Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Who’s up for another prize post? Yea, me either…but they still must be done! Otherwise, what else would I refer people back to when they ask what something does 6 months from now? Act 1 pf the 2020 Christmas event consists of 2 new decorations, 1 group, 1 building, and one new character.
So we’ve reached the point where we break down the character on the Act 1 prize track, Krusty Claus. So let’s take a look…
Krusty Claus is a brand new character for Springfield (NOT a costume for Krusty, FULL Character) and part of the Clash of Creeds: Christmas Royale Character Collection:

Krusty Claus come with a full questline, here’s a look at that questline:
The Lap of Luxury Pt. 1
Krusty Claus starts
Krusty Claus: Alright, let’s take a look at the old Krusty Christmas mailbag. *reading* “Dear, Krusty Claus. I want a new kitten because my old one aged-out into a cat. Ick!” *reading* “And I want the new video game Bonestorm 7: Die, Mom, Die!” *reading* “And the new Slay Station 5 to play it on. The processor has been optimized for death throes and blood-flecked final coughs.” *reading* “Bring it to me or go to Hell! Kidding. But kind of not.” Kids these days are so entitled. Why doesn’t anybody ever ask what Krusty Claus wants?
Elf Bart: The elves finished knocking-off the Futurama merch and the robots finished knocking-off the Enchanted crap — that plan worked like a charm, by the way. Is there anything else you want?
Krusty Claus: Exactly! Why doesn’t anybody ever ask me that?
Elf Bart: I just did.
Krusty Claus: You know what I mean.
Make Krusty Claus Go Treat Himself- 4hrs
Make Elf Bart Work Through the Toy Backlog- 6hrs
Elf Lisa: Where’s Krusty Claus? I need to tell him we’re behind on our toy production.
Elf Bart: He said something about “treating himself” and stormed off. What’s the problem?
Elf Lisa: We modernized “the list” to take account of goodness fluidity and now we have to make presents for the whole NNBN community — naughty, nice, both, neither.
Elf Bart: That’s cool. I have always been a little nice-curious. If we’re going to be ready by C-Day, we need less talking and more mallet-tapping.
Elf Lisa: I also got sucked into a rebranding campaign designed to offset unconscious White Christmas privilege. Important work, but a bit of a rabbit hole.
The Lap of Luxury Pt. 2
Krusty Claus starts
Krusty Claus: Alright. Something just for me. There’s gotta be something good here at this mall.
Gil: Vape flavors! Get your vape flavors here!
Akira: Your one-stop shop for cheap drones!
Krusty Claus: Ugh. Is this what malls have come to?
Baby Moe: Santa? Can — can I — can I tell you my Christmas list? Pweaaaasse?
Krusty Claus: Uh…I’m not Santa Claus, kid. I’m Krusty Claus. I only handle the zip codes outside of Santa’s sled range. Also it’s my day off.
Baby Moe: *cries*
Krusty Claus: Ah, come on. Don’t do me like that.
Baby Gerald: *ominous glare*
Mrs Samson: My baby is glaring ominously because he wants to give you his Christmas wish list.
Krusty Claus: Look, I’m just here for like a… *looks around* …a phone case, or maybe a calendar.
Baby Gerald: *ominous glare*
Mrs Samson: I’ll pay you two hundred dollars.
Krusty Claus: Two hundred bucks?! That would buy a lot of calendars. Hop on up here, baby. Tell Krusty Claus all your hopes and dreams.
Make Krusty Claus Abandon His Principles- 4hrs
Krusty Claus: Man, this mall Santa biz is quite a racket. Way more lucrative than building millions of free toys and selling mail-order reindeer steaks.
Elf Bart: You called me, Boss?
Krusty Claus: Elf Bart, we’ve got some monetizing to do. Look at this line of sheep waiting to be fleeced!
Elf Bart: How about a Meaning-of-Christmas VIP Pass? For a hundred bucks, the last person in line shall be first and the first shall be last.
Krusty Claus: What if more than one person bites?
Elf Bart: We keep switching as long as they keep paying.
Krusty Claus: Love it. You truly are a good shepherd!
The Lap of Luxury Pt. 3
Krusty Claus starts
Santa Claus: Hmm. This does appear to be the right place, but it looks like there is already another Santa taking wishes.
Krusty Claus: Look, kid. Enough with the details. Just point to a picture in this catalog and I’ll send your parents an e-mail with a link to buy it. Kapeesh?
Santa Claus: Excuse me, I’m here to run Santa’s Wish Center. Is…is this the right place?
Krusty Claus: Oh, uh…right. Yeah, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but uh…you’ve been replaced this year.
Santa Claus: *gasp* Is this because I used the A word?
Krusty Claus: The A-word?
Santa Claus: Amazon. I told some kid they could get better prices online.
Krusty Claus: You use Amazon?
Santa Claus: It’s just too convenient! I wonder how they are able to deliver presents all over the world in a single night.
Krusty Claus: I thought YOU could do that.
Santa Claus: Nah. We use a large unpaid local seasonal workforce to make it seem that way. We call them parents. I need this job to pay my Amazon bill. I’m going to talk to the manager and sort this out.
Make Santa Claus Get This Sorted- 4hrs
Make Krusty Claus Take a Smoke Break- 4hrs
Squeaky Voice Teen: I told you, you haven’t been replaced.
Santa Claus: So then who’s out there taking my wishes from kids?
Squeaky Voice Teen: I don’t know, but he’s really ripping through those lines quick. I hate to shut him down. What if you just set up shop by the other exit and we’ll have two mall Santas this year?
Santa Claus: By the supermarket? What kind of mall has a grocery store for an anchor store?
Squeaky Voice Teen: A failing one. Any other questions?
The Lap of Luxury Pt. 4
Krusty Claus starts
Krusty Claus: Alright, next! Get on up here.
Nelson: *jumps onto Krusty Claus’ lap*
Krusty Claus: Oof, aren’t you a little old to be asking Santa for things, kid?
Nelson: Why, yes I am. But then again, you’re not Santa. *squints* Are you?
Krusty Claus: Hey, hey keep your voice down. I got elf mouths to feed. What do you want?
Nelson: *whispers into Krusty Claus’ ear*
Krusty Claus: Are you kidding me?! Do you know how much those cost?
Nelson: Hey everybody! This guy’s not the real—
Krusty Claus: OKAY, okay. Jeez, kid. Just shut your mouth, alright? I’ll have it to you by the end of the day.
Make Krusty Claus Pull Some Strings- 2hrs
Make Nelson Wait With Bated Breath- 2hrs
Kearney: Wooaahhh. That…is…amazing.

Dolph: AWESOME! And Santa Claus just gave it to you?
Nelson: You gotta know how to ask.
The Lap of Luxury Pt. 5
Krusty Claus starts
Santa Claus: Right there, Chief! Arrest him!
Wiggum: Alright, you’re coming with me. Cuff him, boys.
Jimbo: Hey, get your sticky donut hands off me, old man!
Santa Claus: No, not him! The Santa impersonator!
Wiggum: But this kid’s got a flamethrower.
Elf Bart: Quick boss, duck out the back. I’ll distract ’em.
Make Krusty Claus Duck Out the Back- 1hr
Make Elf Bart Distract the Cops- 1hr
Make Jimbo Try Out His New Flamethrower- 1hr
Krusty Claus: It’s good to be back at Claus Co. But I can’t imagine how far behind we are now on Christmas.
Kirkedemious VanHouten: If we train a thousand penguins to make toys and put them on the line we could get be back on schedule in no time.
Elf Lisa: You do realize that there are no penguins at the North Pole? They only live in Antarctica.
Kirkedemious VanHouten: That’s not fair! What are they, some kind of a trick-question animal? No wonder they look stupid!

Thoughts on Krusty Claus? Questline? Tasks? Event? Sound off below.
I don’t understand why they choose to make this a full character, instead of a skin for Krusty, especially since Elf Bart is a skin for Bart. OTOH, I guess Krusty has fewer in town than several other characters do…
Krusty actually has more outfits than the average Springfielder who isn’t from the immediate Simpson family. I have Tuxedo Krusty, Living Fox Krusty, Opera Krusty. I like getting fully playable, separate characters instead of outfits for the same 5-10 Springfielders over and over 🙂
I got the daily task of “Make Springfielders make poor holiday decisions” and when I try to put Bart on that the game hangs. I have to force close and restart it every time. Anyone else have this happen?
I think it’s a joint task with Milhouse. You need to have him free too or it glitches when you try to start it.
I’ve had a similar thing happen with a difference task. Just don’t send that person on the task but send the others and the glitch goes away
I had that happen with Marge trying to fly the Greyhound sleigh. I just hit the back button on my phone, and it closed the window so I didn’t have to force close the game.
Same??? Oh well. Tasks finished, so on to the next glitch…
Think it would be kool to have mrs Sampson added to the game in the new year 💞
Like this especially his 8 hour Christmas wishes task, i wonder why Santa doesn’t have a task like this or a sleigh task.
Krusty Claus – I thanked EA because this is like getting a Voiced Premium Character for free (and it’s the most Christmas-y Event Prize so far!) 😊👍🏻
❤️ that Visual Character Task “Hear Christmas Wishes” with the Mall Santa Wish Centre (Krusty Claus sitting on this with kids getting on and off his lap – this is hilarious and also it’s about as Christmas-y as we got in Act 1!) Great Questline! 😅
Bring on Act 2! Stay Festive and safe Tappers! 🎄⛄❄️
I for one welcome the Krustmas event and our alien overlords. I am a bit disappointed that Krusty Santy only rasps 2 things “I beat my own reindeer here” and “this ain’t a sustainable business model”. I wish there would be elf costumes for other kids than Bart and Lisa to be unlocked in this event. And a raspy voiced Princess Penelope in a Xmas outfit as well.
