(Yep, time for another simpsons discussion thread)
Why is it that Lisa likes Itchy and Scratchy (and the McBain films for that matter) and has a childish crush on Corey (this mainly refers to the early seasons) yet she's also the "Intellectual" member of the family? Wouldnt those things contradict her intelligence?

Even highly intelligent people need some low brow entertainment to relax with. Or she's being ironic.

A mouse systematically killing a cat over and over again is a type of humor that transcends borders, race, religion, gender, and intellect.

Humor isn't really indicitave of how smart a person is, or whatever.
From what I read, Einstein had a bitchin sense of humor, and dude was really smart.

Just because people are really smart doesn't mean you can't have a sense of humor. Lisa may be a genius of kid.. but she is still a kid.

She's 8. And besides, lots of intelligent people enjoy the real-life equivalents of McBain and I&S.

I like it when Lisa isn't a buzzkill.

Honestly, I think it's just a simple matter where they realized Lisa's too brainy and mature and like to toss in moments of her being just a typical 8 year old girl.
Probably my favorite example:
Marge: Kids, would you like a balloon?
Bart: Yeah, right Mom. Then I'd like a rattle and a wowypop. Actually, I WOULD like a wowwypop.
Lisa: Those balloons won't biodegrade for ten thousand years! ...... and if Bart gets a wowwypop I want a wowwypop.

Because Lisa used to be written like a normal kid. A gifted, precocious kid, but a kid nonetheless.

She's way beyond her teenage years now. She's been 8 for 20 years, so she should be nearing 30 now. |

Well remember it wasn't till this recent decade or so that Lisa became the soapbox for the creators to voice their opinions/be a super super buzzkill that everyone hates now. Lest we forget, people use to like Lisa.
