Bart's prank calls
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.
Sorry, f***ed this pagge up PLEEEEES some-one get it back! And quick!
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!"
- "I'm gonna chop you into little pieces and make you into a Rubik's Cube which I will never solve!"[1]
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.[2]
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."[3]
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.[4]
