Dead Bart is a great slice of internet fiction. I kind of wish it was real, just to see how disturbing The Simpsons can be. It's in the same vein as "Suicide Mouse". Totally made up, and the only videos you can find are poor attempts to recreate the legend by creepypasta fans.

I remember looking for it on youtube and finding some horribly garbled footage of a live action Mexican Simpsons sketch, claiming to be footage of the Dead Bart episode salvaged from a sealed crate in the company archives. If only the world we lived in was so colorful as it is on the interbutts.

The problem with Dead Bart lies within The Simpsons itself. Matt Groening has always been pretty dark and subversive when he wants to be. The Simpsons as a family have been brutally murdered more than once in the Treehouse of Horror vignettes. There's no point to produce or animate this imaginary controversial episode when the show itself was already fairly controversial and well-received.
