Video Essay Explores the Weirdness of BEE MOVIE Memes and Why Certain Source Material Becomes Meme-ified
Since I spend most of my time writing about movies and television, I don't have a ton of time to keep up with meme culture. But apparently there's been an influx of memes involving Bee Movie recently (actually, this might have been going on for years, as far as I know), and PBS Idea Channel is here to explain why that particular movie has become a go-to film for meme-ificiation. And why do people consistently use "Smash Mouth" or "Smooth" in ridiculous meme videos these days? This video tries to get to the bottom of that, too. I found the results to be enlightening, and in a nice twist, this video itself has become an entry in the bizarre Bee Movie meme subculture because it's the entire movie, but every time the word "bee" is said, the video essay plays in its entirety. Luckily for those of us who only want to watch the essay once, the first instance of the word "bee" happens almost instantly.
