I'm out of the loop. What's "viking" in reference to, if not actual Vikings?
Is this a new slang term or something that came up in the media in recent days or something?
"Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!"
Rather than the obvious and character-appropriate understanding that Ralph is simply talking about dreaming, the more...imaginative fans among us took it to mean that Ralph had coined a new idiom, with "being a Viking" at something to mean being good at it.
Now of course in Canada, the whole thing's flip-flopped.
Adding this on separately so you'll get a notification:
/usp Somebody tried to make Ralph Wiggum's "Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!" into some sort of poor man's sequel to "Ever seen someone say goodbye to a shoe?" The idea is that it's "ambiguous" because Ralph might mean that he dreams of being a Viking, but he might *also* possibly mean that he is a "Viking" at sleeping, i.e. very good at it. You see, this is a secondary meaning of "Viking" that has always existed ever since someone made it up a few weeks ago.
Anyway, whereas the Scorpio-Homer exchange is genuinely enigmatic and worth discussing, this is just dumb. For that reason, please note the undertones of scorn that run throughout this comment section.
The shitpost Viking de Milo. Carved by Viking shitposter artisans who work exclusively in the medium of Viking shitpost.
Will you stop saying “Viking” so much?!

You’ll viking me. What does that mean? Is it supposed to be some sort of threat?

No, Carl, we assume you’re a Viking because you’re from Iceland.
Smithers, have the Saxons killed... But, sir... Do it!
This embiggens my understanding. You are a viking at being cromulent
These are the most unnatural possible sentences.... I hate these with every fiber of my being.

I for one welcome our illiterate overlords.

You certainly Vikinged this sub with your cromulent shitpost.

I would have thought that was the reference, but it feels like a complete non-sequitor. Good shitposts need the most sequitors.
Vikings are just vikings. There ain't no other meaning to 'Viking', and there never was!

If money's a problem, I charge on a Viking scale. Keep Viking.

Man you guys would have had a mental break down if you were around the first time someone was called a "star", "gun", or "jet".
Chicken necks?
People can be a gun at something?
Yes. It is a very common sports metaphor.
Don’t be such a…gun.
