It's said that The Simpsons has often predicted the future, but if you look back - you'll see that many of the show's plots and images work very, very well with popular movies. These Fake History-style memes say it all.

Smasher, an entertainment focused Youtube channel, is breaking thousands of fans hearts with the fake Friends reunion trailer they uploaded earlier this month. The trailer sets us up with the plot for a full length movie, in which everyone's relationships are on the rocks - except for Joey. Shocker: he's still single.
From the description:
"This picks up a few years where the final season left off with Ben and Emma grown up. Mike and Phoebe have trouble with marriage, Monica and Chandler are getting a divorce, Joey couldn't find someone, and Ross and Rachel have trouble after many years of not being together! Filled with some surprise appearances by today's actors, along with some old friends (no pun intended), this movie will be an all-star extravaganza, while showing a lesson in being there for each other."
It sounds a little contrived, but it's still fooled some fans - and infuriated others. You can watch the trailer and take in the reactions below.

Writer Bill Oakley delighted fans of The Simpsons yesterday after tweeting the original script for the series' beloved "Steamed Hams" scene. In the episode, Principal Skinner invites Superintendent Chalmers over for dinner. As can be expected, the dinner is a disaster and results in a series of seriously elaborate lies. When Chalmers expresses confusion at being served hamburgers after being promised steamed clams, Skinner attempts to smooth things over by explaining that he meant "steamed hams" - an Albany term for burgers.
The scene, from the 1996 episode "22 Short films About Springfield" has reached mega-meme status, inspiring parodies, remixes, image macros and even Facebook pages. You can read the script and reactions below - as well as enjoy some classic steamed hams memes.

Everyone draws the line somewhere when it comes to dating. It could be someone's career, their table manners, but most often, deal breakers are political. A Thai web comic from November that addresses these political limits has recently gone viral on Reddit and Imgur.

Crafty internet users have decided to make the comic a little more universal, incorporating themes that range from Flat Earth Theory to the Distracted Boyfriend meme. We've rounded up the cream of the crop for your viewing pleasure.
