cheerful and kind-hearted Ralph Wiggum believes he turns into a rampaging bloodthirsty conqueror every time he falls asleep somehow this prospect excites him e : im pretty sure the correlating factor is actually "people who have once dreamed of being a viking" vs not Excelzior fucked around with this message at 20:43 on May 23, 2022 |

Since I started that detail last time, let me try to end it: The line is 100% intended to say that Ralph either dreams of being a Viking or I guess believes he literally transforms into one - these are effectively the same idea with the only difference being one of metaphysical belief. The writers have confirmed the dream interpretation as being the intention behind the line. The idea that "that's where I'm a Viking" could mean "I'm good at that" is widespread but tends to inspire strong reactions in those who did not have that interpretation. There is confusion about that line because it's a very weird thing to say, it's an odd phrasing no matter the meaning. It's also not that funny, which is why I think people search for other meanings.

The line is actually "900 DOLLARS INTO...!?" as he was reading the phone bill categories and got interrupted mid-sentence by the comically large amount. Any who hears "dollarydoos" (not even a real loving word btw) or "dollars in dues" (i don't know where to begin with this one) clearly lack the social skills to interpret even the briefest interruption of a sentence. Jesus you people are dense.

I always thought it was "900 dollars in June" referring to the month when Tobias accepted the call.
