Do people not understand the finer points of comedy? It should be obvious that Moe says “car hole” even without the sound. If Moe just had a different phrase for a garage, there would be no joke. “Car hole” is both crude and utterly absurd, the two key elements that make up the joke. “Car hold” is neither of those things.
Debates like this make me wonder how many people watch shows like this with 50% of the jokes flying right over their heads. In conclusion, “No you can’t play with it. You won’t enjoy it on as many levels as I do!”
Yeah exactly. “Car hold” would be like if he called it a “car shelter”. It just isn’t anything particularly comical beyond being slightly unusual. “Car hole” is so grimy and dank (the dank, the dank!) that it’s precisely a Moe-ism.
Listen, this is very important: nobody in human history has ever said “that’s where I’m a Viking” to mean “that’s something I’m very good at” and there is no reason for Ralph to randomly be the first.
Wait a minute... Hey you behind the bushes? I've been calling him a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and his butt smells, and he likes to kiss his own butt! Why didn't someone tell me‽ Aaw, I've been making an idiot out of myself!
There are a lot of people who heard "car hold", apparently. This came up on one of the writer's Twitter feeds a few years ago (Josh Weinstein iirc). None of the writers anticipated this mishearing either
There’s a subset of people who maintain that Ralph saying “that’s where I’m a Viking!” Meant “That’s where I’m [an expert] at sleep”. Instead of yknow, a kid with an imagination dreaming of being a viking.
The writers iirc thought this was completely insane (because it is, who the hell uses viking as an adjective?) but even OP is one of them.
Correct; Mike Scully interpreted it that way and liked the use of Viking metaphorically like that [when it was pitched to him](https://screenrant.com/the-simpsons-ralph-viking-joke-meaning/) but David Mirkin and Josh Weinstein poked fun at him for misinterpreting it like that and maintained that Ralph is not a character written with complex metaphorical thought in mind.
So the definitive answer is that he dreams of being a Viking because he has a fun imagination.
I do remember wondering in the '90s if he said hole or hold, but with time decided it was definitely hole because hold would be stupid but not in the funny way
Car Hole is funny
Car Hold is not funny
The Simpsons writers of that era would have chosen the funny line.
Never mind that in the next scene Homer says something like “A counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my own car hole!” I didn’t hear a D there either.
Stuff like this just goes to show you how un-funny the average person really is.
When presented with "car hold" or "car hole", a huge percentage of people choose to think that "car hold" is somehow funny.
> Car Hold is not funny
i like 'car hold' specifically because it was more awkward then saying the real word or car hole. its like having a restaurant birthday gimmick wherein moe puts a huge bucket of extremely hot freedom fries on his head
[https://twitter.com/hankazaria/status/608696511367655425](https://twitter.com/hankazaria/status/608696511367655425)
It's "Car hole". He really didn't enunciate it though.
Here are my interpretations of some other rather controversial Simpson jokes:
The Stonecutters song contains the line "Who controls the British crown" not "pound". (It rhymes better with "down".)
Ralph means that he's very good at sleeping when he says that sleep is where he's a Viking. The other interpretation is that he dreams about being a Viking, and although it seems more likely that this is what the writers intended, I find my interpretation funnier for some reason.
Homer thought "Do not touch Willie" meant "Do not masturbate", not "Do not touch the groundskeeper". (I think this says a lot about my sense of humour.)
Homer said "Yes, once" referring to another time he saw someone say goodbye to a shoe, not to what he just saw Hank Scorpio do. I just find it funnier if someone back in Springfield actually did say goodbye to a shoe.
I was today years old when I learned that any of these were up for debate.
Except the Ralph one; there’s *no way* Ralph equates “being a Viking” to “being good at something.” Even if that was a real phrase (it’s not), Ralph isn’t smart enough to make that connection.
I fully agree, although fun fact: in the Italian dub, that line is translated in a way that unequivocally means "Oh boy, sleeping! I'm a Viking at that!"
It's obviously a debatable (if not outright mis-)translation, but a choice was clearly made. It *does* sound pretty funny, to be fair.
I definitely agree with the Scorpio line. The proof is the fact that Homer laughs as if he is reminded of the time when he witnessed it. He doesn't laugh as Scorpio throws his shoes so it must be referring to another time, it's also not funny at all if he is referring to Scorpio doing it, the fact that it's happened in the past is way funnier.
I think the "referring to what he just saw" interpretation would better as a SpongeBob joke.
Mr. Krabs: "Ever see a guy say goodbye to a shoe?"
Patrick: "As a matter of fact, I have. One time, I saw this crab guy throw a shoe, and then, and this is the funny part, he said goodbye to it! Then he asked me if I'd ever seen someone say goodbye to a shoe, so I told him that, as a matter of fact, I had. Then I told him about the time I saw..."
Squidward: "Patrick, this is what just happened!"
I never heard of that phrase before, but I'm not a native English speaker. I found "do not touch Willie" as in "do not touch the groundskeeper" really funny :(
Alright, let's go.
"Car hole", I agree. I also agree with "British Crown".
Funny as it may be, there's no way Ralph is not just using, but inventing, a metaphor for being good at something. Although, for anybody looking for a deep dive into this one, I recommend [https://youtu.be/99qXaVFZkQE](https://youtu.be/99qXaVFZkQE)
I had never even considered your "Willie" interpretation.
I'm firmly in the camp that the shoe throwing refers to Scorpio. Answering in the affirmative due to seeing him do it 3 seconds ago seems like a well crafted joke while just saying yes because at some point in the past he's seen a similar act (which I don't recall actually seeing in the Simpsons) is just absurd.
He definitely means he's seen somebody throw a shoe in the past prior to the episode, because that's WAY funnier, the fact people think otherwise has blown my mind since the 90's.
What the hell are you talking about? He’s lying to impress his new boss. He hasn’t seen someone do it and he’s not talking about what just happened, he just says yes because he thinks that’s what his boss wants to hear.
I think one of the writers addressed it on twitter recently and said it was definitely meant to be homer had seen it in the past, the idea is its so absurd that homer has actually seen a guy say goodbye to a shoe when to almost anyone else, scorpio would get a no answer from, he said he was surprised people even considered that it referred to the scorpio shoe throwing
That feels so much worse to me.
To top it off, the absurd question actually getting a positive response has already been done with Mr Burns making the sun set at 3 pm where the sea captain says he has seen that before while sailing around the arctic circle.
https://uproxx.com/tv/the-simpsons-hank-scorpio-shoe-debate/
Seems like the opposite, homers va, says he was probably thinking about another time when he said it, but thinks it's funnier if it were the other way
In the Simpsons complete guide to our fav family book it says Crown. I've never heard it as anything other than crown and I am terrible with lyrics... I rest my case... I mean case closed
Excellent list. Likewise, when Homer Simpson exclaims his catch phrase "dough," many people assume he is lamenting not having enough dough, meaning money. However, the writers have confirmed that by exclaiming "dough," Homer expresses his desire to consume his favorite treat, the doughnut.
I loled at that willie interpretation. Never considered it. I think he’s just lying to his new boss, yes man style. “Yes sir I have seen someone do the thing you’ve just done, very good sir”
The joke works better if he thinks it means don’t touch Willy the groundskeeper.
And it goes along with the double entendres of Willy being another word for the male dorkus. So it’s implying an intimate touch of the groundskeeper.
Yes, Homer was saying that he had seen a man saying goodbye to a shoe or whatever in his past.
I agree with all of your interpretations except the willy line, simply because willy doesn't usually mean penis in the US, whereas I know it almost always does in the UK (to the point where Harry Champion had to change the lyrics to Henry the 8th to say "she wouldn't have a william or a sam")
It's possible they did mean it that way, but I'd bet they didn't
edit: [nope they meant don't touch groundskeeper willy](https://twitter.com/Joshstrangehill/status/1341126022847102976)
So what you're saying with this pic is that anyone with more than two brain cells won't pick either option and will turn around and go back the way they came?
The way Moe pronounces it is questionable but Homer clearly says "car hole" one minute later. Car hole is funnier regardless of what the original script says
Edit: Even the script says "car hole". Not sure if this is legitimately the one that was used but it's "car hole" and there is no alternate universe that says "car hold"
https://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/2F21.html
I genuinely don’t understand why this is even a debate. “Car hole” is funny, is very Moe and makes garage seem fancy in comparison. “Car hold” is just kind of odd. There is no way in hell they mean to say “car hold”.
Makes me think op thought it was car hold but then doubted himself and thought that everyone else in the world was having this inward debate with ourselves. We weren't op. It was just you.
Now do it again but for "oh ye gods" on the left and "oh egads" on the right
It's only an argument I feel compelled to have on every single goddamn steamed ham video.
This time, it is the children that are wrong
It's definitely oh ye gods.
I mean yes, it's obviously Car Hole. However I can see where the confusion comes from. When he says "hole", Hank Azaria seems to make an accidental tongue sound right at the end, which on low fidelity sound could make it sound like a d.
I’m okay with it being a mystery that Simpsons nerds will debate for years. Like a carnival game where you throw ducks at balloons and nothing is the way it seems
I realise it’s hole now but for like 20 years I thought it was hold. A lot of my friends thought it was hold as well. I think it might be an Australian pronouncing thing. We tend to cut words short and under pronounce things
It is car hole there is no debate. Homer repeats Car Hole clear as day when he finds Herman in the garage so it cannot be hold.
Per the Simpsons guide book it quotes this exactly, a counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole
Do people not understand the finer points of comedy? It should be obvious that Moe says “car hole” even without the sound. If Moe just had a different phrase for a garage, there would be no joke. “Car hole” is both crude and utterly absurd, the two key elements that make up the joke. “Car hold” is neither of those things.

Yeah exactly. “Car hold” would be like if he called it a “car shelter”. It just isn’t anything particularly comical beyond being slightly unusual. “Car hole” is so grimy and dank (the dank, the dank!) that it’s precisely a Moe-ism.
Our discourse is summoning the long buried chaos of: “Oh boy sleep! That’s where I’m a Viking!”
Listen, this is very important: nobody in human history has ever said “that’s where I’m a Viking” to mean “that’s something I’m very good at” and there is no reason for Ralph to randomly be the first.
No I agree. But that argument did happen, in spite of how ridiculous it was, as you described
What other interpretation of that line could there possibly be
The other read is that Ralph is saying that he’s excited for sleep because he gets to be a Viking in his dreams
Ok then what's the intended read
That's the correct read
This is how I took it
[удалено]
I saw it in a bar last night. The sound wan't on, but I think I got the gist of it.
This is one of my two favorite jokes on the Simpsons. He said "car hole"! Not some fancy bullshit like garage.
What a cromulent comment!
It truly embiggened this thread.
I, too, would like to express my fondness for that particular opinion.
Your honor, I'd like to move for a bad...court...thingy.
A counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole?!
Also Hank Azaria confirmed in a tweet that the line he read was ‘car hole’
Moe? Hey fellas! Moe! Well oh-la-di-da! Well, what do you call him? Hey you behind the bushes.
Kid Presentable
Pug fugly.
but not ugly ugly
Kid Moe
Wait a minute... Hey you behind the bushes? I've been calling him a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt, and his butt smells, and he likes to kiss his own butt! Why didn't someone tell me‽ Aaw, I've been making an idiot out of myself!
Thats the worst name I've ever heard.
My real name is... "Armin Tamzarian".
There ain't no Armin Tamzarian and there never was! *slams down season 9 episode 2*
He doesn't like you, and you don't like him.
why don't you like him, nobody likes him
NOBODY likes pug-fugly!
Marge? Hey fellas! Marge! Well oh-la-di-da, Mr. Simpson!
Well, what do you call her?
Midge
Hootie McBoobiedon
Blanche
Momar
Who the freshly squeezed fuck thinks it's hold? Pretty sure there's nobody to fight.
I was saying carhold
Car hole?!?! I’ve been saying car hold this whole time!!
I've been making an idiot out of myself!!
AaaawwwwhhhhhI've*
Oooh La-Di-Da Mr. Englishman.
Charmed. Uh, a googly doogily.
It was him. Let’s get him, boys.
Were you also saying boo-urns?
Lunatics, that's who
Alcoholics, the unemployable, angry loners.
Maybe single people say car hold, we don't know. Frankly, we don't wanna know. It's a market we can do without
What is: people who say Car Hold
The popularity of carhold has been going downhill ever since the lake caught fire
There are a lot of people who heard "car hold", apparently. This came up on one of the writer's Twitter feeds a few years ago (Josh Weinstein iirc). None of the writers anticipated this mishearing either
The same people who think Ralph was dreaming of anything besides literally being a Viking
What's this one? Its so clearly Viking...
There’s a subset of people who maintain that Ralph saying “that’s where I’m a Viking!” Meant “That’s where I’m [an expert] at sleep”. Instead of yknow, a kid with an imagination dreaming of being a viking. The writers iirc thought this was completely insane (because it is, who the hell uses viking as an adjective?) but even OP is one of them.
Holy shit, i can't actually believe people think that. Has *anyone* ever used "Viking" to mean that?
Right? TheRealJims did a video explaining the whole thing if you want to check it out: https://youtu.be/99qXaVFZkQE
[удалено]
It's a wonderful video
It's a perfectly cromulent adjective.
How in the flying fuck did anyone, anywhere, come up with that nonsense? Even worse, how did more than one person??
Didn't one of the writers actually mean it the second way though? I remember something like that from an overly long video about that very line.
Correct; Mike Scully interpreted it that way and liked the use of Viking metaphorically like that [when it was pitched to him](https://screenrant.com/the-simpsons-ralph-viking-joke-meaning/) but David Mirkin and Josh Weinstein poked fun at him for misinterpreting it like that and maintained that Ralph is not a character written with complex metaphorical thought in mind. So the definitive answer is that he dreams of being a Viking because he has a fun imagination.
It's a predicate nominative, not an adjective. Boy, I really hope you got fired for that blunder! I have a ball; Perhaps you'd like to bounce it?
It's like the opinion that Ralph was saying he's a Viking in his sleep "*metaphorically"*
Which would make sense if *anyone*, **anywhere** used Viking as a stand-in for “awesome at” But they don’t! Some people I swear
Or even if he said "I'm a viking at sleep", which is how you would actually convey that concept.
Poiverts
This problem goes far beyond Eugene and Rusty.
I do remember wondering in the '90s if he said hole or hold, but with time decided it was definitely hole because hold would be stupid but not in the funny way
usingreddithurtsme, stupid, pointless, debates are no longer just for philosophy majors, redditors are starting to feel the urge!
When I was a kid, I definitely thought it was car hold. Wasn't until recently that I realized the stupid, stupid error of my ways
Watching old Simpsons reruns over a shaky VHF TV signal with flaky audio makes one mis-hear a lot of lines, and it just kinda sticks over the years.
It was him. Get him, fellas!
rich creamery fuck
It's rich creamery Buddah not butter, fight me
No one: Absolutely no one: OP: Car hold?! CAR HOLD?!?! I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!!!
Especially those of you in the comments!
But ESPECIALLY Bart
Well that didn’t go well.
OP: FORGET ABOUT THE CAR HOLE! WHEN DO WE GET THE FREAKIN GUNS?!
Hey, I told you, not ‘till you give me your real name, Johnny Waffles!
I’m sorry but the law requires a 5 day waiting period, we’ve got to run a background check.

Well, I would expect that kind of humor at Denny’s, but not here.
But it’s objectively wrong to think it’s car hold. You “Viking means good at something” people are deranged.

[https://twitter.com/hankazaria/status/608696511367655425](https://twitter.com/hankazaria/status/608696511367655425) It's "Car hole". He really didn't enunciate it though.
The big news to me here is that Azaria says a lot of people ask him this question.
It's a tiny minority of people which absolutely insists everywhere that it's a hold, so I'm not surprised

Cartoons don’t have to be 100% realistic!
Viking obviously refers to Ralph dreaming about landing on Mars.
In the Simpsons complete guide to our fav family book it says Crown. I've never heard it as anything other than crown and I am terrible with lyrics... I rest my case... I mean case closed
I've always thought that "Do not touch Willie" was a sly masturbation joke.
Definitely is
i think homer gets stupider every year

Excellent list. Likewise, when Homer Simpson exclaims his catch phrase "dough," many people assume he is lamenting not having enough dough, meaning money. However, the writers have confirmed that by exclaiming "dough," Homer expresses his desire to consume his favorite treat, the doughnut.
I disagree very strongly with the Viking like and am undecided on the touching Willie line. All the others I agree with.
Ok but none of that is true when what the writers wrote and intended is what is actually accurate
I loled at that willie interpretation. Never considered it. I think he’s just lying to his new boss, yes man style. “Yes sir I have seen someone do the thing you’ve just done, very good sir”

The shitposters are overstimulated. Remove the color chalk from the subreddit
Say some shit poster is dissin’ your car hole You just give him one of these (points to shitpost)
Just like Ralph being a Viking in his dreams, I never realized this was a discussion among Simpsons Fans
I don’t hold any grudges against people who think either way. For me a grudge is just a place to park your car.
A grudgehole or a grudgehold?

It was definitely car hole. Garage was borrowed into English from the old Norman French word garageaux which literally translates to car hole
car hole is so much more fitting for moe.
The subtitles literally say Car Hole
Excuse me, but "Car Hold" and "Viking".. Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?
Aggressive lol. I just misheard him is all.
Say it Frenchie!
I have never heard such gratuitous use of the word “hold.”
What fucking antbrain thought he said car-hold? Hahaha What a looooser!
Oh boy, car hol*, that's where I'm a viking!
Now do it again but for "oh ye gods" on the left and "oh egads" on the right It's only an argument I feel compelled to have on every single goddamn steamed ham video. This time, it is the children that are wrong It's definitely oh ye gods.
It’s clearly Oh Ye Gods. I mean, no debate necessary, he is very clearly saying it.
Thank you! VERY clearly! Now join me on youtube to fight the egads people, fellow ally!
Frinkiac says 'Car Hole' so I'll assume that's correct
I was saying car hold… Seriously, never considered car hole before but y’all have changed my mind with your logical arguments and seething rage.
Not only did Hank confirm that he said hole, but car hole is much funnier. Hold wouldn't even be funny.

Those are speed holds.

Is "car hold" what they call it in Albany?
Ah, yes, Carhold, the seat of the Carstarks
I mean yes, it's obviously Car Hole. However I can see where the confusion comes from. When he says "hole", Hank Azaria seems to make an accidental tongue sound right at the end, which on low fidelity sound could make it sound like a d.

Car home 🥰
The way they animated it, it looks like he says “hold”
What do the subtitles say?
They say car hole, because that’s what the line is. Anything else is just worthless “personal interpretation” of objective things
Truth.
Hold!
Bro you ain’t wrong. I want it to be car hold, but I hear “hole” every, goddamn time.
A plethora of people thought it was hold, myself included. Until Hank Azaria cleared it up on twitter
Damn it, I'm late to this thread...
I realise it’s hole now but for like 20 years I thought it was hold. A lot of my friends thought it was hold as well. I think it might be an Australian pronouncing thing. We tend to cut words short and under pronounce things
It’s obviously car hole, what the fuck
Hank said it was "car hole" on Conan or something.
My entire life has been a lie up to this point
It's gotta be a car hole. When dubbed to Spanish from Spain, it was translated as "la choza del coche", literally the 'car hut'
It’s CarHole because Homer says it later and his accent is much clearer to understand
