''Bart the General'' is a series of animated short films made by one [[GHXYK 2]], a member of the group known as "Famicon", and is based very, very loosely upon ''[[The Simpsons]]''. It is also a complete and utter [[Mind Screw]], the sort of stuff that would make [[David Lynch]] piss his pants. With an animation style that looks like it was drawn in Kid-Pix or MS Paint, and a narrative that cannot remain on one subject for any amount of time, the series is extremely surreal and frightening. The series comes in four parts with an apparent fifth, as the fourth ends with a TBC screen.
Although the series is extremely hard to follow, the plot can best be summed up as this: Homer/Omarn Simpson is living a peaceful life in the quiet suburb of [[
The narrative, at times, seems as though it is attempting to tell a straightforward story, but just when you think it's finally going to stick to one idea, some new strange event comes along and everyone's forgotten about the previous occurrences. Overall, the series is a strange one that definitely deserves a look.

** Omarn's voice goes from sounding like an unintelligible, blubbering idiot to a decent impersonation of early-''Simpsons'' Homer's voice by episode 4.
