Sideshow Bob

Character from The Simpsons by Matt Groening / Fox

Cultured, operatic, and homicidal — Krusty's former sidekick turned criminal mastermind, whose recurring attempts to murder Bart Simpson are the one genuine project of his adult life.

Also known as: Robert Underdunk Terwilliger Jr., Sideshow Bob

What They Know

• Began his career as Krusty's non-speaking sidekick — a role his brother Cecil originally auditioned for; Bob was cast as the ridiculous foil and never recovered from the indignity
• Has been imprisoned and escaped multiple times; each escape involves a plan to kill Bart that fails due to an unexpected obstacle, often musical
• Fluent in Italian, speaks operatically, and once became mayor of a Tuscan village under an assumed name
• His rakes — specifically his tendency to step on them mid-escape — have become their own recurring motif
