* TheWoobie: Krusty's backstory reveals that he wanted to be a clown but his stubborn rabbi father would not let him do so, and when he found out Krusty was doing it anyway behind his back because the lure was too strong, he disowned him and didn't speak to him for twenty-five years. It was so bad for Krusty that merely thinking about his father can reduce him to tears, and after showing a father-son Itchy and Scratchy episode and probably wishing he had moments like that with his own father, he was reduced to a sobbing mess on TV, causing Bart and Lisa to do all they can to reunite Krusty with his father, which they are eventually able to do.
