That's not ironic.

Martin is a teacher's pet. Milhouse is a dork. Bart, in the early seasons, before becoming a popular cool boy, was also usually portrayed as a misfit. I think this is before his superiority over Milhouse had really become established.

I usually watch mostly for Andy, but as the review pointed out, his role this year has been unsatisfying, underwhelming and basically inconsistent with the character.

oops - double post which showed up hours late.
edited to say this instead. god bless the edit function?

Third base!
