Great work. Even the sound quality has that "fresh out of the Soundblaster 16 audio card that I just spent two hours fiddling with the IRQ settings to get the dialogue working" feel.
I'd love to see this expanded with alternate scenarios. Like, a bad ending if Skinner stays in the burning kitchen for too long. Or, what happens if Skinner tells the truth?
@@iannickCZ well, yeah: they're from the simpsons series do you know how many episodes worth of voice lines the simpsons has???? every character has probably said every common word at this point
We can basically take the channel anywhere we want to! Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, I'm sure you found a few flaws by moving the camera out of bounds. 😉
Ah back before the internet days and you can Google the answer to these puzzles. Like seriously, who would think you're supposed to answer "Aurora Borealis" at the luncheon puzzle?
You're not! This is the ending where the house burns down. Obviously the game isn't under 10 minutes long. It's just an early "You've died." sequence. You're actually supposed to go right at the very start and "Use" the oven before Chalmers gets there..
Remember when you could actually Google solutions and guides for games quickly. Now you're directed to useless videos which are no help. Ah the good old days
I'm sorry for the negativity, but it's mostly a rip-and-patch-together job. The engine was programmed by someone else (think RPG Maker but for P&C adventure games). The audio was ripped from the show. The sprites were ripped from the Simpsons arcade game (by someone else, on a sprite rip website). The background were ripped from Maniac Mansion (though edited and recolored!), etc.. The *original* effort made here was in stringing together the game scenario, which is rather short and with little to no variation. This *would* be legendary status if the "wrong" answers led to alternate conversation routes/events, or if we could explore more of Skinner's house and find additional interactions with Chalmers (ex, serving him that snowman in the fridge for desert under the guise of it being vegan ice-cream, have Skinner's mother come downstairs and chase him away by talking his ear off, or something). There's so much you can do with this format of game but the game just sticks to this one single premise... I'm hoping more will be added to it and that we're just seeing the beginning, TBH. :D
@@wunderwalze To be fair, my biggest disappointment is that he didn't write the physical laws under which operate the computer the OS running his game is running on. And I'm not seeing any credits to electrons and neutrinos anywhere at the end of the game, which I simply think is misappropriation on the dev's part. :( It speaks volumes about his level of talent and professionalism, IMO. I mean, what *serious* dev isn't running a microverse in their living room?
@MS-DOS Friends, not bad. But @ 5:10 you need to pause a bit more after "... may I see it?". like 2 seconds more. then, "No.". That wouldve been perfect.
This might be one of my all time favorite videos in the history of TH-cam... And I have seen thousands upon thousands of videos. This is just an absolute masterpiece! I loved Maniac Mansion back in the day and this is one hell of a tribute to it! And to one of the best internet memes of all time! It's PERFECTION!
My favorite part was honestly Skinner's expression at the end as he stands motionless, helpless to do anything but hold his thumb up while the credits roll as his house burns to the ground behind him.
God I love steamed hams just the amount of creativity that people put into their version of the meme can be astounding I love it anywayd this video was great and I hope it gets way more traction at some point
Imagine in an actual adventure game being expected to figure out that the way to deal with your burning oven and ruined roast was to climb out the window to buy fast-food from an off-screen restaurant that you had no idea was there.
Yeah, I'd like to see some Sierra style bad endings for the wrong choices, haha. And maybe if you explore all of the options where Seymour tells the truth, Chalmers reveals a secret fire extinguisher, helps you fight the A̶u̶r̶o̶r̶a̶ ̶B̶o̶r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶s̶ fire, and gives you a raise for your honesty.
The steamed hams meme is one of my favourite memes because of it's insane creative potential, I always find a new and interesting iteration of this meme, and this one by far is my favourite
as someone who has seen more steamed hams than i can remember im surprised one of this caliber slipped through the cracks....popped up in recommended now so i think others will soon see it
@@RotisserieDivorcePapers It's kinda like an inside Joke. In the game "The Secret of Monkey Island™" the main character, Guybrush Threepwood finds a ridiculously giant monkey head, made of stone in the jungle, to which he replies "This is the second biggest monkey head I have ever seen." The style, and especially the pixelart, and type of font in this video is exactly like in Monkey Island™, leading me to believe that this video was made with a modded or sprite changed version of Monkey Island™.
I love how telling Skinner to tell the truth is an option every step of the way, but if you try he just stammers a bit and refuses to do it.
Correct characterization
Imagine if Lucasarts in the 90s made a point and click adventure set in the world of The Simpsons. It would've sold like hotcakes!
Steamed Hams was made in 1995.

You know, these hotcakes are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger.

The slightly awkward timing and cuts between voice lines and the slowdown during the song really add a layer of authenticity to this.
My only nitpick would be that the audio is too clear, it needs to be bitcrunhed.
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் Eh, on CD talkie SCUMM games, the audio was really fairly good. DOTT, Full Throttle, etc.
@@விஷ்ணு_கார்த்திக் it's a tiny crushed already.
4:01 the way Chalmer’s lines got stitched together between the cuts really sold it

Finally, Super Nintendo Chalmers in glorious 16-bits!
Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers!
Welcome!
😂
sixty-four-bits.. thirty-two-bits..
16 bits 8BITS 4BITS
This was amazingly well done. I was half expecting Skinner to say "I can't use these things together" at some point.
Sam and Max, haha.
Great work. Even the sound quality has that "fresh out of the Soundblaster 16 audio card that I just spent two hours fiddling with the IRQ settings to get the dialogue working" feel.
Great, you said it out loud and now Ultima VII won't play with music anymore!
Dude, sound blaster!! I dropped a tear
Don't forget about editing your autoexec.bat and config.sys files
I miss that time, it was a good filter. Kept the mouthbreathers away from computing.
@@Dr.W.Krueger I couldn't have said it better!
I actually laughed out loud at the text getting bigger during the “Aurora Borealis!” line. Well done.
I'd love to see this expanded with alternate scenarios. Like, a bad ending if Skinner stays in the burning kitchen for too long. Or, what happens if Skinner tells the truth?
or what if he DOES show the aurora borealis that materialised within his cooking space?
God i need this so badly
the voices are from a the simpsons series, so there is no alternate version just like what was made.
@@iannickCZ well, yeah: they're from the simpsons series
do you know how many episodes worth of voice lines the simpsons has???? every character has probably said every common word at this point

I was lucky, my version came with the strategy guide included.
well thankfully it's multiple choice so people even then were bound to figure it out by process of elimination.
The cracking 8 bit sound of the oven. Man, that's attention to detail
This is amazing. One of the greatest steamed hams ever.
Yeah the games are the best 😂
And, like most graphic adventures, if you play them long enough, you end up with a cactus and a stepladder jammed in your pocket.
I bet Skinner has the useless piece of fuzz from the beginning, too.

this reminds me of the beavis and butthead game on megadrive
The single stuck midi note during the song really gives this that nostalgic polish, great job
“Eh, that’s no help.”
Oh my golly gosh goodness the accuracy.
Skinner: "But what if..."
*player chooses telling the truth*
Skinner: "No!"

OMG this is genius!!
Really makes me wish Lucasarts did some click adventure based on the franchise.
Bro I love your profile picture
Truly beautiful. You created alternative options of dialogue also 😮
I loved the "broken bottles of ketchup" inside the fridge.
This is it.
Best clip I've ever seen on youtube. Nostalgia AND steamed hams.
OMG this looks amazing, and the take on the meme with the classic point n' click is very well done. Sierra secretly approves from the graveyard.
You mean LucasArts...
This one was more LucasArts than Sierra.

Eh, that's no help. This is probably my favorite version of Steamed Hams. Kudos to everyone who worked on it!
Immediately recognized the contents of the fridge as a Maniac Mansion reference
This is so insanely appropriate, the tone fits perfectly.
I don't write this often, but this is one of those that definitely needs more views, and I'm baffled why it doesn't already.
Holy shit, this is beyond awesome. How perfectly made 😍
This needs to explode in the algorithm
I’m really surprised Harry Shearer and Hank Azaria haven’t come out and done some kind of collaboration in light of all this.
Imagine in an actual adventure game being expected to figure out that the way to deal with your burning oven and ruined roast was to climb out the window to buy fast-food from an off-screen restaurant that you had no idea was there.
Thought the same thing! Would be on par with some adventure games I've played.
@@crimsonshinobi5281 in normal graphic adventure games don’t you have to type in what to do sometimes?
@@melody3741 Yes, you're thinking of parser system games. Most often used by Sierra in their earlier adventure games from the 80's.
@@melody3741 Leisure Suit Larry in the Lounge Lizards is one such game, your comment bought back some memories!
Basically almost any Sierra games. OMG those were hard. Just like Crimson Shinobi mentioned.
You could change the title to:
Steamed Hams but it's a 90s point & click adventure
I love that he's just pulling them out of the Krusty-branded paper bag in front of him
The mandatory adventure game fumbling-around-by-clicking-on-everything is just chefs kiss
Very awesome.
I bet it would've been pretty funny if Seymour could've actually said some of the other choices & how Chalmers would've reacted to them.
same hear but finding audio dialogue to match would be a tough one
@@alexio1942 well change the options
AI voices are always an option, and the bitcrushing might help reduce the artificial sounding part.
Yeah, I'd like to see some Sierra style bad endings for the wrong choices, haha.
And maybe if you explore all of the options where Seymour tells the truth, Chalmers reveals a secret fire extinguisher, helps you fight the A̶u̶r̶o̶r̶a̶ ̶B̶o̶r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶s̶ fire, and gives you a raise for your honesty.
There's an 8-bit adventure of Steamed Hams someone made a long time ago that's a similar premise, you have different endings for it.
Expanding and lingering on the house fire really emphasizes Seymour's desperation for a father figure. Well done.
I appreciate the amount of effort invested into this.
Good thing you chose the right lines. Harry Shearer might have had trouble going back in time to fill the other options
the nostalgia, these where he first games I played ever
This isn't a game, it's a work of art!
Oh my gosh! God bless you, this is phenomenal! :D It needs more views!!!
That is hilarious and thanks again for uploading the video to TH-cam. 👍 👍
Whoa! Why doesn't this have a million views?? Awesome work!
Chalmers: "Aurora borealis?"
Skinner: "How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"
The steamed hams meme is one of my favourite memes because of it's insane creative potential, I always find a new and interesting iteration of this meme, and this one by far is my favourite
This deserves way more views.
Loved that episode, how believable was everthing, and how Chalmers could not notice anything.
I would kill for a fully fledged Simpsons adventure game in this style
That would be so awesome.
Just to be clear: I didn't talking about the killing part. 😶
Cool to see people still use this skit creatively. I love this one! Great work!
The awkward pauses between each line makes this so much better
"I hope you're ready to play King's Quest VI!""
"I thought you said we were playing Monkey Island 2."
Wow this deserves way more attention 👏🏻
Probably the best Steamed Hams meme I have ever seen, well done!
Love the Aurora Australis response option as a subtle shoutout to the Aussie Steamed Hams version
This is fantastic! Needs a lot more views!
"AURORA BORÉALIS!!"
😂 this is perfect with the enhanced text!
This may be one of the most nostalgic-inducing and well-orchestrated parodies I have ever seen.
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing
LOL, I love how there's clearly no end to the Steamed Hams meme.
As a long date Lucasarts fan, I find this an absolute masterpiece.
Perfection, complete era accuracy. Also, thanks for cutting out the gross eating sounds. Wish more Steamed Hams edits would do that
The production was amazing oh my god this is so underrated!
This is so well made! Very impressive
Good time was had by all
Simply great, i love the combination of point&click + steamed hams!
wow this is so good. Very well made. Good feel for detail!
This is SOOOO well done. Amazing!
This is brilliant. It's criminal that it only has 50k views,

This was a real nostalgia trip. I remember playing this in 1997 on DOS.
Insanely well done, DAMN.
My gosh, I was falling asleep at the sound of the soft crackling of the fire!

I don't think he'd want that.

5:00 I like how instead of cutting closer and closer to Chalmers's face the text gets larger and larger.
Honestly the best version I've ever seen
Unbelievably well done
I know its minor in the grand scheme, but I'm impressed how you managed to isolate the dialogue without any background sound.
Man, this is STUNNING!!
The sound of the fire is soothing
Amazing. This meme has gone places I never expected it to go.
Lots of memes die put in the month they came out but this one has stood the test of time
