It is an actual quote from the Babylonian Talmud: "...no one is poor save he who lacks knowledge... He who has this, has everything; he who lacks this, what has he? Has one acquired this, what does he lack? Has he not acquired this, what does he possess?"
There is no denying that Krusty's father is a hardass but there is a difference between an evening of fun and dedicating one's life to be an entertainer, not that I am siding with Rabbi Krustofsky in this matter though.
@@danielgoss6367 Ah yes that part, I think I pretty much agree with you in that regard and he pretty much disowned him at that moment, so did he also kicked him out of the house? Krusty ran away? or they lived together for years acting as if the other did not exist? Whatever the case that seems to be the main reason why Krusty is such an awful person; pretty interesting episode, not one of my favourites but a good example of the kind of quality they were delivering in those seasons.
Once a rabbi, always a rabbi. If he's an ex, then it means he never was to begin with. A circle has no beginning, and no end. But Jews, I suspect, think in terms of the letter C. There is a piece missing. But if it is found, then it was always complete. Faith, Hope, and finally, an unveiling. Fidelity is everything.
Kelly KitKat rabbi just means master, all learned Jews be master of themselves but no ignoramace of the Torah and talmud should call themselves master.
The little detail of Rabbi Krustofski folding his hands together after saying "...and Dyna-Flo suspension" is just so shy and adorable. Wonderful episode.
ethics and norms need to be kept strictly separate. he was asking, on the surface, an economical question. which is smart enough to bring up to a rabbi, but not this one's forte.
This is so brilliant man, not just for a cartoon but the way they knew about life and portrayed it; they knew life and that's what made the Simpsons the best. Now sadly, its not so great.
@@godzillavkk All I see in modern Simpsons is pitiful garbage about as funny as the overpriced dental work inflicted on me this morning, and heavy- handed political preaching masked as social commentary.
@@GeorgeBPryor I wondered this, but I rewatched some really early simpsons on Disney+ recently and it opened my eyes to the fact that a writer can only go so far as their own experience or imagination allows. For an example in the early episodes Barney is Homer's friend, not just drinking buddy, he comes over just to hang out with Homer and knew Bart since he was a baby. The way it all works definitely feels like the writer or writers had had those kinds of friendships and interactions and wrote them into the show, a lot of that went away in modern Simpsons.
The funny thing (no pun intended) is that Jewish culture is actually very big on humor. We know that life is serious, so we're very encouraging of using it to get through it's darker times.
Underrated joke: The Lower East Side of Springfield is occupied by Jewish people, reflecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan, which is known for its historically Jewish neighbourhood.
“Rabbi Krustofsky, I got this Dybbuk Box, and that thing in it is really mad. Also, it’s trying to get out. Should I deal with it myself or get someone to help me?”
Krusty: (narrates) "Dad wouldn't have suspected a thing, if not for one rowdy rabbi." Rabbi: (points a seltzer bottle at young Krusty) "Hey, funny man!" Young Krusty: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no,....!" (gets squirted in the face by the rabbi). Rabbi Krustofski: (chuckles but then notices his son on stage) "Herschel? Herschel! Why, you have brought shame over all our family! Of course if you were a musician or a jockey, those I could forgive, but this?" (shouts angrily) "I never want to see you again, you,...clown!" Young Krusty: (walks off stage, he hangs his head in shame and sobs as we pan to his older self doing the same). Krusty: (continues sobbing) "And I haven't seen my father since."
"Boy, you don't have to follow in my footsteps.." Just that line alone is basically three jokes. First, it's a lead-in to Bart's punchline and the ultimate punchline of the joke: Homer for once trying to be a thoughtful loving parent before getting mad one second later and choking his son. Second, the idea that Bart in any way is trying to live up to his parents' expectations. Third, the idea that Homer is in any way a role model for his son and should be emulated. I know that dissecting a joke is akin to killing the joke, but goddamn the writers deserve so much love.
@@kevinfrench9720 True, she always had blue hair. But her's only got really crazy when she grew up. Krusty had a green haircut, that makes him look like Larry (from the three stooges) since the beginning. Even before he decided to become a clown.
I know. It's sad there are still families who will disown a member if they want to do or actually do something they don't approve of. My Paternal Grandfather wanted my own Father to be an athlete when he wanted to be an actor. While he never disowned him, he was disappointed though.
My father kinda did that to me. i was a huge disappointment to my father so after he got new kids with a new woman i almost never see him anymore. I guess he prefers to spend time with his new way better children.
Dialogue by me, Rabbi: Herschel, you are the son of me, a Rabbi not that man Coy Perry who your mother left me for. Like their son, Luke is going to amount to anything.
I don’t blame Herschel one bit for defying his father and becoming a clown instead of a rabbi! Especially the bit where he was impersonating him at the yeshiva until the man furiously strangled him.
Funny how the rabbi says that life is not fun and that life is serious, yet he is later on seen at an entertainment club with other rabbis being amused by this little clown whom he recognizes as his son.
I always like Rabbi Krustofsky more than Reverend Lovejoy. Krustofsky imposes respect and ultimatelt is tolerant to people who have a different opinion. Lovejoy makes a fool out of myself for most times and does not tolerate people who have a different opinion.
My personal theory is that Krusty actually IS literate - but only in Hebrew, just not in Latin (i.e., the letters you are reading right now). Maybe the Yeshiva he went to never taught that. Maybe it actually did, but for some reason it didn't stick with Li'l Krusty.
“No one is poor except he who lacks knowledge” you know… that’s actually some pretty wise advice
It is an actual quote from the Babylonian Talmud: "...no one is poor save he who lacks knowledge... He who has this, has everything; he who lacks this, what has he? Has one acquired this, what does he lack? Has he not acquired this, what does he possess?"
Yes it is that sentence really stood out
Mhm.
Book of Proverbs. Written by wisest King in the History, Solomon.
No, it's horseshit.
Springfield has Jewish, Asian, Russian, Italian districts ...How big is it?
don't ask, almost every episode there's a new district lol
As big as is required for any given joke.
DartLuke you never been to Hamilton Ontario Canada before
It also has a port and is completely landlocked
Exactly. The city changes depending on the needs of the episode.
Great is the car with power steering and dynaflow suspension.
Dynaflow was a Buick automatic transmission. Torsion-air was Chrysler suspension. And their power steering was the poweriest.
Dynaflow is also a type of engine exhaust muffler system
Dinahshore is Dynaflow’s sister...just sayin’.
“Life is not fun. Life is serious.”
Yet he was at an entertainment club with other Rabbis.
A hypocritical religious leader? Never!
@@communistpropagandist4608 you have brought shame on our family! I never want to see you again you clown!

Jackie Mason absolutely nailed voicing Krusty's father. He totally deserved that Emmy he won for this role.
I totally loved him in that thing I saw him in.
I could be wrong, but I think he was the first winner of that category.
So the common father son abuse in Springfield is strangling.
@@davidribeiro They're not mutually exclusive
The CPA in Springfield is probably as competent as its Police Dept.
Tell me, are you familiar with real life? Also, ironically, this thing they call a 'joke'?
@@UnitSe7en I know. Relax man.
& I thought homer invented strangling your own kid
Fun fact: Jackie Mason is himself an ex- rabbi.
Once a rabbi, always a rabbi. If he's an ex, then it means he never was to begin with. A circle has no beginning, and no end. But Jews, I suspect, think in terms of the letter C. There is a piece missing. But if it is found, then it was always complete. Faith, Hope, and finally, an unveiling. Fidelity is everything.
Kelly KitKat You sound like a rabbi yourself.
this was based on Mason's backstory
Kelly KitKat rabbi just means master, all learned Jews be master of themselves but no ignoramace of the Torah and talmud should call themselves master.
@@kellykitkat40 u ever try drawing a circle

Hasn’t been in a loooooong time. Last time was when Krusty was a boy.
Chrsyler is garbage lmao
@@Burritosuupreme I think that the last time was in the 80's. The 88' New Yorker sure looks rad!
The rabbi gave bad advice.
Well you know, some believe the Chrysler hasn't come yet, others are waiting for the second coming.
Life is not fun life is serious... a harsh truth.

- Shut the door!!
- Oy gevalt!
What did that joke mean?

Rest In Peace Mr Jackie Mason

So judging by young Krusty, green is his natural hair colour.
I love those old episodes
Well, he was born with a crazy green haircut. He pretty much didn't had any other choice in life, but to become a clown.
What about Marge's crazy blue haircut?
@@kevinfrench9720 True, she always had blue hair. But her's only got really crazy when she grew up.
Krusty had a green haircut, that makes him look like Larry (from the three stooges) since the beginning. Even before he decided to become a clown.

Imagine how painful it must be for your own father to abandon you like that for so many years. I'll bet it hurts like crazy!
I know. It's sad there are still families who will disown a member if they want to do or actually do something they don't approve of. My Paternal Grandfather wanted my own Father to be an athlete when he wanted to be an actor. While he never disowned him, he was disappointed though.

My personal theory is that Krusty actually IS literate - but only in Hebrew, just not in Latin (i.e., the letters you are reading right now).
Maybe the Yeshiva he went to never taught that. Maybe it actually did, but for some reason it didn't stick with Li'l Krusty.
