I wasn't sure what to expect, but I know I didn't expect a 3D model, and I also didn't expect Skinner to be rotoscoped to the extent that he was. This is really awesome work!
It's brilliant! Ham is honest and tender... he has a soul of a poet! Your very kind! Excuse me, did something expire down your throat? Er, yeah lady it's called a dead meme!
This meme started out as funny lower quality versions and it's just been slowly progressing to this point where people put so much effort into it and it becomes somewhat less funny and more like appreciating high class meme art, and I love it.
Its like a benchmark for artistic meme lords to do there rendition of Steamed Hams. Like how every musician needs to cover a classic jazz song or Love Song.

The Ace Attorney one is very good too(although it needs minimal knowledge from the actual game), one of my favorites. If interested: ua-cam.com/video/n-QtsAf9xyU/v-deo.html But the "Take on Me" video here is very nice!

I noticed it. I loved that episode. I'm only surprised more Simpsons clips haven't gone viral and become memes. The "Homer backs into the bushes" is the other big one. I would think Homer eating potato chips in space and Burns and Smithers walking through the steel doors in the passageway might've caught on too.
"You know this song is quite similar to one played by A-ha..." "Oh-ho-ho, no... vintage Duran Duran, off one of their live albums, actually." "Really? Because I've been to four Duran Duran shows and I've never heard this song." "No, not domestically, no, they only played it in Japan." "I see..."
'Duran Duran covering Alphaville's "Big in Japan" at this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen?! May I hear them?'
"Mmhmm, had to import it. Rare pressing on vinyl!" "....of a Duran Duran live album? "Yes!" "Yes... and you call it a live album despite the fact that this is *obviously* a studio track?"
keep in mind when i wrote that i was not expecting this video to get so popular and i was just trying to defend myself from the inevitable "ewwww dead meme" comments
i really really wanted to do that, but i couldnt because then there would have been no one for skinner to serve the hams to and i had no idea how to end it(i suppose i could have had morten harket replace chalmers in the ending part but that would have been so much work)
I don't care that Steamed Hams is irrelevant or a dead meme, there's so many cool and creative renditions of it that have so much care and effort put into them, I could binge watch all of them
It's still kinda sad when you bring up a dead meme(that is good and creative), some "meme experts" will flame you right away saying "hUrR dURr dEaD mEMe".

@@olliegoria this is correct, i just was trying to get the video done and i only did the bare minimum of rotoscoping/animation/whatever you want to call it needed to mashup the two original videos. if i knew the video was going to get as popular as it did i would have spent a few more weeks and did some more of my own animation, particularly for the ending which is severely lacking in the creativity department haha
@@bad_puns Oh wow, I didn’t expect a response! Good to know, you can sorta tell if you watch closely. It’s still a work of art nonetheless, and tbh I probably would have done the same, haha

@@bad_puns I read in another comment how you had considered alternative ways to end the video but would have required too much work. A simpler way this could have ended is, after Chalmers leaves and Skinner goes back in the house, the latter sees the animated sketch guy now sitting at the dinner table, showing him that he survived against the wrench-wielding bandits. Skinner smiles, the end.
"Hey me and the boys heard you made one of them low effort Steamed Hams memes." bad puns: "Oh, they were supposed to be low effort?" "bad puns, what did you do?..." bad puns: "I mayyyyyy have recreated Take On Me by A-ha almost entirely from scratch except it's Skinner."
you will never get the recognition that you deserve for this. one of the great tragedies of our time is that we have these magnificent platforms for art discovery, but masterworks such as these remain algorithmically 'locked'--technically accessible but hidden, like showroom alleys at ikea. this is amazing and i hope you know that you've enriched the lives of those who've seen this.
thank you for the kind words! honestly though i feel this video has gotten more than enough recognition (1 million views is nothing to sneeze at) and i would much rather see other less popular videos get recognized for their greatness rather than see this one get any more
Basically my reaction: 0:00 “Decent meme! It’s probably just some clever photo editing or he’s using the storyboards, but still, pretty original.” 1:00 “Okay, pretty good editing prowess, I must say. That probably took a while.” 1:17 “HOLY SHIT, this went straight to 11 in no time at all.”
@@funkydanieluk Remember, remember, the incredible luncheon, The burned ham treason and plot. I see of no reason the burned ham treason should ever be forgot
@Spyrentep it wouldnt be *quite* that many since much of it is animated on 2s, but it would still be a lot of painting. assuming you painted them all on canvas imagine how much room you would need to store all the paintings!
@@bad_puns For that is why collars exists, you make a discord where you set the rules for the paintings like canvas size, fidelity of the original source and using a classic painting art style as reference, then all the participants choose some frames and draw them, it would need at least a couple of months but it would be worth it, and now imagine if everyone agreed on keeping all the paintings in one place, as a reminder of the power of memes.
This was unbelievably good. I was expecting Steamed Hams in the visual style of the Take On Me video. I was not expecting a reproduction of the entire Take On Me video with Skinner replacing the female protagonist and for it to be done so extremely well that it actually integrates seamlessly and even, weirdly, works on an emotional level. This is just amazing.
thanks! that was actually sort of my original idea, but i scrapped it because i wanted to sync everything to the music and sort of match the flow of the music video, which wouldn't have really been possible if i stuck to the steamed hams script. as an added bonus i only had to animate the scenes that the woman was originally in, and everything else could just be used from the original music video, which saved a lot of time.
This ham is simply beyond outstanding. However, there was no frame of fire engine at the end. Thus I must rate it a 0/10 , completely unwatchable. Needs that split-second of fire engine
Chalmer: A LIVING STOP MOTION CARTOON SKETCH Skinner: yes Chalmers: LOCALISED ENTIRELY IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, AT THIS TIME OF YEAR IN YOUR KITCHEN Skinner: yes Chalmers: I see ( I might be paraphrasing here)
Steamed Hams are a rare delicacy nows adays. When you encounter a such a finely crafted meme in the wild like this, it’s important to catch it as soon as possible.
thanks! i thought of doing a mashup of the lyrics as well, but in the end i thought the music video was more important. there are so many "steamed hams but it's *insert* *song* *title* " where they autotune the lines to fit the song. some of those are quite good, but i didn't really want to make one so i did something different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think it's mainly due to the sheer potential and diversity of the steamed hams format. There are hundreds of ways it can be transformed and has been transformed, it just never ends as long as there are creative minds around
Chalmers- Good lord what is happening in there? Skinner- 1980s hit music. Chalmers- Localized entirely in your kitchen window? May I see it? Skinner - A ha
Thought this would be some charming little quick chuckle low effort meme. But this is absolutely incredible. I went from enjoying it to being gobsmacked by the seamless animation and editing. Bravo!

amount of work this must have taken
@@martinkaufmann294 did you just finish his scentence? xd
@@groots3327 it seems so :oo
@@martinkaufmann294 yes the amount of work we assume this must have taken, though we don't actually know how long it would have took.
you will never get the recognition that you deserve for this. one of the great tragedies of our time is that we have these magnificent platforms for art discovery, but masterworks such as these remain algorithmically 'locked'--technically accessible but hidden, like showroom alleys at ikea. this is amazing and i hope you know that you've enriched the lives of those who've seen this.
thank you for the kind words! honestly though i feel this video has gotten more than enough recognition (1 million views is nothing to sneeze at) and i would much rather see other less popular videos get recognized for their greatness rather than see this one get any more
It's not every day that you find a masterpiece of a meme like this. This is amazing.
*these are one of the only true masterpieces you can find on a sometimes bad website called UA-cam*
Steamed hams meme: *returns*
Me: you’re as beautiful as the day I lost you.
Humanity has achieved a perfection that is beyond our comprehension and all thanks to this man
*meanwhile I can only draw 10 stick figures and call it a video*
this is it, the singularity
this is not a meme this is art art at it's finest
Basically my reaction:
0:00 “Decent meme! It’s probably just some clever photo editing or he’s using the storyboards, but still, pretty original.”
1:00 “Okay, pretty good editing prowess, I must say. That probably took a while.”
1:17 “HOLY SHIT, this went straight to 11 in no time at all.”
hahaha glad you liked it!
Masterpiece.
Quite literally in every sense of the word.
I guess 2020 isn't that bad after all...
hahaha glad you liked it
@@bad_puns I honestly forgot that everything is absolutely fucked for a moment. Thanks
@@5amJones69 there's still lots of great things that happen you just have to look a little harder to find them
@@bad_puns like the rise of Bardcore!
True. This is really a masterpiece. 😃
Bill Oakley, the writer of the original scene, has said this was his favorite version of the meme
_I’m starting to think this meme is immortal._
You bet your ass it is
i like how semour just doesnt care about the guy that saved his life he just contines with the steamed hams meme
hahaha the unforgettable luncheon needed to get served
@@bad_puns He forgot the man, but never the luncheon
@@funkydanieluk Remember, remember, the incredible luncheon,
The burned ham treason and plot.
I see of no reason the burned ham treason should ever be forgot
Auorora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within an 80’s Music Video.
@Krigernym may I see it?

Memes don't die, they just quietly wait for their time to come again.
Its not the meme we wanted, it's the meme we needed
Memes don't die, they just excuse themselves for one second.
Correct
I can't handle this quality. Big respect.
Next: Steamed Hams but literally every frame is a painting
that would be incredible
@Spyrentep it wouldnt be *quite* that many since much of it is animated on 2s, but it would still be a lot of painting. assuming you painted them all on canvas imagine how much room you would need to store all the paintings!
@@bad_puns For that is why collars exists, you make a discord where you set the rules for the paintings like canvas size, fidelity of the original source and using a classic painting art style as reference, then all the participants choose some frames and draw them, it would need at least a couple of months but it would be worth it, and now imagine if everyone agreed on keeping all the paintings in one place, as a reminder of the power of memes.
@@juanrodriguez9971 that is an awesome idea
@Dr. Z okay so i havent heard of that movie until reading this comment so i looked it up and all i can say is wow that looks amazing
*Now we need Never Gonna Give you up Steam hams.*
Never gonna steam does hams
That's so much meme the universe would implode.
That’s the best idea anybody’s ever had since using mainly spoons to dig a tunnel under the city and then releasing a kid into the wild.
Never gonna give you up, by Rick Hamly
*N O R M I E R O L L E D*
This was unbelievably good. I was expecting Steamed Hams in the visual style of the Take On Me video. I was not expecting a reproduction of the entire Take On Me video with Skinner replacing the female protagonist and for it to be done so extremely well that it actually integrates seamlessly and even, weirdly, works on an emotional level. This is just amazing.
thanks! that was actually sort of my original idea, but i scrapped it because i wanted to sync everything to the music and sort of match the flow of the music video, which wouldn't have really been possible if i stuck to the steamed hams script. as an added bonus i only had to animate the scenes that the woman was originally in, and everything else could just be used from the original music video, which saved a lot of time.
Not gonna lie. This made me tear up. Pure masterpiece.
^ Imagine explaining this comment, about this video, to one of the original Simpsons writers
This ham is simply beyond outstanding.
However, there was no frame of fire engine at the end.
Thus I must rate it a 0/10 , completely unwatchable.
Needs that split-second of fire engine
i am never going to live this one down am i
bad puns No
Im sure someone got fired for that blunder
@@bad_puns no

Skinner: yes
Chalmers: LOCALISED ENTIRELY IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, AT THIS TIME OF YEAR IN YOUR KITCHEN
Skinner: yes
Chalmers: I see
( I might be paraphrasing here)
The person who drew this and edited it should deserve a knighting by the queen. This is pure gold!
This is it.
Memes have peaked.
We'll never get one better than this.
It’s good to know there are still people keeping this meme alive
God speed
Don't you mean... GOD STEAM!?
Still my favorite meme
This meme was amazing. It required a shred of talent so it was never really milked and it died an honorable death and I still watch them to this day
*_A-ham_*
Steamed Hams are a rare delicacy nows adays. When you encounter a such a finely crafted meme in the wild like this, it’s important to catch it as soon as possible.
This version of the meme is absolutely worthy enough to be put into the history books
The way this meme has progressed is truly a sight to behold... it's honestly kind of inspiring.
"Dear Lord what is A-ha over there!"
“ . . . The Living Daylights?”
This is one of the most innovative adaptations of the meme. Bravo.
thanks!
see the one with a lot of screens at different speeds Synced at the moment Skinner says Steamed Hams...... beautiful.
I think it IS the most innovative adaptations of this meme. At least that I've seen. This is brilliant.
See ya in 5 years when this gets recommended to everyone
Making History.
you are about 5 years too early
Me four!!!
The fact that this has more effort put into it than I'll ever put into anything is just incredible
Wow, I expected just for there to be a mashup of the lyrics. I didn't expect a full music video! Great job!
thanks! i thought of doing a mashup of the lyrics as well, but in the end i thought the music video was more important. there are so many "steamed hams but it's *insert* *song* *title* " where they autotune the lines to fit the song. some of those are quite good, but i didn't really want to make one so i did something different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I imagine the reason this came out now is that it took 2 years to make
The Skinner 3D Model had me dying of both laughter and fear.

I know a lot of people get creative with steamed hams memes but this is just... amazing.
I purposely dont say this often, but I will it here.
This.....is a masterpiece.
steamed hams meme: *doesn't die after a month*
other memes: is it possible to learn this power?
I think it's mainly due to the sheer potential and diversity of the steamed hams format. There are hundreds of ways it can be transformed and has been transformed, it just never ends as long as there are creative minds around
Probably because it was actually funny
It is because of how complex and work intensive the memes are. A lot of these projects take months to complete.

You mean im not the only one who collects these?
Yours is longer than mine :(
Thought this would be some charming little quick chuckle low effort meme. But this is absolutely incredible. I went from enjoying it to being gobsmacked by the seamless animation and editing. Bravo!
