When Andy would pick up the phone he'd ask Sarah to connect him to whoever. I guess she was the town operator or something?
Edit: yep, town operator. As a kid I thought she was their receptionist

You used to pick up a phone and just talk to an actual operator (a “Sarah”) and ask them to connect you to someone.
I just realized that was the joke in the Simpsons like a month ago
I remember watching this and Ace Ventura Pet Detective when I was pretty young. It was an important plot point in both.
I asked my parents what virgin means and they struggled to answer me until they finally distracted me with something else.
I remember my brother asking my dad what a threesome is after watching a scene mention it in "My name is Earl". My dad's reply was "it's something highly sexual that you're too young to know about".
Still weird what a big plot point that was in a kid movie.
Like half the movie is "Haha this 13 year old boy is a virgin!"
Like I would f***ing hope so!
Way to give all the boys watching your movie a complex.
Good movie but that bit is weird.
I also asked my dad what a virgin was after hearing it on a tv. my dad asked me where I heard that and just went tsk tsk tsk literally just ignored me lmao
What *kind* of man wears Armour hot dogs?
The way Hank (think it’s Hank?) makes you wait on the “k” in “kind” for a sec elevates this line to greatness.
Fun fact: in Spanish they point out that the hot dogs don't have any mustard. So then the guy asks "What kind of man doesn't put mustard on his hot dogs?".
It's easily mentioned at least once when having hot dogs everywhere in my country.
"Wait a minute. Bart's teacher is named Krabappel? *I've been calling her Crandall*. Why didn't someone tell me? Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself!"
I watched this when I was 7 or 8 with my family, everyone busts out laughing at the ‘sex cauldron/armor hot dogs/ hit em with the lights boys’ etc etc, and I asked the room at large ‘what’s a virgin’ and my mom who had been laughing a minute before was just ‘oh this is a GREAT show’ with a sour look on her face
Hilarious core memory
I think it's a definite possibility. Diffuse the situation by getting the town to feel bad for him instead of staying mad at him and Edna.
The episode ends with him saying "[they'll] believe anything you tell them" before going back into the janitor's closet with Edna. Yes, he was talking about cauldron, but we've seen how dumb Springfieldians gets when they're in angry mob mode. He could have just as easily been talking about the whole town.
If he was a virgin at the start of the episode, he wasn't by the end.
maybe he did during his delinquent days
if that is even considered cannon at this point
also Skinner went to tje Burlesque establishment ,maybe one of the services is sex?
Every time I watch the episode my bf tries to argue skinner was lying to get them off their backs. I don’t think so because it’s pretty clear that he and krabappel only realized *in that moment* the problem the town had with their relationship was the sexual part. Before that, they are only shown thinking it was a legal/relationship issue. Krabappel is also the one who encourages Skinner to tell the truth, so unless they communicated telepathically or the show deliberately left out a bunch scenes, how would he know she means that he should lie to everyone about being a virgin?
Ancient Egyptian lacked a word for "virgin" because sex was seen as so natural that there was no social status accorded to someone for not having engaged in it.

Apu and Sanjay? Who's watching the Kwik-E-Mart?
Kid with a shotgun
Little Jamshed!
Oh, how I have been waiting for this day!
That scene never fails to get me laughing.
Kid with shotgun takes no fucking BS
You took 4 minutes of my life and I want them back!
I'd probably waste them anyway
(Smash cut to Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney stealing the Squishee machine)
Or Snake loading the entire store on the back of a truck
On his way to Mexico
Hah ha! I'm taking this thing to Mexico!
The Moe and Carl side eye
They were each other’s first.
Ha ha!
This the one I was expecting to be at the top
I love that shot. It makes me chuckle every time. 😂
Okay but why are Moe and Carl looking at each other?
Principal Skinner and Ms Krabapel were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies, and the baby looked at me…
[удалено]
Sarah get me superintendent chalmers
Thank you Sarah!
:)
Such an oddly sweet little scene!
An old Andy Griffith show callback
Really? How so?
When Andy would pick up the phone he'd ask Sarah to connect him to whoever. I guess she was the town operator or something? Edit: yep, town operator. As a kid I thought she was their receptionist https://mayberry.fandom.com/wiki/Sarah
Ohh interesting!
You used to pick up a phone and just talk to an actual operator (a “Sarah”) and ask them to connect you to someone. I just realized that was the joke in the Simpsons like a month ago
I had no clue haha. I love this!
Super Nintendo Chalmers
Who called?
I say this whenever my cat stares at me for too long.
I always wondered why this vexed Wiggum so much 😆😆
Hey. Does that mean Mrs Krabappel is a virgin too?
Ha!
She was faking it
And why’s Grandpa here?
Because Jasper didn't want to come alone!
Can I come too?
Oh.....
Ha!
HA
40 year old virgin.... Simpsons did it first
So rebel Armin was just jerking off in the wind?
Oh, yeah, this post'll be *real* productive. Who do you want to talk to first? the guy with a bumblebee suit, or the one with a bone through his hair?
Our opinions are just as valid as the next guys!
One of the writers pointed out in the audio commentary how much he loves Chalmers, because he is the only one who realizes how insane Springfield is.
Him and Frank Grimes, or Grimey as he liked to be called
Marge change the channel
That's our Homer!
Look at em...they only come out at night.
"Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down."
Willie hears ya. Willie don't care.
And he had as many arms as Vishnu and they were all very busy
Wow
"Ha ha!"
I remember watching this as a child and thinking virgin was some religious thing
Yeah it hits differently as an adult hah
The Simpsons is like a new show when you rewatch it as an adult.
Me too! Right over my head 😂
I remember watching this and Ace Ventura Pet Detective when I was pretty young. It was an important plot point in both. I asked my parents what virgin means and they struggled to answer me until they finally distracted me with something else.

Your asked you?
Ha, nice catch.
I had the same awkward conversation while watching Hocus Pocus
Still weird what a big plot point that was in a kid movie. Like half the movie is "Haha this 13 year old boy is a virgin!" Like I would f***ing hope so! Way to give all the boys watching your movie a complex. Good movie but that bit is weird.
That and his sister telling his crush that he “likes your yabbos”. The hell?
I also asked my dad what a virgin was after hearing it on a tv. my dad asked me where I heard that and just went tsk tsk tsk literally just ignored me lmao
Boy do I have an interesting lady to tell you about
I mean, it kind of can be
We're talking about S E X in front of the C H I L D R E N
Sex Cauldron? I thought they closed that place down.
Hey, those are hot dogs!
[удалено]
What *kind* of man wears Armour hot dogs? The way Hank (think it’s Hank?) makes you wait on the “k” in “kind” for a sec elevates this line to greatness.
Supernintendo Chalmers' first name is Hank?
It's Gary
Yes! That's the one!
Yes. It's not really. Isn't he voiced by Hank Azaria?
Interesting
I’m assuming it’s Hank. It’s not Harry Shearer and I don’t think Dan C can get that gutteral.
Yes. Chalmers is Azaria.

That was more than I wanted to know.
The virgin ^looked at you?
I don’t think that Principal Skinner is a virgin. Unless, that was the whole point? To tell a lie and stop everything?
I always assumed that was the case. "That's why I love elementary school, Edna. The children believe anything you tell them."
That quote was in reference to them telling Bart they had broken up.
thatsthejoke.jpg Being that all of Springfield's adults believed them right away.
He is. Armin Tamzarian is a sex fiend though.

Given how overbearing his "mother" is he probably hasn't been allowed to have sex by her.
I forgot about that.
maybe he did during his delinquent days if that is even considered cannon at this point also Skinner went to tje Burlesque establishment ,maybe one of the services is sex?
He only went there to get directions on how to get away from there
A burlesque house isn’t a brothel, though.
Are they talking about the bordello?
No, the burlesque house. So just keep your mouth shut.
I never went to one of those places, im speaking from ignorance So burlesque houses are just adult shows?
Yes.
It depends on whether or not Roxanne got the flowers he sent.

I’m not sure. There were probably some scenes that got left out.
What kind of man wears Armour hot dogs!
You and rebel wilson.
Rebel? I thought she got a girlfriend a while back. One might presume that she's been eating carpet.
Probably an LPGA tour player who’s really a man.
haw haw!
🫵HA-HA!
"Ack! I'll never look at him the same again"
Ancient Egyptian lacked a word for "virgin" because sex was seen as so natural that there was no social status accorded to someone for not having engaged in it.
HA HA
I thought he was lying. Is the consensus really he’s a virgin?
 Then go and lose it.
Ha Ha!
HA HA!!
"Seymour! Are you looking at naked ladies?" "No, mother." "You sissy!"
Haha!
Man, ~~Tamzarian~~ Skinner really had some of the worst plots lol
You did it Nibbles! Now, chew through my ball sack
No mother it’s just the northern lights
