Chalmers rings Skinner's doorbell. Skinner opens the door.] Chalmers: Well, Seymour, I made it, despite your directions. Skinner: Ah, Superintendent Chalmers, welcome! I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon! Chalmers: Eh... [Chalmers enters. In the dining room, he sits at the table and places a bottle in an ice bucket, while Skinner runs to the kitchen, only to find his roast is burnt, and gasps in horror.] Skinner: Oh, egads! My roast is ruined! [Chalmers' knocking on the kitchen door can be heard as Skinner looks at Krusty Burger across the street from his window] But what if... I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? [chuckles] Delightfully devilish, Seymour. [Skinner begins to climb through the window, but Chalmers enters the kitchen and catches Skinner trying to leave.] Chalmers: Uh--! [Accompanied by a montage of scenes of Skinner and Chalmers from previous episodes, the theme song to an imaginary sitcom titled "Skinner and the Superintendent" then plays:] Skinner, with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight! Chalmers: SEEEEEYMOOUUURRR!!! [The scene goes back to Skinner's kitchen] Skinner: Superintendent! I was just...uh... stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise! Care to join me? [Smoke can be seen coming out of Skinner's oven] Chalmers: Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? [points to the oven] Skinner: Uh... oh! That isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamed clams we're having. [Massages his belly] Mmmm, steamed clams! [Once a suspicious Chalmers leaves the kitchen, Skinner breathes a sigh of relief, climbs out the window, and runs across the street to Krusty Burger, where he buys hamburgers and French fries to replace his burnt roast. The scene cuts to the dining room, where Skinner comes from the kitchen with the fast food on a silver tray.] Skinner: Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers! Chalmers: I thought we were having "steamed clams". Skinner: Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'! That's what I call hamburgers. Chalmers: You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'? Skinner: Yes! It's a regional dialect. Chalmers: Uh-huh. Eh, what region? Skinner: Uh... upstate New York? Chalmers: Really? Well, I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'. Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression. Chalmers: I see. [Chalmers takes a bite out of a burger and chews it a little, while Skinner sips his drink.] Chalmers: You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. Skinner: [chuckles] Oh, no! Patented Skinner Burgers! Old family recipe. Chalmers: For steamed hams? Skinner: Yes. Chalmers: Yes, and you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled. [opens one of the burgers and exposes the patty's grilled pattern to Skinner. Sizzling from the kitchen can be heard] Skinner: Y- Uh.. you know, the... One thing I should... Excuse me for one second. Chalmers: Of course. [Skinner enters and leaves the kitchen swiftly upon seeing it is now on fire] Skinner: [pretends to yawn] Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped. Chalmers: Yes, I should be-- [notices the intense light coming from the burning kitchen] GOOD LORD, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE!? Skinner: Aurora Borealis? Chalmers: Uh... AURORA BOREALIS!? AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AT THIS TIME OF DAY, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN!? Skinner: Yes! Chalmers: ...May I see it? Skinner: ...No. [They exit the house as the kitchen fire grows larger.] Agnes (voice): SEYMOUR!!! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!! Skinner: [looking up] No, mother, it's just the Northern Lights. Chalmers: Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham. [As Chalmers begins heading home, Agnes starts screaming for help, causing Chalmers to look back towards the house. Skinner gives him a thumbs up and a fake smile, causing him to keep walking away. Once Chalmers is out of sight, Skinner rushes back into the house to deal with the fire.] Agnes (voice): HEEEELP!!! HEEEELP!!!

See, this is what you get when you click on a link that Chaucer sent you.

this sounds like a mixture of german and english

oh great bard

Now do it in Proto-Germanic

Not sure if this is the lost manuscript of Chaucers “the superintendants tale” or regular steamed hams read by a Dutch voice actor with a cold…

I didn't know what I was expecting, but Middle English sounding more German was a surprise. Very interesting!

Im strekking min kalfs upon the vindosill

damn english is a german ass language

is this anglo-saxon language ?

what language is this ?

3/4 of the way through I began to understand it, so weird! I do understand a little German.

STEOD KLAMMES

Why is this more German than English? Crazy.

Tell me why this sounds like the langue they speak in Hollow Knight

As a native Spanish Speaker... I have absolutely no clue what they're saying!

This will be the rosetta stone of our age

one of the best videos on this site. unfortunately, going to have to deduct 5 points for not recreating the intro music in gregorian chant. A-

This feels like german with sprinkles of English words pronounced exactly as they are written

As a german this sounded surprisingly Dutch to me xD

I built this recommended page brick by brick, and I'm so proud to be here

Of all the steamed hams videos, this deserves way more views

BI GODS BON’S WHAT BEÞ OCCURIN IN DERE is something i need to use more often

Das kommt zu meinen Favoriten

Middle English sounds like what a German thinks English sounds like.

Wow its actually incredible how completely normal it sounds when youre reading it properly and not like an insane person, who'd have thought huh?

Oh great bard! Please, bless us with thy Godly voice and thine fine tunes, which are to mine ears as the beauteous sounds of flowing water!

1:26 this isn’t true btw. I actually just learned that it’s a myth today; the channel LetThemTalkTV put out a video explaining it earlier this week. The misconception may from Ivanhoe, invented by the author. In truth people often used words like cow and beef or sheep and mutton interchangeably as synonyms as late as the 19th century.

Oooooo… mooscles…. Ooooooo….

I insist that it is "*DYUERS COLOURES!!!!!!*", not "dyuers coloures"

The Principle’s Tale is my favourite part of Chaucer’s work.

I’m glad you have the Middle English script in the description

Why no schwas at the end of Yorkshire, time etc? Were they gone by the period of time you're targeting in your pronunciation? Or just an accent thing?

This and the Hebrew scroll version are the dynamic duo.

Some historians believe that the Anglo-Saxons lost the Battle of Hastings to the Normans because Harold Godwinson was died laughing the Steamed Hams meme.

Now we know what accent Bulk Bogan actually spoke when he pronounced "muscles"! Although he was born 40 BC and is over 2000 years old, it would be likely he spoke in combination of old and ancient accent which explains his bizarre accent.

Just finished morrowind, disappointed dagoth ur did not speak middle english. Still, hit bith not too late for myn merci

I wonder if you showed this to someone from the time this as a play, (plus changing everything so a person of the time doesn't have a million questions) what would they think?
