When the announcements for the Nobel Prize winners is on early in the morning, about 4:00 AM, [[Homer]] comes down and asks why [[Lisa]] and some of her and [[Bart]]'s friends are still up. It turns out that [[Krusty]] has won the Nobel Peace Prize. At the announcement in front of [[Springfield Town Hall]], [[Mayor Quimby]] announces to the rest of the town that Krusty has won. As Krusty cracks jokes, Homer is the only one who laughs at them. Krusty then takes Homer to his limo. In the limo, Krusty tells Homer that he wants Homer to go with him to [[Oslo]], [[Norway]] to collect the prize as he always laughs at Krusty's jokes. Homer asks if he can take Bart with him, to which Krusty agrees.
As Homer, Lisa, and her friends watch the announcement of the year's Nobel Prize winners, they are astounded to hear that Krusty the Clown has won the Peace Prize. Krusty picks Homer to accompany him to [[Oslo]] for the awards ceremony, since Homer will laugh at anything Krusty says, and Homer decides to take Bart with him. Their plane lands not in Oslo, but in [[The Hague]], and it is revealed that the Peace Prize announcement was a ruse to bring Krusty here so he could be tried by the World Court for his deplorable public behavior over the years. Homer and Bart search desperately for any evidence to show that Krusty has made a genuine contribution to humanity, and eventually argue that his refusal to perform at a particular show led directly to the South African government's decision to release Nelson Mandela from prison. The court accepts this argument and frees Krusty, who immediately seeks out the nearest place to buy drugs - the courthouse cafeteria - and agrees to bring some back for the presiding judge.

Meanwhile, since Lisa is annoyed over not being able to go to the ceremony, Marge surprises her by sending her to a performing arts camp for a week. Here she eagerly immerses herself in music and theater, meeting several campers who love to break into song and two guitar-playing hipster counselors, [[Ethan]] and [[Kurt]]. When Marge takes her home at the end of the week, she has trouble readjusting to normal life and looks for a chance to express her newly awakened creative side. She runs away from home and seeks out Ethan and Kurt in "Sprooklyn," described by them as being the artistic hotbed of Springfield. However, she soon learns that they have grossly exaggerated; the area is a run-down slum and they actually work at a sandwich shop. They encourage her to return to her family and think about trying to make an artistic name for herself when she is older. As Marge arrives to take Lisa home, they show off a mural that they have painted in her honor, which takes up one entire side of a building.

"Elementary School Musical" is the first episode and season premiere of Season 22. It aired September 26, 2010. It guest stars Bret McKenzie, Jemaine Clement, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, and Stephen Hawking.

Synopsis

Marge sends Lisa to a performing arts camp where artsy counsellors (guest voices Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords) and fellow musically inclined campers (guest voices Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley of Glee) inspire her to embrace her creative side. After she returns to Springfield, Lisa becomes restless with her ho-hum suburban lifestyle and catches the first bus to Sprooklyn in hopes of reconnecting with her inner hipster.

Plot

When the announcements for the Nobel Prize winners is on early in the morning, about 4:00 AM, Homer comes down and asks why Lisa and some of her and Bart's friends are still up. It turns out that Krusty has won the Nobel Peace Prize. At the announcement in front of Springfield Town Hall, Mayor Quimby announces to the rest of the town that Krusty has won. As Krusty cracks jokes, Homer is the only one who laughs at them. Krusty then takes Homer to his limo. In the limo, Krusty tells Homer that he wants Homer to go with him to Oslo, Norway to collect the prize as he always laughs at Krusty's jokes. Homer asks if he can take Bart with him, to which Krusty agrees.

As they board the Peace Prize One, Lisa gets upset that she never goes anywhere fun. Marge then doesn't go back home but instead takes Lisa to Expressions, a performing arts camp run by counsellors Kurt Hardwick and Ethan. Here, she meets fellow counsellors Amber Riley, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith. They instantly get along through song.

As the plane lands, Krusty, Homer and Bart get off to find that they are not in Oslo at all but they were in The Hague, The Netherlands. A Dutch policeman tells them that Krusty is to be arrested and tried at the International Court of Justice for his bad behavior in Western Europe. The only way for him to be freed was if there is evidence suggesting that Krusty has helped Western culture. Homer and Bart search for evidence.

Lisa really loves life in Expressions. They sing a lot of songs and even had Stephen Hawking join in. Marge eventually comes to pick Lisa up and tells her that her time at camp is over. Lisa looks through her camera at all the photos to realise that Marge was right and it has been a week. They then return home.

Bart and Homer desperately search for evidence on the Internet and only find Krusty's bad behavior. They then find something they feel would get Krusty free. At the court, they show the evidence that Krusty inadvertently helped out in one of his bad moods. He is then allowed to go.

Meanwhile, Lisa runs away to Sprooklyn to find Ethan and Kurt, thinking that it was the glamorous place they made it out to be.

It turns out that they work in the sandwich shop, Sprubway, and that they are low on money as artists don't get a lot. Lisa eventually calls Marge to come and get her as she decides she hates Sprooklyn.
