Everyone on the internet planet has heard of spamming. This hilarious clip shows you it’s origins. The term spam is derived from the Monty Python SPAM sketch , set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. As the server recites the SPAM-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM... lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM," hence "SPAMming" the dialogue.
