The "Aurora Borealis" meme originated from a scene in *The Simpsons* where Principal Skinner, during an unexpected kitchen fire, tries to distract Superintendent Chalmers by claiming the northern lights, or "aurora borealis," are present inside his kitchen. Chalmers, confused, asks incredulously if Skinner really means the aurora borealis is happening "at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?" This absurd exchange became an internet sensation, spawning countless variations where people use the phrase in similarly illogical or ridiculous scenarios, making it a popular meme for surreal humor.
