10 Worst Things Krusty The Clown Has Ever Done

9. He Sold Shoddy, Life-Endangering Merchandise

Episode: "'Round Springfield" (Season 6, Episode 22)

The show has proven time and time again that Krusty is a shameless shill who will blindly lend his "seal of approval" to any branded product no matter how tawdry.

This comes home to roost in spectacular fashion when Bart eats a bowl of Krusty-O cereal, only to swallow the prize in the box, which just so happens to be a jagged metal Krusty-O, causing him great intestinal discomfort.

Hilariously, Krusty holds a press conference to prove that the metal Krusty-O isn't dangerous by eating one, only to start gagging and quickly be informed that he was actually eating a regular Krusty-O.

Bart ends up getting a $100,000 settlement, the majority of which is pocketed by his attorney Lionel Hutz, before the new Krusty-O prize is revealed to be...flesh-eating bacteria.

Throughout The Simpsons, Krusty has been shown to whore himself relentlessly with badly-made products, including pregnancy tests with birth defect-inducing properties, which were eventually re-purposed as coffee stirrers for the Philippines market.
