Altoona is a city in Pennsylvania.

History[edit]

Gil watches a marching band from Altoona on television.[1]

One of Krusty's jokes in his joke vault was about Joe McCarthy: "Eisenhower isn't worried about the Russians dropping the bomb; one false move and he'll drop Joe McCarthy on Moscow." The names can be swapped for effect—Eisenhower replaced with the current president, McCarthy with a more humorous name, and Moscow with a comically sounding city like Schenectady or Altoona.[2]
