"Two Bad Neighbors" is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It was written by Ken Keeler, directed by Wes Archer and inspired by the animosity toward the series' earlier run from the Bush family. In the episode, George H. W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States (voiced by Harry Shearer),[2] moves across the street from the Simpsons. Homer seeks revenge after the former President spanks Bart for his bad behavior.

"Two Bad Neighbors" originally aired on Fox in the United States on January 14, 1996.[1][3] The episode was selected for release in a 2000 video collection of selected political episodes of the show, titled: The Simpsons Political Party.[4] The episode appeared on the second volume of the collection, together with the episode "Duffless" from season four.[5] The episode was included in The Simpsons season seven DVD set, which was released on December 13, 2005.[6] Keeler, Oakley, and Weinstein participated in the DVD's audio commentary, alongside Matt Groening and the director of the episode, Wes Archer.[3][6][7] This episode also marks the first appearance of regular recurring character Disco Stu.
