Gentlemen, our prayers have been answered.

Take a look at our Little Miss Springfield's pageant application.

Roxy, bring in a bottle of champagne.

Yeah, and some dip for these chips or somethin'.

Lisa Simpson is no longer Little Miss Springfield.

She was stripped of her crown in a ceremony earlier today.

Well, that's obviously the wrong footage.

Uh, but it does seem the father of the deposed beauty queen, Homer Simpson... filled out the pageant application incorrectly.

In the area under "Do not write in this space," he wrote, "Okay."

If it wasn't for me, you'd still be queen.

You must hate me.

Dad, do you remember why you entered me in that pageant?

I don't know. Was I drunk?

Possibly.

But the point is, you wanted me to feel better about myself, and I do.

Really?

Uh-huh.

Will you remember this the next time I wreck your life?

It's a deal.

And now, my exclusive interview with His Holiness, Pope John Paul I.

That's it. I cannot work under these conditions.

I am so Krunchy the Clown! [ Belches ]

All right. That's it.

I've been scorched by Krusty before.

I got a rapid heartbeat from those Krusty Brand vitamins.

My Krusty calculator didn't have a seven or an eight!



And Krusty's autobiography was self-serving with many glaring omissions.

But this time, he's gone too far!

We want Krusty! We want Krusty! We want Krusty!

Yeah, we want Krunchy! We want Krunchy!

I thought you said you broke their spirits.

We did.

You broke nothing.

[ Bart ] Let's get 'em!

To the hydrofoil!

[ All Clamoring ]

My chunky brothers, gorge yourselves at the trough of freedom!

[ Cheering ]

[ Slurping ]

Ahh! Sweet, nourishing gruel!

Kowalski!

My brownies!

Wiggum!

A change of underwear!

Crandall!

My insulin!

[ Squeaking ]

Bart! You said you were gonna name it Camp Freedom!

Aah, this has more zing.

I dub thee Sir--

Urgent call for Mr. Clown.

This better be important. Oy, gevalt! just let your head flop back and forth.

Your neck is a well-cooked piece of asparagus.

[ Man On TV] We interrupt Sadrudin Mabaradad's Yoga Party for this special bulletin--

"Krisis at Kamp Krusty."

[ Gasps ]

Ladies and gentlemen, I've been to Vietnam, Afghanistan and lraq... and I can say without hyperbole... that this is a million times worse than all of them put together.

[ Chanting ] Burn, Krusty, burn! Burn, Krusty, burn!



A group of school-aged Spartacuses has taken this camp by force.

Three counselors are missing and presumed scared.

What's that? I'm being told I can have an exclusive interview with the ringleader.

[ Thinking ] Don't be the boy. Don't be the boy.

D'oh!

I just want the whole world to know that this was a really crappy camp.

Can I say "crappy" on  TV?

Yes, on this network, you can.

Is it true you attempted suicide when you heard the news?

Are you and Princess Di just friends?

You people make me sick!

You're vultures! Where were you when I sang at Farm Aid?

Out of my way, you parasites! I said, out of my way!

I'm no fake. I'm the real Krusty.

Oh, yeah? Who played your daughter in the short-lived sitcom President Clown?

I don't know her name, but she held up a liquor store last year.

I smell bacon. Let's see if he's wearing a wire!

Hey! Whoa! No! Not the face!

[ Gasping ]

Lisa: It is the real Krusty.

Look at that pacemaker scar, the cattle skull birthmark... and his famous superfluous nipple.

At least you're not as bad as Customs.

How could you, Krusty? I'd never lend my name to an inferior product.

[ Loud Sobbing ] Oh!

They drove a dump truck full Of money up to my house.

I'm not made of stone!

Krusty, this camp was a nightmare.

They fed us gruel. They forced us to make wallets for export.

And one of the campers was eaten by a bear.

Oh, my God! [ Sobbing ]

Well, actually, the bear just ate his hat.

Was it a nice hat?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God!

I'm gonna make it up to you. I'm gonna Show you kids the time of your life.

Get ready for two weeks at the Happiest Place on Earth--

Tijuana!
