Can you help me understand the sneed’s feed and seed joke from the simpsons? I’ve heard the shop’s former owner is named chuck but idk what that has to do with anything.- Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this.

The joke is a play on words with the name of the store: Sneed's Feed and Seed. When read quickly or said out loud, it sounds like "Sneed's Feeds and Seeds" which is a typical name for a farm supply store.
However, the joke comes in when you read the actual name of the store again: "Sneed's Feed and Seed". If you say it out loud slowly, it sounds like "Sneed's [Expletive] and Seed". The expletive is a slang term for male genitalia, so the punchline of the joke is a play on the hidden meaning in the name of the store.
As for the Chuck reference, it's just a name that rhymes with "Sneed" and is used in the famous line from the episode, "Chuck's the man to see for all your plant-related needs!" It's just a silly little addition to the joke.
