** is the fifty-fifth (55th) video on the Master Raney channel on YouTube. Like how Master Raney explained in the 46th video about why Homer should be arrested, he discusses 10 reasons why his son, Bart, should be sentenced to juvenile detention.

# **Plot**

Master Raney shows a few clips from the 10 reasons why Homer Simpson should be arrested, then gets onto 10 reasons why Bart Simpson should be arrested after the video getting 2,500 views.

## **Number 10: Underage Alcohol Consumption**

Master Raney points out that Bart Simpson was seen drinking whisky in The Simpsons Movie while only 10 years old, which is clearly underage for any alcoholic beverages. Master Raney points out The Simpsons being a US sitcom, leading to his statement of the minimum legal drinking age being at 21 years of age in the United States. Master Raney tells that Bart was caught by his mother, Marge, drinking whisky, gets chased, and finishes the whole bottle.

## **Number 9: Selling Alcohol Underage (without a license)**

Master Raney points out in the episode, Three Men and a Comic Book that Bart is dissatisfied with the lemonade stand plan, thus switching to alcohol and selling beer to customers, which the cops later catch him selling beer underage and without a license, as Officer Lou was about to write Bart a ticket for selling liquor without a license, Bart offers the officers beer and got away with it. Master Raney presents a clip of Homer's reaction to Bart selling his beer.

## **Number 8: Theft**

Master Raney points out two instances, one, in Bart's Friend Falls in Love, Bart is seen stealing Homer's change and running away with it while being chased by Homer, but barely makes it to the bus, and two, in Marge Be Not Proud, Bart is seen shoplifting a video game at a Try-N-Save store (parody of Pick 'n Save), but gets caught by the security guard, Don Brodka, who takes him to the back room to show him a video about shoplifting, then Bart gets banned from the store's premises and is threatened with criminal charges if he ever sets foot in the store again. Master Raney plays the clip of Don Brodka calling Bart's parents.

## **Number 7: Trespassing**

Master Raney points out in Marge Be Not Proud that Bart changed the tape on the answering machine from Don Brodka's phone call to Camp Grenada, Bart gets taken by his family for a family portrait to the very Try-N-Save store that Bart shoplifted at and got banned from, Bart panics, sees the detective, and just as the family photo snapped, Bart gets caught by the store detective who caught him shoplifting showing up in the store after banning him, which leads to Bart's parents and sisters learning the truth, so instead of going to juvenile detention, as Master Raney points out, Marge becomes distant with Bart and Homer lectures him about stealing, needless to say, Homer goes off about police academy movies.

## **Number 6: Public Nudity**

Master Raney points out in The Simpsons Movie that Bart was skateboarding to Krusty Burger naked, only due to Homer daring him to. Master Raney points out that Bart does get arrested for the act, but instead of being taken into custody, Bart gets cuffed to a pole and the police summon Nelson to laugh at him for hours.

## **Number 5: Animal Abuse**

Master Raney points out in Duffless that Bart's science fair project idea was investigating the effects of cigarette smoking on dogs, which he forces the family dog, Santa's Little Helper, to smoke a cigarette, causing the pooch to hack up a lung. Master Raney points out that if anyone hasn't heard what smoking does, they should check out a 2018 video on the Master Raney channel, which is about the effects of smoking, so he links the audience to the video in the description.

## **Number 4: Making Prank Calls**

Master Raney points out the occurrence in various episodes, the frequent target being Moe Szyslak at Moe's Tavern, asking the availability of people with such dirty sounding names like I.P. Freely, Mike Rotch, Seymour Butz, Oliver Clothesoff, Amanda Huggenkiss, Bea O'Problem, Al Coholic, Jacques Strap, and Homer Sexual, leading to Moe reacting by making death threats to Bart for his prank calls. Master Raney mentions the gag ending in the series in a Season 30 episode due to Moe no longer reacting to those prank calls.

## **Number 3: Vandalism**

Master Raney states that Bart has done this in multiple episodes, pointing out his graffiti being his alter ego, El Barto, Skinner is a Wiener, etc.

## **Number 2: Fraud**

Master Raney points out in The Wandering Juvie that Bart tricks the entire town into attending his "wedding" with someone named Lotta Cooties. Master Raney states that Bart does get arrested and sentenced to six months in juvenile detention for the act.

## **Number 1: Near Murder of a Classmate**

Master Raney points out in Dial N for Nerder that Bart pulls a prank on Martin while excavating for arrowheads by pulling Sideshow Mel's bone while Martin was thinking the bone to be an artifact, hitting Martin on the head and inadvertently knocking him over the cliff, which Martin could have died and that Bart, along with his sister, Lisa, could have been thrown in jail, as Master Raney points out, if it were for Martin's death.
