* MemeticMutation: In light of the world-dominating coronavirus pandemic in 2020 that caused almost all sporting events to be cancelled, pages relating to still-ongoing matches often have someone sharing an image of Krusty stating how he'd have 100% of the audience. This trend started with the "[[UsefulNotes/AustralianRulesFootball AFL]] Related Simpsons Quotes" page on Facebook[[labelnote:*]]along with a goofy image of AFL CEO Gillon [=McLachlan=] saying "Let's get buzzay" on the replies[[/labelnote]], although the AFL itself was [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed By The Virus]] just two days into Round 1.

Removing misuse. This doesn't count as values dissonance, as is not seen different by the audience today as it was previously.


* ValuesDissonance: In one scene, Lisa wishes to meet the first female stealth bomber pilot (also named Lisa). While all of these details would still endure with Lisa's current characterization as a hard-core feminist, her casual (and gleeful) mention that the pilot dropped bombs on 70 mosques either would not have been recorded at all or Lisa would have mentioned it in a "WhatTheHellHero" fashion.

Has Krusty even been proven irredeemable in later episodes?


* MoralEventHorizon:
** Krusty vehemently and selfishly opposes sacrificing television to save Springfield. When this is done anyway, he decides to continue filming his show from an emergency broadcast system under the belief that, being on the only channel available, he will get a bigger audience and boosted ratings. While the bomb ultimately turns out to be a dud, this doesn't excuse the fact that Krusty was perfectly willing to let everyone in Springfield die solely because he wanted ''higher ratings''.
** And when Bob finds out, he unhesitatingly presses the detonator button. If not for the fact that the bomb was so old it was now inactive, he would have been responsible for a nuclear holocaust.

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Bart's backpack exploding after being run over by Homer's car. Is it just another instance of everything in Springfield being MadeOfExplodium, or is it implying there were some illicit explosives Bart was carrying?

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: An Australian man who looks like Rupert Murdoch [[BitingTheHandHumor seen in jail]] with Sideshow Bob for an unspecified crime. Years later, the British ''News of the World'' newspaper (owned by Murdoch) wiretapped celebs to get the lowdown on news and ''made believe that some kidnapped, murdered teens were still alive''. The paper shut down in 2011, although Murdoch never personally faced any charges.

** When Bob is watching Krusty's show in prison, Krusty can be seen literally mopping the floor with Sideshow Mel. Shortly before the episode aired, a woman named Awilda Lopez was arrested for child abuse resulting in her adoptive daughter's death which included, among other things, using her head to mop the floor.
