(#7) Bart Created "The Simpsons"
This theory is a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation, but it makes some sense when you take into account Bart's creative side. Redditor /u/JustEmbarrassing thinks that The Simpsons is based on Bart's childhood, and is written by the Bartman himself as an adult. The theorist asks us to consider that beyond Bart's obvious love for comedy (i.e. Krusty the Klown), he has actually had a lot of creative success over the course of the show. He's won an Oscar at the Academy Awards for his short "Angry Dad," and he and Lisa also won an Emmy for their episode of "Itchy and Scratchy." Even though Bart is often depicted as a loser in flashforwards, this is likely because those moment precede his massive successs after creating The Simpsons.

(#6) Bart Created The Hypnotoad
In a cross-continental, cross-Groening theory from Redditor /u/coleburns815, we learn the true origin of the Hypnotoad. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Hypnotoad exists in the Futurama universe and (as the name would suggest), has the power of hypnosis. The Redditor claims that this mind-controlling creature would never have come into existence if Bart didn't release a toad into the Australian ecosystem at the end of "Bart vs. Australia" (S6E16). The general notion is that at some point after the toad was introduced to the Land Down Under it adapted into it's future form.

(#1) Bart Isn't Fooling Moe One Bit
Redditor /u/SenorSchnarf comes at us with a theory that suggests Moe Syzslak might not be as easy a target for prank calls as he appears. Over the course of the show, Bart constantly pranks calls Moe's self-named bar, fooling the beer slinger with some of the cheapest setups and punchlines available to a fourth grader. But Moe doesn't fall for them because he's too stupid to pick up on the bit; he does it on purpose to entertain the son of one of his best customers. Moe actually really loves Bart, so he's happy to make a fool of himself by playing along with pranks like:
Bart: I'd like to speak to a Mr. Jazz. First name Hugh.
Moe: Hugh Jazz. Somebody check the restroom for a Hugh Jazz.

(#10) Bart Will Become An Agent Of Hell
There is most certainly something devilish about Bart Simpson, though usually it's portrayed in a playful manner. Redditor /u/mirrorspirit thinks that not only is this accurate, but it might be literal. This theory proposes the idea that after he's left this Earth, Bart will go on to be an angel of hell. What this means exactly is left somewhat unclear, but the basic idea is that because Bart has a bad streak, but is also able to fight corruption (i.e. Sideshow Bob, Whacking Day), he would be the perfect candidate for the devil to recruit as a keeper of the (un)peace.

(#12) Bart Is Totally Covered In Yellow Fur
Marge has blue hair (naturally, then dyed). Homer has a few hairs. But Bart (along with Lisa and Maggie, for that matter) has a spikey topper that seamlessly transitions from the rest of his head. If you ask theRedditor /u/samx3i, this is becuase Bart is actually covered in a thin layer of yellow hair. To be fair, even Bart is unsure what's going on with his head. In "The Blue and the Gray" (S22E13), he remarks:
"I just have one question about hair. Where does mine start?"
Good question. And according to this theory, the answer is that there is no beginning nor end. Bart's yellow fur coats his entire body, and is long enough on the top to style.

(#2) Bart Simpson Is A Stone Cutter
In "Homer the Great" (S6E12), Homer becomes a Stonecutter after learning that Abe is already part of the order. But was Homer the second member of the Simpson clan to join? If you ask Redditor /u/TyPiper93, it was actually Bart.
The theory points to a few key clues. For example, at the dinner table, Bart has a cagey response to Homer's comment that Lenny and Karl are getting special treatment at work. Does he know something that he's not telling? Also, it's worth taking a look at the code of becoming a Stonecutter. Beyond having a blood relative already initiated, the only way to become one is a to save the life of a member. Bart has done just that. In "Blood Feud" (S2E22), Bart donates his blood to save Mr. Burns' life. Lastly, the Redditor points out that Bart never faces any serious consequences at school (nothing worse than chalkboard-scrawling detention, anyway). Maybe he's getting off easy because his sacred brother Principal Skinner is also a Stonecutter.
