Fun Fact: Homer and Krusty were originally intended to be the same person. it was meant to be an ironic twist about Bart Simpson in that he admires Krusty but hates his Deadbeat father Homer, when in fact they are the same person. Matt Groening never went through with it but parts of the original twist can still be seen in the fact Homer & Krusty share similar designs and even the same body shape.

I love the touch where he gave Marge her original rabbit design ears

Relaxing music doesn’t make me feel so “relaxed” anymore

So Krusty played as De Niro in Taxi Driver, and De Niro played the host that Krusty shot in the Joker.

The fact that joker is anxiously tapping his feet on the ground after he shoots murray is a nice detail added

This whole series is creepy and weird as hell. And for that.... I love it.

That taxi driver reference was on point 👌

If you're confused here's the lowdown:

Thanks to the flashback we can see that this is not Krusty. It's Homer. Bunny Marge told him about the massacre that happened in her timeline. It turns out that LISA is behind it. Maybe she wanted the show to herself, maybe there was millions in insurance money if the family died. Let's not forget that Lisa survived unscathed from the attackers even though she was in their grasp. She was slammed to the floor but nothing else. Lisa was shot by Wiggum.

Lisa is here to plot, plan and pay for the massacre. That's why there is money strewn all over the room. Homer, dressed as Krusty has gone to stop the whole thing from happening. Bunny Marge found this out with Ned's help and she told Homer exactly where and when the deal goes down. When Homer had killed Lisa's accomplices she uses the toaster Bunny Marge had brought back to get away. Somehow she found it and figured out how to use it. Being a little girl planning a massacre she knew there might be trouble so Lisa had the toaster with her for a quick getaway. When she saw Homer she panicked and got away before he could plead with her to stop.

After uncovering the plot and foiling it, Homer, as Krusty went on the Kent Brockman show to explain what went down when he took out the criminal gang. Brockman was dismissive of Homers plight and mocked him. After all of the weird stuff he had gone through he snapped and killed Brockman. It seems like Springfield doesn't know that this is actually Homer (Springfield is full of stupidity) so I'm hoping that in the ruckus following the shooting Homer took off the Krusty disguise and slipped out the back.

This is my best guess but it seems to fit everything. Let me know what you think!

Edit: When we first see Lisa in this episode she is with the rich Texan. He is holding a suitcase. This is the money Lisa has gathered to pay for the massacre. The money is dropped by the Texan when he hears gunshots. Lisa is up to her eyeballs in this massacre.

I like this! He does "Joker" and throws in a little "Taxi Driver", even gave Marge the bunny ears that are supposed to be under her hair!

"Inspired" by 19822andy, he's the only one allowed to interpret these videos. Otherwise you're copying him and he'll spam your comment section 😂. He's on patrol of these comments because he has nothing else better going on. He's also been changing his comment constantly through editing. If I read his revised comment five months ago I would've just commented my thoughts but it was shit so I made this one laying out the fundamentals of the story on what we see and not what we think we see. Anywho he'll steal your shit then accuse you of stealing his shit. Oh well, youtube comment section is shit and everyone is full of it.

So episode 1 showed how the family was murdered. Episode 2 explained how Flanders stole the sword from a bank with a group of thugs. One being Chief Wiggum who was undercover and killed Flanders accomplices. Episode 3 showed that Marge was still alive and Flanders was helping her through grief. He gave her a sword which she used to kill off a bunch of characters to acquire a toaster time machine. Marge used the time machine and went back in the past. The time machine either gave her a consequence which was bunny ears or it restored everything but her hair which hid the ears.

Part 4 is super ambiguous. These are my thoughts. Marge went back in time and told Homer what happened. As they are together Homer expresses to Marge that he loves somebody else. I have no clue to who or what that somebody else is. I have no idea what the deal is with the Shortline show either. I do believe it is heavily being implied that Lisa was making a deal at Moe's which Homer who was dressed as Krusty was trying to stop. I do believe that Lisa was either buying the toaster since it was there or she was hiring the thugs that killed her family. Regardless I think Lisa is the antagonist since she was dealing with sketchy people and Homer was determined to stop the deal.

Really like how you captured the pain in Krusty's (Homer's) face at 1:21. The pursing of the lips is a really nice touch. There's something quite inspired about the decision to convey these movies using beloved characters and with such a unique form of animation whilst also telling your own story with them. I know your first Simpsons vid was a "You're Next" reference, but I reckon it was largely made to get people's hearts racing. The little, simple ideas transforming into these wider narratives that are open to interpretation is great.

I like the Taxi Driver and Joker mix, wasn’t expecting it.

I used to think these were horrifying, but they're beautiful, in a twisted scary way its beautiful.
