Short summary
Homer remarks that without his clown makeup on, Krusty looks just like him. This is because when Krusty was originally created, he and Homer were supposed to be the same person.
According to the couch gag The Simpsons have aired a total of 636 episodes. Lisa quipped that the count is "four episodes early".
The clown which came out of the storm drain, seems to be modeled on Pennywise, a character from It (1990), which was based on a book by Stephen King of the same name.
The episode seems to be satirizing the Great Clown Scare of 2016, where sightings of Clowns in intimidating attire and poses were spotted across the United States.
Bart wrote on the chalkboard "This is the last episode" followed by the words "April Fool's". The episode was aired on April First in the United States, otherwise known as "April Fool's Day".
The term Coulrophobia is defined as the irrational fear of clowns.
The paintings in Krusty's home are done in the style of Piet Mondrian.
The ghosts that were beside Krusty and his father were William Shakespeare and Arthur Miller. Arthur Miller wrote the play "Death of the Salesman".
Jon Lovitz reprises his role as Llewelyn Sinclair, the theatrical director who first appeared in the episode "A Streetcar Named Marge," directing a musical version of 'A Streetcar Named Desire.' Here he is directing a new version of another famous American play, 'Death of a Salesman.'
The billboard outside the school advertises "Mayor Quimby's Easter Egg Hunt. Bunnies supplied by President Trump."
The episode title "Fears of a Clown" is a variation of the song name "Tears of a Clown".
Third time Krusty is seen out of makeup.
