‘Steamed Hams’ hits 30 years

The Simpsons scene 'Steamed Hams' from the 1996 episode '22 Short Films About Springfield' marks its 30th anniversary this year. Creators posted high-profile remixes for the milestone, including 'Steamed Hams But Every Scene is a Different Animation Style' by lotusbandicoot, 'Steamed Hams but it was banned in the USSR' by Tyrone Deise, and 'Steamed Hams but it's an episode of Gundam' by Kat Gundam. Bluesky's recent top-words list showed 'steamed' and 'hams' each trending 13 times, and anniversary posts linked fan edits such as 'Steamed Hams Inc.' on YouTube. The anniversary has produced technical experiments, style swaps, alternate-history spoofs, and cross-franchise reanimations, that underline the scene's longevity as a ready template for animation remixes.
