Steamed Hams but it's a Shadow Play from the Ottoman Empire 

I just put up a little behind the scenes vid on my Patreon… become a member to help support the channel and see how the sausage is made. www.patreon.com/TyroneDeise

the thing that's even funnier is Ottoman Empire ended in 1922 and the cites of Albany and Utica were founded in 1686 and 1798 respectivly. so it's entirely possible that an Ottoman puppeter knew about these cities

I feel like I'm learning more about the history of cinema and storytelling from your Steamed Hams videos than I could from a college level class

Steamed hams but it’s a series of old cave paintings

I’m glad channels like yours can translate and westernise these classic Ottoman tales. The “Steamed Kebab”, the story of the classic Ankara expression, deserves to be shown to a international audience due to its cultural significance

As a Turk, I have never before been so delighted with my culture being slandered.

Superintendent Chalmers wouldn't recognize the dialect, it's from the Ottoman Empire 🏰

Dude I'm Turkish and this is fcking incredible! How the hell did you build the puppets, how are you moving them so accurately - and how is the voice acting so on point? I've never enjoyed Karagöz & Hacivat as a kid but I think as an adult I would watch 30 seasons worth of episodes if you parodied the entirety of the Simpsons.

this feels way too high quality for a steamed hams bit, good stuff man

C: Well Seymour I made it! Despite your directions. S: Ah, Mufti Chalmers, welcome! I hope you're prepared for a halal meal! C: Evet! S: Oha! My meal is ruined! But what if I purchase food from the bazaar and disguise it as my cooking! Oh, delightfully haram Seymour! C: Seymour! S: Mufti Chalmers, I was just stretching my calves on the window sill! Isometric exercise! Care to join me? C: Why is there smoke coming out of your brazier, Seymour? S: Oh it's not smoke! It's steam from the steamed clams we're having! S: Mufti, I hope you're prepared for mouth watering kebabs! C: I thought we were having steamed clams! S: No, I said steamed babs! That's how I call kebabs! C: You call kebabs steamed babs? S: Yes! It's a regional dialect! C: From what region? S: Eastern Thrace? C: Really? I'm from Istanbul and I never heard anyone use the phrase steamed babs! S: Not from Istanbul, it's an Edirne expression! C: Ah, I see! You know, those kebabs are quite similar to the ones they have at the bazaar downtown! S: Oh, no! These are halal Skinner kebabs! Old family recipe! C: For steamed babs? S: Evet! C: Yeah, and you call them steamed babs despite the fact they are obviously roasted! S: Eh, you know, one thing I should... excuse for one second! C: Of course! S: Oh well that was wonderful! Good time was that by all I'm pooped! C: Yes, I should be... GOOD ALLAH WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?! S: Aurora borealis C: Aurora borealis? At this time of yeah, at this time of day, at this part of the empire, localized entirely within your kitchen?! S: Evet! C: Can I see it? S: Hayir. A: Seymour! The house is on fire! S: No mother it's just the northern lights! C: Well Seymour you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good kebab! A: YARDIM! YARDIM!

The Steamed Hams shadow play was first introduced on 14th April, 1496 during the Simpsons' seventh year of entertaining people in the Ottoman Empire.

It's the freaking firefighters that were the cherry on top.

Physical shadow puppets, sprinkled with Turkish phrases here and there. It's a pity that I can't give 1000 likes. Muhteşem!

This is the highest possible reachable point in memeing, literally nothing can top this.

That is one of the most creative retellings of Steamed Hams I've ever seen. And so nostalgic! Takes me back to the Ottoman rule over Bulgaria...

I'm glad to see someone working so hard to archive all these historical re-tellings of such a classic and ageless tale. Maybe one day you can show us a reproduction of Sophacles' three-part tragedy "Seymourius," or even a close examination of the original Cuneiform tablets describing the unforgettable luncheon.

Tyrone, I showed this video to Bill Oakley, a.k.a. the Steamed Hams writer (and therefore memelord), and this is what he said about it: > This is amazing too! This guy is so insanely talented. I love that he is gracing Steamed Hams with his formidable skills! There you have it. I think you just may be a Canadian National Treasure (my words, not his)!

The sheer, absurd production quality with historical and linguistic accuracy for such a shitpost. The mind boggles.

No, not in Constantinople. It's an Angora expression.

The dedication to not just your craft, but learning all these new crafts is inspiring

I know it's because Greece was heavily influenced by Ottoman culture, but this brings back fond childhood memories of the Karagiotzis shadow puppet plays (in fact, those were also an adaptation of a Turkish tradition, I think) ! Absolutely outstanding work! This made my day!

Just the idea of turning this sketch into a Karagöz Hacivat is pure genius!

it’s nice to see one of the more obscure plays produced by mehmet gernek’s company finally come to life after so many centuries

OMG you even made tulumbacı puppets for the ending 🤣

This is the best thing

Massively underrated series. The fact that this is obscure is criminal.

... and the award for Best Supporting Role goes to....: The Ottoman Fire Brigade, in Steamed Hams but it's a Shadow Play from the Ottoman Empire

I like the detail of how you always or mostly include the firemen at the near end of the video

As an avid fan of the original Karagöz and Hacivat plays, this only serves to further serve the absurdity.

Its very interesting seeing you take this dumb meme and using it as a way to explore various cultures/ art forms

To quote another meme: your channel has always been celebrated for its excellence.

The fire engine siren was the cherry on top! Great work!

bro turned a 5 year old meme into a genuine form of art. keep it up 💪💪💪

These Steamed Hams parodies are getting better each time, please don't stop!!!

your steamed hams videos are so shockingly impressive and good, the lengths you go to.

I've witnessed history.

gonna have my teacher play this in my media criticisms course

amazing work, do you think you can do the steamed hams meme as say a punch and Judy show? I'd love to see puppet Chalmers slap Skinner around with a steamed ham prop or visa versa

people are geting more and more creative whith diferent art forms and cultures... 10/10 😊

That's amazing.

I love your different versions of Steamed Hams!

You put so much effort into these. It's crazy.

This video deserves to blow up, this is too well made for a Steamed Hams parody.

Man, your channel has some amazing stuff

Amazing as always!

wow!! so much effort❤❤❤

YOU ARE SO AMAZING. Thank you for this truly incredible work!!!

this guy can actually do everything

Another Tyrone Deise banger

Absolutely amazing!

Awesome work! 🎉 making me hungry for some steamed hams.

This is an absolute masterpiece oh my goodness!

I would love to see a version of Steamed Hams in Japanese Kabuki style.

This is too good.

this is incredible

Awesome stuff

Ingenious, as always

Turning the ambulance from the last frame to a traditional tuulumbaci lmao

if someone hadn't animated Steam Hams with various cartoon styles, I would've called this the most creative Steamed Hams.

this is 100% going to blow up feel blessed to be here early

This is art

unbelievably incredible. oh my god

This is amazing!!!

Exceptional!

Fascinating Thank you . Teşekkürler.

Always love seeing the inventive Steamed Hams variants you come up with! I wonder if you would do an ancient Greek theater version sometime, with the clay masks and the Greek chorus?

Bravo.

hacivat and karagöz is literally peak ottoman culture ngl

Thank you for representing us!

I must ask, how did you make this? Was it all physical or digital?

I love this. Reminds me of a play in greece I used to watch

The voice acting is really what sells this tbh

i am obsessed with these, and it gets better each time! are you gonna make another one, and if so, what would it be?

Someone sent me this over Discord and I just had to watch it

They included the fire engine! Gold

At this point we may as well send every variation on Steamed Hams into space to teach aliens about human culture.

These are the gold mines of the RU-vid

dude this is awesome!!!!!!!!! what's next? punch and judy styled? banraku? steamed hams as tf2 roleplay server vod?

that's great

Lore of Steamed Hams but it's a Shadow Play from the Ottoman Empire momentum 100

As a Kazakh, «hoş geldiniz» caught me off guard

:D that fire engine

This reminds me of "wayang kulit" from the Malay Archipelago, which also translated to shadow play. Thank you for the educational experience.

this is culture

The acme siren at the end was inspired

Hacivat ve Karagöz

Holy shit this is incredible

First time not seeing karagöz(blackeye) and hacivat
