History Characters / TheSimpsonsElementarySchool

* OnlyKnownByNickname: Most of the Superfriends are only known by their nickname. Kyle (the leader) and Booker (the black student) are the only actual names that people know about.

* NoNameGiven: Most of the Superfriends are only known by their nickname. Kyle (the leader) and Booker (the black student) are the only actual names that people know about.

* AmbiguouslyBi: He's been in relationships with women, however, there have been several shots where he's shown hanging out with Julio, who's gay, though the exact nature of their relationship to each other isn't known.

* EveryoneHasStandards: The teachers can do ''a lot'' to children (mostly crush their self-esteem and bore them with inane lessons), but lay a hand on them (like Otto did in "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer" and Mrs. Krabappel did in "The Nedliest Catch") and you're done.

* SuddenNameChange: Some others episodes and sources gave her different last names, including Hagstrom, Henderson, and Jackson. "Tapped Out'' {{handwave}}s this by saying that her father was wanted for counterfeiting and the different names are presumably different aliases.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Patty Bouvier has a sexual fantasy about her in the episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E15RomeOldAndJuliEh "Rome-Old and Juli-Eh"]]. Granted, Patty came out of the closet two seasons ago.

* {{Foil}}: Whereas Edna was depressed and bitter, Rayshelle is passionate and kind. Also, Edna's husband left her, while Rayshelle is HappilyMarried.

** His dad ran off by saying he was going to the store. [[spoiler:Subverted, as he actually had a peanut allergy and was abducted into TheFreakshow because of it.]]

* MommasBoy: Constantly kowtows to his mother. Which leads to...

* HatedByAll: Save for Bart ([[VitriolicBestBuds sometimes]]), Milhouse is disliked or ignored by virtually everyone.
-->'''Children''': Lisa likes Nelson!\\

A pair of identical twins in Bart's class who come off as a bit creepy and odd. Voiced by Creator/RussiTaylor (1990-2019) and Creator/GreyGriffin (2019-Present).

The school's biggest nerd, regarded as being even more of a geek and a teacher's pet than Lisa Simpson. Voiced by Creator/RussiTaylor (1990-2019) and Creator/GreyGriffin (2019-Present).

Unlike Nelson, Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney are more like petty thugs and are a few years older. They do bully the kids at Springfield Elementary, but other episodes show them committing crimes, such as shoplifting ("Marge Be Not Proud"), petit and grand larceny ("This Little Wiggy"), breaking and entering, vandalism, destruction of property, and child endangerment ("Kamp Krusty") -- among others. Unlike most duo or trio groups on ''The Simpsons'', Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney do have some character depth (even if it doesn't seem like much, as these tropes will show you). Jimbo is voiced by: Creator/PamelaHayden, Creator/TressMacNeille ("The Telltale Head", "When Flanders Failed", "Brother From Another Series", and "The Kids Are All Fight"). Dolph is voiced by: Tress [=MacNeille=], Pamela Hayden ("The Telltale Head", "When Flanders Failed", New Kid On The Block", "The PTA Disbands", and "The Boys Of Bummer"). Kearney is voiced by: Creator/NancyCartwright, Pamela Hayden ("The PTA Disbands"), Creator/YeardleySmith ("I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say D'oh")

An ill albino kid in Bart's class. Wendell has had four voice-actors over the years: Jo Ann Harris, Pamela Hayden, Nancy Cartwright and Russi Taylor

Two students who were often seen alongside Bart and Milhouse early on. They have since faded into the background. Richard has had four voice-actors over the years: Jo Ann Harris, Creator/NancyCartwright, Pamela Hayden, and Maggie Roswell. Lewis has had five voice-actors over the years: Jo Ann Harris, Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Hayden, Russi Taylor, Creator/TressMacNeille and most recently, Creator/KimberlyBrooks.

A foreign-exchange student from Germany who the Springfield students enjoy picking on. Voiced by Russi Taylor (1993-2019), Grey [=DeLisle=] (2019-).

* AmbiguouslyBi: He's been in relationships with woman, however, there have been several shots where he's shown hanging out with Julio, who's gay, though the exact nature of their relationship to each other isn't known.

* AmbiguouslyBi: He's been in relationships with woman, however, there have been many shots were he's shown hanging out with Julio, who's gay, though the exact nature of their relationship to each other isn't known.

* OutOfFocus: Lampshaded in "Das Bus", where Bart confuses one of them with Wendell.

* BitCharacter: In 20+ seasons, they have never received a single ADayInTheLimelight episode where they are the protagonists. At best, they are Lisa's classmates/sometimes friends.

* DeanBitterman: He can be one of these in his less sympathetic moments. In several episodes he schemes to get rid of things like the music program and razes the school's pool and gym, and once tried to enforce the use of uniforms for various reasons such as personal trauma or thinking he can cut budget corners that way or trying to increase discipline, but for the most part (especially comparstively recently) he does it just because he wants to kill any kind of joy the kids could have from coming to school... ''[[{{Jerkass}} just because]]''.

* HotForStudent: Not as often as one would believe, but it was played with in various ways with Bart. One sad example is in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E16BartTheLover Bart the Lover]]", in which Edna mentions that Bart is the closest thing to a man in her life, but she finds that more depressing than disturbing. In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E15FutureDrama Future Drama]]", 18-year-old Bart nearly dodges a bullet when he and a then-single Homer double date Edna and Miss Hoover. In this example, she's all for it, but when Bart politely rejects it, she encourages him that both of them could do so much better with other people. The real icing on the cake, though, is in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS24E15BlackEyedPlease Black-Eyed, Please]]". As a means to find out why the new teacher Ms. Cantwell hates Lisa, they send Bart in as a means of interrogation. Upon introducing him, Cartwell accuses her of this trope, to which Edna replies in full SarcasmMode.

* ADayInTheLimelight: She recieved a spotlight episode with "Sorry, Not Sorry", which shows her life outside of the school.

* {{Flanderization}}: Around season 5 and onward their mischeivous BitchInSheepsClothing side was dropped as was their cleverness. Instead their putting-down of others and being twins being the only traits they get outside of one or two moments and often get written as being dumb as the rest of the kids. More than one of their flashforward appearances have them be outright sluts.

They do bully the kids at Springfield Elementary, but other episodes show them committing crimes, such as shoplifting ("Marge Be Not Proud"), petit and grand larceny ("This Little Wiggy"), breaking and entering, vandalism, destruction of property, and child endangerment ("Kamp Krusty") -- among others.

Dolph is voiced by: Tress [=MacNeille=], Pamela Hayden ("The Telltale Head", "When Flanders Failed", New Kid On The Block", "The PTA Disbands", and "The Boys Of Bummer"). Kearney is voiced by: Creator/NancyCartwright, Pamela Hayden ("The PTA Disbands"), Creator/YeardleySmith ("I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say D'oh")

A student who serves as Lisa's best friend in Springfield Elementary. Voiced by Pamela Hayden and Creator/TressMacNeille.

Kyle, also known as Database, is the leader of the geek squad of Springfield Elementary. Kyle has had three voice-actors over the years: Creator/NancyCartwright, Creator/TressMacNeille, and Pamela Hayden.

Excluding Kyle, the Superfriends include Ham, Cosine Tangent, E-mail, and Report Card. Lisa is also a member of the club. Ham is voiced by Pamela Hayden. Cosine is voiced by Creator/TressMacNeille. E-mail is voiced by Creator/NancyCartwright. Report Card is voiced by Creator/HarryShearer.

* {{Expy}}: Üter appears to be based on Augustus Gloop from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory", given how Üter is a BigEater with a SweetTooth hailing from YodelLand. Interestingly enough, when Springfield Elementary School hosts "Diorama-Rama", it's revealed that Üter ate his diorama depicting scenes from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

Bart's closest friend, who acquires a bit of protection from his nerdy nature by being so close to the class clown and mayhem expert. Has a ''very'' deep unrequited crush on Lisa. Voiced by Pamela Hayden.

* MsFanservice: well obviously, if you look at “Hot Teacher”. Such as doing striptease with only balloons, having revealing outfits etc

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Invoked in the season 7 episode ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E12TeamHomer Team Homer]]'', where Skinner reminisces that during his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he lived on a "thin" stew made of fish, prawns, vegetables, coconut milk and four different kinds of rice. [[note]]Fans have theorized it was probably a dish called a Thai Tom Kha Goong.[[/note]] He subsequently adds that he tried to find restaurants that would serve it in the States for years and nearly went ''mad'' from the effort, because he couldn't find anyone who could get the species right, which suggests that he became quite taken with it.

* FanDisservice and {{Fanservice}}: On the one hand, his occasional [[{{Fanservice}} shirtless scenes]] reveal he's ripped like no one else in Springfield (except for maybe [[StupidSexyFlanders Ned]]). On the other hand, the episode "Bart's Girlfriend" has people passing out and reacting with disgust when his kilt came off. It may be more possible that no one was really expecting to be blasted in the face with a very good look at his "Scottish heritage" like that.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Save for Bart ([[VitriolicBestBuds sometimes]]), Milhouse is disliked or ignored by virtually everyone.

'''Mr. Largo''': NOBODY likes Milhouse!
** He doesn't even hold himself in high regard, frequently expressing sentiments of self-loathing.
--->'''Milhouse''': I am not a nerd, Bart. Nerds are smart.
** One of his quotes from VideoGame/TheSimpsonsHitAndRun he may say when you [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential kick him repeatedly (sometimes into a river he has to keep climbing out of just so you can kick him back in again)]] sums it up pretty well... to actually rather depressing effect.
