The scene has been a popular reference point for fans, who have re-contextualized quotes from the skit making it the frequent subject of shitposting on Facebook and YouTube. With the entire Simpsons back catalog soon to drop on Disney+, it's likely that the meme will experience a resurgence over the coming months, and fans might even discover new scenes to rework and mutilate for the internet's amusement. 'Steamed Hams' is a memorable skit between Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers on the animated sitcom The Simpsons. The trend seems to have originated on dedicated Simpsons meme pages, and the creativity of some versions then carried Skinner and his Steamed Hams over into the mainstream. There's overblown visual comedy, black humor, satire, musical gags and slick one-liners, all centered around the inherent desperation of Seymour Skinner as a character.Īs is the case with most of the internet's top memes, however, it's not entirely clear why the Steamed Hams scene in particular was singled out for an eternity of wacky reedits.

Undoubtedly, the skit is an iconic part of Simpsons canon and, in many ways, contains all the ingredients that first earned the series worldwide renown. It does NOT taste like ham (yuck) but LIKE.
Popular examples include melding the sketch with Guitar Hero, auto-tuning the lines to an instrumental of Green Day's "Basket Case" and having Skinner's dialogue read out by Jeff Goldblum. ‘Steamed Hams’ means burgers, and the brewers and I have extensively taste-tested this beer to be the perfect accompaniment to your own hamburger. The 'Steamed Hams but.' meme largely exists on YouTube, where savvy video editors have remixed the scene in all manner of creative ways.
