I find it so funny because instead of being disgusted or horrified Homer is just so calm about the whole thing and even gave one of the possibly disease infested possoms such a kiddish nickname.

Oh, is that it? I guess I just never found it that funny. Since it's always praised as a great joke, and Matt Groening said it's his favorite joke of the whole series, I thought there might be more to it that I wasn't catching.

It is, at least as I've interpreted it, one of those random Ralphish jokes only I never found this one particularly funny myself. It really supports the idea that Ralph was just supposed to be a small Homer though.
Homer - Oh i'm sick of this Tarzan movie!
Lisa - Dad it's a dcoumentary on the homeless
and
Marge: Have you noticed any change in Bart?
Homer: New glasses?
Marge: No...he looks like something might be disturbing him.
Homer: Probably misses his old glasses.
Marge: I guess we could get more involved in Bart's activities but then
I'd be afraid of smothering him.
Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair.
Marge: That's not what I meant.
Homer: It was, Marge, admit it.
and
Smithers - Sir? You wern't shot. It was all a dream
Mr. Burns - That's right the year is 1965 and you and i are undercover detectives for the hot rod circuit. NOW LET'S BURN RUBBER BABY!
SPEEDWAY SQAUD. IN COLOUR!

“We're all gonna die!”

"He can't hear you now, we had to pack his ears with gauze"
From "The Cartridge Family":
"And this one is for shooting down police helicopters"
"Oh, I don't need anything like that....yet"
"I'd kill you if I had my gun"
"Yeah, well, you don't"

I also love the bit in "Citizen Kang" where Homer bursts into the room to tell people of Kang and Kodos' plans, and when the ushers close in on him, he grabs the American flag to defend himself, he gets thrown out, and after he gets thrown out the usher pokes his head out the door, says "Don't forget your stinking flag!", and throws the flag out after him.
Rex Banner: Are you the Beer Baron?
Ned: Well, if you're talking about root beer, I plead guil-diddly-ilty as char-diddly-arged.
Rex Banner: (To Eddie and Lou) He's not the Baron. But he sounds drunk. Bring him in!
[Next, he grabs Comic Book Guy]
Rex Banner: Are you the Baron?
Comic Book Guy: Yes, but only by night. By day, I'm a mild-mannered reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper.
Rex Banner: Don't crack wise with me, tubby!
Comic Book Guy: "Tubby?" (looking at his ample gut) Oh, yes. "Tubby."

Forgot this one:

*Homer's Norwegian sneeze* "Oh, great, I've caught their cold." (Coming to Homerica)

Homer collapsing in the background after Lisa tears up Mr. Burns' check in "The Old Man and the Lisa" kills me every time too

Slumberland for sure. Years later I was reminded of that dream sequence from "Lisa gets a Pony" and burst out laughing.
