Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn early idea for the series saw Krusty the Clown being revealed as Homer Simpson's secret stage identity. This storyline never developed, but this episode allowed writers to comment upon the design similarity of the two characters. Krusty's appearance and design is just that of Homer's, with clown make-up. David Silverman enhanced the lines under Krusty's eyes, and reshaped his beard line in order to make a clearer distinction between the two characters.
- GoofsHomer is driving the Krusty clown school loan car late at night. The view cuts to him talking about the job, then he get pulled over by Wiggum. when Wiggum gets out, Homer is driving the Simpsons family car (the pink/purple looking one).

Featured review
The same Homer Simpson ....
Krusty opens a college to train regional performers to appear in his character.
This is an excellent episode with great humour.
I find Homie The Clown to be a prolifically funny episode with multiple strong jokes involving characters like Homer, Krusty, and Fat Tony's crew.
It has a mixture of great banter and sight gags with too many to highlight. My favourite verbal joke is the dialogue between Homer and the mobsters when he gives them a number of different names to avoid being identified as Krusty. This is brilliantly written and performed by the voice artists. My favourite visual gag has to be the parachute.
All the movie tributes and references are superb, particularly the mash potatoes.
For me it's a 9.5/10 but I round upwards.
