Bee Movie Emoji

Bee Movie Emoji, or "pngbarrybbenson", is one of the oldest and most infamous Meme Council emojis to date.
== Origins ==
The Bee Movie emoji started out its lifetime in another server of Meme Lord's, where he brought it into the Meme Council during its creation. As a result, it is the 3rd oldest emoji on the Council, and to date has never been altered or removed. It is also one of the most frequently used emojis, and unlike Memeskipper, most memebers loved using the emoji, more often than not pairing it with a pointing hand emoji on either side. It was sent for the first time on October 25, 2018 by Redneck Memer in response to Sly Frog Fry. While Meme Lord would use it frequently, the emoji became Tactician's favorite when he joined the Council.
The image in itself is a single frame of the Bee Movie during the Honex tour scene, at 0:03:48 into the Bee Movie. It is a hard frame to catch, as he is midway through a blink. The image was found randomly on Google while Meme Lord was browsing Barry B Benson memes, and is a rather obscure Bee Movie meme nowadays, despite the large number of Bee Movie freeze frame memes. It is likely Meme Lord who made the image transparent, but the crop is original. 
== Meaming (Meaning) ==
Like all Meme Council emojis, with long history comes a lot of emotions, and while obviously the emoji itself displays an emotion its worth noting how its meaning has changed over the years. The Bee Movie emoji was the very first Mailman-image-type image ever sent and used in the Council. Obviously most of the memieness comes from the fact that its freaking Barry b. Benson from the Bee Movie, but the facial expression alone was perfect. A smug smirk, the squinted eyes being the cherry on top. Often the Bee movie emoji was just used as a replacement of the word "bee", or used to replace the letter "b" in some messages. Like it was previously stated however, the Bee Movie Emoji was most prominently used when combined with other emojis, typically a revolver or a pointing hand back in the early days.
However it returned to its roots as a simple smug expression, the smirk conveying much meaning. It is very much worth noting that the Bee Movie Emoji is not the same as Memeskipper. While the two are used interchangeably nowadays they convey separate emotions, Memeskipper conveys a more smug knowing, a silent understanding. The Bee Movie Emoji conveys more a pleased expression, looking a little sly, as if he knows what he did. Its rather hard to explain, but perhaps it'll be easier to explain if you simply compare the Bee Movie Emoji to that frame of Hulk grinning from Avengers (2013). You know the one.
The Bee Movie emoji remained popular, the sheer stupid cropped grinning Barry b Benson face being perfect for many conversations, and keeping the Bee Movie relevant in the Council. On 11/4/2019, a "bee" command is added to Megamind, which can be triggered by the Bee Movie Emoji.
== The Reformatting ==
The Bee Movie Emoji, recently, became far more primarily used whenever a female was mentioned in the Council. There's a good chance that this is what you see the Bee Movie Emoji being used for primarily nowadays. The difference, however, between this and Memeskipper, is that the Bee Movie Emoji didn't simply replace a previous emoji or substitute for some phrase, or cover a wide enough variety of emotions that it worked, or anything else. It was a purely natural transition, the emoji just perfectly fit.
The first time this was done (at least the most straightforward time) was on August 6, 2021, by Meme Lord. Sly Frog Fry and Meme Lord were discussing Strangle characters, when Sly Frog Fry mentions that he thinks Sadie Sink, the actress for Max, is 'pretty', to which Meme Lord responds with the Bee Movie emoji. This wouldn't exactly be the first time the emoji was sent in this exact context, but the meaning behind the emoji hadn't changed and both individuals in this conversation knew what it meant.
The Bee Movie Emoji henceforth became the go-to emoji used whenever a Memeber was discussing a female, often the emoji being sent and nothing else. It got to the point where the emoji was used as a pictograph exclusively for a 'hot' female, often used jokingly whenever Tactician talked about Hot Robot Girl game due to its inclusion of characters like 2B and A2. This got taken further until The Bee Movie Emoji was almost only used for hot females, sometimes being verbally said as "bee movie emoji'. It was often used as an identifier, such as when cringe Abington students only like some females because "bee movie emoji". or used to accurately describe said female's entire personality. The Snazzmaster even once used Bee Movie Emojis as censors for a certain bodypart for a Garphic prompt. Megamind will also react to any message where a female is mentioned with the emoji.
Nowadays Memeskipper has somewhat filled the gap and is used whenever a female is mentioned, but the Bee Movie emoji is still used quite a lot.
