      the scene that always makes me bust out laughing is when bart is the host for the burlesque house and grandpa simpson walks in, puts his hat on the rack, sees bart, turns around, picks his hat off and walks out. Then he opens the door and asks "is your name Bart?"

      Nancy Cartwright does the voice of Bart, Nelson, Todd Flanders, Ralph och Kearney, it's like two people making all the voices from simpsons.

    What's most impressive, I think, is how wildly varied Dan Castellaneta's vocal range is. Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, and Nancy Cartwright all do tons of different characters too, and they're also immensely talented, but if you listen close, you can pick out a little trace of their own natural voice in a lot of their characters. With Dan, none of his voices sound anything alike. It's like he's got twenty other people just living inside of him 😆

    Castellaneta is also an incredible improvisor. In one scene he was playing a homeless man ranting and raving while Wiggum talked to Bart and the rant was such a weirdly tight stream of consciousness, the director had to tell Dan to just make incoherent noises because it was distracting from what was going on in the foreground. I think it was in season 7 and you can find the full rant that involves Solzhenitsyn somehow.
