Colin Jacobsson of DVD Movie Guide wrote that , even though Grampa is " essentially a one-joke personality , " " those gags tend to be pretty fun . " He concluded his review by writing that the episode was " a likable program . " Despite the mixed responses , the episode features one of the " most used little clips " of the series . The scene shows Grampa getting his driver 's license . Instead of taking a photo for the license on the spot , Grampa suggests that Selma , who works in the facility , use a photo of him from a newspaper headline that reads " Old man yells at cloud . " Selma agrees , and Grampa , holding his newly acquired license , goes up to a window and yells " Who 's laughing now ? " at a cloud . A still from the scene has been used several times on '' The Daily Show '' . Both Malkowski of DVD Verdict and Jacobsson of DVD Movie Guide considered it to be the best part of the episode . After Clint Eastwood 's speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention , which featured Eastwood talking to an empty chair representing President Barack Obama , a modified version of the image with the caption , " Old man yells at chair " , was used in an internet meme
