PikachuSeptember 20, 2003

The Simpsons:Bart Gets Famous In this episode,Mrs.Krabappel's class takes a trip to the local box factory (The worst place ever)with Bart Simpson bored beyond belief.Then,he looks out the window and sees Channel 6 Studio.Home of Krusty the Clown. Somehow,Bart sneaks out and runs for the studio.The only problem is he leaves his red baseball cap on a conveyor belt and it goes through a box machine.When Homer comes looking for Bart and finds his hat on top of a box,he thinks his son is now a box. Over at Channel 6 Bart manages to steal a Danish pastry from Kent Brockman which causes him to refuse to report the news.Next,Bart meets Krusty whom he gives the danish to.Krusty makes Bart his assistant which excites him and Bart then goes on his show.After he accidentally destroys the set,he says,"I didn't do it" which stupidly enough becomes a hit.As time passes it then becomes a dud and Bart is tired out from doing Krusty's work.Then he quits to get his normal life back. Moral of the Story:Don't work for clowns and make sure your son doesn't get turned into a box.
