Why does everyone on this group like this line so much? Has it got some hidden reference that I haven't found?

I'll explain, fellows:

It's the use of the word "my".

You see, here in the states everyone is issued a "wookie" as they enter kindergarten. It is quite common for a 5 or 6-year old to misplace their wookie. When this occurs, schoolyard bullies and ruffians make it their point to find said wookie and to "bend" it. Fear not, a wookie can easily be reshaped!

Typically, the wookie is then anonymously returned to the original owner with a note saying simply, "I bent YOUR wookie".

To hear Ralph say "I bent my wookie" is simply a delicious play on words that works on so many different levels.

My sarcasm detector is broken..... Was there any sarcasm in that?

If not, what the hell is a wookie?

Either that's a joke, or someone hasn't been paying much attention for the past 26 years.

Oh, pardon me, jackass, I thought he was referring to his figurine of a wookie with which (among others) he had just one first prize in the school contest. What a damn stupid idiot I am.

It's "Wookiee," you knobs. They come from the planet Kashyyyk. And yes, dingleberries are often a problem with their species.
