Bart's prank calls

Bart's Prank Calls occur when Bart Simpson makes a prank phone call to someone. Occasionally other people are involved as well.

Moe is the frequent target of Bart's prank phone calls. Usually Bart calls Moe's Tavern and asks for an individual by his or her name. Unbeknownst to Moe, the name is a pun or double entendre, which Bart hides by saying the last name first when he tells Moe who he's calling for. The joke is revealed when Moe calls the person's name aloud, saying their first name (or initials) first, and the last name last.

Sometimes Bart plays the pranks by methods other than over the phone, but the general idea is the same.

Aftermath
When Moe realizes that it's actually a prank, he gets mad and gives the caller threats like: On one occasion, Bart plays a phone prank from his house, and right after Moe realizes the call is a prank, Marge happens to pick up the phone and gets an earful of Moe's threat. Bewildered by the harsh language that comes over the phone as soon as she picks up the handset, Marge concludes that it must be a crossed line.
 * "It's you, isn't it, you cowardly little runt. When I get a hold of you, I'm gonna gut you like a fish and drink your blood!"
 * "I'll shove a sausage down your throat and stick starving dogs in your butt!"
 * "Listen to me, you, when I catch you, I'm gonna pull out your eyes and shove 'em down your pants so you can watch me kick the crap out of you, okay, then I'm gonna use your tongue to paint my boat!"
 * "When I get a hold of you, I'm gonna use your head for a bucket and paint my house with your brains!"
 * "Listen to me, you little scum sucking pus bucket, when I get my hands on you, I'm gonna pull out your eyes with a cork screw!"
 * "You rotten little punk! If I ever get a hold of you, I'll stick my teeth into your cheek and rip your face off!"

Homer attempts to phone-prank Moe and it backfires, due to Moe repeating the name ("Eura Snotball") back to Homer. Homer, in typical fashion, interprets it as an insult and threatens Moe: "If I find out who this is, I'll stick an American flag up your butt, and mail you to Iran."

There's another time when Bart finishes a prank call, and Marge tells him to go to Moe's and pick up Homer. Moe doesn't recognize Bart, but thinks his voice sounds familiar. [citation needed]
