This joke is definitely a bit too high brow for "The Lockhorns". Lockhorns humor comes from fundamental observations about modern life and human nature. There is no need for references or allusions no matter how simple they are. Loretta crashing the car because she's a woman driver? Fine. Leroy not getting along with his mother-in-law? Great. Some fossilized general joke about going to the dentist's office? Wonderful. But, this "Hamlet" referencing joke just isn't "The Lockhorns." There are many other simpler ways that Leroy could have been portrayed as an uncouth philistine without bringing the Bard into it. The push's the thing .Official Count:
Leroy - 20
Loretta - 33
Push - 25
Loretta - 33
Push - 25
