So when [Nancy Cartwright ](http://time.com/3843921/carice-van-houten-simpsons/)— who has played Bart since the show began — decided to reveal herself to a lucky teen, it should come as no surprise that he pretty much lost his mind. In a clip that recently went viral, Cartwright spends some time chatting with the 13-year-old — who is selling candy bars for a fundraiser — before doing an “impression” of Bart for him. When he finally realizes who he’s speaking to, his reaction is absolutely priceless.
