I think it was more "the show was bad at this point but none of us had realized that yet and we were still trying to love the show and watching it religiously" so we collectively remember the occasional good (or at least passable) joke.

You sniped a thread where you could have been talking about many different shows. Seinfeld, Game of Thrones The Walking Dead.

Wasn't Krusty initially intended to be Homer in clown makeup?

Yes, I know they later had the Klown Kollege ep

It might have just been some retconning that Groening was doing in-between footrubs on Air Epstein, who knows

I think that was an idea that Groening played with at one point early on, like Marge having rabbit ears under her hair. It's pretty clear by the time they were actually producing episodes for season 1 that it was abandoned (Krusty Gets Busted wouldn't make any sense). I think it was probably from around when ideas were getting bounced around for the other characters around Springfield. Radioactive Man also looks a little like Homer, I think the idea with that and Krusty was more that all of Bart's heroes are kind of reflections of his dad, who he doesn't actually respect at all.

No, I am aware, but the crowd was chanting "gently caress Joe Biden" and the guy misunderstood it as "let's go Brandon". Wouldn't Moleman have been the one guy in the crowd that actually was saying "let's go Brandon"?

Or maybe now that everyone is saying let's go Brandon, actually saying gently caress Joe Biden is the outsider/not cool thing to do?

after editing wikipedia as a joke for 16 years, i ve convinced myself that homer simpson's japanese name translates to the "The beer goblin"
Gonna need a meme of Moleman being asked by Smokey the bear if he was saying gently caress Joe Biden or Let's go Brandon. You selected gently caress Joe Biden, referring to Let's go Brandon. This is incorrect, the correct answer is Let's go Brandon.

I think that goon is right about what Moleman should be saying to be accurate to what happened but it's way funnier to me that he's saying gently caress Joe Biden.

Krusty was already an anachronism from day one as a TV host clown in the 90s.

Though the 90s was quite the last gasp for TV hosts, I'm vaguely reminded of one local kids show morning host who played King Koopa as basically a pimp with a costumed dog.

I just looked it up because I remember watching Bozo the clown as a pre-teen which would have been late 80s/early 90s - in my local market, Chicago, the Bozo show went until 2001 :kstarehair:

e: and Bob Bell, the original Chicago area Bozo, was evidently the inspiration for Krusty’s voice. TIL.

I think that was Super Hornio Bros. and your parents may have some explaining to do.
