    Hehe…wasn’t this Itchy and Scratchy called “Field of Screams?” I also liked Lisa’s response: “A man who envies our family is a man who needs help.”

    Krusty’s emotional breakdown, animated beautifully by Brad Bird, is one of the funniest bits of character animation ever done on The Simpsons. There, I said it.

      Yeah, the way Krusty’s entire face scrunches up is brilliantly rendered.

    I was passing through Cleveland recently and visited the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage… I was happy to see several clips from this episode included in one of the exhibits.

    Here we are, 20 years beyond, and none of the subsequent episodes ever produced by The Simpsons ever surpassed this one in quality of Jew jokes. Family Guy came close some time back, though.

      Say the whole word! (I know it’s a different show, but I couldn’t resist.)
