The Passion of the Krust Krusty's stand up material is getting rather rusty and offensive so he gets extremely drunk and passes out in the Flanders' front yard. Bart nurses him back to health and tries to get the family to sit through a show of new observational humour with help from Jay Leno. However they still find his material lacking so he vows to quit show business but the journalists find his rant at modern comics funny so he announces his return to comedy.

Plot

Marge is driving by a mall when she stops at it. "Ooooh! This'll be a perfect place to get you kids some new church shoes!" said Marge.

"Mom, my church shoes are fine..." said Bart. They had just left church that weekend so they were wearing their nice clothes. Bart pointed out his church shoes which were not fine as they had a hole in the sole. I think Robbie Williams sung a song about that.

However against Bart's insistence that his shoes were fine Marge took them to shoe shop.

"Why do we need shoes for church anyway? Jesus wore sandals..." Bart sighed.

"If Jesus had better arch support the Romans wouldn't have caught him!" said Homer.

"Dad that's not what happened." Lisa sighed. "He gave himself up for God's love so that he could forgive us."

"I don't want shoes! Hugo no like them!" Hugo whined.

"Hugo please behave..." Marge sighed. "Homer, look! There's that parrot that sounds like Gilbert Gottfried you like to argue with.

Homer joyfully ran up to Iago who was on a perch.

"Oh look who let the genie out of the lamp!" Iago ranted.

"Hugo don't blame us if you cut your feet open on broken glass and get tetanus..." Bart sighed.

They went into a shoe shop ran by Ol' Gil.

Marge explained to Gil she was looking for kids smart shoes. "Ones good enough for church, Doctor appointments, dental appointments, building dedications, visits to elderly relatives, haircuts, piano recitals, school choirs and the inevitable court cases..." Marge sighed that last one. They had been court so many times it seemed mundane.

"Right this way Ma'am! Ol Gil has the finest selection of smart shoes perfect for social gatherings, schools in England and other occasions!" said Gil.

"Piano recitals?!" Oscar asked.

"I'm not letting Lois Griffin rub it in as the only cartoon mother who teaches Piano classes!" Marge ranted.

Oscar rolled his eyes.

However the kids tried to be difficult for poor Gil.

Hugo wouldn't keep his shoes on and threw them at Gil before throwing a tantrum and breaking everything.

"He really hates shoes..." Marge sighed.

Bart made Gil take his shoes on and off for him.

"If you didn't want to take shoes off you shouldn't have became a shoe salesman." said Bart.

"Ah but I need the money after I lost my job at the car lot!" said Gil.

Lisa then tried claiming she hadn't worn socks that day so couldn't try on shoes. (Yeah this is an odd episode where she's being rebellious...)

However Gil had some store socks for her to wear. They were smelly and mouldy looking.

"Eeeeew!" Lisa groaned.

"Marge why do I need church shoes? I don't even go!" Oscar complained.

"Hmmmm! These are for dinner parties. I don't want you just wearing your usual clothes when I have guests round. Or sitting in your underwear all day playing skalletrix... Besides your sweater is starting to smell." said Marge as she put some shoes on him.

Oscar smelt his sweater and gagged. "Fine but I want really shiny ones like Teddy's nose!" said Oscar who had taken his pet teddy bear creature out with him and squeezed Teddy's nose to make a point about his shoes.

Bart groaned embarrassed by Oscar bringing his living teddy bear creature.

...

"Mom, these shoes are two sizes too big." Bart sighed as they went to collect Homer. Who was now Genie for some reason.

"Oh you're due a grownth spurt any day now." said Marge.

Oscar wanted shiny black shoes that were really shiny like his teddy bear creature's nose.

"Well, we have a brown shoe." Gil had a brown shoe.

"Did you hear that, kids? Brown." said Marge enthusiastic.

"Yaaaaaaay! I don't know why but I'm happy about that!" Oscar cheered being easily pleased.

"Aaaaaaagh! No not Brown! That's a terrible university!" Lisa cried.

"So I says to Al, is there something up with my voice..." said Homer as Genie.

Iago was getting bored.

"Good morning Ramadan!" Homer as Genie yelled while morphing into an Arabic radio host with a thick beard.

Bart groaned and applied his hand to his forehead exasperated.

A man then asked Marge if she liked a laugh.

"Of course! As long as it's tasteful, and no one get hurt." said Marge.

The man sighed and asked Homer as Genie the same question.

"Of course! I love a good comedy!" said Homer turning himself back to normal.

"Then you'll love this comedy festival. It's for a good cause!" The man gives Homer a leaflet.

"What? A retirement home for pirates?" Homer asked.

"Arrrrr!" Oscar went Arrrrrr! While wearing an eyepatch and a pirate hat.

"Oscar no!" Bart whined at Oscar encouraging Homer.

"No Dad, it's for charity. It's to give clean water to Africa." said Lisa.

The man was then asking Dr Hibbert if he liked to laugh.

"Yes but only if it tickles just right... Ahehehehe!" said Dr Hibbert before chuckling some more.

"Awww, I wanted a retirement home for pirates..." Oscar sighed.

"Oscar that's never gonna happen..." Bart sighed.

"Not with that attitude..." said Oscar.

Bart then read the leaflet. It had a list of comedians performing that night at the show. He was disappointed someone wasn't invited. Krusty.

"Hey, how comes Krusty isn't at this comedy show?!" Bart asked the leaflet man.

"Who?" The man asked.

"Ugh! Krusty the clown! The prince of pies? The sultan of Seltzer? Ay carumba...!" Bart tried to explain before giving up.

The man went off to bother other people.

"Maybe you should ask the comedian running this show, Jay Leno!" said Lisa.

"That's a great idea Lis!" said Bart.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Professor Know-it-all." said a fat kid that sounds like Bertram from Family Guy or Sperg from Grim Adventures. He is Hugo's enemy at school because he is an even more evil um evil genius.

Hugo glared at him.

...

Bart somehow got into Jay Leon's studio.

"I blackmailed him with this picture of the Crimson Chin." said Oscar.

Bart face palmed.

Bart then asked Jay Leno why Krusty wasn't on the comedy panel.

"Krusty eh? That takes me back... Didn't he die in an oil fire?" Jay Leno asked.

"No, he's alive and well! You should see his material! You'll laugh so hard you'll plotz!" said Bart giggling.

"Okay, if he's half alive as you say he is." said Jay Leno.

They went to see Krusty.

"Charity work?! No way! I want my cut! I had to send Mr Teeny back to Africa!"

Mr Teeny was in a jungle surrounded by evil monkeys. He lit a cigar but they smacked it out of his hand.

"He seems reluctant." said Jay Leno.

"Tell him it counts as part of his community service." said Bart.

"Okay fine! Gee, you steal one pair of Hagger's slacks and it haunts you for the rest of your life!" Krusty groaned.

Mike Haggar from the video game Final Fight suddenly appeared.

"Oz! No!" Bart groaned.

"Hagar the horrible!" Oscar yelled.

"No!" Bart whined.

"Hagger!" Grawp from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yelled.

"That's it! You're banned from Wikipedia!" Jimbo Wales yelled at Grawp.

Bart face palmed.

Krusty smoked a cigar. "Okay okay. I'm not gonna let some big chinned shlub, no offence Jay, take all the laughs! Okay kids. I'll be at the comedy night."

Bart and Lisa High fived. Or high foured.

"Yaaaay! I love clowns!" Oscar cheered in a babyish manner.

Bart sighed.

At home. The news was on.

"Talking pineapple declared threat to national security." said Kent reading the headlines.

Oscar laughed.

Bart groaned.

"Child baffled by theft of own nose." said Kent reading the next headline.

"Got your nose Maggie!" Homer was playing with Maggie pretending he took her nose.

"Oh for Pete's sake Homer! give her back her nose..." said Marge sighing.

"And yet another squirrel resembling Abraham Lincoln spotted." said Kent.

"Coooool!" Oscar cooed.

The Simpsons sighed.

...

The Simpsons got dressed nicely and went out to the comedy show that night. A comedian told a joke about a zebra.

"I don't get it." said Homer.

"It's a play on words Dad. Zebra is the last word in the dictionary." said Lisa. Homer still doesn't get it. "Never mind..." Lisa sighed.

"And now, we have a last minute guest comedian, Krusty the clown!" said the announcer. Krusty came on with his typical clown laugh. "Hooahahahaha! Hey hey kids! It's Krusty the clown!"

However everyone muttered. "A kid show clown? Seriously!" Was one of the murmurs.

"Woo! Go Krusty!" Bart cheered.

Krusty told some very boring jokes about TV dinners.

"I tried one of those TV Dinners last night. There was a lightning strike and the peach cobbler went out!" No one laughed.

"Hahaha! Cobbler!" Bart giggled.

"And instead of left overs, you have reruns!" said Krusty.

No one laughed.

"Ooooh gee TV dinner jokes, that's really gonna threaten the Swansons..." Jay sighed. That was normally their worst act but somehow Krusty's was even worse.

Joe Swanson from Family Guy frowned at him.

"Like that one huh? Okay get ready for this!" said Krusty. He put something in his mouth. Then he revealed he was wearing giant buck teeth and squinting. "Ah so ah so! Me so solly!" He was doing a very bad chinaman impression.

The entire audience were offended.

Bart laughed hysterically.

Lisa glared at Bart. She was offended by Krusty's material.

"Coool he has teeth just like yours Teddy!" Oscar said to his living teddy bear.

Teddy the buck toothed teddy bear sighed and put a lampshade from the table lamps on his head and pulled his eyes into a squint with his fingers and started going "ah so! Ah so! I am Chinese if you please!"

Oscar giggled.

People started booing Krusty.

"Oh great! What next, the flapping dickie?" Jay sighed.

"Uh oh, I'm losing them. Time for the A material." said Krusty. "Hey! hey!" He started playing with his suit's dickie/ false shirt front with a hidden string. People weren't phased. "Ah so ah so! Me rike-ah the flied lice! Me frappa dickie long time!" Krusty continued to make racist Chinese impressions.

"Aggghh! Mamma mia! That was so offensive that I ah got a stomach ulcer!" Mario from Nintendo groaned clutching his stomach.

Bart and Oscar were laughing hysterically and Teddy was still copying him.

The audience booed loudly.

Krusty gave up and went off as people started throwing tomatoes at him.

...

"Sorry about that folks." said the announcer. "Now our next act is a little blue so can all kids who got dragged here by their parents please head to the fun palace i.e. The ball pit maze."

"Oh my, you heard the funny man kids. This act isn't for children! Go on, run a long." said Marge. Bart, Hugo, Lisa and Oscar went to the ball pit room. Lisa was carrying Maggie.

In the ball pit room Bart found Krusty very miserable about his act.

"Ha! That was funny Krusty!" Bart explained to him.

"Are you nuts? I sucked!" Krusty groaned.

"No...! The acoustics were just bad!" Bart explained.

"Sorry kid, thanks for the pep talk, but nobody found me funny except you and your friend with the pet beaver." said Krusty.

"I'm a teddy bear!" yelled Teddy.

Meanwhile in the dinner hall. A lady comic with a piercing was up.

"I got my period today." said the comedian.

Marge spat out her drink. "Good lord!" Even she found the comedian's material to be too raunchy.

"Plus I got this new boyfriend." said the comedian. "You know how it is french kissing a guy with a tongue stud."

Everyone laughed and cheered.

After the show Krusty was finishing up only to hear Jay and the other comedians bad mouth him.

"Racist jokes?! What was he thinking?!" said Jay.

Krusty groaned and went home.

Plot 2

The next day Krusty was at Krustylu studios when Mr Teeny, after somehow getting the flight back to Springfield gave Krusty the morning newspaper.

"Ah let's see, Last night's comedy show yada yada yada was a spectacular success. Phew! Except for the dated material of Springfield's own green haired red nosed clown?! Awwwww!" Krusty cried.

"Well they say any news is good news Krusty." said Sideshow Mel.

"You sir are an idiot!" said Krusty.

"You can be so cruel sometimes!" Sideshow Mel cried.

"Ugh! There's only one thing I can do to forget about this. Go on the bender of all benders..." said Krusty.

"Hey, Bite my shiny metal ass!" yelled Bender as he sat on the toilet.

Krusty cringed exasperated.

At the Simpsons house.

"That's not fair! The comedian Steven Alexander Wright has a pony and I don't?!" Lisa yelled.

Bart face palmed. "Lis, that's the name of one of his stand up shows... he doesn't literally have a pony..."

"Lisa please keep it down! I'm trying to teach Oscar to play the piano!" said Marge.

Oscar was tapping the keys randomly and making an out of tune chorus of jumbled notes.

"Mom are you just trying to compete with the mom off of Family Guy..." Bart sighed.

"Maybe..." said Marge.

Oscar continued to play badly.

Elsewhere because this episode has a biblical name ie either The Last Temptation of Krusty or The Passion of the Krust, there must be an obligatory reference to Jesus.

"Wowsers! Look at that guy's halo!" McGee from McGee and Me was easily impressed by Jesus's halo.

...

Krusty went into town that evening and drank at various pubs and bars. He even drank from rather strange vessels such as a lady's shoe and from an entire barrel of beer. Then he got very sick...

The next day Bart was mowing the lawn while singing Deep, Deep Trouble when he suddenly heard Krusty groaning.

Next door at the Flanders house Krusty was lying on the front lawn unconscious while Rod and Todd found him wondering what to do.

"An evil clown! What shall we do?" asked Todd.

"That's right boys. Clowns are the ultimate eviiiiiill!" said Billy from Grim adventures. "We better find some tangelos to protect ourselves with!"

"He smells like Grandma! Let's poke him!" said Rod poking Krusty with a stick.

Bart came to Krusty's rescue. "Get away from him you stupid little freaks!" Bart yelled. Rod and Todd ran away screaming.

"Bart! What have I told you about calling people that?!" Marge yelled.

Bart groaned.

Bart dragged Krusty indoors somehow.

"Ow!"

"Sorry!"

"Ow!"

"Sorry!" Bart accidentally clonked Krusty's head on the stairs as he dragged him upstairs and apologised each time.

Bart's twin brother Hugo heard this from his room. Hugo rolled his eyes and thought nothing of it as he read a Jules Verne novel.

Then Oscar was being mugged by the film critic Gene Shalit.

"Don't "Panic Room". I'm not gonna "William Hurt" you." And so on and so forth.

Oscar with his hands up in surrender winced exasperated.

...

Eventually Krusty found himself lying on Bart's bed.

"Ugh! It hurts to talk..." Krusty groaned. "We'll have to figure out a system of blinks..."

Bart was winking and squinting his eyes in a funny manner.

"Not you you imbecile!" Krusty said in his face so Bart caught his alcohol breath.

"Peeeeeyeeeew! What were you drinking last night? Gasoline?!" Bart groaned.

"Yes I was drinking gasoline! Mother..." Krusty replied sarcastically. "Actually my mother's dead..." Krusty sighed.

Krusty then got up and thought Bart's Krusty poster was a mirror.

"Uh Krusty..." Bart tried to explain.

"Pipe down kid, I think I've got a tack in my forehead." Krusty is trying to pick out a tack/pin.

"Krusty that's a poster. I have all of your merchandise." said Bart.

"Ugh! Look at all this crap with my face on it. Krusty's personal swabs?!" Krusty picked up some eye swabs. "Ah... instead of working on my act I was selling out..." Krusty started crying.

Bart dabbed his eye with an eye swab.

"Aggghh! It burns! What the hell is on those things?!" The swab burnt Krusty.

"Quick! Use my Krusty eye wash!" said Bart.

"No! Not on your life!" yelled Krusty as he knocked the bottle of Krusty's eye wash out of Bart's hands. It splashed on Bart's carpet and then burnt a gaping hole in the floor while fizzing like cartoon acid.

"Yikes!" Bart gulped.

...

Homer then walked past.

"Bart lunch is ready and- What the?! Why is that clown in here? Ooooh a life size Krusty doll eh?" Homer asked before thinking Krusty was a life sized doll.

"I'm not a doll you land whale! I'm Krusty, the real deal!" Krusty replied.

"Bart what have your mother and I told you about bringing home drunk celebrities?!" Homer told Bart off.

"Dad he needs some rest while he sobers up and then Jay Leno is coming over!" Bart replied.

"Fine but your mother's not gonna be happy..." Homer sighed.

Some time later Jay Leno came round and Bart let him in. "Thanks for coming Jay, Krusty really needs help."

"Tell me about it." said Jay.

...

Sometime later Krusty was in the bath of the shared bathroom and Bart and Jay Leno were washing his hair.

"Oh no question, I have got to freshen up my act!" said Krusty smoking a cigar in the tub. "Jay you're a professional comedian, you'll help me right?" Jay didn't answer immediately. "Answer me!"

"Yes! Now stop squirming! I'm trying to get these tangles out!"

"I know, they're just impossible!" said Bart talking like a camp hairdresser. Krusty and Jay looked at him like he had two heads. "Well they are!"

Homer walked past.

"Bart! Why are you, Jay Leno and a monkey washing a clown?!" said Homer.

"Well they are!" said Krusty. "So make with the loofah or get out!"

Homer left.

"Anyway, don't you have any advice for Krusty?" Bart asked.

"Well people these days like observational humour. Things that they deal with every day." said Jay Leno.

"Oh yeah. You mean like when your lazy butler washes your sock garters and they're still covered in schmutz?" said Krusty.

"Sort of, but more universal." said Jay. "And lose that Me so solly thing!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't tamper with a classic!" said Bart.

"Shut up kid!" Krusty snarled at him. "Come on Jay, teach, impart!"

...

Marge and Lisa were watching a Spanish soap opera. "What did he say?" Marge asked.

"He said our love is undying like the Spanish sun." said Lisa bored.

"Oooooh! Diego's not gonna like this..." said Marge. Homer arrived.

"Hey Marge did you know Bart just brought a drunk clown up to his room and is now bathing him?" said Homer. "And- Eeeeew! Spanish soap operas!"

"Hmmmmmm! Bart..." Marge sighed. "Were they the green haired one he likes off the TV? You know Crunchy?" said Marge.

"Krusty." Lisa corrected her.

"Whatever..." Marge sighed.

"Probably." said Homer.

"That's fine then I suppose." said Marge.

Later Krusty got dressed and went downstairs to see the Simpsons. He was planning a comedy sketch and they were his test audience. Homer was watching the news with Kent Brockman.

"And Krusty never returned home last night. So we're presuming he is either dead or passed out in a gutter somewhere." said Kent. "In other news local idiot throws clock out of window, we'll tell you more after these commercials!"

"I keep telling you, I wanted to see if time flies!" Homer yelled at the TV.

"Dad turn that off and get to the front lounge you're missing Krusty's stand up comedy show!" said Bart.

Homer turned off the TV and went to the lounge.

Bart was up with a towel wrapped round his head.

"And now for a few impressions of Mom! Hmmmm! I don't think you should wear that out. Homer do that in the bathroom. Are you kids ignoring me?! Hmmmmmm!" Bart was doing impressions of Marge.

Marge grumbled annoyed at him slightly.

"And now for the new comedy stylings of Krusty the clown!" said Bart. Krusty arrived to clapping and silently thanked everyone while drinking a glass of water.

"Now, we all have two phonebooks, one's yellow and one's white. What's the deal with that?!" Krusty asked.

"One is for residential numbers the other is business." said Lisa.

"Okay..." said Krusty. "What's next? Blue papers?"

"Yes we have those. They're government listings!" said Lisa.

"Okay... moving on... What about two cent stamps? Pizza pie is popular again... can't open pickle jars... Oh! What's the deal with cardboard?" Krusty murmured.

Homer booed and jeered loudly.

"Okay on to notebook two..." said Krusty.

"I have to go and make dinner..." said Marge.

"Me too." Homer left.

"I have to go study." said Lisa.

Krusty sighed.

"Krusty the acoustics were-" Bart explained.

"Kid you were peddling that last night!" Krusty sighed. "There's only one thing I can do now.

...

Krusty was being interviewed by journalists. He read a war poem.

"Krusty what does this have to do with anything?" A journalist asked.

"I'm announcing my retirement from comedy! I was trying to leave with a touch of class, you jack ass!" Krusty said annoyed.

"Why now? Why not 20 years ago?" said a lady journalist.

"Because Comedy ain't funny no more! Instead of time tested jokes about women drivers and racial minorities we have some big chinned shlub reading typos from the Palookaville post!" Krusty ranted. "Well guess what? Nobody cares!"

Everyone giggled.

"Hey! I washed your hair for you!" Jay Leno whined as he was doing his dishes at home.

"And comics these days! Oh I can't set my VCR! I can't open a bag of airplane peanuts! I'm a freakin' moron!" Krusty ranted.

Everyone laughed louder.

"Ha! Krusty's gone nuts!" Homer said while chuckling.

"And then there's these lady comics talking about things that would embarrass Red Foxx! God rest his smutty soul!" said Krusty.

"Dracula ain't touching that with a barge pole!" said Grim Adventures Dracula.

"Who slept with who? When they went to toilet? This is supposed to get you a husband?!" Krusty yelled.

Everyone laughed hysterically.

"What the hell are you laughing at? I'm just telling the truth!" said Krusty.

"Yeah and it's funny!" said a journalist.

"In that case I triumphantly announce my return to comedy!" said Krusty putting the microphones back after he took them mid rant.

Everyone cheered.

Plot 3

Another comedy gala was set up one night. Moe tested the microphone before Krusty's performance.

"Oh my! Four drink minimum?!" Marge gasped at Moe's rules.

"I'll cover for you babe..." said Homer.

Krusty then came on stage in a new look with his green hair in a ponytail.

"All I keep seeing is dead celebrities hawking products! We've got Vincent Price on a toilet cake telling us the horrors of an unwashed bowl!" said Krusty doing a spooky voice.

People laughed.

"Those corporation parasites will do anything to make a quick buck! And I doubt Winston Churchill would eat a Wiener schnitzel!" ranted Krusty.

Everyone cheered.

"Impeach Churchill!" Homer yelled.

"Homer!" Oscar whined. "Winston Churchill was a respected prime minister and a war hero! And besides we Brits can't impeach our prime ministers!"

"Well this is one dollar they won't be getting!" Krusty set fire to a dollar note.

"Um isn't that illegal?" Chief Wiggum asked.

"I don't care if it is illegal. I'm making a stand!" said Krusty. "I saw some cartoon dogs do this on an episode of Itchy and Scratchy where Itchy turned Scratchy into money."

"Woo! Cartoons!" Bart cheered.

Everyone took out a dollar note and burnt it.

"Oh Seymour! You're burning it all wrong!" said Agnes.

"Mother it's my allowance and I'll burn it how I like!" Seymour replied trying to set light to a dollar note.

"Marge gimme your purse!" Homer asked.

"Here's fourty two dollars, it's all I have in my purse. Run home and bury it in the backyard!" Marge whispered to Lisa giving her some money.

"I love you Mom!" said Lisa before hurrying off home.

Some corporate stooges were listening in on the comedy gala.

"They're eating right out of his hand! We need this guy!" said a corporate stooge to another.

"Let's get him after the show. If we're still sober..." said his coworker as they drank.

...

After the show the corporate stooges bothered Krusty.

"No can do. Krusty isn't for sale!" said Krusty.

The corporate stooges tried offering him a canyonero. A type of four by four.

Krusty's hair sprung up. He sweated but put his hair back down into a ponytail and insisted he wouldn't sell out to them.

They offered him another bribe. Krusty's hair sprung up again.

"Stop that!" Krusty whined.

They then visited his office the following morning.

Elsewhere Jesus was in a desert while the devil ie Satan tried to tempt him into misusing his powers.

"Come on! Summon food for yourself..." Satan whined.

"No." said Jesus trusting his father had some reason to make him go without food or water in a desert for forty days and nights.

"I'll be your friend..." Satan whined.

"No." said Jesus.

"You're mean..." Satan whined.

The following evening was another comedy gala featuring Krusty.

"I hope he tells us to burn our pants." said Homer.

Krusty started going on about the corporate stooges bothering him last night but suddenly started advertising the canyonero.

"Don't you hate pants?" Homer heckled.

Krusty was continuing to advertise the canyonero.

Everyone booed and jeered and chased him off.

After the show Bart went to see him.

"Krusty... I can't believe you sold out..." Bart sighed.

"Well that's me kid, I'm just a klutz for corporate leeches. Well it was fun while it lasted... Say how about I give you a ride home?" said Krusty.

"Um, I'll have to ask my folks..." said Bart.

Obviously they said yes as Bart and Krusty were riding home in the canyonero with cowboy music playing as the episode drew to a close.

After the end credits.

"Where's Bart?" Homer asked.

"I told you! He came over asking if Krusty could take him home. I said yes because despite him being rather sleazy he's got a good heart and wouldn't harm Bart. He's in good hands." said Marge.

Meanwhile in Krusty's Canyonero.

"Hmmm, Alkali Flats sure looks beautiful this time of night uh Krusty?" Bart asked.

Krusty pulled off his face to reveal he was Sideshow Bob! Dun dun dun!

"Nyaaaaagh! Sideshow Bob!" Bart screamed as the sideshow Bob's theme played.

"Yes Bart. Now I hope you've learned a valuable lesson not to ask for rides home from strangers. Even if they're a beloved celebrity..." said Sideshow Bob.

"Krusty would never hurt me!" Bart retorted. "Besides how on earth did you manage to hoodwink me into thinking you were Krusty?" Bart asked.

"I still have my Krusty costume from when I robbed the Kwik e mart and tried to frame Krusty." said Sideshow Bob. "It was a simple ruse and you fell for it, young Simpson."

"Yeah don't rub it in, Bob..." Bart sighed.

The end?
