Burger is Back marathon

Maximals.
== Prologue ==
Meme Lord had been trying to get Mike Kachowski and Sly Frog Fry watch the Transformers movies since 6/22/2018, and was making no progress. It wasn't until 7/10/2022 when The Snazzmaster suggested they do a Meme Council transformers watch party, much to Meme Lord's approval. The original plan was to do it in the Council's voice chat, as the 80's Dune watch party went very well that way. The watch party would be referenced from time to time, but it didn't start to become a reality until 6/20/2023 when Meme Lord, Tactician and The Snazzmaster discussed them at length and decided to actually do the watch party that summer.
Coincidentally, right around at this time, Meme Lord had recently become obsessed with the awful marketing for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and turned the dialogue for the football jumbotron overlay, which he made a video of, into a Councilpasta. On 6/24/2023, Meme Lord and The Snazzmaster spammed this repeatedly throughout the day, and Mike Kachowski is invited to the watch party. It still took a while to get the event organized, and it was decided to watch just the first 3 films. On 7/10/2023, the event was fully planned out to take place at multiple memeber's houses to watch the 3 movies, and then cap it off with a trip to Arby's due to the recent autism gained from the Mr. Krabs eats arbys meme video, which recently had become many memeber's favorite meme.
== The Week of Transformers ==
* 7/16/2023 - Sunday
** The event finally began on July 16, 2023. Meme Lord, Tactician, Sly Frog Fry, The Snazzmaster, and Mike Kachowski attended to watch the first 2007 Transformers, and Revenge of the Fallen at Tactician's household. Meme Lord brought a few old transformers toys of his own to add to the theme.
* 7/17/2023 - Monday
** The event continued, now at Meme Lord's household, where everyone (except Sly Frog Fry) returned to watch Dark of the Moon (the best one). Afterwards, just before closing, the gang made it to Arby's. It was here where they spotted the sign outside which famously said "burger is back". This is quoted to this day and is synonymous with the entire Meme Council Transformers Marathon. It was also at this Arby's where the 'meat mountain', a menu item that Meme Lord planned to ironically purchase, could not be purchased, as the cashier, stated, quote "I am sorry but we do NOT have the meats." Ringo had decided to join at this point and he had to be let in by Meme Lord due to the fact that Arbys had locked its doors.
* 7/20/2023 - Thursday
** The plan had changed, and the memebers wanted to continue the marathon, all the way to the end. Meme Lord was apprehensive, as while everyone generally enjoyed the 4th film and BumbleBee enough, Rise of the Beasts was going to be a dumpster fire, and Meme Lord vehemently argued against watching it. Unfortunately, Mike Kachowski got sick, and did not continue the marathon with the others. This day for the marathon, the Burger is Back gang decided to watch Age of Extinction and The Last Knight at Tactician's household. Sly Frog Fry returned to watch Age of Extinction, but lost interest a bit into The Last Knight.
* 7/21/2023 - Friday
** The finale to the marathon. Bumblebee and, Meme Lord finally caving, Rise of the Beasts, would be watched at The Snazzmaster's household. Only Tactician, The Snazzmaster, and Meme Lord attended. Meme Lord ceremoniously purchased Gorilla Munch for the event, which was kept in front of the TV for the entirety of Rise of the Beasts. Rise of the Beasts would be watched on the funny site mainly due to Meme Lord's spite against paying money to watch such a predictably awful film. Rise of the Beasts turned out to not only be one of the absolute worst movies the memebers had ever seen, but not even ironically enjoyable. What was more entertaining was quoting the Optimus Primal councilpasta every 5 seconds, Meme Lord purposefully leaving discord unmuted (at request) so random discord notifications were throughout the movie (including a truly hilariously well-timed one when Optimus slides into the frame). Meme Lord immediately made a mini YTP of the film, with several jokes from the Burger is Back marathon inserted, to commemorate the event, the awfulness of the film, and Transformers in general.
== Legacy ==
The Meme Council Transformers marathon truly was one of the most successful Meme Council events to date; not only did it successfully introduce some memebers to these films, but it opened an entire gateway for new memes, which are still quoted to this day. The Maximals clip in particular has been quoted so much that it is now a Megamind command that is sent if anybody ever even says "max". Several stupid lines from Rise of the Beasts are also still quoted such as the infamous "when Scourge touches you, he leaves a mark". Meme Lord constructed a trophy case out of the empty cheeseball container that was used at every single location whilst the memebers watched the movies, filled with trinkets from each event, and the full Optimus Primal councilpasta written on its outside.
