In The Simpsons episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" after eating a worm in class Ms Hoover tells Ralph to go to sleep, in which he replies with the line "oh boy sleep! Thats where I'm a viking!".
Does young Ralph dream of Nordic adventures or is he a really good sleeper?

I always interpreted it as him being really good at sleep. I never thought of him dreaming of being a viking. But I like it. It is now my new head canon.

I don't think Ralph even knows what a metaphor is.

Count me on in thinking Ralph was saying he’s excellent at sleeping.

Every alpha male is a viking in their dreams and nobody is more alpha than Ralph.

This chart is the best example I can think of that would represent a Viking accurately. Just put a helmet with horns on his head.   |
