The Simpsons

Milhouse Van Houten is a recurring character on the animated television series, The Simpsons. He is Bart Simpson's best friend and a constant companion in Bart's various adventures and misadventures.

Milhouse is characterized as a deeply insecure, awkward, and often unlucky boy. He is frequently bullied, both at school and by Bart, despite their close friendship. He possesses a notable lack of social skills and a tendency to be accident-prone.

His parents, Kirk and Luann Van Houten, are prone to marital strife and have been both divorced and reconciled multiple times, a dynamic that contributes to Milhouse's overall insecurity and emotional vulnerability.

Milhouse harbors an unrequited crush on Bart's sister, Lisa Simpson, often declaring his love in overly enthusiastic and inappropriate ways, much to her annoyance. He is also known for his distinct appearance, featuring large, blue-tinted glasses and a perpetually nervous demeanor.
