His brand of gum- Doublemint. Trying to double your fun, eh, Bart? Well, I’ll double your detention. I wish someone was around to hear that.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Skinner links Doublemint and doubling the fun to a declaration that he will double Bart’s detention, then wishes someone had heard his wordplay. The declaration and wish do not establish that the punishment is imposed or that an audience is present.
