10 Worst Things Krusty The Clown Has Ever Done

7. He Let Kamp Krusty Become A Labour Camp

Episode: "Kamp Krusty" (Season 4, Episode 1)

"Kamp Krusty" is a legendary staple from the Golden Age of The Simpsons, where Bart and Lisa visit Kamp Krusty, a summer camp established by Krusty with all the (lack of) attention paid to a quality customer experience you'd expect from the clown.

You see, Krusty licensed out his brand to the shady Mr. Black, whose cost-cutting quickly caused the seemingly idyllic camp to fall into disrepute, defined by poorly-crafted cabins, Krusty-branded gruel for food, and Dolph, Jimbo and Kearney acting as power-drunk counsellors who take the kids on death marches and exploit them for hard labour.

Like a lot of Krusty's most shambolic failures, it's ultimately his negligence rather than his outright malevolence at play here.

Though Krusty does eventually show up at the camp - after Barney Gumble was first sent to impersonate him - his "apology" to the poor kids is to take them to "the happiest place on earth" for two weeks: Tijuana, Mexico. Yikes.
