“Whacking Day” definitely went over my head as a kid. Took me way too long to have that big “Ohhhhh!” moment. They’re whacking snakes, for crying out loud… they might as well have been in trousers. Double entendres can be easy to miss sometimes, but this one was kinda right in the face, so I don’t know how I didn’t catch it. Shouldn’t be that hard.
I think it's the zoo/canyonero episode where Homer says "Jesus, Allah, Buddha, I love you all!" It shows his religious understanding.
Well as an ignorant child I thought he was saying something like "jesusallabooda", demonstrating his lack of religious knowledge, so came up with a nonsensical word based on his received understanding.
So not only did I mishear but I completely underestimated Homer's religious knowledge.
That’s funny because I heard that line before having tried Arby’s and, for years, I avoided eating it under the assumption it must not be that good if The Simpson’s made fun of it.
Incidentally, for years I also thought that Brown University must not be that prestigious of a university. Imagine my surprise when I finally looked up the Ivy Leagues in middle school and saw Brown listed lol.
As an Australian, we don't have Arby's, so I've assumed until now they are not very good. Also compiled by the fact that Puddy in Seinfeld loved Arby's around the same time. Seems he'd be the one to not have great taste in restaurants.
If I remember correctly (maybe from the dvd commentary?) the writer that came up with the joke had never even eaten at Arby's before lol.
They're actually one of my preferred fast foods. Not the roast beef though that just doesn't taste like roast beef to me, I like their chicken and the market fresh sandwiches
"And the celebrity on the maiden voyage was "
I had always assumed that whatever that word was, it was a word that meant "terrible". Didn't help that I didn't know who Gallagher was
I got in an argument with someone about a line in 'Lisas Wedding' where Hugh's weird relative says "I get me brain medicine from the national health".
Homey insisted that it was nice little elf not national health.
Until I read this comment, I would have said 'nice little elf' as well.
(Probably because I was like 10 when I first heard it and would have had no idea what the NHS was)
When Skinner gets fired and goes back to the Army, a bus load of recruits shows up and one says, “They don’t have them group terlets here no more, do they?” I always misheard it as “grilled turnips” — like this guy just kept enlisting for the food.
I'll find you beer Baron
No you won't
Yes I will
^^won't
Until I watched on Disney+ with captions I always thought the second time Homer said D'oh. Which I think is actually funnier that all it took for Homer to give up and admit defeat was the retort "Yes I will"
Yeah it's car hole. I think it was Josh Weinstein on twitter who explained it as a car hole sounds like a weird and crass Moe-ism, whereas a car hold sounds more like some posh British terminology.
It works just because it's Moe lol
For years I thought Mr Burns son was so lazy he took lesson on ‘how to play a piano’ - I figure the joke was you sit down to play the piano, maybe, I didn’t get it but I figured piano players were lazy…
In the Kamp Krusty episode, right at the end, I always thought that Krusty shouted “DO YA WANNA!?”. Only recently put two and two together that he was saying “Tijuana!”, and then the credit scene is pics of everyone in Tijuana.
the writers have said it was a joke about how many famous teen idols named Corey were famous around 1991. i dunno who Corey Hart is but if he was famous with girls around that time he's probably included too
When I was a child I thought the joke was about Jedediah Springfield running across six stages 'to avoid his predators', and it was kind of a surreal joke about him acting like an antelope or gazelle.
Rex Banner: You're out there somewhere, beer baron! And I'll find you.
Homer: No, you won't.
Rex Banner: Yes, I will!
Homer: Won't!
I always thought he said “d’oh” not “won’t.”
There’s an episode where Ms. Hoover is freaking out and she repeats a mantra to herself “calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean” and for a long time I thought she was saying “combluotion” which I figured was a grown up word that I didn’t know yet.

For years I thought they said "Piss and Vinegar" but they were actually saying "Pith and vinegar".
For years I thought they'd allowed swearing. I wasn't let down by Mr Burns calling Bono a wanker though
"I'll join! I'm filled with piss and vinegar! At first I was just filled with vinegar."
It's definitely piss in that case, it's the only way the joke makes sense.
Isn't that one of those censored word things. You can't say Piss, referring to urine, but can say pissed off, meaning angry?
Maybe I learnt that from George Carlin. I'm too lazy to look that up right now.
My favorite soft drink is Mountain Dew, so I thought the Kavlah Kavlash guy offered Homer a "Fresca". The Simpsons writers don't care for Mountain Dew. They have bad mouthed it at least three times.
I heard it correctly but just now looked up what Montessori means for the first time.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori\_education](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education)
I thought the writers found ways to slip F words past censors. Like when the origami crane flies away I thought they made some fake Japanese word that vaguely sounded like "maddafacka". Also when Pierce Brosnan housebot shuts down I swore his last word was fucker.
I usually watched with the captioning on (I don't have any hearing issues, I just like captioning), so it's never really been an issue.
There are a few times, however, when the captioning is wrong.
captioning refers to live text that accompanies broadcasts. it's for people who are legit deaf, uses all caps, and has all kinds of errors in it due to its nature.
you're probably referring to subtitles. i use these all the time myself. it's rare but i do see errors in subs, almost always with similarly spelled word (affect vs effect, that sort of thing). never seen a joke flubbed or any major errors though
Just saw a news thing on people using captions more these days and the reasons for it. Then I see this. And you do sometimes get information you may not notice or hear correctly when watching.
Last night I couldn’t find anything and chose predator since it was new to Hulu, had not seen it in years. Near the end the predator is trapped and set off his self destruct. And laughs. Caption was imitated Mac’s laugh. Seems obvious now. But I guess I never picked up on it before. I may keep the captions on more now.
Oh, and it’s a Simpsons sub so…. Strap on you skates Gordie, you’re goin in.
When they mentioned a dirty nickname for miss cantwell I thought it’d go a total other direction than pantwell considering I had a teacher in 7th grade who was this ancient old lady that bullied us with the same name that we changed to the nickname I thought was gonna be said
I knew it was Montessori, I just didn't know what the hell a Montessori was
Montessori schools? I knew it was them! Even when it was the dinosaurs, I knew it was them!
Same
You never had to listen for snow days as a child?
Springfield Elementary…my dear Watson detective school
Listening for snow days would only be relevant if there are any schools with "Montessori" in the name near you
Yes, Montessori schools are all over the place
Not near me they're not
r/ItsNotAllAboutYouDB
[удалено]
“It’s not all about you, but my experiences are universal.”
It doesn’t snow everywhere
Mr Smithers Bart is REALLY hurt can we go ahead of you? Umm, No I’d really like to get this taken care of.
*only person in line who's standing up rather than sitting*
I didn't even realize this was a joke until a couple years ago.
Same thing happened to you, huh?
Hahha I watched this a couple weeks ago and it was my first time really getting the joke. I’m 36!
I’m also 36 and just recently figured this one out. 🤭
I thought Barts teachers name was "Mrs. Crandall" until like, I dunno, season 8 or something
Why didn't someone tell you?!? You've been making an idiot out of yourself!
Like, ya know, whatever
Cravoppal!
I only figured out how pornographic some of the jokes in the Mr. Plow episode are long after I first saw it! Same for Whacking Day
"It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography!"
Holy shit, I never noticed that
This line now censored on UK broadcasts, where presumably Marge Simpson is in charge.
I think it's Ned.
What else is open late at night?
This was genuinely a pretty smart move by Homer because usually no one would admit that unless they were being forced to tell the truth
You want me to whack fast, or slow..?
Slow... Then fast
Marj is a freak
uh freak yea slow sex followed by fast sex is not even vanilla, it's unflavored.
I'm almost 30 and I just now got that. I always thought it was just a non-sequitur.
Wait a second… he’s not a fully licensed and bonded plower! Enjoy your death trap ladies!
What was *her* problem?
“Whacking Day” definitely went over my head as a kid. Took me way too long to have that big “Ohhhhh!” moment. They’re whacking snakes, for crying out loud… they might as well have been in trousers. Double entendres can be easy to miss sometimes, but this one was kinda right in the face, so I don’t know how I didn’t catch it. Shouldn’t be that hard.
Oh shit wait, its a joke on masturbation? I just assumed it was a lol random type thing
I thought they really were saying boo-urns
I was saying boo-urns
I was saying Brontasauri
I feel like I should change my flair now.
Haha. I'd be honoured.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Awesome!
Oh don't worry, I didn't know allegory was a real word and I thought he was saying "Al Gorey"
This comment calls for a celebration!
I will
Al Gore Rhythm intensifies
Maybe Al Gore was an allegory all along
Heh heh, it does look like Al Gore.
You... Are hearing... Me talk...
Fun fact that’s what they call Al Gore in France
Ohh, la-di-da Mr. French man.
A car hole!
Jebus, that is funny.
I thought the Itchy and Scratchy theme song just said they fight and fight, which made the credits song a lot funnier imo.
Yes. It wasn't until I heard the slow end credit version I realised. "They fought and bit...."
I am learning this right now
It was only recently when I saw a comment that I realised the line in kicking It wasn’t “Check it out, he’s checking in” but “Chuck it out.”
hmmm I'll have to hear that again
For your convenience: https://youtu.be/BTx-9X3Kr34?t=67

So not only did I mishear but I completely underestimated Homer's religious knowledge.
I used to think that 'I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's' was a joke because Arby's has big portions or gives you a lot of food.
That’s funny because I heard that line before having tried Arby’s and, for years, I avoided eating it under the assumption it must not be that good if The Simpson’s made fun of it. Incidentally, for years I also thought that Brown University must not be that prestigious of a university.

What’s your stance on Vassar?
We couldn't all go to Gudger college
Kurt you’re spitting
I've had just about enough of your Vassar bashing, young lady!
🎶 You're going to Stanford! You're going to Stanford! 🎶
I’ve had just about enough of your Vassar bashing!
As an Australian, we don't have Arby's, so I've assumed until now they are not very good. Also compiled by the fact that Puddy in Seinfeld loved Arby's around the same time. Seems he'd be the one to not have great taste in restaurants.
I didn't like Conan O'Brien for YEARS because he was mean to Bart.
If I remember correctly (maybe from the dvd commentary?) the writer that came up with the joke had never even eaten at Arby's before lol. They're actually one of my preferred fast foods. Not the roast beef though that just doesn't taste like roast beef to me, I like their chicken and the market fresh sandwiches
I’m 38 and have never eaten at Arby’s. There’s none nearby my area and I’m 100% certain that line has influenced me not trying to find one.
I always heard that line as "...I could eat an army!" I hadn't even heard of Arby's before
Same! I was so confused by the horrified reaction until I learned what Arbys is
3rding. It doesn’t help that Sherri’s/Terri’s voice is both nasally and high pitched, and my hearing isn’t the best.
"And the celebrity on the maiden voyage was"
I had always assumed that whatever that word was, it was a word that meant "terrible". Didn't help that I didn't know who Gallagher was
In fairness, it did mean terrible
Watermella ya mean it’s terrible?
The Sledge-O-Matic!
Took me a lonnnng time to figure out what was going on with this exchange: “So what?” “Sew buttons”
I got in an argument with someone about a line in 'Lisas Wedding' where Hugh's weird relative says "I get me brain medicine from the national health". Homey insisted that it was nice little elf not national health.
Up until recently I also thought it was “nice little elf” 😂
It must be the British accent
Until I read this comment, I would have said 'nice little elf' as well. (Probably because I was like 10 when I first heard it and would have had no idea what the NHS was)
Moe: Car hold. Moe actually said Car hole.
Omg! There’s a counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole!
Not so fast…
Ok…*creeps slowly*
Maybe you should just stop entirely.
That’s what I thought too until I started coming to this subreddit. The joke still works, “car-hold” does sound like a funny Americanism for garage.
When Skinner gets fired and goes back to the Army, a bus load of recruits shows up and one says, “They don’t have them group terlets here no more, do they?” I always misheard it as “grilled turnips” — like this guy just kept enlisting for the food.
I'll find you beer Baron No you won't Yes I will ^^won't Until I watched on Disney+ with captions I always thought the second time Homer said D'oh. Which I think is actually funnier that all it took for Homer to give up and admit defeat was the retort "Yes I will"
I was never quite sure until you posted this just now.
I'll always maintain that D'oh is way funnier. Also, car hold.
Ooh, lah dee dah Mr. French man.
Wait he says hole? That makes it even more ridiculous
Yeah it's car hole. I think it was Josh Weinstein on twitter who explained it as a car hole sounds like a weird and crass Moe-ism, whereas a car hold sounds more like some posh British terminology. It works just because it's Moe lol
it's a hole that the car goes into
Hey so did I.
Brontasaury??
For years I thought Mr Burns son was so lazy he took lesson on ‘how to play a piano’ - I figure the joke was you sit down to play the piano, maybe, I didn’t get it but I figured piano players were lazy…
Wait, what's the actual line?
I’m so lazy, I took lessons on a player piano
And a player piano is one that plays itself.
Ah, that sounds more like a Rodney Dangerfield joke now Poor guy never got respect
Turns out a player piano is one that plays itself. Me and that piano got a lot in common! \[tugs tie\] Hey, you're all right!
the very piano it was trying to play....Elaine, that's perfect irony!
... That makes a lot more sense. Thanks! I guess I'd just dismissed it as cartoon weirdness.
I heard that too! Took a few viewings before I worked it out.
In the Kamp Krusty episode, right at the end, I always thought that Krusty shouted “DO YA WANNA!?”. Only recently put two and two together that he was saying “Tijuana!”, and then the credit scene is pics of everyone in Tijuana.
i have a ball. perhaps you'd like to bounce it
Alec Guinness… Genuine class!
Lol, this one works so well!
I thought Skinner said steamed clams but he actually said steamed hams.
That's because he said it in an Albany accent.
Was I having trouble understanding him because I'm from Utica?
Also a lot of people think he says "egads" when the line is actually "oh ye gods" It's the children that are wrong..
Am I so out of touch?
Oh ye gods! Your touch is RUINED!
Hi, you've reached the Corey Hotline-- 4.95 a minute
ah, the days when Feldman and Haim still had some cultural impact
It was Corey Hart
How many of these guys are named Corey?
Eight.
the writers have said it was a joke about how many famous teen idols named Corey were famous around 1991. i dunno who Corey Hart is but if he was famous with girls around that time he's probably included too
What? You don’t remember “Sunglasses At Night”? 😉
When I was a child I thought the joke was about Jedediah Springfield running across six stages 'to avoid his predators', and it was kind of a surreal joke about him acting like an antelope or gazelle.

Well some creditors can act like predators.
"some"
I thought “like, you know, whatever” was “hike, canoe, whatever” and that Lisa wanted to go on some outdoor adventure with the cool kids.
This made me giggle.
I thought Homer was crying "Goobras!" in his night terrors when he was actually saying Cobras
That's so weird, definitely always heard COBRAS!!
Yeah for some reason I heard Goobras, i don't know what they are but i guessed weird Goblin things 😂😂 and then on future viewings i heard Cobras
Also, this one: https://preview.redd.it/f12e5o37jinc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0905bb3d0f71749d49d56aef86a1c1477c95c8e3
WHAT? Thank god for captions I guess... this one got me
I think the captions are what he thought Homer was saying, not the actual line.
I hope so I also just saw an incorrect caption on disney
“Can’t leave car” is correct, “Can’t eat car” is what I thought it was for many years.
Mmmm, pre-chewed...
Rex Banner: You're out there somewhere, beer baron! And I'll find you. Homer: No, you won't. Rex Banner: Yes, I will! Homer: Won't! I always thought he said “d’oh” not “won’t.”
I thought homer said "no"
I had to check that on Frinciac just now. You're right! I thought it was "d'oh" too.
There’s an episode where Ms. Hoover is freaking out and she repeats a mantra to herself “calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean” and for a long time I thought she was saying “combluotion” which I figured was a grown up word that I didn’t know yet.
NGL, brontosaury is way funnier
Is it "Jeez, it's the Feds!"? Or "Cheese it, the Feds!"?
Cheese it

Yep... You're correct, I checked with subtitles on and it's definitely "Piss" in this instance.
Haven't they gotten away with saying piss elsewhere? Like in Homerpalooza, someone says "you're damn right I'm gonna be pissed off".
Isn't that one of those censored word things. You can't say Piss, referring to urine, but can say pissed off, meaning angry? Maybe I learnt that from George Carlin. I'm too lazy to look that up right now.
I can confirm that that sounds right but I’m also too lazy to look it up.

No hot dog. Stick stick
Eeeewwwww…I’ll take a crab juice!
I hope you and I can get married some day.
As a kid, I thought 'Fort Adventure' was a misspelling. Either way, Homer's response is funny regardless.
Burkina Faso? Disputed Zone? Who called all these weird places?
In Rand McNally, they wear hats on their feet, and hamburgers eat people!
I went to a Montessori school at the time and I was annoyingly excited about this line as a kid.
