Any bit from a well known Simpsons gag could have made it with the proper circumstances. "Memeability" comes from sheer chance and many unpredictable and fleeting factors. Anybody pretending to understand why some just snowball and become popular and some others feel forced and cringy every time is 100% full of shit.

It was widely considered one of the best jokes in the series, which is really saying something, comes from an incredibly recognizable franchise, and has a length that is both long enough to heavily exploit, but short enough to grab even the most ADHD meme-addled brain
Brandon Thompson
Nothing.
Internet Memes don't have explanations, they simply become. It's dry grass zeitgeist struck by lightning.
Maybe it's that flat patter scenes between two straight men trying to navigate one another's bullshit, who knows.
Christian Reyes
Nothings. Memes these days are movies high schoolers grew up watching and remember an unfunny bit with some innuendo, sends it to another highschooler, and so ad nauseum.
Memes are now Member Berries.
Jason Edwards
This sums it up perfectly.
Chase Bennett
People spammed it day after day for months until it caught on.
Liam Richardson
Someone happened to Youtube Poop it and it caught on.
Grayson Young
well shit, there you go. thread over
Caleb Bell
Lots of plain dialog to exploit and a short segment without any crazy shit happening animation wise. That's why King of the Hill makes for the best youtubepoops.
Charles Foster
These, also it was very clean which made it easy to share on leddit, twitter, and facebook.
Shrek was big but nobody could post about onion cum without being made fun of.
Logan Thomas
The scene is unusual for the Simpsons.
>long
>awkward humor
>side characters
>one place
>no action or slapstick

I don't care what anyone says, this was a damn fun meme while it lasted. There was a lot of good OC that came out of it. I have a feeling I'll look back fondly on this wave of videos sort of like how I look back on the golden age of KotH YTPs.

>no one ever took it to the final level and made "The Nutshack theme but every Nutshack is replaced with a different version of Steamed Hams"
It's all I ever wanted from that meme.
Logan Murphy
You're all forgetting the real peak of the meme.

This isn't technically part of the SH trend, but it's by the same guy and it's even better.

In the end this is really all "memeability" comes down to.

why must you bring sexuality into everything?
Wyatt Peterson
A good meme is one that is easily translatable 2 an unprecedented variational copies
The whole scene has a lot of awkward writing and jump cuts that even the scene itself with no edits feels trippy. These awkward jump cut sections are great interludes to other jokes.
In reality most memes have a very limited number of creators and a large number of consumers. You just have to convince the creators something's worth while putting artistic time in creating. Technically anything with enough content can be a meme.
But most of the time I guess it's "Hit or Miss huh?"
