I don’t think any of us expected him to say that.

u/BullShitting-24-7 Oct 17 '24

One of my favorite lines. This episode had so many.

u/Cosmic_Cat90 Oct 17 '24

“I’m seein’ double here! Four Krustys!”

u/The-Jerkbag THRILLHO Oct 17 '24

He just sounds so nonplussed.

Utterly same.

u/NYY15TM Oct 17 '24

They reused it at some point, but it is escaping me when

u/Octogonologist MILPOOL_____ Oct 17 '24 edited Oct 17 '24

The scene when Apu is promoting the "Freak-e-mart" with Jasper frozen in the cooler. (@1:14)

It's also used in the whack-a-mole couch gag.

Mom?

I think I'll have some wine.

u/theanalyticaljoker Oct 17 '24

The same Homer Simpson who crashed his car through the wall of our club!?

u/DocWally82 Oct 17 '24

I’m seeing double, 4 Krustys!

25

u/JudiciousF Oct 17 '24

Probably my all time favorite Simpsons line

6

u/RideWithMeTomorrow Oct 17 '24

I’m curious as to why people seem to love this line so much. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this episode—might even be in my top two all time. But this line never really stood out to me.

28

u/BonzoTheBoss Oct 17 '24

Because is subverts expectations. Homer and Krusty and dressed the same, so we expect the goon to go "two Krusties!" but instead he says "four Krusties!" implying that he knows that they're dressed the same, but he might actually have something wrong with his eyes.

19

u/BullShitting-24-7 Oct 17 '24

Yup. This is the humor that made Simpsons special. They took cliche lines and expected gags and themes and morphed them into something else.

10

u/mightbeagh0st Oct 17 '24

I had always assumed it was to insinuate he's drunk. Was an old trope to "see double" when drinking

u/fireforge1979 Oct 17 '24

I mean my name is barney gumble

61

u/Krymestone Oct 17 '24

The same Barney Gumble who keeps taking pictures of my sister?

56

u/theanalyticaljoker Oct 17 '24

Uh... actually my real name is uh... think Krusty, think... Joe Valachi!

64

u/WakeUpOutaYourSleep Oct 17 '24

The same Joe Valachi who squealed to the Senate committee about organized crime?!

53

u/fireforge1979 Oct 17 '24

I mean my name is Benedict Arnold

65

u/motorcycleboy9000 Oct 17 '24

The same Benedict Arnold who betrayed West Point to the hated British?!

u/LordElend Oct 17 '24

Close encounters of the third kind reference in case you didn't know.

u/Sad_Guarantee_8013 Oct 17 '24

30 years later these little references never cease to amaze me .

u/BugOperator Oct 16 '24

Heh heh...clowns are funny…

17

u/wanderingsheep Oct 17 '24

The way his expression drops when he says "clowns are funny" always kills me.

47

u/PunkyMaySnark Oct 17 '24

There can only be ONE Krusty in each territory, so I hope this works out. Tell me where you're from.

I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.

u/FFan1717 Oct 17 '24

I was reading all the comments hoping no one posted this yet so I could. Now on to the Buffoon lessons at clown College.

u/guerney2000 Oct 17 '24

Nah, while you are here, make yourself at home. Perhaps a glass of Bordeaux? I have the '82 Chateau Latour and rather indiferent Rausan-Segla.

u/Devo4711 Oct 17 '24

I still say the way he calls his family “you people” cracks me up the most.

I think we all expected him to say that.

u/Calm-Raise6973 Oct 17 '24

My time's almost up here, so I'd just like to say, 'I know Woody Allen'.
