Marge is now canonically a high school troublemaker
Season 33, Episode 20 of "The Simpsons" first aired on May 8, 2022 which was Mother's Day in the United States. The episode is titled "Marge the Meanie," and seemingly in acknowledgement of its premiere date, features a Marge-centric A story that reveals a new element of one of TV's most iconic moms that was entirely unexplored in previous episodes.
As it turns out, Marge was a prankster in high school. As she explains in a part of the episode the official "Simpsons" account shared on Twitter (https://twitter.com/TheSimpsons/status/1523454306619248641?s=20&t=IG1vmBrjKBNUkmqMPcfooQ), she resorted to habitually pranking her principal after transferring high schools and struggling to fit in. Since graduating, this became something of a secret she kept close to the vest, only just deciding to reveal her secret to her family in this episode.
Naturally, iconic school prankster Bart is thrilled by this revelation. The two of them even go on something of a pranking streak, attempting to right some wrongdoings by some of Springfield's more prickly personalities. By the episode's end, of course, Marge appears to be recommitted to living prank-free. Nevertheless, Marge's backstory is forever altered, paving the way, perhaps, for a more mischievous side of Marge to emerge as the show continues.
