The only laugh in that one that I remember is when Homer swipes Costello’s glasses and the latter shrieks “MY IMAGE!”

Re: The Simpsons
I enjoyed EC's bit in that ep:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Whatever, Medulla and Mah were quote vomiting each other and I missed Wolt’s tiny comment.
