- Or: Steamed Hams but the Aurora Borealis is real
(Read more below!)
Chasing Lights Tour Guides Neil (Superintendent Gary Chalmers) and Thomas (Principal Seymour Skinner) headed out to reenact the famous "Steamed Hams" sketch from the episode "22 Short Films About Springfield" (S:7/E:21). The song played when the Northern Lights are dancing is from the ending scene of the fantastic episode "Mother Simpson" (S:7/E:8).
We recorded in and around our office in Tromsø, Norway. The outside scenes were shot near the village Rekvik on the island of Kvaløya, just over an hour outside Tromsø.
The Aurora Borealis made a spectacular appearance, just as the kitchen caught fire.
No mothers were hurt in the making of this video.

I love how Norwegian Chalmers could not see the Aurora Borealis until he was given permission despite the fact they are under the night sky with no roof or obstruction whatsoever.
The framing of it only on Seymour’s side earlier in the video was a nice touch
The Norwegians are always so polite.
The fact they took a table and chairs and a full tray of hamburgers (sorry, steamed hams) all the way into remote Norway at night in the middle of winter is amazing.
if it's winter in Tromso then it could be the day, just no sun
All of that work just for a creative spin on a meme. Absolute chads
Don’t forget the recording equipment!
Thatr's what i call commitment
Wait, you don't do that?
The secret ending when you 100% complete Steamed Hams
This needed a reply three years ago. I’m sorry help took so long to come.
Funny!
@@Jkdabomb10A sorry, I couldn't reply, I was in the bathroom.
@@Jkdabomb10A I, too, am here now. I was too busy grilling some steamed hams myself which held me up.
"Yes."
What
I love how this implies Seymour’s house is just the front wall of a house and a door in the middle of Norway and he has a survivalist lifestyle other than that
his windowsill is a big rock
That's how they build houses in Norway.
Well he was an Army Green Barrette so surviving the wild shouldn't be too hard for him.
That's it. The meme has been perfected. There is nothing more that can be done with it.
yet still, people seem to find a way XD
@@MouseGoat
I know. Have you seen the two-parter where skinner goes completely nuts because his mother died in the fire?
Edit: found a link

Edit again: the second part has disappeared, but here is both together as a single video: czcams.com/video/S1emjzo6rBY/video.html
Watch the Australian version
Agreed. Now let us never speak of this again.
Aurora Australis
“May I see it?”
“Yes!”
*The good ending*
Maybe the real Aurora Borealis’s were the steamed hams we ate along the way
Despite the fact that they were obviously grilled.
Maybe the real steamed hams, were the friends we ate along the way.
@@NoThisIsPatrick.. Mmm....steamed friends.
@@NoThisIsPatrick.. you might even say we... Ate Üter!
Quite literally. The methane from the farts we made from eating the steamed hams produced the aurora borealis dream like effects
Thanks for 500,000 views and the many great comments! We're happy to see how this meme lives on and that our video still brings joy to all Steamed Hams and Aurora Borealis fans.
Hope to see you in Tromsø,
Thomas (Skinner) and the team at Chasing Lights
thank you for your video! I recently found this meme and thought "It would be cool if somebody done something like this with real worthen lights" and you actually did it 4 years ago! This is absolutely brilliant😊
You guys did an amazing job with this, the 500,000 views are well deserved I'd say, how about 500,000 more?
Cheers from another country that sees Northern Lights semi-frequently, Iceland!
I've been to Tromsø and Longyearbyen in Svalbard before! Probably the best vacation I've had in years!
This is the best advertising I've seen in years well done
yippee 👍
Love that they use the song when Homer looks at the night sky when his mother left.
Beutiful
It was. Such a sad moment 😥
@@BlueJWay999 that shit makes me choke up every damn time...
I didn't notice!
I felt beauty and sadness at the same time, really the best part
Every moment grilled to perfection and then they threw in the firetruck frame as a gag. Loved it.
Pure hilarity
@@illbeV Pure Homer
don't you mean Steamed?
@@yeetionary Ah you must be from Albany
The amount of effort people put in for one meme is fucking astonishing
All completely worth it.
Its not really that much effort, they live quite near the vicinity of all they needed for this good joke, but its not amazing. You meme people just see a meme or rather a meme tribute and think its the best thing in the history of the entirety of the universe.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar Yes!
I mean it's been filmed and edited very well, probably at least a few full days work, if not a week. That's more effort than a lot of people I know put into their actual day jobs.
@@dahui58 It is good advertisement for their store :D
I may be 4 years too late to have seen this but I'm glad you guys made this! Excellent upload!
I don't know how I missed it four years ago, but I'm in the same boat of belated appreciation

This went from hilarious to wholesome in the most gentle of heartbeats.
Well done. ❤️
I don't even know you but I'm sure you're a jerk
Hey I've only been here a few minutes, what's going on?
i love the music from the ending of the episode with homer's mother.
"Seymour! the SKY is on fire!"
"no mother, it's just the northern lights"
Being born in Tromso and having left Norway at such a young age, it's insane how beautiful my country is. I shall return.
This meme is official done now. There's no way this can ever be surpassed.
And yet it has happened:
czcams.com/video/xoAlZX0VJos/video.html
The only way would be by having the actual actors reenact the scene in that location.

@@ThePowerLover how did you manage to perfect perfection?

It feels like after years of watching these videos I've finally found it. The good ending. I am now content.

" I did a thing" did a bit better. He had Aurora borailas entirely within his kitchen
I can't believe they made the Northern Lights from the Steamed Hams meme into a real thing
What I love most about this reenactment of the Steamed Hams meme is, that they managed to execute the gestures of Skinner & Chalmers to perfection. I laughed so hard at 1:02.
And I thought this meme couldn't get any better...What I fool I've been....lol
Well done guys.
The best gesture is when the guy copies Skinners stammering before running into the kitchen.
This meme always gets better
I must say they are odd fellows but they steam a good Simpsons clip.
I was thinking the exact same thing when he did rhat
The firetruck for a split second at the end, they really got it
"May I see it?"
"...Yes!"

This is a masterpiece. Where had it been hiding for the past two years?
You know it's good because it includes the firetruck.
Well Chasing Lights, you are an odd tour guide, but I must say. . . you steam a good ham.
This alternate, cut ending is beautiful. This is the ending to the episode they should have gone with.
steamed hams but it's literally aurora borealis
The delivery of Chalmers line at 2:08 is perfection. Lauging so hard
I didn't think a funny meme could make me cry. Nature is beautiful.
Shows how much time people have on their hands today lol
....you cried at a CZcams meme?
I almost cry.
@@subasurf that’s how you know it’s a good one boy
The nordic places may be cold as fuck but they're absolutely gorgeous
Wait… these legends have only uploaded this one masterpiece? I thought for sure they continuously release bangers based on this video quality alone
The meme is done. No way to top this. Also, I'm booking a trip!
I hope it was fun considering its been like 2 years unless your still waiting which would be seriously surprising

They’re still being made.

I just wanted to make clear that the video is not the peak of the meme.
Memes aside, the sight of two guys eating hamburgers on a nicely dressed table in the mountains under one of one of Nature's most majestic wonders is really funny.
Eating fast food burgers?
At this time of day?
Outside of any building?
In these mountains?
Under an aurora borealis?
On a dinner table?
Localized entirely in this CZcams video?
@@whoknows4780 Yes!
"good lord what is happening in there!?"
"uh... aurora borealis?"
"I mean, at least you're right"
CZcams algorithm care to tell me why it took four years for me to see this masterpiece
Best Steamed Hams parody, hands down.
hams down.
In Tromsø, the sun never rises during the winter. Tromsø is in an area of the arctic circle where the sun just barely touches the horizon for a couple hours in a day, making it seem forever night time, 24/7.
It really was at that time of year
At that time of day
At that part of the country
Localized entirely within your 'kitchen'
Yes!
@@aladushek2124 may i see it?
@@hakr4751 Yes!
This was amazing! The guy playin Skinner has the mannerisms down perfect and the guy who plays Chalmers delivers the lines SO DAMN WELL
This is beautiful, goes above and beyond the call of meme duty, and is SEVERELY underviewed and underrated
Hamburgers with fries and water under the Northern Lights? Such a nice time to be having.
The Aurora Borealis part is really beautiful.
Was thinking before getting on CZcams how nice it would be to see two random Norwegian tour guides re-enacting Steamed Hams at the Northern Lights. And by God here it is!
0:20 The light in the distance is the local Krusty Burger.
I imagine a fleet of drakkars landing on an storm-battered coast, burly bearded men with horned helmets and battle axes pouring out, their leader steps forwards, brandishes his axe towards the heavens, and screams"Seeeeeeeeyyyyymooooouuuurrrr!"
Well that's it after 4 years I finally completed Steamed Hams, worth the ending.
WHY DID YOU USE THE MUSIC FROM THE CREDITS TO MOTHER SIMPSON
My heart wasn't ready
"May I see it?"
.....
"Yes."
*you unlocked the good ending*
This is a brilliant advertisement.
Thank you for leaving the firetruck in at the end. So many steamed hams videos forget.
Finally Supernintendo Chalmers dream come true
Crying. T_T
Did that child just say "What's a battle"?
The most beautiful part about this video is that they left the firetruck at the end. *Chef's kiss*
The guy standing on his tiptoes when he says "welcome" is a hillarious touch 😂
Why did this slip under my radar for four years?? Great initiative, guys.
Steamed hams but superintendent Chalmers is played by thor the god of lightning
I am blown away by the dedication.
Making this meme a reality truly is a great form of honor for it.
You made my day.
It's beautiful.
I've looked at this for 5 hours now.
And to think I have been in that exact spot in Tromso in 2018!
OK. This was definitely "high concept" and "abstract" but I couldn't stop watching it. It had one thing that conceptual art never had that makes it worth the trip: a beautiful and majestic payoff. Thank you.
Wonderful kitchen you have there
Lol 2:28 the beautiful ending we never knew we’d get
Steamed Hams but it has viking accent.
"Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!"

Holy Mother of God, this is it. Good job, guys.
It got recommend to me 4 years later but boy did you give me such a majestic view ❤️. Thanks, lad.
The memes they're transcending reality!
Best recreation ever.
I genuinely smiled with a sense of joy when Skinner said "yes" and they watched the lights.
Greetings from India. I have always wanted to see auroras. You guys are really lucky. Requesting you to share more of these with rest of the world via CZcams.
Why does this don't have more views? And why is YT recommending this until now?! It's perfect 😭
This should have more views.
This gloriously wonderful recreation meme!
Love it!
i was like" this is cringe" then "this is actaully funny" then "omg this is done so well" and THEN "why am i crying so much!" i legit balled my eyes out. one of the saddest moments in tv history when homer says good bye to his mum. thank you for this video!
I can’t believe they travelled all the way to the actual Northern Lights to film this. 😂
I'm guessing these lucky sods are local.
@@Pining_for_the_fjords They actually lead tours there as their day job, I guess.
Worth it
I love how the Fire track is now canon in this meme even though it's just the original uploader poorly trimming the video. 10/10, a good time was had by all.
LMFAO
Oh man that music cue from Mother Simpson
The lengths you went to make this joke come full circle were totally worth it
While the other versions feel like a strange LSD trip this one is just genius
The acting, pacing, tone and composition of shots are an absolute 10/10
They did all the timing and everything so well and earned the good ending!
Absolutely late but peak hilarity, this is THE ONE. The gestures, tones, and inflections are perfect!
The thing I love most about this is that he must’ve run a very long way to find fast food.
rewatched this video again today. honestly, the shots of the aurora borealis were absolutely stunning and beautiful, it's a shame that cameras cannot capture its full majestic nature, but you guys did a fantastic job at capturing it regardless.
that said, i love the attention and dedication to recreating the meme by including the firetruck snippet at the end
how does this not have a million views yet? that is a crime, this is a masterpiece
This is… without any exaggeration, one of the most brilliant sketches I’ve ever seen in this platform. What a clever take on such a tired meme
The amount of effort that was put into this is amazing. I love the ending music from the mother simpson episode. Such a great touch.
Magical. Well done you two.
I can imagine a future in which this is the sole surviving version of Steamed Hams and future generations think the animation is the parody.
The fact that they did this outside at night during winter is amazing
This is an ultimate meme.
LOL this is so cute and adorable! I am seeing this 4 years later but I love it! Ending with the fire engine is perfect! I also love the way the guy was mimicking how Seymour lifts himself up by his toes
A cinematic masterpiece. Perfection
This is the slickest commercial I've seen in a LONG time.
This is a phenomenal video that we must protect at all costs and should enter the internet hall of fame

Homies appeared, dropped this banger, and disappeared.
Respect
it's super impressive how much of the movements and expressions you paid such attention to detail to! well done!
I love how this channel was created just for this video. This nice little skit
And the theme that played after Homer said goodbye to his mom at the end. Perfection. Great job guys.
This is probably the most dedication ive ever seen to a simple visual gag.
A+
2:25 now THAT is wholesome.
