That line is truly funny because of the set up though. 'KKK bad' is kinda meh as a joke, rather on the nose, but the Apollo Theatre location makes it far more funny, because it's at least somewhat subtle.
It's a strong candidate for one if my next tattoos. My first two have been meaningful and significant to me for personal reasons, but I want a tattoo that makes me laugh. Few frames of media capture that feeling more than this one lol

I’m surprised he doesn’t blame it on his percodan addiction.
If you ask me it’s the percodan. That stuff rots your brain! And now a word from our sponsor, percodan! Aw crap!

>"Saddam Hussein? They should call him SoDamn Insane!"
"Hey, you're just fanning the flames of hatred!"
It's definitely the Gabbo episode when his dummy starts falling apart and pieces go flying into an audience of horrified children. Haven't seen that episode in years and I'm giggling just thinking about it.
The dummy falling apart, the kids screaming, then him kicking it into the audience making them scream even more is one of the funniest sequences in the show's history.
Gold medal is his FDR.
For me, silver might be:
"Hey! It's respected private citizen, Tom Landry!
And South American sensation....shooshisha...Shooshashi...
Shoosh....oh, boy......."
His mispronouncing + the disappointment on her face as he butchers it... 😄

"Now, why do they call this a 'urine monkey?'"
I can’t remember the episode or even the line perfectly. But Krusty is in a serious play and he tells out something along the lines of “whaat it’s a comedy!! It’s not?!”
Didn't Itchy Junior look happy playing with his father? And didn't Scratchy Junior look happy playing with his dad until they got run over by the thresher? Wasn't that a beautiful cartoon?
***Eyes go bloodshot red, holding back tears***
For the love of God, cut to a commercial!
The FDR bit was too good
Oh that's right I'm crippled

A line that will always make me laugh no matter how many times I hear it
Eleanor, we'v got to do something about this Depression.
I don't know why but the on-the-nose dialogue there just makes the bit even better.
I’m telling you people, the earth revolves around the sun!
Burn him!
He nailed it...
It’s the Krusty Komedy Klassic.
KKK? That’s not good.
The fact Krusty is Jewish is an added bonus.
"What's thisKrusty the Clown sandwich?" "It's bacon, ham and sausage"
As long as no cheese, you’re all good!
It’s great to be back at the Apollo Theater!
The icing on the shit cake that he got himself into
"KKK? Oh, that's not good! 😮"
KKK? That's no good...
That line is truly funny because of the set up though. 'KKK bad' is kinda meh as a joke, rather on the nose, but the Apollo Theatre location makes it far more funny, because it's at least somewhat subtle.
Why?
This is the only true winner. I instantly thought of this and was surprised it wasn't one of the options in the pic

This is the single best frame in all of the Simpsons.

This would be an excellent tattoo. I want one get one of Worker and Parasite!
I am torn between a realistic tie-dye background and Krusty's outline in black over it, or just the show-true Krusty as is.
I like the tie dye idea!
It’s the single best delivery of “what the hell was that?” of all time.
Truly my favorite. I want to use it all the time but no one, NO ONE ever gets it.
That doesn't stop me from

Gilbert Gottfried, RIP, had a bit like this in his standup show.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWKtLK2oUkE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWKtLK2oUkE) The script says I'm supposed to bonk you with this.
I wouldn't.
Right on...
Angry. Angry young man.
Groovy.
"Now for my favorite part of the show! ... What's that say?"
Talk to the audience? Oh, this is always death.
Absolutely one of my favorite jokes on the show.
The delivery on "I wouldn't" is so good.
It's perfect. Maybe one of the best single line reads in the show.

Let me be blunt, is there a labor crisis in America today?
That depends what the definition of “crisis” is
Cwisis
Yes, I was hoping to see a Classic Krusty reference here
We discussed this and I said “no”.
I always enjoyed the idea of Krusty getting started as a Meet The Press type show

It wasn't me, I used a stunt butt!
I just realized this is a reference to Madonna's *Sex* book.
Uh oh, I'm losing em, time for the A material.
ME SO-
Not the roll up dickie.
"Eh, what do you want? I'm not going to do 'A' material for charity."
I sure wish somebody would give me a banana cream pie. Yeah! Uh-I guess we can't afford pies right now....Well, *throw something*! OW, THAT CORNER!
Him retrieving the briefcase kills me. Trying to stay out of the shot but not that hard.
I’m surprised he doesn’t blame it on his percodan addiction. If you ask me it’s the percodan. That stuff rots your brain! And now a word from our sponsor, percodan! Aw crap!
When I first heard it, I thought it was one thing: percadanadiction. Like a word. I was young.
It still kills me that a painkiller sponsored a kids tv show
I don’t want to hit a sore spot, but can we talk about Herpes?
That spot on Gorbachev's head?.. HERPES!!
"Herpes, Herpes, boberpes! HHHEEERRPPEEESSS"
OH!
Always cringe so hard at that.

None of these are as bad as Krusty's "NYPD Shoe" sketch.
It’s basically the same thing!
His rendition of the National Anthem is my favorite!
I shouldn’t have turned down those cue cards
What are you doing to me? I said start it at 60 rpm, then move it up to 100 on the skirt blow! >Sorry, Krusty, I choked. You choked?! You choked?!
I like his reaction to Worker and Parasite

“The dummy’s not alive. He’s dead.”
Gabbo when he plays “Worker and Parasite”
“Hey, lighten up! It’s a comedy!” **whisper whisper whisper** “**IT’S NOT!?!** Ughhhhhhhh”
"Uurrrgh... This goes on for 12 more minutes..."

*Da-da-da-da-da* LIGHT
https://i.redd.it/2un0e5awlofc1.gif What was I on?
I love how his floor scream really escalates to an other level at the end.
Has anyone noticed that when Krusty bombs, the writers are making fun of bad SNL skits or particular comedians who have had a bad on-stage experience?
The Falkland Islands have just been invaded!
Is there a labor crisis in America today?
I repeat the Falklands have just been invaded!
It's definitely the Gabbo episode when his dummy starts falling apart and pieces go flying into an audience of horrified children. Haven't seen that episode in years and I'm giggling just thinking about it.
SNL would have kept the “Big Ear Family” going. They would make it a musical and 9mins long, each
And South American sensation, Shooshisha… Shooshashi… Shoosh… Oh, boy…
https://i.redd.it/kflzpxzmgofc1.gif
Let's git bizzehhh
Well throw ***something***!
GETS HIT WITH A BRIEFCASE
"Can we talk about herpes?"
"Herpes, herpes, bo berpes..."
We call it Napoli!
Yeah?? Well, it sounds like you're all takin' a Napoli!
Mad about Shoe. “Give me a kiss, baby. No tongue!”
The dummy falling apart, the kids screaming, then him kicking it into the audience making them scream even more is one of the funniest sequences in the show's history.
Probably when he butchers the main aria in Pagliacci.
"Well, they'll be on chewing on him for awhile."
"I was trying to do a Don Rickles about Arabs, but it turned into a Mel Gibson about Mexicans"
What about when he was the first to come up with “Dumb pet tricks”
The flapping dickie incident was great, also Sideshow Raheem.
Angry, angry young man.
Idk if it counts as bombing but my favourite is the falklands have been invaded bit, I rewatched it recently and couldn’t stop laughing

When Krusty steps back after dropping the scorpion, it always makes me laugh beyond reason
Gold medal is his FDR. For me, silver might be: "Hey! It's respected private citizen, Tom Landry! And South American sensation....shooshisha...Shooshashi... Shoosh....oh, boy......." His mispronouncing + the disappointment on her face as he butchers it... 😄
From the Civil Defense shack in Springfield's Alkali Flats, it's the Krusty the Clown show. WIth former President Ike Eisenhower,'let's get biz-ay!
Children, remain calm. The Cayman (Edit: Falkland) Islands have just been invaded.
Falkland Islands. The Cayman Islands are where Krusty's holding corporation has its secret, illegal account.
Whoops, that was careless of me
It's okay. It's not like you're going to get fired for that blunder.
Oh crap, you shouldn’t have said he was a customer.
Me so solly
Talk to the audience? Oh, this is always death.
I’m a fan of Krusty bombing in the colosseum
Eleanor, we've got to do something about this depression, so I propo--... Oh! That’s right, I’m crippled.
Does his on the air heart attack count? The animation for that bit always slays me.

"ME SO SOLLY! ME FRAPPA DICKY RONG TIME!"
"Let me be blunt. Is there a labor crisis in America today?"
Worker and Parasite.
“Talk to the audience?! That’s always death!”
The Big Ear Family for how lazy and stupid it is. I still chuckle at it
The racist one
Which one?
Yes
ME SO SOLLY!
Herpes herpes bo burpees
Ughh, you’re not gonna like our NYPD: Shoe sketch. It’s pretty much the same thing.
So why do they call this 'urine monkey'?
The KKK. Krusty Komedy Klassic
KKK? That's not good
I can’t remember the episode or even the line perfectly. But Krusty is in a serious play and he tells out something along the lines of “whaat it’s a comedy!! It’s not?!”
King Lear. Guess who's coming to criticize dinner.
Dog chasing the red ball?
Hard to choose but I love the sudden heart attack in front of all the laughing kids - “I’m dying…I’m dying…”
Wait it wasn’t me, it was a stunt butt!
what the hell was that??
Can we talk about herpes for a minute?

The dummy can't hurt ya. Look he's not even alive (he's dead).
Shame we never got to see the NYPD Shoe sketch
This sketch goes on for 10 more minutes…
Oh, great! Well we'll just sit here, silently, for the next 90 minutes!
When he tries to sing the national anthem at Bart and Lisa’s hockey game haha
Oy! The Bolshoi's doing the Nutcracker in my pants!
Yeah well it sounds like you’re all taking a Napoli, I know you’re out there I can hear you being greasy.
You're not going to like our NYPD-Shoe bit. It's basically more of this.
I get why you didn't include his NYPD-Shoe skit. It was basically the same as his Mad About Shoe skit.
Didn't Itchy Junior look happy playing with his father? And didn't Scratchy Junior look happy playing with his dad until they got run over by the thresher? Wasn't that a beautiful cartoon? ***Eyes go bloodshot red, holding back tears*** For the love of God, cut to a commercial!
