Earlier this year The Simpsons‘ writer Bill Oakley shared the original draft to the infamous Seymour Skinner/Superintendent Chalmers “steamed hams” luncheon. Not only was it a great inside look into the making of the sequence, it renewed interest in one of the show’s best moments from its earlier seasons. (Yeah, season seven qualifies as “early” for a show that’s been on almost three decades). But we don’t mean people are merely re-watching it and enjoying it all over again, we’re talking about how it has becomes the internet’s best meme. And they are unforgettable.
Fans have started editing the scene in the style of famous movies, shows, and video game, like this one that presents it as a Blade Runner movie.
There’s the one edited in the style of the original Dragon Ball Z.
This is the story all about how Seymour Skinner’s lunch got burnt, flipped upside down.
Things really catch fire in this one inspired by Metal Gear Solid.
What’s a steamed ham though? It’s just a tasty burger.
Like your steamed hams served as a novel adventure game? Then this Ace Attorney one is for you.
But really what is this scene if not a battle between two fierce combatants. Seymour Skinner I choose you!
The key to any good lie is hitting the right note.
You can even sit down to a meal of French New Wave.
Superintendent Chalmers thought he was going to be eating steamed clams. He was not.
If you are tired of seeing Skinner and Chalmers faces and yadda yadda yadda you want to see something else, you can even get the scene via another classic sitcom.
Of course at this point Steamed Hams is so old that it happened a long, long time ago in a kitchen far, far away…
But if you think a Star Wars crossover is peak internet, you forgot that only one pop culture reference can be the true meme “All Star.”
Hmm, mouth-watering Smash Mouth. Now that’s a good steamed ham meme.
