10 Worst Things Krusty The Clown Has Ever Done

8. He Gambled Away His Secret Daughter's Violin...To Fat Tony

The Simpsons Fat Tony
Fox

Episode: "Insane Clown Poppy" (Season 12, Episode 3)

This episode reveals that Krusty has a long-lost daughter, Sophie, born out of wedlock as a result of a one-night stand he had with a soldier during the Gulf War.

Krusty unsuccessfully attempts to bond with Sophie to no avail, and after he gets wiped out during a poker game against Fat Tony, he decides to go all in and gamble Sophie's precious violin.

Inevitably, Krusty loses, allowing Fat Tony to literally play a sad violin for him as he realises he's just given away his daughter's most-loved possession in the entire world.

Krusty does at least win back Sophie's affection later by stealing the violin back, but it still doesn't get much lower than even entertaining the thought of squandering your kid's hopes and dreams - let alone actually (temporarily) doing it.
