Description
Yuk-ingham Palace sells novelties, masks, disguises, and all kinds of supplies for playing practical jokes. In keeping with the store's humorous nature, when customers ring the doorbell they are sprayed in the face with seltzer and the door handle punches them in the gut.
History
Bart and Milhouse visited the store when they had a day off from school due to teachers' conferences. Milhouse tried out a pair of X-ray specs and was disappointed to see no change in the clerk's clothes. When the clerk said he was wearing a lead shirt, Milhouse eagerly bought three pairs. Bart bought novelty disguise products to apply to his face: a colorful beak, screws for his neck, huge teeth and a faucet for his forehead.[1]
Behind the Laughter
- The store's name is a pun on Buckingham Palace, the primary residence of the British monarch.
