Krusty Burger is a fast-food restaurant chain that was founded in Springfield.

History

Krusty Burger was founded by Krusty the Clown, star of The Krusty the Klown Show.

During the Summer of 1984, Krusty Burger launched a promotion that gave free burgers to those who pick Olympic Events won by the United States on their game cards. The games involved in the promotion were games that were traditionally won by the Russians. Unfortunately for Krusty, the Russians boycott the Olympics, and the United States win almost every event, costing him $44 million [1].

After the restaurant was proclaimed the "unhealthiest restaurant in the world", Krusty decided that the restaurant should serve the "Mother Nature Burger", a vegetarian burger. Later, it turns out that the burger was made with tainted barley produced from Ogdenville, and anyone who consumed the burger received food poisoning

Marketing

Krusty also appears to have some input into running the company, personally losing $44 million when a promotional tie-in, in which Krusty Burger was chosen the Official Meat-Flavored Sandwich of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, backfired due to a Soviet boycott, and Krusty Burger was forced to give away much more food than expected; Krusty expressed his displeasure by stating on live television that "I, personally am gonna spit into every fiftieth burger!"

It has frequently been established that Krusty is not particularly fond of the food served, shown when recording a commercial (immediately before learning of his $44 million dollar loss), he said, "Ewww! I almost swallowed some of the juice!" At one time, Krusty bit a Ribwich and said, "Mmm, I don't mind the taste!"

Locations

Krusty Burger operates in thousands of locations across the United States including an unprofitable franchise on an unmanned off-shore oil platform.

Video Games

In The Simpsons Hit & Run, Cletus Spuckler often works for Krusty Burger, collecting roadkill for the burgers (according to Bart Simpson, it "explains the tire tracks".) Cletus also has to contend with Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, who claims that "no one can sell rotten meat in this town but me."

Behind the Scenes

  • Krusty Burger is a parody of the worldwide fast food chain McDonalds.
  • Krusty Burger's Olympics marketing gaffe in "Lisa's First Word" was inspired by the real-life "When America Wins, You Win" game at McDonald restaurants, in which the odds of winning free food, based on the chances of the U.S. winning medals, were calculated before the Soviet Union and other communist nations withdrew from the Games, leading the United States to dominate the medals chart, and McDonald's to lose a large amount of money on the promotion.
  • In conjunction with the opening of The Simpsons Ride, Krusty Burger opened at Universal Studios Hollywood and replaced Doc Brown's Chicken in January 2009.
  • A burger king commercial featured Krusty telling the audience to not buy the whopper and instead buy his deep fried krusty burger. He then proceeded to beg the audience stating that he was behind on seven allimonys and wearing paper bags for shoes. The burger king mascot then appeared and offered Krusty a whopper. Krusty then punched him and told the audience again to not buy the whopper. The burger king mascot rose up and knocked out Krusty.
