(2018 NC opening)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Folks, (shakes head) we need to talk about the Bartman.

(Cut to footage of The Simpsons)

NC (vo): Let's go back to a simpler time, when a cartoon boy swearing was the most shocking thing on TV.

(The Simpsons are seen in a car going down the road)

Bart Simpson: So, any idea where this bastard lives?

Homer Simpson: (at the wheel, turning to Bart sharply) BART!

NC (vo): It's no question that The Simpsons has shaped and redefined humor for so many of us, but people forget in the early years, there were not only popular, they were insanely popular.

NC: Well... Bart was insanely...

NC (vo): ...popular, with commercials, toys, video games and countless T-shirts, Bart-mania as everyone called it, and by everyone I mean FOX executives, was on fire. People, especially kids eight and up has anti-authority nature, especially when authority itself tried stomping him out.

George H. W. Bush: Make American families a lot more like the Waltons and lot less like The Simpsons!

NC: Thank God, that didn't backfire!

Bart: How many times were you president, George?

NC (vo): At the height of his popularity, Bart was given what every popular icon in the early 90s was given; a music video. Do the Bartman was one of the many songs on the hit album, Simpsons Sing the Blues, and in 1991, it was given its own special video airing on FOX. It was filled with every late 80s cliche trying to turn into early 90s cliches. But what makes this stand out is not just the video itself, but the fascinating story in the making of the video.

NC: Now, granted, I've never reviewed a nostalgic song before, but I present that argument with this picture of Bart waving his ass at you.

NC (vo): To understand the story behind the video, though, we must analyze the video itself.

NC: So journey back to a time when this was risky...

Bart: Bastard, bastard, bastard!

Marge Simpson: (yelling) BART!

Bart: Bastard, bastard, bastard!

Homer: (yelling) BART! BAARRRRTTT!

Bart: Bastard, bastard!

NC: ...this is Do the Bartman.

NC (vo): The Simpsons head off to see Bart at his fourth grade recital which unfortunately has him all the way in the back.
