| “ | Sideshow Bob: Yes, I admit it. I hated him. His hackneyed shenanigans robbed me of my dignity for years. I played the buffoon, while he squandered a fortune on his vulgar appetites! That's why I framed Krusty! I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for these meddling kids. Bart: Take him away boys. [Audience cheers] Sideshow Bob: Treat kids as equal! They're people too! They're smarter than you think! They were smart enough to catch ME! |

Dr. Robert Underdunk “Bob” Terwilliger, Jr., better known as Sideshow Bob, is the secondary antagonist of Fox's The Simpsons franchise.
Before becoming a meticulous, ruthless and vengeful criminal mastermind who is hellbent on his enemies responsible for his fall from grace, He started out as a former television personality on The Krusty the Clown Show, however this would change when he framed the show's titular star for a crime he didn't commit, unfortunately, this would lead into the suspicions and misfortune from Bart Simpson who would expose his plot in front of the public eye, this humiliation is the catalyst for his descent into madness and downright homicidal urges, continuing to serve as an attempted murderer and a criminal in subsequent appearances.
He is also the arch-nemesis of both Bart Simpson and Krusty the Clown, desiring to kill them both, the former for foiling his schemes and the latter for constantly abusing him in the show. He doesn't want to just go after Bart, he wants to go after the rest of the Simpson family and kill them, as well. In fact, also being the archenemy of Lisa Simpson, due to the parts that she often plays in the foiling of his schemes.
He is voiced by Kelsey Grammer, who also played Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2, Rothbart in Barbie of Swan Lake, Harold Attinger in Transformers: Age of Extinction and Hunter in Storks.
History[]
Sideshow Bob started out as the mute sidekick of children's show host Krusty the Clown. Bob abusively went through an act that involved being shot out of a cannon by Krusty himself, all the while being deemed hilarious to the child audience.
Finally having enough of the abuse, Sideshow Bob disguised himself as Krusty and robbed the Kwik-E-Mart and framed him, resulting in the clown being arrested and Bob being made the new host of his show. The only main character who witnesses the act in the Kwik-E-Mart was Homer Simpson.
However, Bob's victory was to be short lived. Not long after the robbery, Bob began shooting an interview on Krusty's condition with Bart Simpson, Homer's son. As Bob began a speech on Krusty's 'behalf', it was then that the pieces of the puzzle finally connected in Bart's brain, slowly figuring out that Sideshow Bob was behind the robbery all the time and that he framed Krusty for it. The young Simpson then exposed Bob to the authorities and had him arrested.
| “ | Sideshow Bob, friendly: Hello children. [suddenly serious and glares at Bart] Hello Bart. Bart Simpson: Eep. |
„ |
| ~ Sideshow Bob to Bart and the kids. |
This was not the end, however, as Sideshow Bob swore revenge on Bart as he was taken away, beginning what would be a decades-long run as the boy's archnemesis.

| “ | Sideshow Bob: ENOUGH! LIES, LIES, LIES! I DID IT! I DID IT ALL!!!! *Audience gasps* Sideshow Bob: There! Is that what you wanted you, smarmy little bastards!? Bart: We want the truth! Sideshow Bob: YOU want the truth!? You can't handle the truth! No truth handler you! Bahh-ha-ha-I deride your TRUTH handling abilities! Judge: Will you get to the point? Sideshow Bob: Yes! Only I could have executed such a masterpiece of electoral fraud, and I have the records to prove it! HERE JUST LOOK AT THESE! EACH one a work of Machiavellian art! Judge: [looks at Bob's books of fraud] ...Hm. But why? Bob: Because YOU need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly longed for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals and rule you like a king! All you liberals, hah! You may publicly heap and praise on Al Gore but privately, you THANK GOD, for a Ronald Reagan. You're just too afraid to admit it. That's why I did this, to PROTECT from yourselves!! Now if you don't mind I have a city to run. Judge: Bailiffs, place the mayor under arrest. Sideshow Bob: What?! Oh yes, all that stuff I did. |

Sideshow Bob is a complex character in the series. He was first introduced a sadistically obsessed psychopath with a pretty cunning and manipulative streak in his obsessing pursuits to kill Bart Simpson to satisfy his desire for revenge, yet he is often very smart and sophisticated in talk (even while he can get melodramatic when getting caught or challenged), and has shown redeeming qualities in the past such as deciding against killing Krusty when he realized that he regretted mistreating him (which led to his start to villainy). He also doesn't want to kill only Bart, he wants to kill the Simpson family. His main target besides Bart is his sister, Lisa (especially in more recent seasons when he has repeatedly targeted both children).
| “ | Sideshow Bob: Hello, Springfield, sorry to divert your attention from all the big noises and shiny things, but something's been troubling me lately... Television! Wouldn't our lives be so much richer if television were done away with? Moe: WHAT!? Dr. Hibbert: [scoffs] Surely he's not talking about VH1. Sideshow Bob: Why we could revive the lost arts of conversation, and scrimshaw! Thus I submit to you. We abolish television. Permanently. Homer: Go back to Massachusetts, Pinko! Sideshow Bob: Oh, and one more thing. I've, stolen a nuclear weapon, if you do not rid this city out of television within two hours, I will detonate it. Farewell. ...By the way I'm aware of the irony that appearing on TV in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out. |
„ |
| ~ Sideshow Bob threatening Springfield while ranting about his worldly views.
|
Sideshow Bob enjoys the finer things in life, including reading classical literature, and possesses a massive intellect. Likely due to his upbringing, he has a passion for theater, knowing Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore by heart, as well as many Shakespeare's works. In contrast to his love of the "higher pleasures," he despises television and other "low-class" things, which gives him a rather snobbish attitude. Ironically, in the time when he was a master criminal, he studied the uses of dynamite, which would theoretically be considered low-class. At times, he also seems to possess genuine desires to help humanity, as he explains that his motivation for rigging the mayoral election for Springfield was to "save them from themselves" (and based on the city's collective brain trust, he might not necessarily have been wrong).
In addition, when he briefly took over Krusty's show after framing the latter for armed robbery, Bob then attempted to insert more high culture into the show (i.e. reading to the child viewers from the classic novel The Man in the Iron Mask) in an attempt to encourage children's intellectual development, and his plot to threaten Springfield with a nuclear bomb unless they abolished television was done because he saw just what a negative, mind-numbing effect television can have on people and thus believed that forcing the people of Springfield to abolish it would be greatly beneficial to them in the long run.
Along those lines, in an interview with the "Star Wars Insider" magazine, a couple of the Simpsons producers were asked if there were any Springfield characters who disliked Star Wars. One of them initially said Sideshow Bob, but the other corrected him that Bob would very much appreciate that Star Wars contains themes on the importance of young people going out into the world and making something of themselves.
Sideshow Bob's evil laughter
| “ | That's right dear, enjoy your rest. The wedding was very tough on you, and the honeymoon is going to be... murder. HahahahahahahahahahahaHAAA!!!! | „ |
| ~ Sideshow Bob to a sleeping Selma. |
Beneath the cultured gentlemen, however, is still the heart of a cold-blooded killer who became more unhinged and even downright insane as time went on. Bob is a prejudicial man who is willing to hurt others to get what he wants. His primary motive seems to be revenge. His original crime, framing Krusty, was an attempt to get back at him for making a clumsy fool of him for years as his sidekick, and most of his other crimes have been more evil attempts pedicide by nearly killing Bart Simpson (and, at times, Lisa Simpson, as well) for foiling him. However, he has made several attempts at acquiring money and/or power not related to his vendetta against the two of them, such as when he tried to kill Selma Bouvier (though Selma is not well-liked, Bart still stopped him anyway, since he and Selma are still family), or even run a campaign for mayor as a Republican (if for no other reason than to make the Simpsons miserable).

Appearance[]
Bob is a tall, slim man who is easily recognized for his pale skin, abnormally large feet and his thick, red palm-tree shaped hair that springs out of his head. When not in jail and wearing the standard orange prison jumpsuit and brown shoes of Springfield Penitentiary inmates Bob usually has a rather casual but still smart sense of fashion. When he was Krusty's sideshow he was shirtless and wore a grass skirt and red clown shoes and as a mayor he wore a stone grey suit with a red tie and light blue shirt with brown shoes.
In other media[]
- Bob also has a brief cameo appearance in the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode as one of many of Bart's enemies (along with Apu, Nelson and the Springfield Bullies) that Stewie Griffin kidnaps and tortures.
- Sideshow Bob was the main antagonist on the ride at Universal Studios called The Simpsons Ride. While Krusty was looking for a family to choose to be the first one to try out his all-new, Upsy-Downsy-Spinsaroundsy-Teenoperatied Thrill Ride, Bob steps on Homer's foot, causing him to shout "D'OH!". This causes Krusty to choose the Simpson Family, and he also allows them to pick another group to come with them, which Bart chooses to be the riders. Sideshow Bob laughs evilly as the Simpson Family goes with Krusty, as he was planning to use Krusty's new thrill ride as part of his new plan to kill the Simpsons for foiling him. Bob knocks out Krusty when the Simpsons were in the vehicle boarding station and then takes over the park and tries to kill the family (and the riders) while they crash through different parts of Krustyland. He first tries sabotaging the track on the initial ride by destroying it with a wrecking ball. Then, he dons a giant panda costume and attempts to kill Bart and Lisa while they are on a Happy Little Elves ride. He then goes after Homer and Marge by sending them through a lazy river ride laced with "temptations" that could kill them if taken (which Homer falls for by taking a gigantic mug of beer, which causes a chain reaction of accidents that almost kill him and Marge). But at the end of the ride, Sideshow Bob gets crushed by the Simpsons' couch when the family fell down the death drop. It is unknown what happened to him after that, but it is probable that he was then caught and arrested for his villainous actions and sent back to jail.
- Bob is a supporting antagonist in The Simpsons Game where he works for Kang and Kodos.

Trivia[]
- The late James Earl Jones was originally cast as Bob before the producers chose to have Kelsey Grammer voice the character instead.
- Despite not appearing in The Simpsons Movie, Kelsey Grammer voiced Bob in a deleted scene that is still unreleased for unknown reasons. According to the deleted scene, Bob is among the angry townspeople heading towards the Simpson residence, assuming that they want to kill Bart for polluting the lake and having the town sealed in a dome by the EPA (led by Russ Cargill). However, Moe points out to Bob that the townspeople actually want to kill Homer instead as the latter is revealed to the true culprit, and that Bart has nothing to do with it. Upon hearing this, Bob leaves in disappointment.
- In The Simpsons Road Rage, there is a "Wanted" sign of Sideshow Bob in Evergreen Terrace. For some reason, he is named as "Sideshow" Bob Roberts, perhaps as a nod to the episode of the same name from season six.
- In "The Telltale Head", Sideshow Bob's earlier design sports an Afro and a big rounded nose.
- There is a notable recurring gag where Bob accidentally steps on a rake due to his big feet.
- Bob even view rakes as his archenemies aside from Bart.
- Despite having his plan of usurping Krusty's show foiled by Bart, his plot initially worked when he received positive reviews and a reward for best TV Personality given to him in prison.
- Starting with the Season 5 episode "Cape Feare", Bernard Herrmann's main piece from the musical score of the 1962 horror film Cape Fear and its 1991 remake becomes Sideshow Bob's leitmotif from then on.
