I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
The sad part about that quote is that I've seen the Pannenkoek video and Steamed Hams parodies so many times that I was able to type that with almost no reference to the original material. I did have to look at steamed hams a couple times but I have almost the entire script memorized. So if you're feeling shame because you understood and laughed at that, imagine the shame I feel having typed it.

I can't speak to someone who hasn't seen it before because Golden Age Simpsons was a big part of my childhood. With that said it's funny to me because it was already a cute bit of escalating, almost vaudeville absurdity with weirdly quotable lines that has proven unbelievably versatile in its ability to be remixed to the point where these 20 year-old punchlines are completely fresh and the fact that they seem fresh only compounds the hilarity. I don't expect anyone who wasn't a childhood fan to "get that" though because whenever I stop and think about it like this, it's really kind-of sad in a "chimp laugh pretty colors" way.

Well, like most comedy scenes, it's funnier if you watch it than if you don't... But unlike most Simpsons scenes, there is literally no other context to it, the scene stands alone.

It helps to know what Skinner and Chalmers' relationship is like in the show prior to watching it, but even that's not really necessary. Vaudeville is about right -- it's just an absurdist back-and-forth like you might see in Abbott and Costello, and if you don't find it funny your brain is probably busted.

Yeah the article that Big Grunty Secret posted points out that the first few lines of the sketch pretty much encapsulates their entire relationship in just a few words:

quote:

CHALMERS
Well, Seymour, I made it - despite your directions.

SKINNER
Ah, Superintendent Chalmers. Welcome. I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable luncheon.
Skinner is an incompetent suck up who still thinks he's clever and charming, Chalmers is his annoyed superior who only barely puts up with his poo poo.

I mean it's amusing, but the internet sure is obsessed with it lately. I watched Simpsons enough to know the characters and everything, but infrequently enough that I honestly couldn't tell if this was an example of the peak or nadir of The Simpsons.

Anyway here's some content:

Peak.

It sounds weird to make an objective assessment of quality, and I admit I have my biases, but when you lay out all the episodes end to end you can see a steady shift in quality around the start of Season 9. It isn't a hard switch, which is why some fans quibble, but I honestly don't think they've done any research because the episode list really does speak for itself. The average dips and by the end of Season 10 is trenched firmly in "crap" territory.

Yes I know it's sad to know/care this much but I spent the time researching so I'm going to use it.

It's remixed so much because it's easy to remix. It's about the right length, the phrase "steamed hams" is funny, and the characters are strongly expressed and they do a number of wacky things.

It's not my favorite scene in the Simpsons by a long shot, but I like it a lot.

Say Watt?

Half the reason why Steamed Hams works so well to riff on is that it's a short story. It's a full skit. No starting out of nowhere without context and no abrupt ends. You can twist and warp it into the most bizarre and abstract humour but at its core it's telling a little tale.

It's remixed so often because people decided that a repeated setup leading into references to other things you may have heard of is entertainment. It is the new millennium's "how many X does it take to screw in a light bulb" joke and just about as amusing.

The worst part about me spending 20 minutes typing up a steamed hams parody at 2am is that I never watched more than like 3 episodes of the Simpsons; I only know anything about it from memes.

The first 9 or 10 seasons are basically peak TV and a lot of it is available on Youtube although often cut up into tiny bits.


Watch those seasons and then just stop and pretend it got cancelled and you'll have a much deeper understanding of the memes.

Real tohugh, but I doubt you would be 'lolling' at his crossed eyes and huge man titties, if you were a child who was being raped by him.



Dog Jones posted:

Ummm a red title is a strange way of saying "thanks dog jones for a solid joke". Its more like a way of saying "I loving hate you dog jones. I want you to pay money for making a joke, I hope your posts about only being able to afford to eat a hot dog every evening are true so you starve because of your joke. I hope you werent making another joke when you said the only way u can warm the dogs up is to put them in your boot you walked in all day, that way maybe you will die of beef poisoning."

WEll its your lucky day because its all true, I really do sit here and eat a sweaty foot hot dog and try not to think about it by posting a jokes. Wow nice flame, you are trying to kil me and are bound to succeed. Come on out and take a bow and show your face, get ready for some golden manbabies as everyone rushes to be first to be the poster who wants to say that its good I am going to die.

Dog Jones posted:

Uhhh the reason they did that is cos I now to get my avatar back I have to spend my own 10 dollar bill (or bills? so poor I do not know if they make bills that large. )

I have to hand it to this fucker, he knows exacly the way to troll me -- making me poor and killing me of no dogs to eat. Furthermore, without my avatar, my patreon money is gonna hit 0 so there goes my dog money much less any $$$ for fixing the avatar. This guy doesnt gently caress around when it comes to flaming.

I would be proud if the joke brought laughter to others. Instead, the joke brought on a torrent of cruelty and hatred, the likes of which is unpreceedneted even for my trolls, and enemies. Consider:


GOLDEN GOON: Hahah, its funny how it surprises you with "besides pedophilia" at the end, consider that pedophilia is a heinous crime. This comedy is helping me overcome my own problems from my childhood abuse. I just appreciate the effort to write such a well crafted joke, so Ill definiteliy contirbute to this user's patreon, maybe quote them with a lol, or a haha, so they know they are hitting my funny bone too.

Wow, Im guessing this is how a sociopath like you takes enjoyment in telling me my post was bad? Your idea of a funny troll is Hannibal Lectre mind games? Its ironic that you should do the opposite and make LESS cruel jokes, in my opinion.


Wow thanks for the advice, which isnt really advice one bit, and is actually just another new layer of ownage you felt was missing. Make the joke funnier ? Are you sure I shouldnt make a joke with an even higher financial penality? You must relaly think Im a dumb rear end mtoherfucker.

Im really sorry if you werent trolling and were making a post of advice, thank you for your help. It is getting ahrd to tell what is real -- thats how hard I am getting owned

Dog Jones posted:

I loving loved to get owned with this one. Imagine how bad you would gently caress me up on the boards If i took ten bucks out of yourt wallet and said you were a drug addict if you said that was BS. You would flame me off the boards and I would be called a genocidal bigot. but when you say it to me in the middle of one of the most humiliating compelte motherfucking blow outs in goon history, goon scientists are already busy craftinjg some flames to build on your theory. What drug am I addicted to? Cum ? Maybe poo poo? It would hurt my feelings to say im such a loving stupid rear end hole I actualy pay money to drink cum, as goons well know, so I wont even be surprised when we get to taht level of trolling me.

Dog Jones posted:

Goons will LOL for years straight at the fact that I never have had 10 dollars at once due to the complexity of managing that number of dollars, making it a medically impossible amount of dollars for me -- probably someone will read that and be inpired to invent a new way to call me a stupid dick head.

But next level trolling is a goon meet to watch me enjoy the shame of wasting a bank professionals time with a pathetic 5 dollar banking action, strangers saying to me in the open about how i look stupid clutching the bills straight out in fornt of me in a tight fist. And then the pretty bank professional lady says it loud enough for everyone to hear that I counted the dollars wrong anyway. Wow no one but dog jones makes mistakes. This was the first time in bank history that someone came in with not even close to 5 dollars.

Dog Jones posted:

Hehe, I can see why you might think this, considering how weird those posts were.

If i have hallucinogens I am either doing that or I head down to the grocery store for some real life posting... yeah.
