"When I started this clown thing, I thought it would be nothing but glory—you know, the glory of being a clown? I tell ya, it's hard, tiring work. But when I see the smiles on their little faces, I just know they're getting ready to jab me with something." - Homer Simpson

Following the instructions of roadside billboards, Homer enters Krusty's clown college, and soon finds himself working a buffoonery-based part-time job where he's kicked by kids, bit by dogs, and admired by the elderly. But he discovers that the few perks of being confused for Krusty the Clown don't outweigh the major downside: Mafia reprisal.

Our guest: Chris Cabin from We Hate Movies

Regarding the difficulty of getting to be on the Bozo the Clown show, In the very early 90s, my next door neighbor, who was one year older than me did get to be contestant on our local Bozo show for his fifth birthday. I remember being really jealous and my grandma explaining that his mother had put his name in for tickets right after he was born. Like how some parents apply for prestigious preschools the moment their kid is born, I guess people in my neighborhood (aside from my parents apparently) put in Bozo applications. At the time I was really sad because I was already four and and knew it was too late for me. I did later learn that very Bozo was the same man who emceed my dance recitals every year which was kind of a flex, but not as much of a flex as getting to toss a ping pong ball into a bucket in front of a live studio audience would have been.

Keep forgetting And Maggie Makes Three in the streak of great episodes...

I can concur with Kat that it was insanely difficult to get tickets to The Bozo Show. I had family that lived in Chicago only a few blocks from the WGN studio on the north side of Chicago. From the way my aunt told me the story years later, she sent away for the tickets when her oldest child was two years old and in the time it took to get the tickets about five years passed and they ended up being a gift for my cousin's seventh birthday.

My brother and I watched Billy Madison so many times when we were young; I’m pretty sure it’s our second language. I also had Daisy-Head Maizie on VHS and watched it quite a lot.

Homer must have had a lot of time before work to buy all those products or, more likely, he was very late clocking in.

I'll be in the hilariously named Seattle this weekend for PAX but for my money the funniest city name is in Canada and it's Regina, which is pronounced like it rhymes with vagina for some reason.

Stupid Sexy Spencer Flanders

Wasn't it David Copperfield and not Blaine in the Epstein files? Or did he have two generations of magician creeps?

Henry mentions the Don is made to resemble actors Don Ameche and William Hickey. I knew that Hickey had played a mob boss in Prizzi’s Honor, though I’ve never seen it. But when was Ameche in the Mafia? Apparently there’s a David Mamet movie called Things Change in which Don Ameche plays a shoe repairman mistaken for a Mafia boss. Joe Mantegna is his co-lead and plays his handler. I don’t know anything about Ameche’s performance in Things Change but apparently he has a big mustache. I’m sold!

not sure if this is old hat or if you guys have mentioned it before, but i just the other day stumbled upon what was (likely) John Swartzwelder’s reddit account u/FunniestWriterEver. He actually responds to someone in a thread and says he had a company that makes diner booths install a new one in his home, which he seems to confirm (and mention adding a second) in his New Yorker interview. Here is a link to the reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/rbq6zt/til_john_swartzwelders_reclusive_life_and/hnpkbc5/ Unfortunately, his account got suspended (promoting possibly) but you can view his posts on a third party site. If you think the guy who wrote this episode is funny, wait until you read some of the books over at JohnSwartzwelder.com

i’m sure you just forgot Henry, but in The Mask there is a scene showing Jim Carrey watching Tex Avery cartoons on VHS to establish where he gets his sense of humor from

Rhomega

Krusty listing Keokuk and Cucamonga reminds of Bobby Hill bringing up that K is an inherently funny sound in Meet the Propaniacs.

Sorry to remind everyone about the inevitable march of time, but the grimace shake trend was not last year. That was 3 years ago lol

Krystal

Funny but not surprising to forget Eddie Murphy in the run of SNL cast members successfully making the jump to movies that then became huge.

Adam Voyde

I always assumed Don Vittorio was a parody of Eli Wallach's Don Altobello in Godfather 3.

Thad Komorowski

The McDonaldland shake tasted like actual cough medicine. Worst shake ever.

Sabrina

My brother won a Nintendo from our local (Philadelphia) Bozo in the late 80s. He wasn’t actually on the show, it was some sort of mail-in giveaway. We did get to visit the studio when we went to pick it up, though.

Marcus

Especially funny since his movies have made way more money than the “big three” they mentioned in the episode

Glad we’ve circled back around to this episode so I can let everyone know that I audibly say ‘seATle’ to myself in the car every time Henry has brought it up since his move. Krusty’s right, it IS a funny placename!
