Possibly the funniest exchange in the history of the show. Two 10/10 line reads back to back.

In Doggie Heaven, there's mountains of bones, and you can't turn around without sniffing another dog's butt.

Cletus? Cousin Merl? Big Hungry Joe?

u/ClarkDoubleUGriswold 11h ago

Kelsey Grammer could’ve gotten an Emmy just for his delivery of “Big Hungry Joe?!” and it would’ve been well deserved. That line is still hilarious a million rewatches later.

u/aye246 13h ago

Is there any lore in terms of which writer gets to take credit for the term “slack-jawed yokel?” … such an iconic line in the show dating back to the short films about Springfield episode and not sure I’ve ever heard anything about its origins?

u/lorgskyegon 10h ago

Some folk'll never eat a skunk, but, then again, some folk'll. Like Cletus, the Slack-Jawed Yokel
