Sideshow Bob's thing of being a classically-trained actor working far below his talent while wearing a dumb costume was funny, but his replacement Sideshow Mel carried on the joke until his entire character was just showing up to say something silly in an overly dramatic way while still in costume or at least having the silly hair.
Mel isn't as good as Bob. That's part of his characterization. Krusty even says on TV in an episode "that guy I hired after you left isn't fit to fill your clown shoes."

>He's basically Calculon written badly.
He's the opposite.
Calculon was a shitty actor with no skills that landed a starring role and thought he was fucking amazing.
Meanwhile Mel is a classically trained Cambridge thespitan who can only land side roles in kids shows where he gets pies thrown at him. youtube.com/watch?v=IisbF8ALKPY

I know that's the joke. The point is the running gag isn't funny anymore.

Almost as bad as people who still think "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" is a joke on its own, or do Borat impressions.
Benjamin Moore
