The Simpsons: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best
13. Krusty The Clown
In the words of Stephen Sondheim, "Send in the clowns".
Krusty is one of the most ubiquitous parts of The Simpsons, as his clown hair, face, and costume are some of the most memorable parts of the show. He's eye-catching by design, and this makes him a visual delight - if you're not afraid of clowns. However, the best aspect of Krusty is how he twists the idea of being a children's TV show presenter.
This clown may not be close to acting like Pennywise, but he's no saint either. Krusty is prone to fits of arrogance, aggression and profanity, which he hides behind his happy on-screen persona. This contrast between the real Krusty and the one the kids see on TV is hilarious.
Plus, he's also shown to be a business monster, as he'll deliberately sell faulty products to kids for the money, giving him both a personal edge and a satirical look at business ethics.
