Because bart doesn’t often come out with funny lines. He’s cleverer than Homer.  
Homer’s stupidity is what makes him funny.

Vegas Mom: I could teach you to count cards.  
Bart: Eh. I got a system.

Bart (resisting Lisa’s babysitting): I’m using nonviolent resistance!  
Lisa: Ugh! I can’t believe you would invoke Mahatma Ghandi!  
Bart: Who?

And here’s one where Bart didn’t say much, but his expression said everything:

Chalmers: Laugh it up, you punks, 'cause you and Jan Murray here just cost our town the Olympics.  
Bart: Hey, Chalmers, where are you from?  
Chalmers: Well, I was born in Queens, went to Ball state, then made the move to Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Uh, why do you ask?  
[Bart is about to say something when Skinner Quickly puts his hand over his mouth]

The best of course is when Homer’s face appears on a box of dishwashing soap (I think it is soap anyway…) He searches out why and it turns out his face is a combination of a fish face and a light bulb.

Bart says “There’s your answer fish bulb.”

“I didn’t think it was physically possible, but this both sucks **and** blows.”
