“Fire truck” scene

The “fire truck scene” is a common misinterpretation of the opening shots of Homer’s story from 22 Short Films About Springfield.

History
On December 2 2010, marre523 uploaded “Skinner invites Chalmers on steamed hams” (otherwise known as Skinner’s story from 22 Short Films About Springfield) onto YouTube. Due to a cutting mistake, a spilt second from the following story was shown at the end. This upload was majorly used in the Steamed Hams meme.

By the time the scene had gotten attention in 2017, many memes tried to emulate the upload by leaving the spilt-second in. The memers started referring it to the “fire truck scene” and whenever there was a cause in the ending of a meme, the audio of split second would loop and the screen would go blank. Some upload left more of the shots in, leading the memers referring it to a extended fire truck scene.
