File:PhonePrankInProgress.jpg
One of Bart's prank calls in progress.
Moe is the frequent target of Bart's prank phone calls. Usually Bart calls Moe's Tavern and asks for an individual by his or her name. Unbeknownst to Moe, the name is a pun or double entendre, which Bart hides by saying the last name first when he tells Moe who he's calling for. The joke is revealed when Moe calls the person's name aloud, saying their first name (or initials) first, and the last name last.
Sometimes Bart plays the pranks by methods other than over the phone, but the general idea is the same.
Calls
| Name | Pun | Notes |
| Amanda Hugginkiss | A man to hug and kiss.[1] |
Bart played the prank in order to ruin Jimbo Jones's date with Laura Powers. Bart then told Moe Jimbo's name and address, and Moe ran to the house and burst in brandishing a knife, effectively ending the date. |
| Ivana Tinkle | I wanna tinkle.[1] | Laura Powers actually made this prank call, with help from Bart. |
| Hugh Jass | Huge ass.[2] | Backfired, because there really was a person in the bar named Hugh Jass. |
| Anita Bath | I need a bath.[3] | Roll-call prank. Moe was substitute-teaching in Bart's class. Bart added the prank names to the list of students in the class, and when Moe called the roll, the effect was the same as when he calls out the names in the bar. |
| Maya Buttreeks | My butt reeks.[3] | Another roll-call prank, as above. |
| I.P. Freely | I pee freely.[4] | This prank was later reused by drunken fraternity boys in a prank call to Kent Brockman about a fight in Springfield involving a giant lizard. Brockman didn't realize he'd been had until he said the caller's name on the air. |
| Jacques Strap | Jockstrap.[5] | |

| Oliver Klozoff | All of her clothes off.[6] | |
| Seymour Butz | See more butts.[7] | |

| Mike Rotch | My crotch.[9] | |
| Bea O'Problem | B. O. problem.[10] | In this context, "B.O." is short for "body odor". |
| Haywood U. Cuddleme | Hey, would you cuddle me?[11] | The Simpsons were in a reality show where they were living with 19th-century technology, so Bart played the prank via telegraph (sending it in Morse code). |
| N/A | I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.[12] | The prank took place during a Treehouse of Horror story where Bart had vast mind powers and could make everyone do whatever he wanted -- including, in Moe's case, going along with a blindingly obvious prank call. |
| Eura Snotball | You're a snotball.[13] | Homer actually attempted this prank, but it backfired when Moe repeated the name while he was still on the phone. |
| Ollie Tabooger | I'll eat a booger.[14] | Moe was away and Homer was tending the bar. Bart tried to prank Homer with this call. It backfired, however, when Homer immediately recognized the call as a prank and didn't understand what he was supposed to do. |
| Ahmed Adoudi | I made a doodie.[15] | Jack Bauer was the victim of this prank. |
| Maya Normousbutt | My enormous butt.[16] | Bart played this prank while calling Hawaii on a stolen cell phone. |

| Olav Myfriendsaregay | All of my friends are gay.[16] | Bart played this prank while calling Sweden on a stolen cell phone. |
| Yuri Nator | Urinator.[17] | Not actually a prank call. Fat Tony was looking for his Russian associate Yuri and called Moe's to see if Yuri was in the bar. Then, to his bewilderment, Tony said, Moe started "lecturing me like I was a ten-year-old kid." |
Aftermath
When Moe realizes that it's actually a prank, he gets mad and gives the caller threats like:
- "It's you, isn't it, you cowardly little runt. When I get a hold of you, I'm gonna gut you like a fish and drink your blood!"
- "I'll shove a sausage down your throat and stick starving dogs in your butt!"
- "Listen to me, you, when I catch you, I'm gonna pull out your eyes and shove 'em down your pants so you can watch me kick the crap out of you, okay, then I'm gonna use your tongue to paint my boat!"
- "When I get a hold of you, I'm gonna use your head for a bucket and paint my house with your brains!"
- "Listen to me, you little scum sucking pus bucket, when I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pull out your eyes with a cork screw!"
- "You rotten little punk! If I ever get a hold of you, I'll stick my teeth into your cheek and rip your face off!"
On one occasion, Bart played a phone prank from his house, and right after Moe realized the call was a prank, Marge happened to pick up the phone and got an earful of Moe's threat. Bewildered by the harsh language that came over the phone as soon as she picked up the handset, Marge concluded that it must have been a crossed line[6].
Homer attempted to phone-prank Moe and it backfired, due to Moe repeating the name ("Eura Snotball") back to Homer. Homer, in typical fashion, interpreted it as an insult and threatened Moe: "If I find out who this is, I'll stick an American flag up your butt, and mail you to Iran."[13]
Another time when Bart had just finished a prank call, Marge told him to go to Moe's and pick up Homer. Moe didn't recognize Bart as the phone prankster, but he did think that Bart's voice sounded familiar.[10]
