    ―Krusty's catchphrase

    ―Krusty's laugh / catchphrase

    ―Krusty to Bart in

    ―Krusty as a toy

    Krusty has Jewish parents and lived with his father in the Jewish community on Springfield's Lower East Side. As a rabbi, his father heavily criticized his son's career choice as a comedian. Keeping his entertainment lifestyle a secret, Krusty continued his role as a comedian until the day when his father came to one of his shows and a rowdy rabbi sprayed the makeup off his face in the Catskills. After this event, his father stopped talking to him, and they didn't make contact until many years later with Bart and Lisa Simpson. Although ethnically Jewish, he generally doesn't want to stress this heritage, to the extent that he prohibited any references to his Jewish background on his show up until his bar mitzvah.

    Krusty, without his makeup, bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Homer Simpson. However, there are also differences such as his cow-skull birthmark and small feet. Krusty had a near-fatal heart attack in 1986, requiring the installation of a pacemaker.

    Future

    In "Lisa's Wedding", he attends Lisa Simpson's wedding and Julius Hibbert tells him that Maggie Simpson has an incredible voice. In "Future-Drama", at age 60, he meets Marge Simpson after she and Homer separate. He beats up Homer after the latter challenges him to a fight. After the fight, Marge dumps Krusty and finally gets back together with Homer originally. In "Holidays of Future Passed", Krusty is seen on a grown-up category saying boring things about his life at age 82, which Bart Simpson finds out when attempting to entertain his loveable (and sometimes disrespectful) kids.

    Treehouse of Horror

    Krusty appears as the Headless Horseman in the opening of "Treehouse of Horror VI", throwing his head at the camera and making his trademark groan. In the "Treehouse of Horror XIX" segment "How to Get Ahead in Dead-vertising," Krusty is the first celebrity harmed by Homer (albeit unintentionally) for a group of amoral ad men's purpose of using his likeness in commercials without having to pay royalties. Enraged, Krusty leads an army of celebrities from Heaven to take revenge on Homer and other Springfieldians, killing Homer with a shotgun blast to the head. When returning to heaven, they were locked out by Homer as revenge. In the "Treehouse of Horror XX" segment "Don't Have a Cow, Mankind," Krusty was present at Krusty Burger for the unveiling of their new Burger², and explains the process of how it's made to Kent. Immediately after Kent becomes a "muncher", he bites Krusty in the arm, and while berating him for doing so, Krusty also transforms and confronts the cameraman. In "Treehouse of Horror XXIV", Krusty has Lisa Simpson's head on him after her head gets sawed off her own body.

    The Simpsons Road Rage

    Krusty is involved as one of the townspeople who is attempting to do a taxi service among members of the community in an attempt to buy back the public transit system from Mr. Burns after the latter converted it into a nuclear-powered bus system. He also announces the player's current rating system after the player completes the level or loses the level (although the voice who says the title itself was actually Harry Shearer, in a monotonous voice, dubbing over the obviously pre-recorded message.) He is also an unlockable character with his clown car. In one of the game's missions, he tries to get tourists away from his house by knocking over the signs leading to it.

    The character of Krusty was partially inspired by real-life clown "Rusty Nails" whom Simpsons creator Matt Groening watched as a child while growing up in Portland, Oregon. Some of his biographical details echo those of comedian Jackie Mason, who voices Krusty's father, including being the son of an orthodox rabbi, and being temporarily banned from television due to a controversial performance.

    Krusty's appearance and design is basically just that of Homer Simpson with clown make-up. Groening said that "The satirical concept that I was going for at the time was that The Simpsons was about a kid who had no respect for his father, but worshiped a clown who looked exactly like his father," a theme which became less important as the show developed. One concept initially saw Krusty being revealed as Homer's secret identity but the idea was dropped for being too complex and because the writers were too busy developing the series. The idea of Homer as Krusty, however, was revisited in Homie the Clown, where Homer takes a job as a Krusty double, only to get abducted by Fat Tony, who mistakes Homer for Krusty partly due to the resemblance.

    •Krusty the Clown was originally intended to be Homer Simpson to create a problem between Bart's love for Krusty, and his dad (who he doesn't look up to at all). This was later scrapped to keep Krusty as a frequent character to the series. This explains why Krusty and Homer bear a strong resemblance to each other.

    •Additionally both are also voiced by the same person, Dan Castellaneta.

    •Dan Castellaneta would again use Krusty's voice when he played villain Megavolt on the Disney cartoon series Darkwing Duck.

    •Krusty stated that he weighs almost 200 pounds in "Pranks and Greens," but he also has 30 pounds of makeup on, and carries heavy weapons.

    •In "Colonel Homer", when Krusty was throttling Sideshow Mel, he shouted, "I thought I told you to stay away from my sister!" Whether he was referring to Barbara Van Horne or someone else is never explained.

    •A man who looked extremely like Krusty without makeup appeared in "Dead Putting Society". Although this might be him, the man appeared to be thinner than him; however he have been wearing a girdle.
