All of Bart Simpson's Prank Calls: Every Classic Moe's Tavern Prank

Few characters in television history are as closely associated with prank calls as Bart Simpson.  

Here's a look at the most memorable prank calls Bart Simpson has made throughout The Simpsons, including his famous calls to Moe's Tavern. 

Bart Simpson's classic prank calls to Moe's Tavern 

The Bart Simpson prank calls to Moe's Tavern are some of the most memorable telephone gags in The Simpsons.  

Most of the classic examples appeared during the show's early seasons. 

1. Al Coholic 

Episode: "Some Enchanted Evening" - Season 1 

One of Bart's earliest prank calls uses the name Al Coholic, which sounds like "alcoholic." 

Bart asks Moe if Al is there and gives him the last name Coholic.  

Moe then announces the name to the bar, causing the customers to laugh. 

This is one of the first examples of the formula that would become synonymous with Bart's prank calls. 

Interestingly, the joke was inspired by the real-life Tube Bar prank calls, which used similar fake names. 

2. Oliver Klozoff 

Episode: "Some Enchanted Evening" - Season 1 

Bart's other prank call in the same episode involves Oliver Klozoff, which sounds like "all of her clothes off." 

Moe falls for the setup and calls out the name in the tavern, allowing Bart to pull off another successful prank. 

3. I.P. Freely 

Episode: "Homer's Odyssey" - Season 1 

I.P. Freely is one of Bart's most famous fake names. When pronounced aloud, it sounds like "I pee freely." 

Bart asks Moe whether I.P. Freely is at the tavern. Moe then calls out the name, prompting the customers to laugh. 

4. Jacques Strap 

Episode: "Moaning Lisa" - Season 1 

Next comes Jacques Strap, which sounds like "jockstrap". 

Bart again relies on Moe's willingness to loudly announce a suspicious name to everyone inside the tavern. 

5. Seymour Butts 

Episode: "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish" — Season 2 

Seymour Butts sounds like "see more butts." 

6. Homer Sexual 

Episode: "Principal Charming" - Season 2 

In one of the more memorable variations, Bart uses the name Homer Sexual, which sounds like "homosexual." 

This time, Bart makes the call while he is in Principal Skinner's office and is supposed to be calling Homer. 

The prank causes an especially awkward misunderstanding when Homer hears the name and becomes suspicious about what is happening. 

7. Mike Rotch 

Episode: "Blood Feud" - Season 2 

Mike Rotch is another classic Bart Simpson prank name, sounding like "my crotch." 

Bart asks whether Mike Rotch is around, and Moe obediently calls out the name to the tavern. 

The joke is memorable enough that Moe later references Mike Rotch when Bart finds himself in youth court. 

8. The ridiculously long name 

Episode: "Treehouse of Horror II" - Season 3 

One of the strangest examples isn't really a conventional fake name at all. 

Bart gives Moe an absurdly long statement: 

"I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt." 

The prank takes place during the "Monkey's Paw" segment of Treehouse of Horror II, where Bart has enormous supernatural powers. 

9. Hugh Jass 

Episode: "Flaming Moe's" - Season 3 

This is probably the most famous time that one of Bart's prank calls backfires. 

Bart asks Moe for Hugh Jass, which sounds like "huge ass". 

Moe calls the name out to the bar, expecting another prank.  

But instead of everyone laughing, an actual man named Hugh Jass answers the call. 

10. Bea O'Problem 

Episode: "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk" - Season 3 

Bart's next classic fake name is Bea O'Problem, which sounds like "B.O. problem". 

Moe announces the name to the tavern, and Barney immediately responds, making the joke even more embarrassing for Moe. 

Moe realizes that Bart is behind the call and becomes furious once again. 

11. Amanda Hugginkiss 

Episode: "New Kid on the Block" - Season 4 

Amanda Hugginkiss sounds like "a man to hug and kiss". 

This prank is slightly different because Bart uses it as part of an attempt to interfere with Jimbo Jones's date with Laura Powers. 

12. Ivana Tinkle 

Episode: "New Kid on the Block" - Season 4 

Ivana Tinkle sounds like "I wanna tinkle". 

Unlike most of the classic prank calls Bart Simpson makes to Moe, this one isn't entirely Bart's doing. 

Laura Powers makes the call with Bart's help, using the same basic trick that Bart has used repeatedly against Moe. 

More Bart Simpson prank call names 

Bart's prank calls didn't stop with the best-known early examples.  

The series later brought back the gag in different forms. 

Some additional names and variations associated with Bart's prank calls include: 

Prank name	What it sounds like	Context
Anita Bath	"I need a bath"	Bart uses the name during a classroom roll call
Maya Buttreeks	"My butt reeks"	Another classroom roll-call prank
Maya Normousbutt	"My enormous butt"	Bart uses it while calling Hawaii
Drew P. Wiener	"Droopy wiener"	Bart uses it while calling Australia
Olav Myfriendsaregay	"All of my friends are gay"	Bart uses it while calling Sweden
I.M.A. Wiener	"I am a wiener"	Bart sends the prank to Moe by text
Moe Ronn	"Moron"	Bart uses the prank while Moe is attempting suicide
Tess T. Coles	"Testicles"	Bart uses the name while trapped in a secret facility

These examples show how the original Moe's Tavern gag evolved beyond the classic telephone setup.  

Some involve cell phones, text messages, classroom roll calls, or unusual circumstances rather than the traditional call to Moe's bar. 

Without a doubt, Bart Simpson's pranks have become a tradition.
