The 'Simpsons Monkey Knife Fight' meme features a screenshot from an episode of the American animated TV show The Simpsons. The image depicts a chaotic scene where two monkeys, each holding a knife, are fighting each other while a group of people watch eagerly, placing bets on the outcome.

OriginWho did it first?

This meme originated from an episode of The Simpsons titled "The Mansion Family," which aired on January 23rd, 2000. In this episode, Homer Simpson, who is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, takes control of a ship and ventures into international waters where he observes an organized knife fight between monkeys. Years later, on December 11th, 2007, YouTuber djbuddylove3000 uploaded a 'mockumentary' style video featuring this monkey knife fight from the episode, which can be viewed here.^[1]
