Does anyone know of episodes in which Lisa changes her accent (deliberately or otherwise)? I can think of three:

1. When Alex Whitney comes along, and Lisa imitates her when asking the boys for a date.

2. When the family (and Milhouse) go on holiday to Flanders's beach house, and she meets the other kids in the town.

3. In the "Spring Break" episode, when she turns into a hill-billy type with a straw in her mouth.

I'm sure there must be more, and I would be very interested in finding out

In the "Lisa's Pony" episode, in which the woman in charge of the stables is teaching Lisa elocution and she sounds like Katherine Hepburn.

dunno if this is what you mean, but i always love the ep when lisa uses bart as a science fair exhibit, for purely *intellectual* reasons, of course. but in a cletus-worthy drawl she's thinking,

that'll learn him to smash my tomater.

In the episode where Homer buys her a pony, Lisa speaks in a British accent, cause the teacher is also teaching her pronunciation.

In the episode where she and Bart find out what careers await them, Lisa a housewife and Bart a cop. She hangs out with the "Naughty" girls and speaks to her teacher with total disdain. "What are you rebelling against?" "Whatta ya got?" Steve Howarth wrote in message news:94kp09$a35$[email]...

In that same ''career'' ep,Lisa daydreams of being a fat housewife married to Ralph and asking one of her many ''younguns to fetch her pryin' bar'' to get up.

BTW,that might not be the correct ep,its either that or the one where Lisa thought she had the Simpson dumbening gene.

When Sharry Bobbins took them to the park and she had "ever so much fun" and when she was serving breakfast she asked Marge "more kippers, mum?" Does that count?

I think in "A Streetcar Named Marge (8F18)" she briefly adopts a "Southern belle" accent when describing one of the characters from the play.

There was the episode where Homer bought lisa a pony and the instructor threw in proper dialect. She says something like "Motha and Fatha, you have made me the happiest girl alive"
