It was a pep talk from one nerd to another.
Michelle Obama (voiced by actress Angela Bassett) made a brief cameo on “The Simpsons” Sunday night to help Lisa Simpson get over feeling bad for being such an overachiever.
“This young lady thinks that just because she’s a high achiever nobody will ever like her,” the cartoon first lady said, wearing a purple ensemble and pearls, and trying to find Simpson in a crowd of schoolchildren. “That’s right Lisa, as an avid organic gardener I’ve read your blog,” she says when finding the cartoon daughter.
Obama goes on to tell the kids that before she was elegant and popular, she was something else: “Before I was who I am today, I was a nerd,” she said.
When a child interrupts her, he’s called the “Joe Biden” of the school.
And then making an exit, Obama shows off her muscular arms, unsticks the door of her helicopter and flies away.
