Movie parody: Pulp Fiction (1994)

Just like every brilliant Tarantino movie, 22 Short Films About Springfield puts forward a nonlinear narrative and keeps its viewers engaged from start to finish.

As the title suggests, this episode delves into the many untold stories of the residents of Springfield, particularly using the most hilarious of the show's supporting characters.

The best mini stories include Apu leaving the Kwik-E-Mart for five minutes to party at Sanjay's, the various towns people advising Marge on how to remove gum from Lisa's hair and Nelson getting a public humiliation after making fun of an unusually tall man.

But unarguably the most iconic vignette is the steamed hams skit between Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers. Not only is it endlessly quotable, it has been frequently memed over the years as well, thus becoming one of the best Simpsons memes on the internet.

22 Short Films About Springfield recreates several iconic moments from Pulp Fiction, including the discussion about fast food burgers, the 1990s soundtrack and the violent scenes involving Butch and Marsellus.
