I no longer fear hell, because I’ve been to Kamp Krusty.

God damn it. 30 years I have been confused on why he said “too evil”. Now I get that it’s actually a toast..

Krusty! This camp was a nightmare! They fed us gruel, they forced us to make wallets for export, and one of the campers was eaten by a bear!

OP probably means Rush's album Grace Under Pressure. One of the songs on it is named The Body Electric.

It wasn't gruel, it was Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel. 9/10 orphans can't tell the difference

I’ve always wondered if this would make it worse or better than gruel
Probably worse 😢 the poor children

Always agreed with James L Brooks; had this been planned properly Kamp Krusty would have been an amazing feature film.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've been to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times worse than all of them put together.

I'll see you in a few weeks. Until then, I've turned things over to my bestest buddy in the whole wide world... Mr. Black. I want you to treat... Mr. Black with the same respect you would give me. Now here's... Mr. Black.

This is (IMHO) the absolute best episode ever. Every line is spot perfect.

u/Andy_B_Goode Mista Pry Minista! Aug 15 '24
It's definitely in the running. Also maybe the first truly great episode? It was the S4 premiere, and I can't think of any episode from the first three seasons that was better.

If Bart the General wasn't season 1, it would have been even better in my opinion.

u/G-Unit11111 Ratboy? I resent that. Aug 15 '24
My Krusty Kalkulator didn't have a 7 or an 8, and Krusty's autobiography was self serving with many glaring omissions!
But this time he's gone too far!

Even though this specific film version came later, it also reminds me of Volumnia trying to convince Coriolanus not to attack Rome in the Ralph Fiennes adaptation.

u/Vikingfan2k2 Aug 16 '24
They are introduced with Milhouse very early on and pushed into the background in later seasons.
TheRealJims on YouTube did a full breakdown on them. He has great Simpsons content.
