You, or whomever, may just be overthinking it, but to vivisect the joke:

Moe notices the Oreo is ostensibly regular looking, so he eats it to see if it's an out-of-place normal cookie only to find out it IS irregular, but in some way not immediately apparent (i.e. taste, texture, etc.). His reaction, a concerned and regretful "Oh..." implies there is indeed something quite wrong with the Oreo despite its standard appearance. The scene hard cuts such that whatever exactly IS wrong with the cookie is left to the viewers' imaginations.

Say this joke were done in a modern episode of The Simpsons. It would go something like:

Moe: "I don't see what's wrong with this one. Oh... GOD IT IS IRREGULAR - I'M CHOKIN' ON SOMETHING VERY NOT NORMAL HERE!"
Marge (who'd left with the kids because she doesn't want a gun in the house comes back to forgive Homer and explain why somehow this was all her fault): "Moe are you okay?!"
Homer, eating the whole bag of Oreos: "He's fine."
Marge: "Maybe he's allergic to dairy!"
Lisa: "No, Mom, Oreos are actually vegan. There's no animal products in them at all."
Homer: "Really?! But they taste good! You're lying, Lisa, don't lie in front of the gun!" *he points the weapon at his daughter's head but no one reacts or cares b/c nothing matters*
Bart, holding up a newspaper: "Hey look! They're opening a new Oreo plant in Springfield in 5 minutes!'
Homer: "That's my lifelong dream! Let's go everyone!"
*Moe dies but not really, the A-story is completely abandoned, and they end up meeting, say, Cardi B who something something then rap-battles Marge*

I found out it was an "I don't get it" joke when I looked up the exact quote and turned up some forums discussing it. I always thought it was hilarious how they left it up to the imagination... as I read the "I don't get it" posts I couldn't help but think "This. This is the reason modern simpsons sucks so much."

Not getting the Sneed's joke kind of makes sense. The way it's done just makes it sound like it was "Chuck's Feed and Seed." I'd always just thought of it as "The joke is funny because it's a small stand out in the middle of nowhere, who would get confused by a name change?", or "It's kind of funny the original didn't rhyme."

The "I don't get it" joke I've run into the most is the "Flaming Homer" and "Flaming Moe" name joke. I've caught superfans like decades after the fact just mad at not figuring that one out.

I used to get "it". But then they changed what "it" was. Now what I get isn't "it", and what is "it" is seems weird and scary to me. And it'll happen to you....
