why didn't they call sneed?
You can't spell "obsequious" without "I-O-U." No.212400594 >>212403142

are you being sarcastic or is there some underlying meaning I am totally missing

The joke is that you think she called every name in the phone book (A-Z) but she only called two people. The joke kind of needs the editing transition to show that time has passed between the first and second call, which this still image version doesn’t have

The audience is initially led to believe that Patty and Selma had telephoned every single resident of Springfield, starting with A. Aaronson at the beginning of the phonebook and finishing with Mr. Zukowski at the end of the phonebook. However, it is quickly revealed that the audience was initially misled, as it turns out that Patty and Selma had only telephoned two residents rather than calling the whole town.

Would you like to discuss the Four Krustys next?

Simpsons did this a lot with setting you up for obvious punchlines before delivering a swerve. Like the joke where Bart explains the difference between Radioactive Man and Radiation Dude. The obvious line being, "... while Radiation Dude has a similar but lamer catchphrase 'up and at them'." Which instead becomes, "... a similar but lamer catchphrase 'up and let's go'."

Even the clip is a little clunky. Funny joke, but those names kinda throw off the pacing. But logically those basically would be the names. Clever joke!

This one is always so highly rated but I never really found it that great. Do you have to be American to appreciate it?

It's amazing how clever this joke is compared to the revival episodes that think they're clever.

I had a friend with two fat flirty aunts. I used to have dreams of being dominated by them. Good times.

It's funny as long as you don't think about it too hard because surely it should be expected to be able to land on other planets with a higher air pressure
