“Like Father, Like Clown” · Season 3

In this episode: Krusty the Clown (2), Lisa Simpson (1)

[voice-over] My father was the most respected person in the Lower East Side of Springfield. People would come for miles around to ask his advice.

YJYoung Jewish Man

Rebbe Krustofski, should I finish college?

RKRabbi Krustofski

Yes. No one is poor, except he who lacks knowledge.

JWJewish Woman

Rabbi, should I have another child?

RKRabbi Krustofski

Yes. Another child would be a blessing on your house.

JMJewish Man

Rabbi, should I buy a Chrysler?

RKRabbi Krustofski

Could you rephrase that as an ethical question?

JMJewish Man

Um... is it right to buy a Chrysler?

RKRabbi Krustofski

Oh, yes! For great is the car with power steering and dyna-flow suspension.

[after showing a father-and-son themed episode of The Itchy and Scratchy Show, Krusty is clearly emotionally devastated but desperately trying to hold it back and appear happy while on camera]

Didn't Itchy Jr. look happy playing with his father? And didn't Scratchy Jr. look happy playing with his dad until they got run over by a thresher? Wasn't that a beautiful cartoon? [pause as Krusty looks absolutely broken, with quivering lips, blood-shot eyes, and a thousand-yard stare, before he breaks down sobbing] Ah, for the love of God, cut to a commercial!

[Lisa tries one last tack in convincing Rabbi Krustofski to reconcile with Krusty]

Here you go, Bart. It's a long shot, but that's all I can do without learning Ancient Hebrew. [Bart looks at Lisa in expectation] Bart! I am not going to learn Ancient Hebrew!
