Bartholomew "Bart" JoJo Simpson is a character of The Simpsons, which has been both an inspiration and competitor to South Park. He was voiced by Mona Marshall.
He is first parodied when Butters hallucinates Dougie resembling Bart Simpson in "The Simpsons Already Did It".
A boy resembling Bart (presumed to be Bart himself) appears in "Cartoon Wars Part II". He mentions historical moments from Bart's life and assisted Cartman to try to cancel Family Guy and convince FOX Network to stop airing the show.
When Kyle arrives to stop Cartman, Bart knocks him out with his skateboard. After hearing one of Kyle's "gay little speeches", Bart instead decides to help save Kyle and Family Guy.
In "The Problem with a Poo", he meets Mr. Hankey when he arrives in Springfield.

Personality
On The Simpsons, Bart is usually portrayed as mischievous, rebellious, and cunning, but with a good heart. On South Park, he is portrayed similarly, but may be somewhat more bad-intentioned and destructive, as he stated that he could do terrorism. Additionally, Bart later helped Cartman with said terrorism by knocking out the clearly good-intentioned Kyle with his skateboard, then helped keep him trapped. However, Kyle does seemingly convince him to free him so he can stop Cartman by telling him something about becoming as bad as he is, likely indicating more moral responsibility. He also seems to strongly dislike Family Guy.
Trivia
