Because kaboose was close to saying ass and how it was delivered. It came out of nowhere, plus it was the 70s.

You can say it now, but you couldn't say it back then. You could reference it then, like so many shows did

Ass Not too many people use a slang word for ass, they'll just say ass.

While listening and watching Sherman throughout the years, I have never noticed an accent.

And I'm telling you that an accent is not the reason people laughed. It was just a funny joke.
