>What kind of a screwed-up kid are you?>I'm not screwed up. I get good grades. I play the French horn.>Good, good. You know, it's funny when someone's playing it and their pants fall down.>I haven't had that happen.>Well, don't feel bad. It's actually a pretty complicated rig.
>>156261884Is not liking Krusty a hot take? Even in the golden age he's not that funny
>>156261945>he's not that funnyIsn't that kind of the joke for his character?
>>156261945He's a weird character in general. His entire character was based on live comedy children's shows from the 1950s, where a guy in a clown suit would just do stupid, funny stuff for half an hour. This kind of entertainment wasn't even remembered by the time The Simpsons aired
>>156261884Since when did Krusty have a kid?
>>156261967Right but he is also supposed to be actually funny a lot of the time. Wouldn't call him completely unfunny just not great >>156262002Kind of like how Jerry Seinfeld's standup style was out of style before Seinfeld really took off
>>156262040since Season 12?
>>156262002and then in came back in modern day, rebranded as "streaming" and "youtubing"
>>156262002Funny enough the most well known example around that time was another parody named Homey the Clown.
>>156262002Kids show hosts, clown or not, were still a thing in the 80s and up until the early 90s, even Rugrats referenced them. I can tell you from my own experience, I was 9 or 10 when the show first started airing and even though I didn't watch Bozo or any other clown kids show, I knew what Krusty was referencing.
>>156261884why they bring Sophia back but not one-off characters the fans actually like?
>>156262040It was an one-off character (voiced by drew barrymore if i recalll correctly). I dont think she even had unvoiced cameos ever since.She is a Principal & Pauper character, like Apu kids. Something added as a cheap way to add more scenarios to tell jokes about, at the expense of the status quo they grew to hate.
>>156262550>It was an one-off character (voiced by drew barrymore if i recalll correctly)They did bring her back lol. But not voiced by Barrymore again.
>>156262497Because the current Simpsons writers hate you.
Why is The Simpsons so spookily dark, yo?
>>156262040Does comic book guy have a kid?
>>156262002bozo was still airing in chicago long after krusty came out,
>>156261945I thought the joke was that he was a huge sellout that put his face on anything for a dollar.
I remember tuning in to the halfway point of the Boxo show all the time, because that was when they'd line up a bunch of buckets and have kids toss ping pong balls into them for prizes. They always had a bunch of fun looking prizes, but the final bucket always had a BRAND! NEW! CRISP! ONEHUNDREDDOLLARBIIIIILL! The rest of the show was ok, but I usually changed the channel after that.
>>156265616>BoxoBozo.Man, how'd I fuck THAT up?
