] The '''chalkboard gag''' is a ] that occurs during the ] of many episodes of '']''. In this gag, ] is ] on the ] repeatedly; when the school bell rings, he immediately stops writing and runs out of the classroom. The phrase is usually in the form of an admonishment, implying that Bart has been assigned this task as punishment in ] for some misbehavior left partly to the viewer's imagination. |

In the early days of the series, a chalkboard gag was used in almost every episode, but, as ] time has increased, they have gradually disappeared. They are now shown as rarely as twice per season. The show's producers have said that they may soon disappear altogether. However, they seem to be making a comeback as there were eight chalkboard gags during season 17 including three in a row during the last three episodes of the season. The ], the ] and the ] are the only seasons to use chalkboard gags in each episode (excluding the Treehouse of Horrors). |

As a follow-up, the chalkboard gag on the Season 19 premiere episode, ], which immediately follows the Simpsons Movie, shows Bart writing, "I will not wait 20 years to make another movie." |

|
|
** Miserable Boy: ''I apologize for being born.'' |
