The Simpsons: Nelson

By Wikipedia

Nelson Muntz (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) is a character from The Simpsons. As one of Springfield Elementary School's bullies, he takes delight in the pain of others, but is arguably the least cruel of his peers.

He is notorious for his unabashed displays of malicious glee, invariably accompanied by his trademark "Ha ha!" laugh; oftentimes, he makes his victim inflict punishment on themselves ("Stop hitting yourself!", "Stop butlering yourself!", "Stop endangering yourself!") He lives with his mom, who got fired from Hooters, and is very poor, living in a dilapidated house. Nelson's dad appeared to have left after saying that he was going to the store. As a result, Nelson has hallucinated that his father has come back to him. In some episodes, however, Nelson's father is still around to raise him: in one episode, he is Nelson's soccer coach. However, Nelson's dad returned in the 16th season.

As it turned out, his dad took a bite out of a chocolate bar, not knowing it had peanuts and had an allergic reaction. He ran out of the store and ran into a circus, who mistook him for a freak, taking him along for years.

It is assumed that Nelson, unlike his peers Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney, is actually a sensitive boy who was raised in the wrong circumstances. So far the only two people to notice this are Marge, who played surrogate mother to him in one episode, and Lisa, who dated him briefly.

Although in the 1st season, Nelson seemed to be Bart's antagonist, although he seems to be Bart's friend in later episodes.

Nelson is a fan of Andy Williams and Snow White.
