The joke is a subtle one. Krusty tells Bart and Lisa he used to co-own a race horse with Bette Midler. The horse is a portmanteau of their names, "Krudler". This is clever because it preemptively subverts any expectation of what it's name would be before the audience even considers the possibility it would be a portmanteau. "Why wouldn't it be a good combination of their names like 'Betty' or 'Betsy'," you think to yourself as you mull the name over for the next few seconds during the boring plot exposition that follows.

The show will still be running long after anyone who saw them when they first air has died and the existence of "the prime seasons" of the Simpsons are just a legend that few still believe ever actually were.

Every other character on the screen should be asking, "where's Chuck?"

Chuck is dead, his livelihood and life's work hastily taken over and rebranded. The joke is the ephemeral mortality of Man; try though we might, we cannot escape the conqueror worm, and one day all our works will be naught.

Also the rhyming in Sneed's Feed & Seed, if copied over to Chuck's, would be Chuck's gently caress & Suck, which is also funny. But mostly the memento mori thing.

It's true and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
It might also be a double entendre, as "seed" is sometimes used to mean "semen". Pretty clever imo.

You put seeds into a feed. ...I'm not sure how much simpler it can be explained!

Don't feel ashamed, there is no requirement for a rhyming scheme in store names! Degenerate perverts use their vile imaginations to twist God's own farm supply stores into wicked sinful dens of lust. Truly, such a rural American community wouldn't tolerate such a flagrantly immoral and illegal storefront. The very idea is so laughable that joke can only be a total failure. Maybe in Commifornia where whores pedal their wares so openly could this "joke" be written. Springfield Middle America? Unthinkable.

I don’t get what the joke is supposed to be here. Chuck’s feed and seed?

Chuck liked to molest the neighbors and got lynched. Now, they only reference him as a joke.

It's a call back to S1 E2 where the neighborhood kids all got abducted and eaten.

this is how cannabis dispensaries worked before legalization, op. you couldn't just put "weed store" in the sign or the cops would show up, so instead you'd use a bunch of words that rhyme with weed, so that those in the know, know where to go.. but johnny law thinks it's just a farm supply store.

this is called dog whistling. or, in some part of the country, speaking easy (which is why these establishments are also called "speakeasies"). in any case, the point of the scene is simply informing us where homer simpson purchases his cannabis products.

another possibility is that chuck and sneed are the same person. chuck had the idea that if he changed his name to one that rhymed with feed and seed, it would stick in people's heads and help his business grow. at first he couldn't think of such a name, but then he just decided to make one up, and better yet he came up with a funny sounding one like "sneed", which is so provocative that it was featured in an episode of the simpsons and is still being discussed by the intelligentsia here today, a half century later.

Or maybe it just didn't occur to Chuck Sneed to use his last name instead of his first in the name of his store until one of his relatives brought it up
