Steamed Hams

I like how he says Aurora Borealis without even waiting a second.

He was right. This was an unforgettable luncheon.

“Good Lord, what is happening in there?!” I love how Skinner doesn’t even hesitate, just says “Aurora Borealis”

watching this when we can see the aurora borealis from our kitchen window after having burgers for dinner is iconic honestly

I love how he's clever enough to improv his way out, but he's still dumb enough to not think about turning off the oven

Localised entirely within your kitchen? Yes may I see it? No

This aged well, because the Aurora lights are actually everywhere tonight.

in 2018, i was a 13 year old boy from china who had just moved to the US with family, in a completely new environment. new school, new home, new internet, new people around me, and i was struggling to adjust because my english was terrible and i knew little about the western culture. i opened youtube for the first time to try and figure out what was popular over here, and i dug into the hole of memes. since i was lonely and didn't have much friends, i spent most of my time on this side of youtube, enjoying all the memes and ytps that were popular back then. but among all of them, the steamed hams meme stood out to me as incredibly funny, and i loved watching all the edits, even memorized the script of the original simpsons clip somehow. 4 years later, almost 5, life has changed and i now feel happy and at home here, but i always look back at the steamed hams meme with a smile because it kept me laughing when life was hard.

I doubt the Simpsons creators realized just how unforgettable of a luncheon this would turn out to be.

I love how he actually thinks about letting Chalmers see the "Aurora borealis" before saying no, as if he forgot that was a blatant lie

Krusty Burgers with champagne in fluted glasses. Truly, an unforgettable luncheon.

watching this while aurora borealis is sort of visible in my back yard

Skinner is actually very relatable in this skit, because I too would rather let my house burn down than admit I made a mistake to someone important I was trying to impress.

As absurd as Skinner's plan was, he technically DOES get away with it.

What an unforgettable luncheon, Chalmers only got 3 bits of his hamburger and he is already full xD

Nothing will ever beat this show in it's prime

Another underrated part of this scene: Skinner struggles to answer questions about the "steamed hams," then IMMEDIATELY is able to concoct the Aurora Borealis story.

Despite the oddness of Seymour's response, I love how genuinely Chalmers becomes interested in seeing the aurora borealis

In honor of The Northern Lights last night
