While on a field trip to a local box factory, Bart sneaks across the road to Channel Six studios where The Krusty The Clown show is being taped. When Bart steals Kent Brockmans danish and gives it to Krusty, he is hired as Krusty's new assistant. Work wasn't all it was cut out to be; just before he was about to quit Krusty tells him he needs Bart to be an extra in a comedy sketch. When it all goes wrong and Bart knocks over the set live on television, he utters the words "I didn't do it." The audience think this is a hoot and he becomes an instant celebrity. It doesn't take long for the fad to wear off, and when people stop laughing at him, Bart is fired by Krusty.

Reminder: if you want to see a specific episode covered, PM me with your request and I'll add it to the list of upcoming episodes.

Edna: And now, Principal Skinner will tell us where we'll be going on this year's field trip.
Skinner: Thank you, Edna, everyone. [clears throat] Now, class, I wonder who among you can tell me what this is? [shows a box]
Edna: Oh, not the box factory again, Seymour!
[Class groans]
Martin: This may well prove fascinating!
Bart: I know: I'll just do like Lisa and escape into fantasy!
[Bart imagines Seymour]
Skinner: Class, instead of going to the box factory today, we'll be going to the...box factory!
Bart: Damn TV, you've ruined my imagination, just like you've ruined my ability to -- to, um...uh...oh well. [Turns on Itchy & Scratchy on a portable TV]

Homer: Y'ello? You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.

Bart: I'm Bart Simpson. I saved you from jail.
Krusty: [not remembering] Er, I...
Bart: I reunited you with your estranged father.
Krusty: Er, uh, I don't know...
Bart: I saved your career, man! Remember your comeback special?
Krusty: Yeah, well, what have you done for me lately?
Bart: I got you that danish.
Krusty: [grateful] And I'll never forget it.

Homer: Come on, Lisa, say something funny.
[holds a tape recorded with a microphone]
Lisa: Like what?
Homer: Oh, something stupid like Bart would say. "Bucka Bucka" or "Woozle Wuzzle": something like that.
Lisa: Forget it, Dad. If I ever become famous, I want it to be for something worthwhile, not because of some obnoxious fad.
Bart: Obnoxious fad?
Homer: Aw, don't worry, son. You know, they said the same thing about Urkel, a -- that little snot boy! I'd like to smash that kid!

Guide: Many interesting and important things have been put into boxes
over the years: textiles, other boxes, even children's candy.
Milhouse: Do any of these boxes have candy in them?
Guide: No.
Milhouse: Will they ever?
Guide: No, we only make boxes to ship nails. Any other questions?
Martin: When will we be able to see a finished box, Sir?
Guide: Well, we don't assemble them here -- that's done in Flint,
Michigan.
Bart: Have any of the workers ever had their hands cut off by the
machinery?
Guide: No --
Bart: And then the hand started crawling around and tried to
strangle everybody?
Guide: No, that has never happened.
Bart: Any popped eyeballs?
Guide: I'm not sure what kind of factory you're thinking of; we just
make boxes here.


Guide: This room is the most popular part of our tour.
Milhouse: It's just like the other rooms.
Guide: Yes, but with one important difference: [looks over] Oh, they
took that out. Yes, it is just like the other rooms.
Milhouse: [pointing out the window] What's that building over there?
Guide: That's just a TV studio where they film Krusty the Klown and
other non-box-related programs. Since it has nothing to do
with boxes, I'll just shut these blinds.

Im horrible with quotes, but when Homer thinks Bart has been turned into a box because his lucky red hat is on one is hilarious. The towel quote has been repeated by me ad nauseum over the years, brilliance.

I DIDN"T DO IT

I like it when Barney pretends to be Bart on "BartChat" hotline.

Excuse me little boy do you work here ?

Yeah.

Ok SIR GO RIGHT IN

You'll have to speak up i'm wearing a towel


The best one liner ever, in any show.

Agreed.

I remember when I bought the season 5 dvd set, I was kind of surprised that this episode was as old as it is. Haven't seen it in a while, so I forget a lot of things. I do remember liking it, though.

Krusty: Bart! I need to use you in a sketch.
Bart: You want me to be on the show?
Krusty: It's just one line. Mel was supposed to do it, but he's dead.
Bart: Dead?
Krusty: Or sick. I dunno...I forget.

I also enjoy Bart's appearance on teh Conan O'Brien show, where "only Conan may dance."
