[@TheScottEF]

It's politeness plus sinister hubris and ego. That's what makes the whole scene so perfect.

[@Tim_ra]

And Side Show Bob's a big ham.

[@jasonmnosaj]

Bob was simply pushed too far by Krusty for several years. Underneath Bob is a boring and polite person. He is just filled with to much rage to be contained anymore. All men can become monsters if tormented enough. Krusty is a monster himself, he's just one of those fortunate enough to be under the protection of hollywood, and Bart. It's kinda ironic that Krusty didn't stay in prison given all of the other things they found out about Krusty after the robbery charges. I feel like his lawyers were able to sweep the rest of the stuff under the rug after Bart proved Krusty was innocent of robbery. It's REALLY wierd how much Krusty gets away with when you think about it. All becuase he entertains children. My guess is that's the real reason Krusty stayed a clown his whole life. He keeps going back to being a clown not out of necessity, but becuase it's a great public act.

Unspecified They're not talking about the actor (Kelsey Grammer), they're talking about the character (Sideshow Bob). In the Simpsons, Sideshow Bob was Krusty's silent sideshow act before Sideshow Mel, and he resented Krusty wasting his talents on silly slapstick.

[@shannon4386]

I think that's why he's supposed to be such an angry guy. He's a really talented classically trained performer who due to unknown circumstances is a sidekick on a kid's show where he's regularly humiliated. Bart just caused him to snap, which is why he has such an irrational hatred of him.

[@Yakkymania]

Earlier on in the episode, the Simpson family are listening to “The FBI Light Opera Society Sings the Complete Gilbert & Sullivan”, & the entire family sings along to Three Little Maids from The Mikado. So not only is Bart familiar with Pinafore, he’s familiar with G&S in general, & had listened to Pinafore very recently

[@phastinemoon]

The fact that he’s apparently into it, too - it’s one thing to try and STALL, it’s another to be INVESTED!

[@RyanTheDark]

Bart is smarter than Lisa in a lot of ways. In my opinion, he would do better than Lisa. He has a mixture of street and book smarts, can adapt after high school depending if he wants to go to college. Lisa depends too much on school smarts.

[@DragonmanX90]

​@@RyanTheDark Lisa is intelligent; but much of her aura of "genius" stems from her being compared to the adults around her and those in her age group. She'll always be smarter when compared to the Wiggums or Lenny. She's so completely tied her sense of self-worth to her intellect that she's not managed to develop social skills or street smarts; and loses her mind whenever she's not the "smart one". Bart, by comparison, is an unmotivated underachiever; he sees no reason to try to succeed other than making Marge happy since Homer doesn't care. But get him invested, and he can outwit just about anyone.

[@KopperNeoman]

​@@DragonmanX90Lisa's also horrifically naive at times due to her smarts being mostly education. Bart would never fall for socialism like she would for example.

Classic Simpsons, even when it got surreal like this scene, always managed to stay just this side of surreal to be hilarious. One reason for the show's decline was when it started throwing in really ridiculous stuff that was just too bizarre.

[@WouldNotPokeThat]

Golden Age Simpsons dabbled in surrealism, but knew when to toe the line. It rarely used it as a plot point, but instead for a great joke. It isn't until the Scully era that you get stuff like Homer ending up on a Prisoner-esque island.

[@squamish4244]

WouldNotPokeThat That's a good disctintion. Sideshow Bob would not need to have these props and costumes and the Union Jack appear out of nowhere for the episode to work. I remember the Prisoner episode...ugh. But the first sign for me was Armand Tanzarium. There you have the whole plot centred on something surreal. That was the beginning of the Scully era, Season 9.

Such a brilliant callback!

I can listen to Sideshow Bob sing all day. It's so intriguing and intoxicating. 😍😎💯😩👍😏

Me too.

Back to watch this after treehouse of horror.

[@williamwhite2113]

I love that Bart presents Bob with flowers at the end. That gets me every time.

[@wandanemer2630]

That WASN'T even Bart!! The hands are darker skinned, and Bart was still clapping by then! It makes even less sense, I love it!

Season 5 and 6 is just full of my favorite episodes throughout this whole series and even the golden age.

No doubt about it, this is my all time favourite episode

Best sideshow bob episode ever

[@BB-xm6hy]

yess!

[@jnc8999]

Yes the reason for the numerous jokes was because the episode ran too short

[@angbandsbane]

Ever since I first saw this, I loved the increasingly good costumes and sets, but now as an adult I THINK the instrumentation is getting more elaborate too.

[@OptimusPhillip]

I gotta give Bart some props for pulling that title right off the top of his head. I certainly wouldn't have been able to just name any Gilbert & Sullivan operetta at age 10. Maybe Pirate of Penzance, but even that would've been a stretch. Then again, I was never stalked by a Gilbert & Sullivan-obsessed murderer at age 10, so I didn't have much incentive to learn.

I was a year old when this episode came out. Caught the rerun once. Then the tree house of horror episode came out and showed the alternate timeline.

[@chunnokleungarchivemediast9798]

I do know about it, that episode was great, when the alternate timeline was shown, it cracked my heads off, couldn't about the outcome that leads someone becoming a serial killer.

[@Yakkymania]

I need a full version of this so badly, i’ve listened to a few different versions of the entire HMS Pinafore score but i haven’t liked any of them more than i like this

Treehouse of Horror XXXIV. They revisit this episode as a flashback, but with an alternate outcome where Bob realizes he's been duped and kills Bart.

[@Derah_OG]

When we saw this 30 seasons ago, never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined that there was an alternate timeline in which Lisa managed to wiggle herself away from her family and into the window to watch Sideshow Bob's performance....... which caused him to catch onto the ruse before he could sing the final note, and brutally murdered bart before the boat crashed. Which created a downward spiral that saw most of the simpsons family either dead or broken.

[@chunnokleungarchivemediast9798]

I saw that in my dreams before, Marge died of sorrow out of committing suicide, Homer died having choked on tennis ball during a sport play, Maggie worked as a prison security, and Lisa' split personality emerged as a serial killer killing many children and family members, lead her into Sideshow Bob's prison and killed him to avenge Bart's death, but this action had caused a deadly consequence to Lisa's foster boyfriend Graham Wallace who is ashamed for what he had done, he's the one who loved, tortured, raped and beating Lisa, she still loved him so much reminded of her brother, he 's the one who suggested her to study criminology that lead her becoming a serial killer herself, resulted him leaving the Simpsons and never return, eventually leading Graham to form New Ghost Shadows gang, which is famously known as Asian motorcycle, car and bus enthusiasts club, the club evolves over the course of a decade from a gathering place for local outsiders into a more sinister gang, leading to them using special cars and preserved bus to gain power and control.
