Plot [edit]

The Simpsons drive to the park for a picnic simply find that it has been overrun by mosquitoes. While heading home, the family finds a Native American casino. Bart is turned away considering he is ten years one-time merely is able to sneak in by hiding in ventriloquist Arthur Crandall's dummy case. During Crandall's performance at the casino, Bart bursts out of the case and gets caught by casino guards. He is sent to the casino managing director's role, where the Native American manager shows him a vision of how his future will plough out if he does not change his ways.

Thirty years into the hereafter, Bart is a 40-year-old beer-drinking slacker trying to launch his music career subsequently dropping out of the DeVry Institute. He lives with his bandmate Ralph Wiggum in a beach cottage by the shore, where they are struggling to make ends meet and have resorted to mooching off Bart's parents and their neighbor Ned Flanders. The only gig Bart and Ralph can get is at a beach bar owned by Nelson Muntz, and even then, they are simply paid in popcorn shrimp. The forenoon after their disastrous concert at Nelson'south bar, Bart and Ralph notice out that they have been evicted from their firm.

Meanwhile, 38-year-old Lisa becomes "the first straight female President of the United states of america", and moves into the White House, to where Bart quickly moves in and invites their parents to alive in, and his antics bear witness a burden on Lisa's political activities, much to Lisa'due south discomfort. Homer uses the time to search for golden buried past Abraham Lincoln on the grounds of the White Business firm. When he finally locates the "gilt", it is in fact a chest with a ringlet in it that Lincoln had written on explaining that his "gold" is "in the heart of every freedom-loving American." Homer does non capeesh the metaphor and angrily curses Lincoln; when nowadays-twenty-four hour period Bart asks the manager nigh this subplot, he claims that he needed filler afterwards the main vision became "too sparse".

Bart disrupts one of Lisa'south addresses to the nation to promote his music career, which leads Lisa to be branded unpopular when Bart sings to the public on live television that Lisa will be imposing a tax rise to get the country out of debt; the leaders of America's creditor nations and then need that America pay them dorsum. Frustrated with his antics, Lisa distracts Bart by making him "Secretary of Keeping information technology Real." His conscience manifests in the grade of Billy Carter's ghost, who reminds him that he is an embarrassment because of his deportment and suggests he absolve for his mistakes (although he does endorse the casino within the vision).

Bart steps in at Lisa'southward meeting with the leaders and uses his skills at stalling debt collectors to salve the day, promising the money will soon be repaid in full, pleasing Lisa. Equally a thank-you lot, Bart asks Lisa to "legalize it", and Lisa says she will. Afterwards the vision is over, Bart promises that he will change; the managing director so disappears. Lisa finds Bart and tells him that the family unit has been kicked out of the casino later Homer pushed a waitress and Marge lost $xx,000. Bart tells Lisa about his vision of the hereafter where he has a rock band and a moped, while downplaying Lisa'south hereafter presidency as "some government job".

Production [edit]

"Bart to the Future" was written past Dan Greaney and directed by Michael Marcantel every bit part of the eleventh season of The Simpsons (1999–2000).[one] [2] It was the second episode of the series to show the Simpson family's life in the future, post-obit the flavor six episode "Lisa's Wedding ceremony" that aired five years earlier in 1995.[3] [4] Three more hereafter-set episodes accept been released since "Bart to the Future": "Future-Drama" (season sixteen, 2005), "Holidays of Hereafter Passed" (season 23, 2011) and "Days of Future Future" (flavor 25, 2014).[4] Greaney's inspiration for "Bart to the Futurity" came from "Lisa'due south Wedding".[5] He and The Simpsons author Matt Selman were sitting in Greaney's office one twenty-four hours, trying to come upwardly with new episode stories, when they received the thought of making a companion piece to that episode.[vi] Greaney wanted to write an episode set in the future that focused on Bart instead of Lisa. He thought it would be interesting to explore how the futurity works out for "a guy like Bart, who doesn't pay attending to school work and is all nigh beingness cool."[5]

Selman commented in an audio commentary for "Bart to the Future" that "the matter that really got the [Simpsons] writers excited near the episode was this very specific version of time to come Bart."[6] Greaney identified this version as "the guy who blames everyone else and tells everyone else that they used to be absurd, that it's everyone else's fault that his life hasn't gone the manner he wants it to go."[5] The Simpsons showrunner Mike Scully besides noted that hereafter Bart is the kind of person who is "ever waiting for some big sort of greenbacks payoff that he feels he'southward owed whether it be an insurance settlement, an inheritance, or something that's gonna come sooner or subsequently."[seven] Greaney said that everyone in the writing room recognized these traits from people they knew and therefore anybody contributed to the episode past suggesting lines for Bart to say and things for him to do.[5]

From left to correct: Ralph, Bart, Homer and Marge in the future. The original designs of futurity Bart were different to the i used hither.

According to Greaney, the animators originally designed future Bart as "cool and fun" and made several designs where he was "slim, attractive, and hip."[5] Greaney did not think whatsoever of these designs went along with the personality he and the other writers had assigned to future Bart, so he told the animators to depict the grapheme with belly fat, a ponytail, sags under his eyes, and one earring.[5] Scully said on the audio commentary that he idea the pattern of Bart looked "keen", though he added that information technology was "slightly agonizing" to come across the older versions of Homer and Marge in the episode, and joked that it is "a piddling scrap sorry to watch drawing characters age."[vii]

Greaney needed a setpiece for the episode that enabled him to get into a vision of the characters in the future, and The Simpsons writer George Meyer came upward with the idea of the Indian casino.[five] When Homer and Bart first enter the casino, Homer tells Bart that "Although they seem strange to us, we must respect the ways of the Indian." He proceeds to greet everyone in the casino by maxim "Hi-how-are-you?" in the rhythm of a stereotypical Native American chant. This joke was pitched by Tom Gammill, and there was a debate among the staff of the prove about whether or not to include it in the episode as Native Americans could detect it offensive. However, co-ordinate to Scully, Dan Castellaneta (who voices Homer) "did [the joke] so funny when we were at the table-read so nosotros decided to put it in and risk offending."[7]

Release and reception [edit]

The episode originally aired on the Play a trick on network in the U.s. on March nineteen, 2000.[8] [9] It was viewed in approximately 8.77 million households that dark. With a Nielsen rating of 8.vii, the episode finished 28th in the ratings for the week of March 13–xix, 2000. Information technology was the second highest-rated broadcast on Fob that calendar week, following an episode of Malcolm in the Middle (which received a 10.0 rating and was watched in ten.1 million homes).[10]

On October 7, 2008, "Bart to the Future" was released on DVD as part of the box ready The Simpsons – The Consummate Eleventh Season. Staff members Mike Scully, Dan Greaney, Matt Selman, and George Meyer participated in the DVD audio commentary for the episode. Deleted scenes from the episode were too included on the box set.[eleven]

"Bart to the Future" has received mixed reviews from critics compared to "Lisa'due south Wedding", which was met with positive response. Nancy Basile of Near.com listed it as one of the episodes she felt "shined in season xi".[12] While reviewing the eleventh flavour of The Simpsons, DVD Flick Guide's Colin Jacobson commented on "Bart to the Future", writing: "This kind of fantasy episode can exist hitting or miss, and that tendency holds true hither. However, more of 'Time to come' succeeds than flops. Though a few gags bomb, virtually of them prove pretty good. At no signal does this become a classic, but it amuses much of the time."[9]

Hayden Childs of The A.V. Club wrote in 2011 that the episode "was non and then good, although better than many of the real stinkers nevertheless to come at that point. Even so, information technology utterly failed to rise to the claiming of 'Lisa's Hymeneals.'"[4] In 2003, Ben Rayner of Toronto Star referred to "Bart to the Time to come" as "a lame 2000 outing" and noted that Entertainment Weekly "rightly dubbed [it] the 'worst episode ever'".[13] Winnipeg Free Press columnist Randall King wrote in his review of season 11 that the episode "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily" (which features the expiry of the character Maude Flanders) was "proof that the dependably vivid series could – and did – go seriously incorrect when information technology turned 11. Killing off Maude was a sin compounded by the Bart to the Hereafter episode [...]".[xiv]

In his 2006 volume Watching with The Simpsons: Television set, Parody, and Intertextuality, Jonathan Gray analyzed the many advert parodies featured in The Simpsons. He commented on "Bart to the Time to come", writing: "As if ads in children's toys or in churches are non enough, in 'Bart to the Future', an episode in which an Indian shaman at a casino treats Bart to a vision of his futurity, even his vision is interrupted when futurity-Bart says, 'I guess I am an embarrassment', and a ghost responds, 'Y'all sure are. But, hey, there's an embarrassment of riches at the Caesar'southward Pow-Wow Indian Casino. You can bet on information technology!' Here [...] The Simpsons uses parody with great effect, not but to illustrate how annoyingly and disrespectfully ads infringe on any territory, but also to mock their logic and rhetoric."[15]

Donald Trump presidency [edit]

News media highlighted the mention of Donald Trump when he ran for president and won the election sixteen years after.

The episode heavily implies that existent estate mogul Donald Trump became president, and caused a budget crisis that Lisa inherits. In 2015, news media cited the episode as a foreshadowing of Trump's future run for president;[xvi] the episode was produced during Trump's 2000 third-party run. Dan Greaney told The Hollywood Reporter in a 2016 interview that the thought of a Trump presidency at the fourth dimension "just seemed like the logical last stop earlier hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane."[17] In an interview with TMZ in May 2016, Matt Groening said he thought it was unlikely that Donald Trump would become the president of the Usa.[18]

On November eight, 2016, Trump was elected as the 45th president of the United States.[xix] [xx] Four days afterward, in the opening credits of the episode "Havana Wild Weekend", aired on November 13, 2016, Bart writes "Being right sucks" equally the chalkboard gag.[21] Scenes from a 2015 Simpsons YouTube post "Trumptastic Voyage" (which references existent-life scenes of Donald Trump around that time) accept been mistakenly identified as those from "Bart to the Future".[22] "Bart to the Future" attracted further attention in 2021 after the inauguration of Joe Biden when the clothes Vice President Kamala Harris wore for the event was compared to Lisa's outfit in the episode.[23] [24] [25]
