What makes "Steamed Hams" so incredibly fucking funny?

>>136695445 (OP)

make pretend

the characters are being funny, the humor is absurdist, but THEY don't know or acknowledge it, it's played straight as the shit goes down

It keeps baiting things finally going wrong for Skinner but they never do despite how more and more absurd it.

absurdism treated seriously

A rare parody of comedy that is itself funny.

It's funny, but not that funny. It's just a forced meme.

>>136695445 (OP)

the delivery really sells it

>>136695445 (OP)

It's not funny. The only reason I ever watched those videos was to see different takes and animation styles. The original in itself is boring and painful, it's just randumb and the internet has always loved randumb so it gets away with it.

What exactly was it that made this a meme decades later?

Well Sneedmour, I made it, despite your new sign.

Skinner's constant poor decision making just makes everything worse for him and his answer to the problems ramps up in absurdity. Great writing, great comedic timing, and great delivery.

it's funny maybe the first time you see it. but that's it. Anon just being based.

It's funny, but it's not THAT funny. It's moreso that it's just really memeable, because there's a lot of comedy content, because it's an absurdist back and forth between a straight man and a foil.

It is me or is it funnier without the Skinner/Superintendent montage jingle? It breaks up the scene.

because it wasn't one back then

>nobody made steamed hams but it's a 4chan post chain

guess I'll start



>*ding dong*

>>136695445 (OP)

it was pretty original

Is "casual funny" the characters don't force the joke is more like an awkward conversation

>>136695445 (OP)

I for one find the most amusement in Chalmers' clearly knowing something is wrong, but not caring enough to force the issue or demand rationality.

The immediate switch from

>A.. AURORA BOREALIS? AT THIS TIME OF YEAR? AT THIS TIME OF DAY? IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY? LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN?

to

>... may I see it?

is just charming as hell.

God I love Liru...

More like anon just being a contrarian

Well, anon, I made it, despite your directions.

Steamed hams is way more funny than Sneed because it's actually a long well written comedy routine whereas Sneed was a funny visual gag at the time but it was way easier to drive into the ground due to it's simplicity and brevity. It's just obnoxious now but I can still chuckle at Steamed Ham memes because there's way more there so it's harder for it to get played out.

you've been gaslighted by normalfags

It's fun imagining that game to be canon
