Memes / Bee Movie

You like jazz?

Bee Movie, but it's a trope page about memes.

---

• The entire film, on Tumblr. Every single ridiculous thing in the movie, especially the concept of a woman leaving her boyfriend of fifteen years for a bee (dubbed bee-stiality by Tumblr) is made fun of.
• There is a popular YouTube fad similar to "We Are Number One" where random elements are added to clips of the film every time the word "Bee" is said (e.g. the film speeds up, the word bee is censored or multiplied, etc.) It's now started an entire YouTube fad where films or video clips are sped up more every time a certain word is said. One popular example was "The Bee Movie but every time they say bee it gets faster" (which was taken down, but an alternative can be found here).
• They put a bee in a human hospital bed.
• "That bee is living my life!"
• "Are you her little.. bed bug?"^Explanation Montgomery asks Barry if he and Vanessa sleep together.
• "WHY IS YOGURT NIGHT SO DIFFICULT?!?!"
• "You like jazz?"^Explanation Barry considered saying this to Vanessa as his first words to her. The line's inclusion in the trailer made it particularly popular.
• And in light of Frozen (2013), we have "Let it go, Kenny."◊
• The film also makes up 25% of Bee Shrek Test in the House.
• Bee Movie script stress test ^Explanation A particularly amusing way to test how much text a website's comment system can handle is pasting as much of the film's script as you can into a single message and seeing if it gets accepted. Savvy people live in fear of the phrase "According to all known laws of aviation..."
  • A crossing of the meme with the "The Nutshack but every Nutshack is replaced with X" meme indirectly led to the "Bee Movie but X" meme described above.
• This movie is often associated to the "It's hip to fuck bees" song, which became a meme thanks to Vinesauce.
• Bee Movie includes "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
• "Mah britches!"
  • "Mah heaving buttocks!"
• Ken's dumbfounded reaction to the line "I'm helping [Barry] sue the human race" has caught on as a two-panel image macro, with the first panel depicting Vanessa saying something equally absurd, and Ken's reaction forming the second panel.
• Referring to Montgomery as boogie2988.^Explanation Both of them are very rotund.
• The scene where Ken tries to squish Barry with his winter boots which strongly resemble Timberland boots (or "Timbs") which are already a meme themselves.
• "NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES!!!" ^Explanation A parody of Nicholas Cage's utterly Narm-y performance in The Wicker Man, often quoted whenever someone has had enough of the Bee Movie memes.
• Comparisons to Bumblebee were also inevitable, given that it's also about a human girl developing a relationship with Bee/a bee. Even the official Transformers Wiki is in on the joke.
• People ironically criticizing the movie for biological inaccuracies, such as blood-sucking male mosquitoes, worker bees being of both sexes, or real bees creating honey by vomiting.
• There's also an infamous rip-off film entitled Plan Bee, itself very memetic due to its absurd anti-imperialist plot, hideous character design, and yes, bees making honey by vomiting.
• The movie's script is sometimes posted as a copy-pasta.
  • The script is occasionally posted for trolling/activism, such as when the state of Missouri created a website in 2023 to publicly report trans people. The internet responded by flooding the site with the script from the film.
• Montgomery's Minor Injury Overreaction upon being stung by Adam became a popular reaction image to someone being overdramatic over small things, with a severely undercranked version being particularly popular as a reaction GIF.
• This image of Barry has gained a meme status due to how odd it looks.
• The courtroom bear scene but with a twist.
