The delivery of "Cousin Merl" continues to be one of the best readings in the series

Kelsey Grammer kills it every time, but my fave has to be "the children can sleep soundly tonight on their hard. Feculent. Motel pillows...".

Grammer’s line readings are a truly meme in their own right, none more so than the grumble Bob makes after each rake impact.

The best bit about what might be one of the funniest jokes in the history of the Simpsons was it was literally thrown in at the last minute because the episode was running short - he was only supposed to step on one rake, but they quickly added in all the other hits to fill in the time, and as the recording was already finished they just copied and pasted the exact same noise, which is part of what makes it so funny.

I actually was surprised to find out that general audience or Reddit people do not like Krusty the Clown. IMHO he is one of the best and consistent characters of the entire show.

It's hard to keep a character true to the original and also relevant as culture and media change over time.

I knew the first three letters gave a good hint. I had to, for some reason, make sure.

Lol, but also this episode came after Cape Feare so I wonder if they're making that joke as well.

(also just watched Cape Feare for the first time in ages and gently caress me it's so good, and now I'm wondering if Kelsey Grammer or Al Brooks holds the record for "most bona fide classic episodes")

I would also like to express my fondness for that particular thread.

#2 is probably my favorite of them all. Something about "You may address me as Lord Raymond, or you may-" made me fuckin cackle the first time I saw it, and again just now.
