What was that joke??

[mooseb...@hotmail.com]

When Homer goes to the Guiness Book of World Records office, he tells
a joke about denver or spanish omelets, and then plays a cornpone riff
on a banjo with a cobra.

Does anyone remember the joke??

According to
http://www.snpp.com/episodes/DABF03,
the definitive, last word on how fat, I mean "stout", Marlon Brando
was,

% Homer meets the people who certify new records.

Homer: I'm here to break a world's record. What's the
longest anyone's ever done this? [jumps around,
making goofy faces and noises]
Record Lady: Three years.
Homer: Fine. I'll just play the banjo with this cobra.
[begins doing so, then hits a wrong note] Wait,
wait, wait!
Record Man: [interrupting] Uh, technically the cobra would get
the record. He's the one playing.
Homer: But it's my banjo!
Record Lady: Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you
with no discernable talent.
Homer: Yeah, they're called Congress. [laughs]
Record Lady: Shut up.
Homer: Okay.
Record Man: All the original records were set by crackpots who
half-killed themselves. The only way someone new
can get in the book is with some kind of group
stunt.
Homer: Group stunt?
Record Lady: Like the town that made the world's largest omelet.
Homer: Denver?
Record Lady: No, Spanish.
[ba-dum-bum! Homer plays a banjo flourish]

So is the joke the "Congress" joke or the "omelet" joke?

Omelet. And thanks. :)

Normally I am supposed to tease you and not answer your question. The
way that "nosamfat" did. He was behaving in character. I was not.
The teasing would include:

"Yes, I know that joke."
"Have you tried the Internet?" ("Is that thing still around?", "I hear
they have it on computers", ...)
"What song did Lisa play", ...
"Did you know Smithers was black, and one time he was gay?"
Some joke about Marlon Brando's girth, as he was in the episode in
question and Homer made a comment about his girth in said episode.
These type of obscure comments are good because if you know your OFF
you will understand the joke.

And so on. We should really call this ng alt.smart-ass-dry-humor-and-
sarcasm.

www.snpp.com is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Using
the Internet. And it will answer all your questions. About the
Simpsons. And Marlon Brando's girth.

So what's the joke with spanish omelette ?

Omelettes are from Spain.

[mmrt...@gmail.com]

The Guinness world record lady says the only way homer would be able to get a record in a book would be a group thing "like that town that made the largest omelette"

Homer responds asking "Denver"? Which is a popular omelette option like Spanish omelette, ham and cheese omelette, Denver omelette. With his dumb banjo riff after she says "no, Spanish" I assume Homer purposely asked Denver knowing it's a real town, but that she would assume he meant was it a Denver omelette instead of was the town Denver?

Hopefully that makes sense, I just saw this episode and fucking laughed my ass at the joke

I found out recently the banjo is a reference to "Hee
Haw", a comedy variety show from the 70s.

Here's an episode on YouTube
