Correction: That's what clocks do, even in cartoons. The changes in time make perfect sense.

Correction: Not at all clear if this is true, the monkey may simply have its tail between its legs.

Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6

Corrected entry: During this episode, Krusty is seen looking at the Simpsons videos and some Jewish magazines. Krusty can obviously understand what they are saying (as he seems eager to watch a video he finds at the Simpsons house and he gets very upset looking at a Jewish father/son magazine). However, he is supposed to be illiterate, reinforced by the fact that Krusty couldn't read Bart's letter early in the same episode.

Correction: Illiterate doesn't mean he can't recognise a video from the picture on The Front. As for the magazine, the picture on The Front is of a Jewish father and son and would be enough to provoke Krusty's reaction.

Correction: "Go wait in the car" is a common form of dismissal in the film/t.v. industry - it means "sod off", words to that effect. No car is involved.

Correction: His father didn't know that it was his son until the other Rabbi sprayed him with the seltzer, washing off Krusty's makeup.

Like Father, Like Klown - S3-E6

Corrected entry: When Krusty does his performance in front of Rabbis, when Krusty's father starts talking to another Rabbi, you can see a third Rabbi at another table in the background. In the next two shots this rabbi has vanished. (00:09:20)

Yoshi

Correction: Between the two shots there is a shot of Krusty. In this shot there is enough time for the rabbi to get up.

OL1V3R666

Correction: No, the scene where he is wearing his coat is completely different from when he is leaving the house. He may have gone home in between.

tw_stuart

Correction: No, the shot changes from a wide look at the whole cast to one of the camera screen which has zoomed in on Krusty so he's the only one we can see.

tw_stuart

Correction: Look closely, it's always five both in the wide and the close up shots.

tw_stuart

Correction: It was moved to give Krusty space for his unicycle act and then put back.

tw_stuart

Correction: This is normal during dinner and there was plenty of time during Krusty's story when we couldn't see the table for things to be moved.

tw_stuart

Correction: We see Bart clear a number of things from the table and then the angle changes to one where we can no longer see what's on it, so no mistake.

tw_stuart

Correction: There was a few minutes between these two scenes and it would have taken only a few seconds for Krusty to take it off.

Correction: Marge could have woken her up to see off their guest.
