'''Margaret "Maggie" Evelyn Simpson''',<ref>[[Mother Simpson]]</ref> the pentagonist of [[The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']], is the youngest child of [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], and the baby sister to [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]]. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she rarely ever talks, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the [[Simpson family]].

'''Margaret''' <ref>[[Mother Simpson]]</ref> '''Lenny <ref>[[Manger Things]]</ref> "Maggie" Simpson''' is the one-year-old daughter and youngest child of [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and [[Homer Simpson]], the baby sister to [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson]] and one of the five main characters of ''[[The Simpsons]]''. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and when she walks, she usually trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she rarely ever talks, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the [[Simpson family]]. Maggie is very young, at the infant age of only 1.
== Personality ==
 
[[File:And Maggie Makes Three 130.JPG|thumb|Maggie Newborn in "[[And Maggie Makes Three]]"]]Despite being the only member of the [[Simpson Family]] who can't speak, Maggie is in no way one-dimensional and has many different layers of personality. She appears to be somewhat detached from the rest of the Simpson Family and is described as "the forgotten Simpson" by [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]. When she, [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] were shipped to a foster home (the Flanders) Maggie was the quickest to adapt and almost joined them until she noticed [[Marge Simpson|Marge]]. Perhaps Maggie's most strained relationship was with her father, Homer but due to his incredible laziness he neglected Maggie and when they do try to bond, Maggie sees her father as a kind of monster and actually tries to run away, she also developed a father-daughter relationship with Moe the bartender but the two still love each other and Maggie has more than once saved Homer's life. Not to mention she said her first word, "Daddy" after [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] tucked her in and kissed her goodnight meaning it's clear that she loves him as much as he does her.
 
   
  +
==Personality==
Maggie's strongest relationship was with Marge after being transported to a foster family. Maggie almost joined the Flanders until she saw Marge once again "and became a Simpson again." At the beginning Maggie seemed to rely on [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and the likewise but eventually she became fiercely independent as she was able to plan a Great Escape-style breakout from a daycare center to get her pacifier back, she was able to save her father from drowning and rescue [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] from a mad tow truck driver.

[[File:And Maggie Makes Three 130.JPG|thumb|Newborn Maggie.]]Despite being the only member of the [[Simpson family]] who hasn't actually learned how to speak, Maggie is in no way one-dimensional and has different personality layers. She appears to be somewhat detached from the rest of her family and was once described as "the forgotten Simpson" by [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]. When she, [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] were shipped over to a foster home at the Flanders' after their parents were deemed unfit, Maggie was the quickest to adapt and cane close to joining them until her real mother [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] called for her and Maggie "became a Simpson again."
   
  +
Maggie is shown to sport a stronger devotion to her mother than her father, possibly because Marge is always home or shopping with her while Homer is mostly at his job working or hanging at [[Moe's Tavern]]. Once, when Homer tried to bond with her, she tried to run away. She developed a father-daughter relationship with [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]], who once saved her life. However, she still does love Homer and has more than once saved his life, not to mention she said her first word, "Daddy" directly after [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] tucked her in, although no one heard her.
Despite being a baby, Maggie is likely to be the most mature member of the [[Simpson family]]. However, she keeps her intelligence a secret in order to be babied. This is first revealed when [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] gives her a new pacifier, and when [[Marge]] isn't looking she smokes it like a cigarette.
 
   
  +
At the beginning, Maggie seemed to rely on Marge alot and the likewise but eventually became fiercely independent as she was able to plan a ''Great Escape''-style breakout from a daycare center to get all the babies' pacifiers back, which were being held under lock and key. Although treated by almost everyone as a natural and helpless baby, she, in fact, sometimes exhibits violent mannerisms and a surprising amount of physical strength. She was able to wield a mallet and bludgeon her father with it after being influenced by ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show|Itchy and Scratchy]]'', as well as able to drag her father back to the shore when he got caught in a riptide. She is also surprisingly proficient with firearms and is a natural markswoman, shown when she used a rifle to incapacitate [[Fat Tony]] and his henchmen, winging them all and driving them off when they came to kill her parents.
Even for a child her age, showed extremely violent mannerisms and a surprising amount of physical strength. She was able to lift up a mallet and bludgeon her father with it and accidentally shot Mr. Burns after he blocked out the sun. Maggie showed to be incredibly strong, able to drag a fully-grown man back to the shore and able lift up a shotgun.
 
   
  +
Maggie is also somewhat mischievous to a specific extent. When Homer was largely immobilized as a result of wearing a body cast, she spun him around like a bottle and took great joy in the endeavor. (This happened immediately after Bart wrote something on Homer's chest and refused to tell him what.) She also once locked her family out of the bathroom and bounced a ball as they yelled for her to let them in.
== Biography ==
 
When Marge became pregnant with Lisa, she and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] bought [[742 Evergreen Terrace|their first home.]] Seven years later, Homer felt financially secure enough to quit his job at the power plant and take his dream job at [[Barney's Bowlarama]]. Soon after, Marge became pregnant with Maggie, and unable to support his new family member, [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] reapplied for his job at the power plant. Homer fell into a deep depression as a result, but when he held Maggie for the first time after she was born he loved her at first sight. He keeps all of Maggie's baby photos in his office to cheer him up at his work place.

==Biography==
For the first 101 episodes of the show and from seasons [[Season 1|1]] to [[Season 5|5]] ([[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]), Maggie was not a year old yet, and was considered to be in her first eleven months between [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]] and [[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]. Maggie turned a year old in [[Lady Bouvier's Lover]], and has been a year old since that episode. [[File:MaggiePriceS2.jpg|200px|right|Maggie in the simpson intro]]

For the first 101 episodes of the show and from seasons [[Season 1|1]] to [[Season 5|5]] ([[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]), Maggie was not a year old yet and was considered to be in her first twelve months between the series' premiere of [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]] and Season 5's [[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]. Maggie turned a year old in [[Lady Bouvier's Lover]] and has stayed that way ever since that episode. [[File:MaggiePriceS2.jpg|200px|right|Maggie in The Simpsons Intro from Season 1 to Season 20]]
Like average toddlers, Maggie is impressionable and easily influenced by what she sees around her. She once hit [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] on the head with a mallet, (Born 2010) shot a suction dart at his picture and brandished a pencil in imitation of ''[[Itchy and Scratchy]]''. Despite her age, Maggie is a formidable sniper<ref>[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]] and [[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]</ref> and she shot the firearms off a group of mobsters in rapid succession with a rifle.<ref>[[Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]</ref> She was behind the attempted murder of [[Mr. Burns]]<ref>[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]</ref> and she fought [[Gerald Samson|Gerald]] during the [[St. Patrick’s Day]] riot, participating the republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.<ref>[[Sex, Pies, and Idiot Scrapes]]</ref> When the family's house was being raided by an angry mob, she was able to smash her baby bottle and use it as a makeshift weapon, and she knocked out [[Russ Cargill]], the head of the [[EPA]] with a rock when he was about to shoot [[Homer]] with a shotgun.<ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>

She battled [[Gerald Samson|Baby Gerald]] during the Springfield St. Patrick’s Day Riot, when the two found themselves on opposite sides. <ref>[[Sex, Pies, and Idiot Scrapes]]</ref> One time, when the Simpson's home was being raided by an angry mob, she was able to smash her baby bottle and use it as a makeshift weapon (against Krusty's monkey, which quickly ran away) but the house was still ransacked in [[The Simpsons Movie|''The Simpsons Movie'']]; in the movie, she also knocked [[Russ Cargill]], the villainous head of the [[Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]], unconscious by dropping a rock on his head when he was gonna shoot [[Homer Simpson|Homer]].<ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>
Maggie is often frightened of her father's attempts to bond with her, even though she does love him. Instead, Maggie shows a much stronger devotion to her mother instead, possibly because [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] is always at home with her while Homer is mostly at work or at [[Moe's Tavern|Moe's]].
 
   
She is keenly aware of her surroundings, and can usually be seen imitating the flow of action around her. Like [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Homer]], she is not fond of spending time with her aunts [[Patty Bouvier|Patty]] and [[Selma Bouvier|Selma]]. It is also known that she dislikes [[Baby Gerald]] very much, despite apparently marrying him in one of the [[Simpsons Comics]].

== Appearance ==

==Appearance==
Maggie bears a strong resemblance to [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], suggesting that Maggie will look very much like her sister when she gets older. She has pointed star-like hair and yellow skin. She wears a light blue onesie with a light blue hair bow, and she is almost always sucking on a red pacifier. At night, her onsie and hair bow are white. When she is not sucking on her pacifier, she most often has a straight lip like Marge and Lisa, but sometimes, she has a <span>curved upper lip like Homer</span>. [[Holidays of Future Passed]] reveals she is going to stop sucking her pacifier at around 3 or 4, and at 8 she stopped wearing her bow, although some of her adult appearances show her with a hair bow, and this episode is non-canon. In her future appearances as a teenager and adult, her hair is longer and still in its star like shape, except her first 3 "points" of hair fall forward and the rest are worn back. She is usually wearing at least 1 article of blue clothing in these appearances.
+
Maggie bears a fairly strong resemblance to [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], even looking near identical to her in future appearances. She has yellow skin and blonde, pointed star-like hair that matches the color of her skin, just like Lisa. She wears light blue footie pajamas without leg holes with a light blue hair bow and is almost always sucking on a red pacifier. At night, her sleep suit and hair bow are white. When not sucking on the pacifier, she most often has a straight lip just like Marge and Lisa, but sometimes, she has a <span>curved upper lip like Homer</span>.
  +
  +
"[[Holidays of Future Passed]]" shows her quitting her pacifier at around 3 or 4, and at 8 she stopped wearing her bow, although some of her adult appearances show her with a hair bow, not to mention that this episode is non-canon. In her future appearances as a teenager and adult, her hair is longer and still in its star-like shape, except her first 3 "points" of hair fall forward and the rest are worn back (at least when her head is seen at a third quarter angle like most cartoon characters are seen at). She’s usually wearing at least one article of blue clothing in these appearances.

==Quotes==

Maggie takes after her sister in many ways. Not only does she greatly resemble Lisa (looking exactly like her in a blue dress in flash-forwards to the future), she also is brilliant and musically inclined like her sister. Maggie can play the saxophone with great ability, despite the fact that she is only a year old. In "[[Lisa's Wedding]]" and most recently "[[Holidays of Future Passed]]", it is implied that Maggie is a fantastic singer, again taking after her sister.

Maggie takes after her sister in many ways. Not only does she greatly resemble Lisa (looking exactly like her in a blue dress in flash-forwards to the future), she also is brilliant and musically inclined like her sister. Maggie can play the saxophone with great ability, despite the fact that she’s only a year old. In [[Lisa's Wedding]] and [[Holidays of Future Passed]], it’s implied that Maggie is a fantastic singer, again taking after her sister. In the latter episode, Maggie becomes a famous rock star. She’s the lead singer of her band, is referred to as "the voice of her generation" on her Christmas card and plays lead guitar.
   
She also has, on numerous, numerous occasions, demonstrated that her agility—both mental and physical—is extremely advanced for her age. Once, Maggie organized the other infants in a daycare into a team to steal a key so they could take back their pacifiers. She figured out communication signals, gathered supplies, used the window-blinds string to pull herself into the ventilation shafts, used a Krusty Doll to lower herself into the room containing the Key (holding bottles to weight herself down and then dropping them so the string would retract), shot a suction-cup line across the room, slid across it with a hanger, and used the key to unlock the locker holding the children's pacifiers. Additionally, Maggie commonly moves along ropes with ease by hand-over-handing her way across them, such as when she tried to escape Homer when he was trying to bond with her by climbing across the clothesline. She usually keeps her intelligence a secret. ("[[A Streetcar Named Marge]]")

Maggie has, on numerous, numerous occasions, demonstrated that her agility—both mental and physical—is extremely advanced for her age. She organized the other infants at the Ayn Rand School for Tots to steal a key so they could reclaim their pacifiers which had been confiscated. She figured out communication signals, gathered supplies, used the window-blinds string to pull herself into the ventilation shafts, used a Krusty Doll to lower herself into the room containing the Key (holding bottles to weight herself down and then dropping them so the string would retract), shot a suction-cup line across the room, slid across it with a hanger, and used the key to unlock the locker holding the children's pacifiers, decidedly an insider-joke imitation of Tom Cruise's maneuverings in the film "Mission Impossible". She also commonly moves along ropes with ease by hand-over-handing her way across them, such as when she tried to escape from Homer who was trying to bond with her by climbing across the clothesline. She usually keeps her intelligence a secret, as in [[A Streetcar Named Marge]].
   
She also once crawled all over town to her mother's favorite hangout locations trying to track down [[Marge]]. Maggie usually has a pretty good comprehension on her surroundings and has at times tried to point out the obvious to adults (mostly Homer) who are oblivious to what is going on. She knows how to read and was seen trying to communicate to Homer using baby blocks, but failed because Homer can't read. Maggie has spelled out E=MC<sup>2</sup> with her blocks before and can change her own diapers. She has also used a fire extinguisher to put out burning curtains and has driven Homer's car. Maggie can also skateboard and has already said her first word despite being only a year old.

Although Maggie shows a natural inclination to weapons (see Maggie Simpson Violent Mannerisms|the above section for examples of her ability to defend herself), and aggression, she also has saved members of her family on various occasions, such as when she swam out to sea and saved [[Homer]] from drowning or when she saved Bart and Lisa from [[Groundskeeper Willie]] in [[Treehouse of Horror VI]].

On some level, Maggie is like Bart. Like her brother, she is capable of underhanded scheming and rallying others (like the babies at the daycare) in common cause, much as Bart frequently does with his friends and peers. More recently, she developed an interest in whistling, so Homer attempted to launch her baby-celebrity career, but this was sidelined by her first tooth emerging.<ref>[[Whistler's Father]]</ref>
== Relationships ==
 
   
  +
Maggie has done and demonstrated numerous things, like voting for Homer, accurate sharpshooting, leading rebellious crowds, bowling skills and numerous other skills.
=== '''Homer''' ===
 
  +
Homer has at times forgotten Maggie's existence which leads Maggie have not much of an opinion on him. However despite that, Maggie always come to her father's aid and their bond has slightly improved.
 
  +
==Relationships==
  +
  +
==='''Homer'''===
  +
Homer has, at times, forgotten Maggie's existence and Maggie, in turn, has shown disinterest and even fear towards her dad. In fact, she wasn't above targeting him after seeing a cartoon and running away from him when he tried to bond with her or when Marge asked him to hold her.
  +
  +
Nevertheless, she recognizes his heart and has shown herself willing to do whatever it takes to save or aid him. When he was on the verge of drowning, Maggie stopped at nothing to rescue him and when he was kidnapped by a crazed tow-trucker, she rode out to liberate him and bring him home (despite earlier wriggling out of his grip to get to Marge). In addition, when Homer and Marge were threatened by the local mob, she used a shotgun to disarm and injure them all and her parents never learned she was the shooter. At one point, when she thought Homer was lost at sea with Bart, she was clearly saddened (like Marge and Lisa) but was overjoyed when she saw him alive and hugged his arm in response. At one point, she gave her father one of her dolls to take care of to cheer him up and, while giving him a warm hug, replaced a dream version of Flanders (a reference to her once being one of his foster children) with one of Homer. Maggie's first word was, "Daddy", although no one was around to hear it. In "[[Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe]]", she was smiling while he pushed her stroller after Marge had him bond with her. Homer tried to save her from bullies, and she protected him after he was overpowered.
  +
  +
In "Lisa's Wedding", a teenage Maggie has a framed photo of her and Homer prominently in her room, suggesting they have a closer bond as she gets older.
   
 
=== '''Marge''' ===
 
=== '''Marge''' ===
  +
Maggie has a much closer bond with her mother than anyone else in the family. This was most evident when, forced to choose between the Flanders family or the Simpsons in a custody matter, she was undecided until Marge appeared and Maggie ran to her. In addition, when Marge was missing for a time (actually on a personal much-needed vacation), a saddened Maggie spent a large amount of time looking for her, even going so far as to search in all of the places she typically goes with her. And whenever she is worried or frightened and Marge is around, she always goes to her for comfort and security. Even then, however, she, at times, rebels against her mother's parenting by refusing to eat certain foods and resisting her mother's insistence that she wear an uncomfortable sweater.
Maggie has a more closer bond with her mother than any of the family. Most evident when picking between Flanders or the Simpsons, Maggie would have gone to the former until Marge revealed herself changing Maggie's decision instantly.
 
   
=== '''Bart''' ===
+
==='''Bart'''===
  +
Like the other members of her family, Maggie has at times shown aggravation towards Bart. At one point, she even slapped him repeatedly for choices that he made. And when she was "a mean drunk" after "getting high off the beer fumes", she drunkenly threw slow punches at him and at one point even had him in a stranglehold, although Bart did not appear to be fighting back. She also (in her own way) tattled on Bart, letting her parents know that he had a dolphin in his possession. Despite this, Maggie loves her brother very much. So much so, she played with him when he couldn't see Milhouse for a while, pulled several pranks with him, and joyfully square-danced with him at a Dude Ranch.
Maggie expressed absolute love towards her brother ranging from blowing kisses to playing along with his pranks.
 
   
  +
In addition, after he returned from a very poorly planned disastrous trip to France, Maggie gave him a loving hug upon seeing him again. On another occasion, she played a brief game of Police Detective with him. When Bart was accused of a prank, he, surprisingly, did NOT commit, she alone knew he was innocent and convinced her entire family to fight for Bart.
=== '''Lisa''' ===
 
Maggie seems to ask Lisa for guidance. However, she does expressed annoyance at Lisa at times.
 
   
  +
In one of the episodes, Bart starts singing some lullabies to her when she feels tired or scared, after he sing to her, he promises to her that he will sing her every night when she feels tired or fearing herself when he did with his father and other sister.
=== '''Mr Burns''' ===
 
Although she make amends with Burns by giving back Bobo, after Burns harmed each one of her family that she might have intentionally shot the old man as revenge.
 
   
  +
During two [[Treehouse of Horror VI|Treehouse of Horror]] segments, Maggie held onto Bart for security when climbing down from the tree house and when falling asleep, laid on him. However, she happily stole money from him, only to suck on, though, in lieu of a pacifier.

Also, next to Marge and Homer, Lisa holds and carries Maggie the most. However, Maggie does express annoyance with Lisa at times and will occasionally act smug towards her, such as when she developed her whistling ability.

The latter mentions she has an incredible singing voice before she almost performs "Amazing Grace" at the wedding, but she’s interrupted by Hugh announcing that the wedding is off. Despite her punk-like exterior, she has multiple books scattered across her room, hinting that she's intelligent like Lisa, while she likely gets her attitude from Bart. She also has a dirt bike trophy and a photo of her and Homer above her bed, hinting they have a closer bond in the future.
In the opening of "[[Treehouse of Horror XXVII]]", Maggie proceeded to kill [[Sideshow Bob]], the [[Leprechaun]], [[Kang]]/[[Kodos]], and (technically) the ghost of [[Frank Grimes]] by beheading them while they were distracted with dancing before trying to commit murder on the Simpsons, Maggie included, at a Christmas tree lot.

In "[[Holidays of Future Passed]]., it is seen through a 30-year photo montage that she grows up to be a world-famous rock star by age 22, acting as the lead singer in her band and also playing guitar, and being dubbed "The Voice of Her Generation". In the episode, she is 31 and pregnant, and has her baby, a girl who looks just like her as an infant, while traveling to visit her family for Christmas. Maggie once again is not heard speaking, as her doctor told her to not speak until she gave birth due to new research discovering the umbilical cord is actually a vocal cord. When she arrives home with her baby girl, she is cut off by [[Abe Simpson II|Grampa]] when she tries to answer his question of who her baby's father is. It’s implied it’s one of her band members, as when asked by the doctor they refused to answer.

Maggie only makes a brief cameo in "[[Days of Future Future]]", where she and Gerald are seen sharing a drink while staring romantically at each other <ref>[[Days of Future Future]]</ref>. This also hints that Gerald may be the father of Maggie's baby from Holidays of Future Passed.

[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the [[Simpson family]] in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening chose to go in another direction.<ref>DVD feature</ref> He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family. Maggie was named after [[Matt Groening]]'s younger sister Margaret "Maggie" Groening. She often sucked on a pacifier and wore a sleep suit, two traits Groening used for Maggie. Then Maggie made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on April 19, 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref>[[Good Night]]</ref> Groening thought that it would be funny to have a baby character that did not talk and never grew up, but assigned any emotions that the scene required. Her comedic hallmarks include her tendency to stumble and land on her face while attempting to walk (though this has been downplayed in later seasons), and a penchant for sucking on her pacifier, the sound of which has become the equivalent of her catchphrase and was originally created by Groening during the [[The Tracey Ullman Show|Tracey Ullman period]], and by [[Nancy Cartwright]] during the regular series.

During the show's opening sequence, Maggie is run through a supermarket checkout scanner, which reads that she is worth $847.63 (a reference to the monthly cost of infant-rearing in 1989). In "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]," the scanner instead reads "NRA4EVER," a reference to the running joke that the show's creators are right-wing radicals. In the newer episodes her price has changed to $486.52 (possibly because of the change in the cost of infant-rearing). In the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtgYY7dhTyE Treehouse of Horror XXIV couch gag , by Guillmero de Toro] the scanner reads 666 instead, referring to the number of Satan.

During the show's opening sequence, Maggie is run through a supermarket checkout scanner, which reads that she is worth $847.63 (a reference to the monthly cost of infant-rearing way back in 1989). In [[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]], the scanner instead reads "NRA4EVER", a reference to the running joke that the show's creators are right-wing radicals. In the more recently aired episodes, her price has changed to $486.52 (possibly because of the change in the cost of infant-rearing).

=== Voice ===
 
With few exceptions, Maggie never speaks but is very participatory in the events around her, emoting with subtle gestures and facial expressions. Maggie has spoken in "[[Good Night]]", the first [[The Simpsons shorts|short]] to air, after the family falls asleep. There was another time she had tried to talk in [[Making Faces]] short upon the task given by Bart and Lisa. On this occasion, Liz Georges provided the voice of Maggie. In "[[Bart vs. Thanksgiving]]", Bart has a vision of what could happen if he returned home after destroying Lisa's centerpiece. In this vision, Maggie says to him telepathically: "It's your fault I can't talk!"

===Voice===
Maggie's first word spoken in the normal continuity of the series occurred in "[[Lisa's First Word]]", when she was voiced by [[Elizabeth Taylor]]. Elizabeth Taylor's performance as Maggie was named the thirteenth greatest guest spot in the history of the show by IGN. [[James Earl Jones]], who voiced Maggie in [[Treehouse of Horror V]], was in seventh place. She later had brief dialogue in [[Treehouse of Horror IX]] at the end of "Starship Poopers", the third act, voiced by [[Harry Shearer]] using Kang's voice. From seasons [[Season 1|1]] through [[Season 18|18]], [[Yeardley Smith]] did many of Maggie's non-sucking noises and occasional speaking parts, but for [[The Simpsons Movie]] and since [[Season 19]], her non-sucking noises and occasional speaking parts are done by [[Nancy Cartwright]]. Although she has spoken many times, she has only had two canonical speeches that were real within the series. Her first canon speech was in [[Lisa's First Word]], and this word was "Daddy" (as both Bart and Lisa grew up calling Homer his given name); however, only the viewers and not the family heard her say this (at least until the Father's Day clip show). Her second speech was in [[Coming to Homerica]]. This time, the family '''did''' hear her speak.

According to [[The Simpsons Movie]], the first word the family heard Maggie say was "sequel?", in the ending sequence (unless one counts the [[Gump Roast|Father's Day clip show]] as being canon). It was stated in the DVD commentary that she was voiced by [[Nancy Cartwright]], who is also the current voice of Maggie in the series.

In [[Four Great Women and a Manicure]], Maggie (voiced by [[Jodie Foster]]) rallies her classmates with a stirring speech about injustice and creativity, though this is a non-canon story.

Maggie has saved people's lives on a few occasions. Maggie saved [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] from [[Groundskeeper Willie]] in [[Treehouse of Horror VI]] and she saves Homer from being killed by mobsters by shooting them down in [[Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]. Maggie has even saved her arch-enemy, [[Gerald]] from floating into space in a Simpson comic story called Bringing Down Baby. Maggie saved [[Homer]] a second time on [[The Simpsons Movie]] from [[Russ Cargill]] by smashing him on the head with a boulder. Homer also said "What a great little accident you turned out to be", which was referring to the fact that she was conceived at a time that [[And Maggie Makes Three|none of her parents intended to]], she also saved her father from drowning and from a tow trucker who kept him hostage.

Homer once said, "What a great little accident you turned out to be", referring to the fact that she was conceived at a time that [[And Maggie Makes Three|none of her parents intended to]]. She also saved her father from drowning in a riptide and rescued him from being held prisoner by an insane tow trucker from Guidoville whom Homer had offended. In the Season 27 episode [[Puffless]], she, along with the help of [[Plopper]] and an army of animal friends, save a possum from [[Spuckler family|The Spuckler Family]].

*Maggie has an [[Wikipedia:Oral stage|oral fixation]], meaning that she has the need to have something in her mouth at all times. In her case, she is obsessed with her pacifier and always has the need to suck on it. This is further proven in episode "[[Crook and Ladder]]", where Marge took her passy away and she threw a rampage over it. She gave up her passy at the age of 3, but even after that, she still had a slight addiction. In "[[Holidays of Future Passed]]", she was a full grown adult, and felt overwhelmed with stress, so she was given a passy to suck on, which successfully calmed her down.

*[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] generally address [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] by his first name as opposed to "Dad". Maggie is the only child not to follow this trend. This is not only because she can't talk, but also proven when her first word in "[[Lisa's First Word]]", was "Daddy".
+
*[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] addressed [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] by his given name as babies, with Bart even continuing to do this often up until the present day, with Homer's attempts to call him daddy failing every time. Maggie on the other hand was so far the only sibling to <code><u>not</u></code> follow this trend; Maggie's first word (in [[Lisa's First Word]]), was, in fact, "Daddy", although nobody heard her.
**In the episode [[Every Man's Dream]], Maggie made her first and so far, only singing appearance, where Homer had a psychedelic dream where he taught Maggie to talk, and she sang a blip of the song [[What a Wonderful World]]. However, this was only a dream.

*Maggie was the person who shot [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]] although in "[[Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times]]", [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] reveals that he was the actual shooter and says that he framed Maggie. However, Homer only said that because he was ranting and didn't know what he was talking about as he is bad at remembering things. Also the episode is non-canon.

As one of the five major title characters of the series, Maggie appears in a majority of all the episodes, as well as [[The Simpsons Movie]] and the Simpsons games. However, due to her young age and lack of major plot involvement, Maggie is often shown briefly in certain episodes as a background character. There are even certain episodes that center around other characters and locations, where Maggie doesn't make any episode appearances at all.

Good night.

―Maggie's first word[7] (The Simpsons show)

Margaret [8] Lenny [9] "Maggie" Simpson is the one-year-old daughter and youngest child of Marge and Homer Simpson, the baby sister to Bart and Lisa Simpson and one of the five main characters of The Simpsons. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and when she walks, she usually trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she rarely ever talks, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the Simpson family. Maggie is very young, at the infant age of only 1.

Personality

And Maggie Makes Three 130

Newborn Maggie.

Despite being the only member of the Simpson family who hasn't actually learned how to speak, Maggie is in no way one-dimensional and has different personality layers. She appears to be somewhat detached from the rest of her family and was once described as "the forgotten Simpson" by Homer. When she, Bart and Lisa were shipped over to a foster home at the Flanders' after their parents were deemed unfit, Maggie was the quickest to adapt and cane close to joining them until her real mother Marge called for her and Maggie "became a Simpson again."

Maggie is shown to sport a stronger devotion to her mother than her father, possibly because Marge is always home or shopping with her while Homer is mostly at his job working or hanging at Moe's Tavern. Once, when Homer tried to bond with her, she tried to run away. She developed a father-daughter relationship with Moe, who once saved her life. However, she still does love Homer and has more than once saved his life, not to mention she said her first word, "Daddy" directly after Homer tucked her in, although no one heard her.

At the beginning, Maggie seemed to rely on Marge alot and the likewise but eventually became fiercely independent as she was able to plan a Great Escape-style breakout from a daycare center to get all the babies' pacifiers back, which were being held under lock and key. Although treated by almost everyone as a natural and helpless baby, she, in fact, sometimes exhibits violent mannerisms and a surprising amount of physical strength. She was able to wield a mallet and bludgeon her father with it after being influenced by Itchy and Scratchy, as well as able to drag her father back to the shore when he got caught in a riptide. She is also surprisingly proficient with firearms and is a natural markswoman, shown when she used a rifle to incapacitate Fat Tony and his henchmen, winging them all and driving them off when they came to kill her parents.

Maggie is also somewhat mischievous to a specific extent. When Homer was largely immobilized as a result of wearing a body cast, she spun him around like a bottle and took great joy in the endeavor. (This happened immediately after Bart wrote something on Homer's chest and refused to tell him what.) She also once locked her family out of the bathroom and bounced a ball as they yelled for her to let them in.

Biography

When Marge became pregnant with Lisa, she and Homer bought their first home. Seven years later, Homer felt financially secure enough to quit his job at the power plant and take his dream job at Barney's Bowlarama. Soon after, Marge became pregnant with Maggie, and, unable to support his new family member, Homer reapplied for his job at the power plant. Homer fell into a deep depression as a result, but, when he held Maggie for the first time after she was born, he loved her at first sight. He keeps all of Maggie's baby photos in his office to cheer him up at his workplace.

For the first 101 episodes of the show and from seasons 1 to 5 (The Boy Who Knew Too Much), Maggie was not a year old yet and was considered to be in her first twelve months between the series' premiere of Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire and Season 5's The Boy Who Knew Too Much. Maggie turned a year old in Lady Bouvier's Lover and has stayed that way ever since that episode.

Maggie in The Simpsons Intro from Season 1 to Season 20

Maggie is impressionable and easily influenced by what she sees around her. She once hit Homer on the head with a mallet, shot a suction dart at his picture, and brandished a pencil in imitation of Itchy and Scratchy. [10] Also, she shot Mr. Burns [11] although it is not clear if she actually shot him or if his gun, which fell out of his pocket, discharged when they tussled over her lollipop, which he was trying to steal from her. She battled Baby Gerald during the Springfield St. Patrick’s Day Riot, when the two found themselves on opposite sides. [12] One time, when the Simpson's home was being raided by an angry mob, she was able to smash her baby bottle and use it as a makeshift weapon (against Krusty's monkey, which quickly ran away) but the house was still ransacked in The Simpsons Movie; in the movie, she also knocked Russ Cargill, the villainous head of the EPA, unconscious by dropping a rock on his head when he was gonna shoot Homer.[13]

She is keenly aware of her surroundings and can usually be seen imitating the flow of action around her. Like Bart, Lisa, and Homer, she is not content of spending time with her aunts Patty and Selma. It is also known that she and Baby Gerald mutually dislike each other very much, despite apparently marrying and in one of the Simpsons Comics.

Appearance

Maggie bears a fairly strong resemblance to Lisa, even looking near identical to her in future appearances. She has yellow skin and blonde, pointed star-like hair that matches the color of her skin, just like Lisa. She wears light blue footie pajamas without leg holes with a light blue hair bow and is almost always sucking on a red pacifier. At night, her sleep suit and hair bow are white. When not sucking on the pacifier, she most often has a straight lip just like Marge and Lisa, but sometimes, she has a curved upper lip like Homer.

"Holidays of Future Passed" shows her quitting her pacifier at around 3 or 4, and at 8 she stopped wearing her bow, although some of her adult appearances show her with a hair bow, not to mention that this episode is non-canon. In her future appearances as a teenager and adult, her hair is longer and still in its star-like shape, except her first 3 "points" of hair fall forward and the rest are worn back (at least when her head is seen at a third quarter angle like most cartoon characters are seen at). She’s usually wearing at least one article of blue clothing in these appearances.

Quotes

Although Maggie generally doesn't talk due to her being a little baby, there have been various occasions where Maggie has had words of spoken dialogue. Most of her speaking roles aren’t to be considered canon, however, with the only known true lines of dialogue being the ones said in Lisa's First Word, Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily, Lisa Gets an "A", The Simpsons Movie, Coming to Homerica, Friends and Family, and There Will Be Buds.

  • "Good night" from the first Tracey Ullman short "Good Night" - Maggie says this as the family goes to sleep in the bed for the night.
  • "Alright!" and "Aaaah! We're doomed!" from the Tracey Ullman short Making Faces - Maggie is seen babbling out the first quote before she tries to make a face, and she is also seen talking in unison with Bart and Lisa twice; Once when they believe they can get their funny faces stuck the way they are, and again when seeing herself in the mirror.
  • "Dooey shooey gavem mush." from the Tracey Ullman short House of Cards - Maggie says this at the end of the second act of the short.
  • "It's your fault I can't talk!" from the second season Bart vs. Thanksgiving episode - In Bart's imagination sequence, he imagines his family members blaming him for everything. One of them is Maggie, telling him this via voice over; Maggie's first non-canon word.
  • "This is indeed a disturbing universe." from the episode Treehouse of Horror V - In the story "Time and Punishment", one of the alternate dimensions that Homer goes to involved Groundskeeper Willie getting killed by Maggie, who says this in the voice of James Earl Jones; Maggie's third non-canon word.
  • "Moe." from the episode "Flaming Moe's" - Said by Maggie at the dinner table during Homer's "Moe" hallucination; Maggie's second non-canon word.
  • "Daddy." from the episode "Lisa's First Word" - this is Maggie's first canonical word.
  • "Daddily Doodily" from the episode Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily - When being raised by Ned Flanders for such a long period of time, Maggie begins to talk like him; Maggie's second canonical word.
  • "Very well, I'll drive! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! I need blood!" from Treehouse of Horror IX - At the end of the story "Starship Poopers", Maggie said this in the voice of Kang; her fourth non-canon word.

Violent Behavior

Maggie in Season 20

Maggie can be a violent child, especially for her youthful age. Maggie once had a violent encounter with Homer after watching the violent mannerism acts from Itchy and Scratchy. She had hit him over the head with a mallet and later attempted to stab him with a pencil.

When Mr. Burns planned to cover up the sun, he was shot by Maggie while trying to steal candy from her. The citizens of Springfield deemed it "an accident". After figuring this out, it cleared Homer of all charges. She later tried to shoot an amnesiac Burns again with a shotgun in her own house but Lisa stopped her before she could do so.

On another occasion, Lisa enlisted Maggie to be her fencing partner. However, when Lisa inadvertently condescended to the baby, Maggie dueled her proficiently and quickly overwhelmed her, even slashing an M into Lisa's shirt, Zorro-style.

When members of the local Mafia were going to kill Marge and Homer, Maggie shot and incapacitated them all with an air gun. Her parents never learned it was she who saved them.

In The Simpsons Movie, when the mob was attacking the Simpson family home, Krusty told his monkey, Mr. Teeny, to take out the baby, referring to Maggie. She then broke her baby bottle making rigid spikes of glass, showing that she was ready to take him on; this scared Teeny, who ran into Krusty's arms. Later on, in the same movie when the villainous Russ Cargill was about to shoot Homer, she dropped a rock on to his head, knocking him unconscious. Her violent actions are often illustrated as somewhat innocent or at least unintentional except when she is actively protecting herself or her family.

Criminal Record

  • Assault: Influenced by Itchy and Scratchy, Maggie once hit Homer on the head with a mallet and later attempted to stab him with a pencil.
  • Attempted Murder: In the episode in which Mr. Burns schemed to cover up the sun, he was shot by Maggie, although it was never made clear if the gun went off during a tussle when he tried to steal her lollipop. He survived the shooting and recounted what happened. The citizens of Springfield deemed the incident "an accident". Homer, who had been the prime suspect, was cleared of all charges. Some years later she threatened Burns with a shotgun when he had lost his memory and was in the Simpson home. Lisa stopped her.

Skills and Abilities

Maggie takes after her sister in many ways. Not only does she greatly resemble Lisa (looking exactly like her in a blue dress in flash-forwards to the future), she also is brilliant and musically inclined like her sister. Maggie can play the saxophone with great ability, despite the fact that she’s only a year old. In Lisa's Wedding and Holidays of Future Passed, it’s implied that Maggie is a fantastic singer, again taking after her sister. In the latter episode, Maggie becomes a famous rock star. She’s the lead singer of her band, is referred to as "the voice of her generation" on her Christmas card and plays lead guitar.

Maggie has, on numerous, numerous occasions, demonstrated that her agility—both mental and physical—is extremely advanced for her age. She organized the other infants at the Ayn Rand School for Tots to steal a key so they could reclaim their pacifiers which had been confiscated. She figured out communication signals, gathered supplies, used the window-blinds string to pull herself into the ventilation shafts, used a Krusty Doll to lower herself into the room containing the Key (holding bottles to weight herself down and then dropping them so the string would retract), shot a suction-cup line across the room, slid across it with a hanger, and used the key to unlock the locker holding the children's pacifiers, decidedly an insider-joke imitation of Tom Cruise's maneuverings in the film "Mission Impossible". She also commonly moves along ropes with ease by hand-over-handing her way across them, such as when she tried to escape from Homer who was trying to bond with her by climbing across the clothesline. She usually keeps her intelligence a secret, as in A Streetcar Named Marge.

She once crawled all over town to her mother's favorite hangouts trying to track down her mother, who was on a well-deserved vacation. Maggie usually has a good understanding of her circumstances and surroundings and has at times tried to point out the obvious to adults (mostly Homer) who are oblivious to what is going on. She knows how to read and was seen trying to communicate to Homer using baby blocks but failed because Homer can't read. Maggie has spelled out E=MC2 with her blocks before [14] and can change her own diapers, just as Lisa could when she was a baby. She has also used a fire extinguisher to put out burning curtains, driven Homer's car, skateboarded, and already said her first word despite being only a year old.

Although Maggie shows a natural inclination to weapons (see the above section for examples of her ability to defend herself), and aggression, she also has saved members of her family on various occasions, such as when she swam out to sea and saved Homer from drowning or when she saved Bart and Lisa from Groundskeeper Willie in Treehouse of Horror VI.

Maggie also seems to take after her father in bowling, as she has already bowled a perfect game (something it took Homer 39 years to do) at the age of 1.[15]

On some level, Maggie is like Bart. Like her brother, she is capable of underhanded scheming and rallying others (like the babies at the daycare) in common cause, much as Bart frequently does with his friends and peers. More recently, she developed an interest in whistling, so Homer attempted to launch her baby-celebrity career, but this was sidelined by her first tooth emerging.[16]

Maggie has done and demonstrated numerous things, like voting for Homer, accurate sharpshooting, leading rebellious crowds, bowling skills and numerous other skills.

Relationships

Homer

Homer has, at times, forgotten Maggie's existence and Maggie, in turn, has shown disinterest and even fear towards her dad. In fact, she wasn't above targeting him after seeing a cartoon and running away from him when he tried to bond with her or when Marge asked him to hold her.

Nevertheless, she recognizes his heart and has shown herself willing to do whatever it takes to save or aid him. When he was on the verge of drowning, Maggie stopped at nothing to rescue him and when he was kidnapped by a crazed tow-trucker, she rode out to liberate him and bring him home (despite earlier wriggling out of his grip to get to Marge). In addition, when Homer and Marge were threatened by the local mob, she used a shotgun to disarm and injure them all and her parents never learned she was the shooter. At one point, when she thought Homer was lost at sea with Bart, she was clearly saddened (like Marge and Lisa) but was overjoyed when she saw him alive and hugged his arm in response. At one point, she gave her father one of her dolls to take care of to cheer him up and, while giving him a warm hug, replaced a dream version of Flanders (a reference to her once being one of his foster children) with one of Homer. Maggie's first word was, "Daddy", although no one was around to hear it. In "Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe", she was smiling while he pushed her stroller after Marge had him bond with her. Homer tried to save her from bullies, and she protected him after he was overpowered.

In "Lisa's Wedding", a teenage Maggie has a framed photo of her and Homer prominently in her room, suggesting they have a closer bond as she gets older.

Marge

Maggie has a much closer bond with her mother than anyone else in the family. This was most evident when, forced to choose between the Flanders family or the Simpsons in a custody matter, she was undecided until Marge appeared and Maggie ran to her. In addition, when Marge was missing for a time (actually on a personal much-needed vacation), a saddened Maggie spent a large amount of time looking for her, even going so far as to search in all of the places she typically goes with her. And whenever she is worried or frightened and Marge is around, she always goes to her for comfort and security. Even then, however, she, at times, rebels against her mother's parenting by refusing to eat certain foods and resisting her mother's insistence that she wear an uncomfortable sweater.

Bart

Like the other members of her family, Maggie has at times shown aggravation towards Bart. At one point, she even slapped him repeatedly for choices that he made. And when she was "a mean drunk" after "getting high off the beer fumes", she drunkenly threw slow punches at him and at one point even had him in a stranglehold, although Bart did not appear to be fighting back. She also (in her own way) tattled on Bart, letting her parents know that he had a dolphin in his possession. Despite this, Maggie loves her brother very much. So much so, she played with him when he couldn't see Milhouse for a while, pulled several pranks with him, and joyfully square-danced with him at a Dude Ranch.

In addition, after he returned from a very poorly planned disastrous trip to France, Maggie gave him a loving hug upon seeing him again. On another occasion, she played a brief game of Police Detective with him. When Bart was accused of a prank, he, surprisingly, did NOT commit, she alone knew he was innocent and convinced her entire family to fight for Bart.

In one of the episodes, Bart starts singing some lullabies to her when she feels tired or scared, after he sing to her, he promises to her that he will sing her every night when she feels tired or fearing herself when he did with his father and other sister.

During two Treehouse of Horror segments, Maggie held onto Bart for security when climbing down from the tree house and when falling asleep, laid on him. However, she happily stole money from him, only to suck on, though, in lieu of a pacifier.

Lisa

After Marge, Maggie seems to be closest to Lisa. The two have similar levels of intelligence and general interests despite their youth and have a strong sisterly bond. Also, next to Marge and Homer, Lisa holds and carries Maggie the most. However, Maggie does express annoyance with Lisa at times and will occasionally act smug towards her, such as when she developed her whistling ability.

Mr. Burns

The two are not on good terms after Maggie shot him. Although the hatred she has for him is strong, she gave him his stuffed animal, Bobo.

Ned Flanders

When she, her brother, and sister go to live with the Flanders, she seems fine with it, especially when she said Daddily Doodily after spending time with the Flanders family.

Moe

Aside from a non-canon word of his name in Flaming Moes, she’s shown to like Moe as in a few episodes especially in "Moe Baby Blues", where he’s shown that he likes spending time with her.

Future

In "Marge on the Lam", when Homer gets his arms stuck in two vending machines, he remarks that "Oh, I’m gonna have these things on my arms forever.” Once this is said, Homer has a fantasy of Maggie’s wedding in the First Church of Springfield where Maggie removes the pacifier and kisses an unknown man.

Nine-year-old Maggie in "Future-Drama"

In "Future-Drama", Maggie, now a nine year old kid, went on holidays to Alaska, which became a sunny beach due to global warming. At this age, she looks exactly like Lisa does currently.[17]

Barthood 120

9-year-old Maggie kissing Gerald in "Barthood"

In "Barthood", Maggie is seen as a nine year old again, and she and Gerald kiss while at Milhouse's graduation party with Bart and Lisa.

Older Maggie

16-year-old Maggie in "Lisa's Wedding"

In "Lisa's Wedding", Maggie is seen as a 16-year-old with a punk-like style. She’s shown to wear her trademark pacifier around her neck as a necklace. According to Homer and Dr. Hibbert respectively, she never shuts up, although ironically whenever she tries to speak, she is always interrupted, and is "quite the hellion". The latter mentions she has an incredible singing voice before she almost performs "Amazing Grace" at the wedding, but she’s interrupted by Hugh announcing that the wedding is off. Despite her punk-like exterior, she has multiple books scattered across her room, hinting that she's intelligent like Lisa, while she likely gets her attitude from Bart. She also has a dirt bike trophy and a photo of her and Homer above her bed, hinting they have a closer bond in the future.

The Simpsons 32

Maggie with her band in Holidays of Future Passed

In "Bart to the Future", she’s 31 and she has a daughter, Maggie Jr., who looks exactly the same as Maggie and Lisa did as infants.[18] She doesn’t actually appear in the episode, but a deleted scene revealed she became an astronaut.

31 year old Maggie with her daughter

31-year-old Maggie with her newborn daughter in "Holidays of Future Passed"

In "Holidays of Future Passed., it is seen through a 30-year photo montage that she grows up to be a world-famous rock star by age 22, acting as the lead singer in her band and also playing guitar, and being dubbed "The Voice of Her Generation". In the episode, she is 31 and pregnant, and has her baby, a girl who looks just like her as an infant, while traveling to visit her family for Christmas. Maggie once again is not heard speaking, as her doctor told her to not speak until she gave birth due to new research discovering the umbilical cord is actually a vocal cord. When she arrives home with her baby girl, she is cut off by Grampa when she tries to answer his question of who her baby's father is. It’s implied it’s one of her band members, as when asked by the doctor they refused to answer.

GAjeSjl

Maggie's brief cameo in "Days of Future Future"

Maggie only makes a brief cameo in "Days of Future Future", where she and Gerald are seen sharing a drink while staring romantically at each other [19]. This also hints that Gerald may be the father of Maggie's baby from Holidays of Future Passed.

In "Flanders' Ladder", she’s revealed to never pass on, becoming a constellation.

Behind the Laughter

Matt Groening, the creator of the Simpsons franchise, first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of James L. Brooks' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts and had intended to present his Life in Hell series. When he realized that animating Life in Hell would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening chose to go in another direction.[20] He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family and named the characters after various members of the family of his own. Maggie was named after Matt Groening's younger sister, Margaret "Maggie" Groening. She often sucked on a pacifier and wore a sleep suit, two traits Groening used for Maggie. Then Maggie made her debut with the rest of the Simpson clan on April 19, 1987, aged 3 months, in the Tracey Ullman short Good Night.[21]

Groening thought that it would be funny to have a baby character that did not talk and never grew up but assigned any emotions that the scene required. Her comedic hallmarks include her tendency to stumble and land on her face while attempting to walk (though this has been downplayed in later seasons), and a penchant for sucking on her pacifier, the sound of which has become the equivalent of her catchphrase and was originally created by Groening during the Tracey Ullman period, and by Nancy Cartwright during the normal series.

During the show's opening sequence, Maggie is run through a supermarket checkout scanner, which reads that she is worth $847.63 (a reference to the monthly cost of infant-rearing way back in 1989). In The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular, the scanner instead reads "NRA4EVER", a reference to the running joke that the show's creators are right-wing radicals. In the more recently aired episodes, her price has changed to $486.52 (possibly because of the change in the cost of infant-rearing). In the Treehouse of Horror XXIV couch gag introduced by Guillermo del Toro the scanner reads 666 instead, referring to the number of Satan.

Voice

With few exceptions, Maggie never speaks but is very participatory in the events around her, emoting with subtle gestures and facial expressions. Maggie has spoken in Good Night, the first short to air, after the family falls asleep. There was another time she had tried to talk in Making Faces short upon the task given by Bart and Lisa. Liz Georges had done the voice of Maggie in Good Night, then Yeardley Smith did it in "Babysitting Maggie", "Making Faces", "Football", "House of Cards", and "The Money Jar".

In Bart vs. Thanksgiving, Bart has a vision of what could happen if he returned home after destroying Lisa's centerpiece. In this vision, Maggie says to him telepathically: "It's your fault I can't talk!"

Maggie's first word spoken in the normal continuity of the series occurred in Lisa's First Word, when she was voiced by Elizabeth Taylor, whose voice role as Maggie was named the thirteenth greatest guest spot in the history of the show by IGN. James Earl Jones, who voiced Maggie in Treehouse of Horror V, was in seventh place. She later on had brief dialogue in Treehouse of Horror IX at the end of segment "Starship Poopers", the third act, voiced by Harry Shearer using Kang's voice. For a few Tracey Ullman Show shorts, Yeardley Smith did many of Maggie's non-sucking noises and occasional speaking parts, but for The Simpsons Movie and since the 1st season, her non-sucking noises and occasional speaking parts are done by Nancy Cartwright. Although she has spoken a load of times, she has only had two.

Heroism

Maggie had saved Bart and Lisa from Groundskeeper Willie in Treehouse of Horror VI and saved Homer from being killed by mobsters in Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge. She even rescued her archenemy, Baby Gerald, from floating into space in a Simpson comic story called "Bringing Down Baby". Maggie saved Homer a second time in The Simpsons Movie from the villainous Russ Cargill by rolling a small boulder down onto his head. Homer once said, "What a great little accident you turned out to be", referring to the fact that she was conceived at a time that none of her parents intended to. She also saved her father from drowning in a riptide and rescued him from being held prisoner by an insane tow trucker from Guidoville whom Homer had offended. In the Season 27 episode Puffless, she, along with the help of Plopper and an army of animal friends, save a possum from The Spuckler Family.

Trivia

  • Maggie has had several rare occasions, where she's had lines of spoken dialogue (see "Maggie's Quotes" above). However, the only time where her dialogue was actually considered canon was in "Lisa's First Word", where she said "Daddy".
  • Maggie has an oral fixation, meaning that she has the need to have something in her mouth at all times. In her case, she is obsessed with her pacifier and always has the need to suck on it. This is further proven in "Crook and Ladder", where Marge took her pacifier away and she threw a rampage over it. She gave up her pacifier at the age of four, but even after that, she still had a slight addiction. In "Holidays of Future Passed", she is seen as a grown up, and when she goes into labor, she is given a pacifier to suck on in place of an epidural, which successfully helps her.
  • A running gag affiliated with Maggie is for her to trip over her onesie when she walks.
  • Bart and Lisa addressed Homer by his given name as babies, with Bart even continuing to do this often up until the present day, with Homer's attempts to call him daddy failing every time. Maggie on the other hand was so far the only sibling to not follow this trend; Maggie's first word (in Lisa's First Word), was, in fact, "Daddy", although nobody heard her.
  • Maggie enjoys playing internet poker.
  • According to the "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace" audio commentary, Matt Groening records and makes Maggie's sucking noise on her pacifier himself.
  • Maggie is right-handed, like her sister and father.
  • She’s of French, Native American and Scandinavian descent.
  • In most episodes, when she isn’t sucking on her pacifier, Maggie is shown with a straight lip like Marge and Lisa. Sometimes, however, she has a curved upper lip like Homer.
  • As of the episode of "Frink Gets Testy", Maggie is the only Simpson who hasn't been seen writing out a chalkboard punishment.
  • Maggie was the person who shot Mr. Burns although in "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times", Homer reveals that he was the actual shooter and says that he framed Maggie. However, Homer only said that because he was ranting and didn't know what he was talking about as he is bad at remembering things. Also the episode is non-canon.
  • Maggie is the very first character to strangle Bart as showcased in the Ullman short “Scary Stories.”
  • Sometimes, Maggie isn’t with the family when they go somewhere, most likely being babysat whilst the family is away.
