Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy

Episode Summary

The world's biggest collector of Malibu Stacy

Lisa is playing with one of her many Malibu Stacy toys one day, and realizes that her favourite doll is setting a bad example for girls everywhere. She is heartbroken by some of the stuff Malibu Stacy says, and is quick to contact the creator of the doll, Stacy Lovell. After Lisa gets her message across to her, they come up with their own doll - named Lisa Lionheart who is a good influence on girls. It's almost a huge success, until corporate henchmen and women behind Malibu Stacy create a new Malibu Stacy (with a hat) which knocks Lisa Lionheart out of commision. Lisa is not so disappointed though, when one girl buys her doll. She says it was all worth while in the end if she could reach just one person.

Quotes

[Smithers turns his computer on. A bitmapped Mr. Burns appears]
Burns: [with inconsistent pitch] Hello, Smithers. You're quite good at turning me on.
Smithers: Um...you probably should ignore that.

[Lisa plays with her new Malibu Stacy doll]
Lisa: Come on, Stacy. I’ve waited my whole life to hear you speak. Don’t you have anything to say?
[She pulls the string]
Bart: Right on! Say it, sister!
Lisa: It’s not funny, Bart! Millions of girls will grow up thinking that this is the way to act – that they can never be more than vacuous ninnies whose only goal is to look pretty, land a rich husband, and spend all day on the phone with their equally vacuous friends talking about how damn terrific it is to look pretty and have a rich husband!!!
Bart: Just what I was gonna say.

Mr Peterson: We need more secret sauce. Put this mayonnaise in the sun.

Homer: I’m a white male, aged 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me! No matter how dumb my suggestions are.
