The Bart/moe prank calls dynamic was one of my favorite things about the Simpsons. It reminds me of the banter I have with my great uncle.
As much as I enjoy this meme, I hate that Moe calls him Bart. Moe never found out who the prank caller was in the actual show.
I thought I remembered there being an episode where he did, but I’m probably misremembering the one where Bart claims to be Jimbo to ruin his date with what’s-her-face.
i think there was also the [halloween] one where bart had mind powers
Moe still didn’t know it was him, though.
did he though?
He said “Wait a minute…” right after, which implies he did not.
i figured the only reason he went along with it was because he knew it was bart and if he didn’t he would get turned into a jack in the box like homer or something, and then he was “wait a minute” about what he said, but that is a take i can consider as valid too
I can’t see him being able to convincingly pretend that he didn’t know who it was. The “Wait a minute” could also have been realizing that what he said DEFINITELY wasn’t a name, but that still doesn’t indicate that he knew it was Bart.
