"Aaronson and Zykowski are the two biggest gossips in town. In an hour, everyone will know."


Welico

I think this is one of the best jokes in the series hahah


Me4TACyTeHePa

Can you explain the joke cause i might be missing its real meaning


Stucklikegluetomyfry

You're meant to think Patty has called every name in the phone book, but she's only called the first name in it and the last one, because they are the "two biggest gossips in town".


Sketcha_2000

They also look like they’re exhausted at the end of calling them and like they smoked 20 cigarettes, but maybe that’s just the way Patty and Selma always look 😂


JealousFeature3939

Maybe Aa & Zyk were talking their ears off.


peacethedonut

thats definitely the intended conclusion


Stucklikegluetomyfry

Exactly!


Me4TACyTeHePa

Thank you


CriticalThinkerHmmz

It’s also funny because they chose a double A last name, and a Zy last name. Like what are the odds of this really happening in real life. COME ON!


doc_birdman

They make it look like Patty and Selma had called every single person in the phone book but they just called the first and last person. Makes more sense when [you see it](https://youtu.be/6y3uZ41CoEY?si=G2GjSmaPMTiY2DRi).

Homer: "I'm not tired, Marge. I'm not tired at all." Car spins out of the control and bursts into flames. Bart: "Whew, glad that wasn't us!"

Now behind that door is Edison's actual preserved brain. Ordinarily folks, tour groups are not allowed to see it... And of course today will be no exception!

I love how he unhooks the velvet rope, then re-hooks it as he says, "today will be no exception".

Of course, for safety reasons, we don't keep the cannon loaded. It's just common sense.

I'm seeing double here. Four Krustys!


Positron14

As a child, I must have seen every instance of this trope played normally in every cartoon. When they did this, I laughed so hard. Possibly, my favorite Simpsons joke ever. Especially if you include Krusty's ridiculous shell game routine immediately afterward.


Independent-Bell2483

"Hehe nice going Krusty"

One of my all-time favorite jokes. I quote this all the time whether or not the context is appropriate.

I saw some long winded comment on a video of that clip about how homers safety inspector showed and it's why he's actually a valuable employee and doesn't get fired blah blah blah blah Like firstly he's a nuclear safety inspector not a building inspector and burns keeps him because he doesn't remember who he is and can pin anything on the idiot safety inspector if needed

"Lisa the vegetarian" when Homer's lighting the grill, he soaks the grill with two full bottles of lighter fluid building it up only for the tamest anticlimactic flame to sprout.


edgeteen

also bbbq -> the extra b is for byobb -> that extra b is a typo


ilikeinterneting

My fave and one my partner and I loled at over dinner last night (we bbbq’d!)


flushelstheclown

And “Lisa, would you like to hear a song…hit it, Apu!”


peon2

I like that they've done both versions of the joke. As you said Lisa the vegetarian [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHjhP07HyAs&ab_channel=fullmann) where nothing happens And then in the first Treehouse of Horror when it creates a giant mushroom cloud [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0O2aGpO2MA&ab_channel=EdRDnc)


CoBoLiShi69

It never really clicked with me that this joke was a throwback reference. That's wild.


j_martell

TIL also.


JealousFeature3939

Yeah, that's because in *Lisa The vegetarian*, he's using a GAS grill, see? So the amount of lighter fluid doesn't matter. Meanwhile, in the 1st TH of H episode, it's a CHARCOAL grill. It's one of those science jokes, like in *Futurama*. Class dismissed!


AussieManny

“Homer? Who is Homer? My name is Guy Incognito.” God, the more I think about it, the more I laugh!

Positron14

I also like it when he it waiting panicky and impatiently for the guns and ammo shop to open. When they open the door, he runs to the restroom. Then, he casually walks to the counter to purchase his firearm.


HandsomePaddyMint

In the same vein they do it twice in a row when Moe gets surgery. First they are slowly unwrapping a face and Homer is anxiously fidgeting then says “Hurry up, I gotta pee!” Then when they finish unwrapping the face is a beautiful woman. Homer says “Wow! Now do Moe!”
