Krusty the Clown

Long gone is the quality of the golden age of The Simpsons. While the episode touches on some interesting social commentary on the state of internet articles, buzzfeed click bait and the like, it never really seems to go anywhere. And in the style of the classic era of the show, the main storyline has little to do with the opening scenes, however, it does so less competently, and soon becomes a Krusty story. There have been many high quality Krusty centric episodes in the past, Krusty gets Kancelled being one of many, however, this one leaves you feeling empty and not very entertained. There is little to be quoted and discussed, including a not very memorable song, having you reminisce the days of the monorail song.

The car chase scene had some great animation, but the overall plot was pretty daft.

A very forgetful episode. It started off semi-hopeful, but as stated by another, it quickly nosedived.

'The Simpsons' writers are known to be a sensitive bunch, and they seem to use a lot of the Homer storyline here to bemoan critical reactions to episodes. There's even a joke here where the punch line is that Krusty's show hasn't been good since Season Four. I wonder where the inspiration for that one came from...

It's all good fun, but after a while it does feel like they are whacking you over the head with the point.

This is, as others have said, an episode that starts well and then fades quite quickly. It should have been better than it was, especially with the characters it had (Bart, Krusty, Homer) at the centre.
