Krusto quotes from The Simpsons

My audience! No! It took me years to grow them! [yelps in pain as his body starts twisting and contorting onto itself] I can't start over! What would that even look like?! Dancing for followers on TikTok?! I haven't written a joke since 1647! And that material has not... aged... well! I blame cancel culture! [shrinks away into nothing]

I'm Krusto, the funniest clown in the whole wide world.

Barney

Uh, people who have to tell you they're funny usually aren't can I get my boat back, sewer clown?

Well, well. If it isn't the Losers. Say hello to my studio audience. [turns on the Laughter sign and rises soul of children] There’s no laughter like forced laughter!

Homer

We're not afraid of you anymore, clown. You have no power over us. He's an astronaut, she's a seltzer big wig, and I'm a world-famous, um, virgin. Oh, damn it. The point is, we’ve conquered our childhood fears!
