Cecil Underdunk Terwilliger is the younger brother of Robert Underdunk Terwilliger. When he was young, Cecil was ignored repeatedly by his parents, and instead compared to Bob, similar to the rest of his life.
Cecil's dream since a child was to become Krusty the Clown's sidekick on The Krusty the Clown Show. Cecil spent, according to Bob, "four years at clown college", to which Cecil replies, "I'd thank you not to refer to Princeton that way". Krusty and the producers of his show rejected Cecil during his audition. Cecil offered to perform his prepared "pie-in-the-face take" before he was ushered off-stage, but this did not change the producers' minds as Cecil lacked the dignity necessary to pull the bit off. It was then that Krusty spotted Robert, standing to the side in a fine suit and looking like he genuinely didn't want to be there. Krusty ordered a pie-in-the-face for him, the resulting impact knocking off Robert's top hat and causing his hair to spring up from under it, Krusty hired Robert as his sidekick on the spot.
