  Sideshow Bob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sideshow Bob declares that he has been reformed by Selma's love, and eventually proposes to and marries her (all to the objection of Bart, who still believes Sideshow Bob is pure evil).
Sideshow Bob warns everybody that Bart has a bomb, prompting Krusty's monkey to swoop in and throw the bomb away (the only people hurt are the network executives, whose body parts merge into a T-1000 like monster).
Sideshow Bob and Krusty finally resolve their differences, but Sideshow Bob is still scheduled to be decapitated for his crimes by Chief Wiggum (although the show cuts to the credits before we see the impact).

 Sideshow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sideshow by the Seashore sponsored by Coney Island USA in Brooklyn, NY is perhaps the oldest.
Sideshows of old had a hierarchy of performers in terms of prestige, with "Born Freaks", people with congenital physical peculiarities, at the top, followed by "Made Freaks" such as tattooed men and women, and "Working Acts" such as sword swallowers and fire eaters.
Contrary to contemporary perceptions, which holds the term freak show to be pejorative, many of the "Born Freaks" were not looked down upon by their fellow performers, and many were in fact the owners and operators of the shows.

 Sideshow! Carnival Oddities and Illusions; Investigative Files (Skeptical Briefs December 1999)
A major type of sideshow, often popularly called a "freak show," since human oddities were usually among the exhibits, was known to insider "carnys" as a "ten-in-one." As its name indicated, it consisted of a number of acts, often arrayed along a platform, with the crowd moving from one to the other in sequence.
Since such shows were typically continuous, if a spectator entered the tent during, say, the sword swallower's performance, he or she would be led by the "lecturer" through the remaining nine (approximately) acts or features-magician, fat lady, giant, etc.-and when the sword swallower was on again, that was the signal to exit the show.
Although the sideshow banner depicted a youth with a frog's hindquarters, in actuality "Hoppy" was a grey-bearded man in a wheelchair, having spindly limbs and a distended stomach.
