Krusty wears respectable white clown makeup, not that petty orange bronzer. Krusty also grifts with real clown humor with his products that makes people laugh and not the kind of Sick-makes-you barf grifting of cheap bibles and intangible NFTs. Krusty is way younger and nowhere near as crazy.

Even Krusty's dad eventually loved him.

Krusty also sometimes admits he's wrong and apologizes. He goes back to his old ways soon enough, but it's a cartoon.
