Talk:Krusty the Clown

message: I moved this page from Krusty the Klown; the last word of his stage name is not spelled with a K. This can be seen in numerous episodes. Andrewlevine 20:22, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not certain, but I think that the name of the Tracy Ullman short (which was his first appearance) was spelled "Klown". I'm not sure how much it's been used since then, though. --Nick R 22:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In the shorts it was "Clown" but that doesn't count because he's been Krusty the Klown since the early sixties http://www.homerize.com/framegrabs.php?img=1F22/fg_228.jpg 58.104.20.47 01:52, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Originally, it was "Krusty the Klown", then the writers changed it to "Krusty the Clown" in the later seasons.
I'm going to throw my voice steadily behind "Krusty the Clown," rather than "Klown."  I really can't find a source for Klown, and the link above is quite dead.  At the very least, I'm going to change references to "Krusty's Klown Kollege" to "Krusty's Clown College," as that is clearly the spelling used in the episode, which I am watching as I type this.
In "Today, I am a Clown", Krusty says his full name is Herschel Pinkes Remochel Krustofski. Check the spelling on that.- B-101 23:06, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

             eh, too fatty. the Jackie Mason? I dunno, sauerkraut makes me

             Krusty the Klown?
   Waitress: That's ham, sausage, and bacon, with a smidge of mayo.
   Rabbi K:  What!?
   Waitress: On white bread.

replies: text: Krusty is shown consuming a pork sandwich in The Simpsons Movie (though he promptly spits it out afterward, kosher laws prohibit even the handling of pork, let alone placement in one's mouth). --BenStein69 (talk) 20:28, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sex Couldrin 

message: His name is Krusty the Clown and it should be spelled that way in the article. If they used "Klown" at some point early on in the shorts, that should have no bearing on how we spell Krusty's name now. Otherwise, we would have to accept that the characters are supposed to look like they originally did as well.  Does anyone think that this should be the image on the Homer Simpson article? I'm going to make the change. Croctotheface 21:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  "Clown" is how his name is usually spelled. It's spelled that way on the official site (click through the flash). One or two instances of "Klown" doesn't make it correct. Croctotheface 03:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not "one of two instances", they have used "Klown" many times. Just saying. TJ Spyke 03:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  If you say so.  The Simpsons website has "clown" and I can't think of an example from the show where they spelled it with a K.  Croctotheface 02:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

text: What is the Problem? Why can't we just include a line to the effect of: "...also spelled Krusty the Klown in some instances."? It's not like there is one single coherent Simpsons canon. There are numerous episodes which contradict each other. --BjKa (talk) 09:21, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Krusty → Krusty the Clown — The character from The Simpsons should be listed by his "full name", rather than just his first name. Krusty the Clown is a more appropriate title for an article than just "Krusty." Every other character on the show is listed by their full name (ex: Lenny Leonard, not Lenny (The Simpsons) ).

message: Do we have a source for the spelling of Krusty's middle names? (For example, is it Shmoikel or Schmoikel? Or something else entirely?) Also, is the Hebrew text in the lead really necessary? Zagalejo^^^ 19:32, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll start looking for a source on his name. As for the Hebrew text, no it's not necessary, I just forgot to remove it. -- Scorpion0422 21:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The source is Today I Am a Clown where he mentions his full name himself. Imho that should be enough, it being a primary source. And if you cannot find a source on the spelling, I'd say the default or more common spelling of the names should be used. --SoWhy Talk 16:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mirai no Krusty 

message: # Well written: Marginal pass. The prose seems clear and easy to understand. I was never confused in the body text. The lead section, however, still needs a bit of work. For example, nothing is mentioned about reception. You should add that ASAP.
# Factually accurate: Pass. Everything is very well referenced.
# Broad in coverage: Huge pass.
# Neutral: Pass. I couldn't find any serious bias at all.
# Stable: Pass. It's as stable as any other Simpsons article.
# Images: Pass, but I'm a little concerned about the use of two in the "Role in the series" section. That seems a little much - one would be sufficient, so I'll take it down soon.

thread_title: It's KrustofskY, not KrustofskI

message: In the DVD audio commentary for the Season 6 episode "Homie The Clown", Matt Groening states that "Krusty was meant to be Homer in clown makeup....the idea was that bart worshipped this clown, but had no respect for his father".  The statement "But they're basically the same looking person" is then added by another contributor.
The statement "He was designed to look like Homer Simpson with clown make-up, with the original idea being that Bart has no respect for his father, but worships a television clown who looks like him" is a more accurate representation of the stated idea behind the character than the current article statement "He was designed to look like Homer Simpson with clown make-up, with the original idea being that Bart worships a television clown who looks like his own father", as it demonstrates the contrast in the two relationships more clearly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.112.236 (talk) 12:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original idea behind Krusty the Klown and reference to Homer Simpson 

message: I was reading about the recently deceased Soupy Sales, and it struck me that his TV kid's show from the '50s and '60s was similar to Krusty's show, i.e., silly, edgy improv skits, pies in the face, etc. I wonder if Krusty's show was partially based on Soupy Sales?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65tosspowertrap (talk • contribs) 18:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
