Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn early idea for the series saw Krusty the Clown being revealed as Homer Simpson's secret stage identity. This storyline never developed, but this episode allowed writers to comment upon the design similarity of the two characters. Krusty's appearance and design is just that of Homer's, with clown make-up. David Silverman enhanced the lines under Krusty's eyes, and reshaped his beard line in order to make a clearer distinction between the two characters.
- GoofsHomer is driving the Krusty clown school loan car late at night. The view cuts to him talking about the job, then he get pulled over by Wiggum. when Wiggum gets out, Homer is driving the Simpsons family car (the pink/purple looking one).

[leaves]
Bart Simpson: I don't think any of us expected him to say that.

Underrated!
This is definitely one of the greatest episodes of all time, it's unbelievably underrated and it's disappointing to find that it only has an 8.6!
It's by no means a deep episode, but the comedy stands out amongst most Simpsons episodes. I can't tell you how many times I've quoted "Stop, stop, he's already dead!" There are a bunch of other amazing gags here as well, like when Homer sees everyone as clowns, or when the Mafia guy goes "I'm seeing double here, four Krustys!" This episode is rich with humour.
This episode doesn't get the recognition that it should as a Simpsons classic, which sucks because it truly has some of the best comedy in the show!
