Right, but Yoric was Hamlet's childhood jester. Krusty (and gang) played the part of the travelling minstrals who perform the play to Hamlet's instructions. Yoric was long since dead by then.
it would've been funny if they did the Yoric scene with Sideshow Bob's skull!
Speaking of which, anyone think the writers gave us a hint Sideshow Bob managed to dodge his guillotining? Only one person would write that message on that letter in blood.....
I thought about that too, but at the end of the last Sideshow Bob episode, everything was all wrapped up in a neat little package... No really, I mean that. Sorry if it sounded sarcastic.
I don't know how they would go about writing another reason why Bob wants to kill Bart, Lisa, Krusty, Cecil or Selma...
maybe they should write one where sideshow bob gets the possibility of parole for good behavior for starting a religous puppet show with ned flanders and rev. lovejoy. bob has one chance to prove to the community he's (once again) no longer a menace by giving a free show at his parole hearing, which the simpsons take maggie to see, but because of homer's fear of sock puppets (which are the kind bob uses) he's terrified and rallies the crowd to think bob is still a hideous monster. thus bob wants to kill homer this time and, um, well, i can't think of a way to finish that sentence. but that could be an idea.
ok, i withdraw my idea [pulling out a candybar and eating sheepishly]
