00:00Some things truly stand the test of time and have us consistently coming back for more.

00:04Things like the classic animated comedy The Simpsons and, mmm, liver and onions.

00:10So why are we seeing The Simpsons characters licking their lips at the idea of liver and

00:14onions on TikTok? This current trend is a revival of a meme that started all the way back in 2017.

00:19Well, I guess if you want to get technical about it, it really started in 1996 when The Simpsons

00:24aired the episode The Day the Violence Died, which features this scene where the character

00:28Chester J. Lampwick wants to celebrate a victory with his favorite cuisine.

00:32Wanna go celebrate? I feel like liver and onions.

00:36But then in 2017, a Tumblr user shared the earliest found liver and onions meme in two panels based

00:42on a scene from the episode Bart on the Road, altering the dialogue to reference liver and

00:46onions and editing Lampwick's beard and tongue onto all four of the characters featured.

00:50The meme spread to the r slash Simpson posting subreddit and to YouTube, gaining a notable

00:54presence in 2018 as more and more users uploaded videos editing Lampwick's mouth saying liver

00:59and onions and licking his lips onto other characters from The Simpsons in all varieties of scenes

01:04from the show. Many would also try and insert some depiction of the dish in the clips as well.

01:08For example, in April 2018, Redditor IamCarvalho posted a video like this where liver and onions

01:14makes a cameo in The Simpsons' McBain movie.

01:17Remember when I said I would eat you last? I lied.

01:22In May of 2025, the meme saw a resurgence on TikTok. While it's unclear what kicked off this

01:27new wave, it is clear that the joke is just as funny as it was before. Just now, it's reaching

01:32a new audience.

01:34More liver and onions.

01:36Yes, please.

01:39TikTokers have been posting clips, editing Lampwick's liver-licking lips onto other Simpsons

01:44characters, but they've also taken it several steps further by putting the beard on themselves

01:48or using AI to have subjects from outside The Simpsons' universe embody the craving.

01:52Mix together with the most important ingredient of all, four heaping pounds of freshly ground

02:00liver and onions.
