** Bob also averts this. When he gets put in the back of the police wagon, he gives an unhinged rant about how chilren are smarter than adults think as his eyes bulge weirdly. Much later episodes would establish that Bob's sanity deteriorated from his constant defeats, while this one could be an early sign.

* BaitAndSwitch: When Krusty's illiteracy is revealed during his trial, he wins sympathy by tearfully asking if it's a crime to be illiterate. Later, when the prosecutor cites his massive gambling debts as a motive for robbing the Kwik-E-Mart, he tries this again by tearfully asking if it's a crime to bet on sporting events. He fails because the judge points out that yes, it ''is'' a crime to bet on sports.

* MotiveRant: Bob gives one of these when the police are arresting him, saying Krusty's "hackneyed shenanigans robbed me of my dignity for years." Bob was forced to play the buffoon while Krusty wasted a fortune on his vulgar appetites.



* PaperThinDisguise: Intentionally invoked, but also subverted. Sideshow Bob's Krusty disguise looks [[FullBodyDisguise very uncanny]], making it look as though the clown's only using a flimsy mask to hide his identity.

** Krusty making a commercial to sell pork rinds, considering he would later be identified as being Jewish (though "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E6LikeFatherLikeClown Like Father Like Klown]]" revealed that Krusty was trying to escape his Jewish upbringing because his father disowned him). One later episode, "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E19TheFront The Front]]", has him inviting a Jewish butcher on air, and the guest chef says he got Krusty's mother's recipe for matzo brei, and Krusty angrily replies that he doesn't do the "Jewish stuff on the air".

** Homer and Apu don't recognize "Krusty" as he robs the Kwik-E-Mart, but Homer soon does while giving his description to the police. Compared to now, where every Springfieldian knows Krusty.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: Bart whacks Bob's foot with a wooden mallet to prove it was he who robbed the Kwik-E-Mart and not Krusty (who's "got little feet like all good-hearted people").
