Video game enthusiast Bart Simpson (voice of Nancy Cartwright) has heard the hype about Bonestorm, the newest and most violent video game on the market, but while seemingly everyone around him has a copy of the game, he hasn't been able to try it himself, and Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) and Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) are not favorably disposed toward buying him a copy. One day, Bart is looking at the video game software at the Try-N-Save discount store, and discovers someone has left the display case unlocked. Bart grabs a copy of Bonestorm and tries to sneak out with it, but the store's chief of security, Don Brodka (voice of Lawrence Tierney) catches him before he can leave the store. Brodka ends up letting Bart go, but under the condition that he never enter the store again. Bart thinks he's dodged a bullet until a couple days later, when the Simpsons get all dressed up for their annual Christmas portrait...and Bart learns they're going to the photo studio at Try-N-Save. Brodka spots Bart and kicks him out while their photos are being taken, and while he figures his folks will read him the riot act, Marge's reaction is much more troubling -- she seems to have given up on her son, and Bart thinks he may have finally crossed the line where his mom can no longer love him anymore. "Marge Be Not Proud" first aired on December 17, 1995
