S07E15
"Bart the Fink" is the fifteenth episode of The Simpsons' seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 11, 1996. In this episode, Bart ruins Krusty the Clown's career by accidentally exposing Krusty as one of the biggest tax cheats in American history. Driven to despair, Krusty fakes a suicide in order to start life anew as a sailor; feeling guilty for what he did, Bart convinces Krusty to become a television clown again.
The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and Bob Kushell, and directed by Jim Reardon. American actor Bob Newhart guest starred in it as himself. The episode's title is a play on the 1991 film Barton Fink. Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 8.7, and was the fifth highest-rated show on the Fox network the week it aired.
After the death of great aunt Hortense, the Simpson family attends a will reading. Each member of the family discovers they will receive $100 to do with as they like. Marge has Bart and Lisa open bank accounts at the Bank of Springfield. Bart is excited with his new checking account, and begins writing checks for his friends. In an attempt to obtain Krusty the Clown's autograph, Bart slips a check into Krusty's pocket, figuring that he will receive an endorsed copy of it with his monthly bank statement. However, when Bart receives the check, it is endorsed with a stamp instead of a signature. Dismayed, Bart takes the check back to the bank so that they can force Krusty to sign it. Suspicious, a bank teller investigates, and within minutes Krusty is exposed as one of the biggest tax cheats in American history.
The IRS takes control of Krusty's assets and his show, reducing his lifestyle to that of an average citizen. One evening, a depressed Krusty pilots his airplane into a mountainside, and he is later pronounced dead. While everyone assumes that Krusty is dead, Bart believes otherwise when he begins to see a Krusty look-alike all over town. With Lisa's help, he soon discovers that Krusty has gone into hiding under the disguise of Rory B. Bellows, a grizzled old longshore worker. They try to convince him to return to his former life, and he finally accepts when they explain how he is more respected than the nations' scientists and teachers. Krusty kills off his pseudonym in a "boating accident" in order to collect the life insurance, thus ending his tax woes.
The episode's title is a play on the 1991 film Barton Fink.
After losing his show and money, Krusty takes the bus home. An advertisement on the bus reads "Are you missing Mad About You right now? NBC Must See TV Sundays at 8 p.m."
Krusty's airplane, "I'm-on-a-rolla-Gay", is a spoof of the Enola Gay B-29 airplane that dropped the atomic bomb on the Japanese city Hiroshima in World War II.
Krusty's illegal Cayman Islands "accountant" is modeled on the actor Sydney Greenstreet, particularly on his role in the film Casablanca.
Swartzwelder is seen attending Krusty's funeral, who appears with a Kermit the Frog puppet on his hand. 1pp2p30eccmcv3443 - Krátké a kreslené filmy
“Some might say you a hero, kid! Not me, however. I love Krusty.”
The fact that Lisa cashed in a $0.01 check and it went through
I find it funny how differently they portray Krusty's finances in some episodes he's living in an apartment other episodes he's in a mansion with a private plane
He got his up and downs
Like plenty of other rich celebrities, he likely has properties all over the place.
@@barbiquearea most rich celebrities probably wouldn't make one of their numerous places some small house or apartment though. I think the reason he's been seen in both mansions and small dank places is because when he's done well, he's been able to buy a large house. And when he's had financial slumps, his large house was foreclosed and he could only afford a dank little place until he financially was able to make money again and buy another big place, and he's continued to keep bouncing up and down like that.
He was living in the apartment because his assistant was in the process of buying him a new mansion, as the old one was dirty.
Such is show business
Holy shit, the subtle gag that bart has been waiting there all day is gold
It was only 3 hours
Why is it gold?
Slideshow Bob must have been smacking himself. All it took to put Krusty away was a call
But then he’d be laughing, knowing that his nemesis accidentally put his hero away. 😂
The most unrealistic part of this, a Bank doing anything to stop Tax evasion.
Avoision
Come to think of it. When Krusty the Clown deposited that check surely any bank Teller would have seen it
Come gather 'round children, it's high time ye learn
About a hero named Donald and a devil named Biden
@@metolurr530 both are devils
Heck even Al Capone was arrested for Tax evasion
Huh. Apparently "Avoision" is an actual word
Avoision. Noun.
"The arrangement of one's financial affairs so as to avoid or minimize tax liability in such a way that it is not clear whether this constitutes lawful avoidance of tax or illegal tax evasion."
From before or after this episode aired. It may have become a word since.
Edit: Nevermind it’s from the 1970’s
this show was so smart
Man, old Simpsons was phenomenal
@@concars1234 smrt
Avoision is a perfectly cromulent word
1:50 “Oh, crap! I shouldn’t have time stamped this part!”
Quite right! Instead, you should have provided adequate sustenance for the Dr Who Marathon.
As long as its classic Dr Who and not the current trash.
it's too hot today
U 2
I like the Spanish one, ¡changos, hace mucho calor!
"OK, folks, show's over. Nothing to see here, show's - OH MY GOD, A HORRIBLE PLANE CRASH!"
2:16 "hey hey hey hey I bought this popcorn fair and square " .😂😂😂
It takes exactly 4 minutes after Bart complains to the bank that Krusty's door is broken down by the IRS. No government agency is that efficient.
the irs definitely is, when moneys on the line at least
...But it takes then 3 hours to tell Bart what happened, they're only efficient when money is involved.
Actually I think the whole thing took about an hour because you think about it different time zones. The Cayman Islands Washington DC New York Springfield. It seems like it took 4 minutes but it was actually longer than that the time zones just made it different. Then again the reason for this guy's because millions of Americans hate the IRS
@@tomedy_official You are overthinking it.
It is when you owe them money lol
"Photo courtesy of Homer Simpson" 😂
"Call me back, Ishmael." Totally didn't get that joke/reference as a kid.
I still don't.
@@SirMangler It is a variation of the very first sentence from the seafaring fiction classic Moby Dick by Herman Melville "Call me Ishmael". Although, it is not made clear in the book if the narrating character is named Ishmael.
1:50 this moment never ever fails to make me chuckle.
"Thats handsome pete, he dances for nickels!" 🤡
not a quarter! DARRRGGHH He'll be dancing for hours!
2.3% annual interest.......those were the days.
What’s it now? Like 0.5?
@@newerest1 wow that sucks! But I appreciate you telling me, thank you sir!
And now they’re back again
Getting 4.7% currently
3:51 🤣🤣wiggum cracks me up
I'm sorry, but I cannot divulge information about that customer's secret illegal account. Oh, crap. I shouldn't have said he was a customer. Oh, crap. I shouldn't have said it was a secret. Oh, crap! I certainly shouldn't have said it was illegal. It's too hot today.
The Spanish version is really good too where the shady launderer says , ¡changos, hace mucho calor!”
(Crap, it’s too hot!)
@@elcabo4557 it was just too hot that day
They cut the part where Comic Book Guy's wheelbarrow of tacos tips over.
It was too heartbreaking for most test audiences
avoision is a perfectly cromulent word
3:50
"OK folks! Shows over! Nothin to see he--AW MAH GAWD!!!!!"
All of this would have been a different episode if Marge hadn’t put down her foot about her kids humanity. Lisa would have succeeded in doing the nice thing and Bart would not have resorted to using a check book, the offshore guy would not have called out Krusty for tax evasion, Krusty’s salary would not have been eaten by the IRS, Krusty wouldn’t have died presumably and Krusty would still be in his mansion. It would have been an episode about donating to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and there would have been another mind blowing story about donating to public TV.
Lesson learned, if you don’t want your kids finking their own idol, put your foot down over something stupid please.
I can't believe krusty would fake his death.
Perhaps he’ll get a job as Handsome Pete’s understudy.
@@rahimallouche7708 Me neither. He jumped off a plane in parachute and allowed the plane to crash, making it look like he died.
@@hahayouarefunny Perhaps he would.
“Yar! Call me back, Ismael.”
For the Dr.Who marathon.
I like that this episode takes place in January 1996 but there's no snow to be seen. What a country!
3:35 *annnnnd they live next to a mountain we've never seen before or since*
Other gag and critic is, the bankers, people with high degrees and studies, wearing stupid
deer headbands or house costumes... ahhh the early 90's
I laughed when Kent said "Avoision”
Because of this episode, I want to go to the Cayman Islands 🇰🇾
Puts money in bank........Aaaand its gone
What do you mean it’s gone
Imagine paying thousands of Dollars just to not pay tax
I finally get the Tax Evasion/Avoision joke
Yep, we were kids at the time
I just got into an argument about whether avoision was a word. I lost in the moment. After some google research research I came out on top. Now I’m here. Thank you Simpsons.
2:14-2:16 The quietest FBI open up
3:50 Favorite Chief Wiggum moment
The taco restaurant is only big enough for comic book guy and the wheelbarrow
I think what Kent was trying to say is AVOIDANCE, which happens when actions are taken to minimize tax, while withing the letter of the law.
2:34 "Yo no a mi me gusta Krusty"
Bart unhealthy love and loyalty to Krusty no matter how much the clown doesn’t even remember who he is reminds me how Spongebob always remind on Mr. Krabs no matter how cheap and corrupt he is.
Avoison, thanks for the vocab update, now i can finally get a decent gmat score
Finished your MBA kya?
Comic guy had the funniest line.
Dang, Bart got so sad his eyes derped out!
Did Bart waited in the bank for 3 hours? 😂😂😂😂
>only 100 tacos for the Dr. Who Marathon
I dont even watch that show and I know this is destined to fail
Lol
Like each episode is an hour long. There’s the old series and the new series. Either way that’s over 20 to 30 seasons. About 10 to 12 episodes plus movies give it take on their runtime. So factor all that for 100 tacos.
It also reminds me of( Oooh loneliness of cheeseburgers are dangerous mix🤢😂🤣
I always enjoy it when The Simpsons show alternative locations on the show that you only see for that episode.
Aye, that's Handsome Pete. He dances for nickels.
Bart does WHAT to Krusty
Wow, Bart did something good for once in his so-called "life" , and it was entirely by accident!
‘The old John Hancock’..
Sorry but I counted the tacos in that wheelbarrow, and there's more than 100 there. I sure hope somebody was fired for that blunder
and may god have mercy on us all
Dancin Pete!
You cut out Handsome Pete!
Lol the Springfield bank is BS on their sign
HAHA I forgot all about this episode
It’s a classic
Even a check to Kwik E Mart and signed by Apu even when the store doesn't accept checks.
1:56 that looks like if homer and Smithers fused
Kingpin?
Call me back Ismael
What messed up is that it wasn’t Bart that reported Krusty it was the teller and then he blamed Bart for something he did
Did Bart wait in the bank for 3 hours? 😂😂😂😂
You cut out the part in DC where they get the reports. Done to avoid copyright dogs?
I was 5 when the Simpson's became a show. I had a purple lisa bookbag during kindergarten. I share their surname. This show is my childhood💙
same
God the Simpsons used to be so good
He may not be Yoshi, but he sure is Turnip Boy.
2.3%!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
It’s too hot today
This isn't the first time Bart ruined Krusty
Why do the bankers have antlers
"eyeyeyeyeyEY! I bought this popcorn fair and square!"
Since when there's that mountain there?
Bob Newhart everybody
Checking accounts arent for children... says after bringing child to bank to put money in and was there to see the account be made since he's 10...
Annnnd it's gone
Bart el sapo
Sneed
dont you mean sneed sneed?
Oh crap
How does it end???
Krusty dies. ^^
3:20 Simpsons predicted the Horizon Air Q400 hijacking
2.25%
What bank are they using
One in the 90s :(
It’s 2023 and inflation is so bad that banks offer over 4% in savings accounts across Australia
Ahoy there minnows
That Doctor Who joke didnt age well. Completely different demographic now
How was Krusty a tax cheat?
He was hiding taxable income in the Cayman Islands
3:52
Me after watching the galactus fortnite event today
Hahahahahahaha
If you love krusty why did you call it in lol
Are lisa fans creating a war with Bart fans?
Really hated that episode how is Bart responsible for the clowns illegal accounts. He didn't even ask anything wrong by asking a straight worthy question. I mean The clown is so cheap that he cashs a kid's check. So lazy that he uses his tax shelter as a signature. Maude was the wrong person to write off.
Are we expected to believe this is some sort of, magic illegal account? I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
You don't even use checks for for an illegal offshore account. What you do is you pay someone to take it there in cash
DANKMUS ❤
King pin?
I really thought this was an episode about saving
