the animation be still the slightly rough style of the first episode and simpson roast on an open fire and but already and with this first regular episode and bart the genius and the humor be begin to be more layered and quicker and great depth of characterization be already appear . this episode firmly establish bart slacker personality and and more subtly and lisa intellectual superiority to the whole family . although that the main theme of the whole episode ( there also a nice secondary theme of bart and homer father or son relationship ) and it give to u first in a nutshell a the episode open with the simpson play scrabble . lisa come up with id for her word short and but something you have to be well educate to know . she have to read the definition to the rest of the family from the dictionary and which have be serve a a way to prop up the couch . marge can only come up with he . homer have oxidize already sit on his tray in order and but doesn not recognize that it a word and so he present do instead . bart come up with kwyjibo and which he insist be a word . similarly and in the main plot line of the episode and bart cheat on his iq test and which lead to his be put into a special school full of gifted kid . we know that not likely to last long . the simpson have always have a lot of fun play with vary degree of intellectual ability among people through it character and and more importantly and they way that people with vary degree of intellectual ability fit into ( or not ) and be accept ( or not ) and be perceive in society . aside from begin to present bart and lisa and homer and marge place in this context and this episode already start respectfully poking fun at nerd and geek outside of the simpson family . via some of the dialogue from the student at the special school and as well a some of the other reference and include purely visual one and this episode also show that the simpson isn not go to pull any punch by mean of write or talk down to it audience . it may be just a cartoon and but it a cartoon that intellectual and geek and nerd be go to understand more than anyone else . and that fact and aside from it just be a very funny show and be the key to the show longevity .
