For a show that is coming up on forty years old, The Simpsons has to be applauded for its ability to still hold the cultural relevance that it has. Many people still reference classic episodes and quotes in day-to-day life.

Naturally, this extends to the world of memes as well. It’s one of those shows that almost feels like it pre-empted internet culture, simply because it has so much of an influence on certain parts of it.

It also allows us to carry on the laughs long after the golden era of its TV run has faded, as proven by a recent Twitter thread. In it, fans shared some of their favorite memes that related to things that happened on the show. Some were more abstract than others and yes, there are some mentions of steamed hams. Enjoy the ride, and maybe let this convince you into yet another rewatch.
