[playing Scrabble]
Bart: Kwyjibo: K-W-Y-J-I-B-O. Twenty-two points. Plus, triple-word score, plus fifty points for using all my letters... Game's over, I'm outta here.
Homer: Wait a minute, you little cheater. You're not going anywhere 'til you tell me what a Kwyjibo is.
Bart: Kwyjibo. Uh, a big dumb, balding North American ape. With no chin.
Marge: And a short temper.
Homer: I'll show you a big dumb balding ape!
Bart: Uh oh, Kwyjibo on the loose!

Bart the Genius - A review
This episode was a great follow-up to "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" as it developed Bart and Homer as characters whilst sticking to a comedic story. I think that this episode was definitely funnier than the previous episode, there were lots more laugh out loud jokes which got better as the episode went on.
The relationship between this father and son showed it's true colours where deep down Homer loves his son but he just wants him to do well and not fool around, so he is very happy and open to bond when it is revealed that Bart is a "genius".
There are also more hints that Lisa is more intellectual than the rest of her family but her intelligence is glossed over rather than acknowledged and congratulated.
Overall it was a brilliant episode and the writing was superb! 8/10
