Changes: Jack Lassen

Latest revision as of 03:03, 19 January 2024

Jack Lassen is the main antagonist of Season 26's "Blazed and Confused". He was the new teacher of Bart, who made a quick enemy of him, due to his form of disciplining and sought revenge on.

History

After being transferred to Springfield Elementary School, Jack encounters Bart and is quickly introduced to his shenanigans. Feeling that the boy is in need of discipline, Jack decides to punish Bart on multiple occasions by cutting his hair, humiliating him in front of his classmates and by electrocution. Seeking revenge on his teacher, Bart secretly spies on Jack, eventually discovering an event far out in the desert called Blazing Guy, where Jack has been chosen to execute the main event by burning a large wooden effigy to commemorate the celebration. At the festival, Bart, accompanied by Milhouse, covers the wooden statue with fire retardant substance, ruining Jack's moment and humiliating him in front of a large crowd. Once Jack notices the boys' tampering with the statue, he attempts to kill the two by burning them. Bart climbs up the statue to avoid the lunatic teacher but fails to escape him. Seeing his son in life-threatening situation, Homer catapults himself towards the two, but quickly loses velocity due to his weight and breaks the statue's foundation. The statue quickly collapses, bringing Jack and Bart to the ground, where Jack gets placed in a human-formed jail.

Back in Springfield Elementary School, Jack is fired for his actions and later employed at the Springfield Penitentiary, where he meets Sideshow Bob. After seeing that both share mutual hatred for Bart, Jack suggests they partner up to kill the boy. Bob initially agrees but refuses at the last moment when Jack suggests that they share their proposed kill.

Trivia

Jack Lassen is ambidextrous since Skinner said he's left-handed, but when he writes his name in the blackboard he uses his right hand.
Blazing Guy is a parody of Burning Man.
When Lassen enters the classroom to see a defaced chalkboard, he is holding a coffee mug with a smiley face on it. When we see him again talking to Miss Hoover, his coffee mug has an angry frown on it.
Lassen is one of the few people who know that Bart is El Barto.
