In the Season 7 episode "Lisa the Vegetarian", Ralph Wiggum eats the worm he was supposed to dissect, so Ms. Hoover tells him to go to sleep while the rest of the children learn. At which point Ralph says: "Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!". This seemingly innocuous line of dialogue ignited a vigorous internet debate that has spanned two decades. The debate over whether Ralph literally dreams of being a Viking, or whether he is metaphorically describing he is awesome at sleeping. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of forum posts debating what this joke means. Why.
