Remember when old-time episodes of The Simpsons invariably would include hilarious crank calls from Bart to Moe the Bartender? (My personal favorite: “Jacques Strap”.)

Since they’re insisting on continuing the show these days, I think a good contemporary line for this gag would go something like this:

Moe: “Moe’s Tavern.”
Bart: “Hi, I’m looking for a Mr. Kidah? First name, Al.”
Moe: Just a minute… HEY! AL KIDA? IS THERE AN AL KIDA IN HERE TONIGHT?”
(Barflies all laugh at him)
Moe: “Wait a minute! You little infidel!”

That’s comic gold, baby.
