What was the skit originally meant to be? Like how would it have played out if Bart hadn't fucked it up?

Someone thought of a good answer, but I didn't do it
Yeah I know that part but how would one lead to the other. Bart walks out, says "I am waiting for a bus" and then Krusty just pelts him for no reason?
Yes. That's comedy.
It's not funny.
It's Krusty.
You don't understand art.
It's like an Andy Kaufman bit. The humor comes from you expecting something else to happen, but it's literally just pies for 5 minutes.
Krusty: Well, well, look at the city slicker pulling up in his fancy German car.
Bart: This car was made in Guatemala.
Krusty: Well, pardon us, Mr. Gucci Loafers.
Bart: I bought these shoes from a hobo.
Krusty: Well, la-dee-da, Mr. Park Avenue Manicure.
Bart: I'm sorry I believe in good grooming.
I assume the joke is that Bart just stands there because he's waiting for his bus, while Krusty throws pies in increasingly silly ways. That sounds like the kind of skit you'd see on Bozo.
>I am waiting for a bus
A BUS?! HOW ABOUT PIES INSTEAD?!
Remember, Krusty's humour was aimed at kids
You're not funny.
>At children.
Ten seconds to half a minute would be enough for children. Indeed that would be pushing things.
Five minutes shows depth, sophisitcation and maturity to Krusty's comedy.
No it's just Krusty throwing pies for five minutes, getting sweatier and slower as his unfit body struggles to keep up the rate until the last pie is delievered, Krusty having to walk right up to Bart and limply toss it onto his pie encrusted mass.
See, a bus is a vehicle with a row of seats, and Krusty is hitting him with a row of pies. It's like a bus of pies, get it?
The last pie is thrown lying down, as Krusty is too out of breath to stand. It goes straight up and lands right in Krusty's face.
Get a load of this putz
I think you're giving Krusty too much credit.
>What do you mean we still have five minutes to fill? Ugh, just get me a bunch of pies.
thats actually pretty funny
Krusty bad clown
Tell bad joke
A Clockwork Orange
And then the bus arrives, running over Krusty.
I know Red Skelton and probably other old comedians had skits about waiting for a bus, so I figure Krusty wanted to do a knockoff of that super-old routine.
Also the Skelton skit was literally called "Wating For A Bus," so I get the feeling the writers had it in mind.
