Episode Information
|
"Fears of a Clown" is the 14th episode of season 29. It aired on April 1, 2018.
Synopsis
- "Bart goes to prankster rehab after a clown-mask prank terrifies the town and destroys Krusty's career. A tortured Krusty then tries his hand at serious drama with a regional theater company."
Plot
Martin discovers Skinner giving to Myra the keys to the trophy case, announcing his retirement. After promising to keep the secret, Martin reveals it, by ear, to others, and the news comes to the teachers' lounge.
At the cerimony for the retirement, Skinner calls out Bart to give a farewell speech, however, when Bart tries to prank him with the slingshot, he deflects the rock (that ricotches on Agnes's head), and pranks Bart, telling him that the retirement was a prank to him, with Willie pouring honey and Coach Krupt spreading bird seeds on him.
Production
The front cover of the script incorrectly refers to the episode title as "Tears of a Clown", rather than "Fears of a Clown", which is the actual episode title.[1]
It is a re-imagining of Stephen King's It but with Krusty.[2]
A first description of the plot was: "Everybody is now horrified of clowns after Bart does a prank using clown masks, which also makes Krusty lose his job. He tries to come back as a dramatic actor for the play "The Salesman's Bad Day", with Llewellyn Sinclair as his director."[3]
