I seem to remember that Abe struggled to pronouce the words. This appears to back me up in that respect. But it does say that he did say condo rather than cone dome (as I remembered it).
So much for stuff that passed the censors.
[homer]Stupid censors.[/homer]
But I wonder what stuff didn’t pass the censors. Maybe someone will write a book about that someday?
Matt? Are you listening?
…Ummmmm… Not really. And no.
On the 2nd season DVD commentary they (Groening, Jean, Brooks et al) joke about nearly having to get other network censors to censor The Simpsons as FOX had none available.
One issue they apparently had to battle with the censors/FOX over is the use of the word ‘genitalia’
Apparently, the producers (above) had to send a letter to FOX explaining how the use of this word was important. The director (Jim Reardon) said he had the letter framed on his wall.
I reckon the producers know their bounds and are rarely truly censored.
That said, I saw a syndication episode tonight were they forced the ‘censor joke’ issue.
% Elsewhere, Lisa explores the store alone. She finds a “Krusty’s
% Speak And Say” and pulls the string.
[from toy] “S” is for “shiksa”! S-H-I … uh, I think there’s a “T”
in there somewhere … ah, look it up!
– Krusty the Klown, “Lard of the Dance”
I think that season Krusty would say something Yiddish(-ish?) nearly every episode for some yuk-yuks.
He did struggle to pronounce the words. I remember it as con-dome as well. He probably thinks it’s a condo or an actual dome.
La…tex…con…dom…boy, I’d like to live in one of those!
But that’s the joke. You can live in a condo. Not a condom. The m is torn from the wrapper and Grampa doesn’t have the smarts figure what the packet really is.
It was ruptured do to a severe bladder infection that wasn’t treated.
Also, Arbuckle accidentally kicked kneed her in the stomach earlier-she tried to tickle him, and his reflexes shot out. (I do the same thing).
And she had been dancing, high kicking, etc, all night.
Rappe was not in the best of health, nor did she lead a very clean lifestyle, the poor girl.

When Homer wins the free risque photo shoot:
Homer: It’s time to get Homer-erotic!
At Storytown Village:
Bart: He blows alright. He blows bigtime!
Marge: That’s it, honey. Get into the spirit!
And then there’s the “Who shot Mr. Burns?” episode. Homer get’s a card without his name on it, his pupils dilate.
Homer: (clenched teeth) Kids, can you step outside for a moment?
[kids skedattle]
Homer: (takes a huge breath) F-!!
[cut to bells chiming]
Flanders: Dear Lord. That’s the loudest profanity I’ve ever heard!
What did Willie say…
“…and I 'ate the mess he left on the floor”
When Bart was looking for his dog.
