Off-stage, Krusty has shown to be a manic-depressive, alcoholic, chain-smoking gambler which he states he became to deal with the stress of his job. He inhales moon rocks just to get him to "normal" and once became addicted to Percadon ironically the sponsor of his show at the time.
Krusty's cynicism has shown him to be a good comedian at times due to his way of seeing things as they are and most of his adult-orientated humor is uncouth for his role as a kids television presenter but his sellout tendencies, difficulty in taking matters seriously and enjoyment of his fame keeps him in a job he really hates.
Once, he attempted standup, and even succeeded when he gave his cynical impressions, but his success ended up ruined when he tried to market the Canyonero. Krusty, throughout his career as a comedian, sold out and totally over-merchandised his name from his own fast food restaurant chain to toys, clocks, swabs, eye-dabbers, a clown school, Canyanero and Vodka rather than work on his own act. It is implied that his over-merchandising was in a failed attempt at curbing his gambling addiction.
His gambling issues have got him into trouble with the mafia and close to bankruptcy and he has literally burnt money to light a cigarette and also implied while doing the act that such was even better than lighting the cigarette itself , once with a hundred dollar bill, a rare comic book and diamond pearls.
Once, he left a live show and his audience waiting so he and Mel could see if their lottery tickets were winners and regularly gambles on sporting events. One of his most notable traits would be his deep dislike for his fans. For him, speaking to the audience at his live show is "death" and he almost never signs his own autographs, once having Bart, who was his assistant at the time, sign his own name for a crowd of fans, another time being Cletus' children and the one time he did sign an autograph himself, signed it "K the C" which he justified by saying the pen he was using needed to last him all day.
Ironically, the one fan who interacts with Krusty the most, Bart Simpson, who also saved him from jail, reunited him with his estranged father and helped him when his career was going nowhere, Krusty shows as much apathy for him as he does the rest of his fans, initially refusing to join Bart's family for dinner and even forgetting who he is without a reminder. He also has an unbridled hatred for his supervisors, Fox Television and interns.
However, he has a notably closer relationship with Sideshow Bob and Sideshow Mel. Krusty with his father. He also has an unnamed sister and a nephew named Josh. He has several illegitimate children, one of whom is named Sophie. Krusty is known to be best friends with Sideshow Mel , but Mel is really just Krusty's sidekick. Krusty's real best friend is known to be Mr. Teeny , his helper monkey. He is also often shown to be friends with Sideshow Bob when he is out of jail, even though Bob tried to kill him.
He also shares a relationship with Bart , who is his biggest fan and calls him his hero. But while Krusty is fond of Bart and will often help him when he can, Krusty almost never remembers who Bart is and requires his memory to be coaxed and often just calls him "kid" rather than taking the time to use his real name, despite the fact that Bart saved his life on one or more occasions.
Krusty has been married fifteen times. He usually gets married to his sideshows. He rejected Princess Penelope at their wedding believing that she deserved to marry someone better than him, but he eventually got back together with her.
Krusty also had a child with a housemaid that said she was infertile. Krusty had a child named Sophie from a one-night stand with a female soldier named Erin. Despite his wealth, Krusty is frequently depressed when offstage. The contrast between these two personae is often used as a source of comedy by the writers. Krusty also exhibits laziness, irresponsibility, and promiscuity, among other negative traits. He smokes heavily and appears to have a low standard of health.
He also has a laughing problem; he can randomly laugh at moments. Krusty is shown to be completely illiterate in " Krusty Gets Busted ", and seems to be learning how to read in " Like Father, Like Clown "; it seems Krusty is completely literate by the events of episodes such as " I Love Lisa ", as he reads things in the episode.
Krusty revealed that he was illiterate during a court case after being framed for armed robbery by Sideshow Bob. He once committed tax fraud by placing some of his money in a secret account on the Cayman Islands. When he was accidentally exposed for it by Bart, he nearly lost everything. He deeply considered hitting Bart at the latter's request when he attempted to apologize, but chose against it, simply telling him to go home instead.
His illegitimate daughter, Sophie, was the result of Krusty during the Gulf War. Now estranged, her mother has developed a bitter hatred of clowns and displays it with her choice of artwork depicting violence being performed against clowns , this being because his actions caused her to fail in her mission. Krusty also implied when meeting Sophie and learning that she was the byproduct of a one-night stand during the Iraq War that, besides Sophie's mother, he also slept with an Israeli flight attendant as well as Cokie Roberts during the Iraq War.
Krusty is said to have married fifteen different wives, with each wife leaving him. At one point he tried to pick up a girl at some point until he discovered that the chick was actually male, in which the morning after, he tries to get a friend to get him out of the relationship. Outside of personal problems, he has also shown himself to have medical problems.
As noted above, he once suffered a heart attack on the air. He was also implied to have had heart surgery from another relapse during the time New Springfield was being blacked out by Old Springfield. In the audience a saddened Bart watches the show and when Bob notices Bart's emotional state, he invites him on stage for a new psychological segment called Choices. While on stage Bart reveals he thinks that Krusty was framed, however, Sideshow Bob tries to convince him otherwise.
While Sideshow Bob is talking to the audience he mentions that he has "big shoes to fill. He jumps to his feet and declares that Sideshow Bob is the one who framed Krusty. The police watching the show hear Bart's evidence and arrests Bob.
Sideshow Bob reveals that he framed Krusty because he couldn't stand all the antics and felt his intelligence was wasted on the show. Later at the police station Krusty is released and he thanks Bart for his help, him regaining his show.
He later hires Sideshow Mel to replace Bob. After breaking down at a dinner hosted by The Simpson family about his estranged father, Lisa and Bart work to get them back together. After the Rabbi closes the door on them and defends his point on radio show Gabbing about God , Lisa studies the books in the library , quoting esteemed rabbis and the Talmud, with the Rabbi countering them.
During Krusty's show, the pair reunite to "Oh Mein Papa" live on the show, with his father throwing a pie in Krusty's face. When hearing about Timmy O'Toole , a orphaned boy trapped down a well, he called up Sting , and arranged a charity single. The song became US 1 for one week, until Timmy turned out to be a hoax by Bart Simpson , leading it to slide down to Krusty after being offered a dump truck full of money, put his name on Kamp Krusty , a low budgeted summer camp.
The institution fed kids gruel and locked overweight children in a fat camp. Krusty never turns up at the camp and the school bullies - Jimbo , Kearney and Dolph ; are left to keep order. The kids are forced to make cheap quality wallets and forced to march and hike. When Mr. Black , who runs the camp, tells them that Krusty has arrived, it was actually Barney Gumble dressed up. This drives Bart over the edge and he leads a rebellion, driving out Mr. Black and the bullies, establishing Camp Bart.
Krusty, unaware of this while watching Wimbledon in England , comes to apologize to the kids, explaining that he got bribed. He then took the kids to Tijuana, Mexico. Krusty faced a rival in children's entertainment in the name of the puppet, Gabbo. Krusty's audience share sinks to rock bottom and is cancelled, leading him into depression. Bart and Lisa work to get Krusty's show back by discrediting Gabbo, leaving a camera on air during an ad-break, letting the audience hear Gabbo's bad-mouthing of the audience.
Both Elizabeth Taylor and his former sideshow Mel turn Krusty down, while Krusty gets into shape at the Simpsons' house. The show begins with Krusty singing " Send in the Clowns ", and much to his surprise, Mel joins him on stage. He also fires Luke Perry out of a cannon, sending him out of the studio, through the Museum of Sandpaper , through a acidic display in the Kwik-E-Mart and into a Pillow Factory , just as it's being demolished.
Krusty then hired Bart as his assistant, getting him to steal a Danish from Kent Brockman for him. However, overtime the catchphrase loses its effect and Bart goes back to normal life. Krusty was running out of cash, due to bets with the Springfield Mafia and settling with celebrities over stolen gags.
His accountant opens a Clown college to train local Krusty's. Homer Simpson enrols, while Krusty continues to bet away his money.
The Mafia take over the clown college and hunt down a fleeing Krusty. Homer, meanwhile, is milking his Krusty status and so ends on the receiving end of the mafia's attacks. Krusty meanwhile, went to Switzerland for plastic surgery, and ending up with breast enlargements. The mob captures Homer and the Don, Vittorio , who is a fan of Krusty's. He cannot kill him, so offers to spare him if he does the loop the loop trick on the small bicycle.
While this is happening, Krusty bursts in and the Don threatens to kill them both unless they do the trick together. Bart Simpson, Krusty's biggest fan, gained a cheque book and wanted Krusty's signature, slipping a cheque for a quarter in his pocket.
However, it is returned a month later stamped by a Cayman Island overseas holding corporation. He takes it down to the bank and Krusty is arrested for tax evasion. The IRS also sell his mansion, bury veterans in his family plots, sell his stuff including his pornography and sell his plane.
Krusty cannot take it anymore and seemingly crashes his plane into a rock after flying low over Springfield. His funeral is attended by many celebrities and hosted by Troy McClure , and stamps are unveiled based on him. However, in reality, Krusty has took up the new alias of Rory B. Bellows , faking his death. Bart believes he sees him at the Doctor's and driving, and so investigates. They discover Rory about to flee to sea and plead with him to stay.
They eventually convince him and he dives off his boat, blowing it up and cashing in the heavily insured life of Rory Bellows. Krusty agreed to take part in a comedy festival as part of his community service alongside comedians such as Jay Leno. However, his old-fashioned comedy fails compared to the modern comedians around him.
After a drunk night, he announces his retirement and while talking about his views on modern comedians, sends the press conference into hysterics, leading him to take up observational comedy and burning a dollar to show it to society. However, he later sells out and becomes spokesman of the Canyonero. He then discovered he had a long-lost illegitimate daughter, the result of a one night stand during the Gulf War.
Of course, Krusty voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who is also the voice of Homer is one of The Simpsons ' greatest characters and he's arguably the town of Springfield's biggest celebrity. Krusty is also Bart Simpson's personal hero; Bart's pure-hearted worship of Krusty defies the realities and many failings of the narcissistic clown. Krusty never seems to remember all the things Bart has done for him like re-ignite his career with Krusty's Komeback Special, serving as his assistant, the "I Didn't Do It!
Ironically, Bart rarely does anything selflessly for his father Homer , but the way The Simpsons was originally conceived by creator Matt Groening, this dichotomy was going to be a key subplot of the show: Homer was once meant to live a double life where he was secretly Krusty the Clown all along. It would have potentially brought Bart and Homer closer together - but in the end, the twist was changed to something much better.
Bart attends a taping of Krusty's show but he suspects the clown host isn't the real deal; Simpson yanks off his nose and it's revealed Krusty is an imposter - before a smash cut shows Homer and Marge watching the debacle on TV. Kamp Krusty just wasn't what they thought it would be.
Krusty isn't even involved! The school bullies are their camp counselors! It really is that bad. Meanwhile, Homer and Marge have never seemed happier. Homer's losing weight, gaining hair and reviving the romance with Marge. This is a really neat episode with a lot of spot-on jokes.
It's a classic. Kamp Krusty has since become a cornerstone of Springfield lore. Watch this episode and figure out why. Details Edit. Release date September 24, United States. United States. Gracie Films 20th Century Fox Television. Technical specs Edit.
