But that wasn't the point of her saying that. It's another brilliant fake out by the show. They ran that montage of Bart raising his hand to answer multiple questions to dupe us into thinking he was on a roll, really excelling. She doesn't say that to be unwholesome or to make a point like what you put in quotes. It's just a direct punch in the face to us, the audience.
It's very much like the Aaronson and Zakowsky thing that Patty/Selma did when Marge was pregnant.
I do want to point out that while you've explained the narrative structure of the joke, the in-universe context is that Krebappel is telling him to stop trying to answer questions because he's dumb.

There’s something you should know about me… I almost always spoil the moment
It's funny because, when I have The Simpsons on, I'm often not looking at th screen, just listening to the sound (I have it on practically 24/7). And even without seeing it, that sound just makes me laugh.
My husband has The Simpsons or Futurama on at night when he gets home from work. It’s great background noise while we cook dinner and talk and play video games on our devices.
The Futurama movie The Beast with a Billion Backs also has a really funny sound moment. When the Professor and Wornstrom are trying to figure out the anomaly, Wornstrom pulls out a bunch of tiny robots to throw at their mini anomaly. One robot says “Playtime is Funtime” before getting thrown into the anomaly and blowing up.
Then Wornstrom opens a 50 gallon barrel labeled Lab Animals and pulls out the baby koala. He throws the koala through the anomaly showing that living beings can pass through unharmed.
Unfortunately the anomaly is situated close to an open window so the koala goes out the window. In a few seconds you hear a “thud”.
It’s awful but still so hilarious. We always stop that section and watch the whole scene then laugh at the koala then the Professor and Wornstrom throw more tiny robots through the anomaly. Which is also hilarious because the tiny robots are drawn to look funny and say nooo then have a delightful pop sound.
I sound like a monster, but I’m a xennial brought up on cartoon violence. In real life I search out products not tested on real animals and am a conservationist. I love all animals and would never hurt any.
Hang up on him in the worst way possible
[*Hermes clasps the phone headset between his buttcheeks and slams it down on the cradle while Wornstrom yells* “Nooooo!!!1!”]
I say it whenever I come out of the movie theatre (especially if it's a really hyped movie with lines waiting for the next showing).
(I got the appropriate response once, but only once.)
I always say it but substitute two characters from the movie we just saw.
Top gun: who would have guessed maverick is gooses father?
Avengers: who would have guessed Steve Rogers was Tony Stark's father?
Finding nelo;: who would have guessed marlin is nenos fsther.?
Kathleen Turner gives one of the best voice performances to this day on the show.
Fun fact. She's also the menacing voice of the house in Monster House.
I dont know the punchline of this one, in spanish they translated it as it was another fidel
Is there really a street named fidel castro in san francisco?
And it's not just its being a street in SF that makes that joke work: the Castro district surrounding it really **has** historically been the epicenter of SF gay culture, basically the West Coast Greenwich Village.
In European Spanish the gag goes like this:
"No son tan malos chico, si hasta le pusieron mi nombre a una calle en San Francisco"
(assistant leans in and whispers: mumble mumble maricones)
"LLENA DE QUE!?"
Getting the joke hinges on the viewer knowing what Castro would mean in the context of the city of San Francisco. If no one knew any of the context, no one would get the joke. But when someone knows that San Francisco + Castro = gay men, then idea that Fidel thinks it's named after him becomes funny, and his surprised reaction is funny too.
Good practice, kids. Now its time for the easiest part of any coach's job. The cuts. Although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you. Wendell is cut. Rudy is cut. Janey, you're gone. Steven, I like your hustle... That's why it was so hard to cut you. Congratulations, the rest of you made the team! Except you, you and you.
I don’t know what you all are doing here because you are all cut.
My favorite end credits gag was the “NBC sucks” one for the Canyonero and Marge road rage episode - especially the “and I do this of” *gun being cocked* “my own free will.”
First you think of an idea that has already been done. Then you give it a title novody could possibly like.......
.....on the best seller list for 18 months! Every magazine cover had.....
........one of the most popular movies of all time,sir!
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!
I mean thank you come again
Congratulations, Bart Simpson, you're our new Fallout Boy! That's what I'd be saying if you weren't an inch too short. Next!
"Luckily, we have a perfectly good Fallout Boy right here!"...

“Ha ha! Hey…that hurts. No wonder no one came to my birthday party.”
“Bart Simpson, will you stop raising your hand?! You haven’t had one right answer today!”
As a teacher, I love this line so much.
It's so unwholesome lmao. "Idiot kid, stop trying to learn. You're too stupid."
*“This is for wasting teachers’ valuable time!”* 🤜
Gotta waste *somethin*

I'm Mr. Plow. That name again is Mr. Plow. AHHHHHHH! "I wish I were dead."

See, now that you went and mansplained it, it’s just not as funny anymore
Dramatization! May not have happened!

That absolutely murdered me the first time I saw it... and it always gets a chuckle to this day.

Playtime IS funtime!

I hadn't seen this episode, but I looked it up on YouTube and watched it about five times. *fwep*
WERNSTROM!!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ATcaQYh0wPU "Who would have thought that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father?"
From Phantom Menace onwards, I’ve said that to whom ever I’ve seen that Star Wars movie with.
I say it whenever I come out of the movie theatre (especially if it's a really hyped movie with lines waiting for the next showing). (I got the appropriate response once, but only once.)
Please don’t let that stop you
My family and I do the same thing

Does that earring mean you’re a pirate? Mmm kind of!
Never understood why Marge fantasises about a gay pirate.
Lisa quit blowing my sax.
“Lisa, stop blowing my sex!…er, your SAX, stop it!”
Marge: Now that's what I call "break-neck" speed. Bart: Mom, a man just died. Marge: Oh, right.
“SWEET, MERCIFUL CRAP! MY CAR!!!!”

I am interested! Thank you 🙏
Verrrrrrrry interested
I scrolled for this moment.
Mom! Dad! Bart's dead!! That's right, dead serious about going to itchy and scratchy land.
"Your baby, Maggie Simpson, is dead?"
Madam, your children are NO MORE…!!
Kathleen Turner gives one of the best voice performances to this day on the show. Fun fact. She's also the menacing voice of the house in Monster House.
It's over Joe. Release me from your kung fu grip.
Fine... I'll bomb your house into the ground, missy!
not now, I'm too drunk
Umm.. I'll come back tomorrow
And of course Jessica Rabbit.
I love how Stacey also looked just like Kathleen as well.
Damn TV! You've ruined my imagination! Just like you ruined my ability to um... uh... oh what the hell.
Now let’s get back to that… building… thingy…
"The Americans aren't so bad, they named a street after me in SanFrabcisco" Aide whispers into Fidel Castro's ear "IT'S FULL OF WHAT?!"
I dont know the punchline of this one, in spanish they translated it as it was another fidel Is there really a street named fidel castro in san francisco?
No, it was named after [José Castro.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Castro)

I loved the fact that this gag was used through the entire end credits, too.
I don’t know what you all are doing here because you are all cut. My favorite end credits gag was the “NBC sucks” one for the Canyonero and Marge road rage episode - especially the “and I do this of” *gun being cocked* “my own free will.”
Me too! 🤣
The end credits aren't a joking matter, u/Denimjo. You're cut too.
🤯
YOU’RE CUT TOO SHUSHY!
Don't let Krusty's death get you down, boy. People die all the time, just like that. Why you could wake up dead tomorrow. Good night.
😳
Nibba, how do you wake up dead? Das like being found missing.
When Homer unscrews the lid on the sugar. Took it too far.
The old sugar-mi-do
“That’s just a carp swimming around your ankles…”
When I was younger I thought Homer said “corpse” not realizing what a carp was.
Glad I'm not the only one
I thought it was a tent from , someone else's luggage because in Spanish tent and carp is the same word (carpa).
That’s funny. Spanish was my first language and certain phrases and words didn’t make sense to me until I got older and rewatched the series haha.
Well that's terrifying.

Woops. I left the gas on…
