Rice and Beans

MMmmmmwwoouuld you like rice and beans on that?
== Origins ==
While the Rice and Beans joke in itself existed for quite a while, they would not come into Meme Council circles until Meme Lord had Big Tanner's famous 8th mod math class in Junior year. WMD and T. Burns were making the jokes from day 1 of the class, Meme Lord never quite getting what the joke was supposed to be except for the concurrent tone of voiced used for it. One day, they explained that they were quoting Mike Beck, a legend that worked at the local Moes. Meme Lord caught on and enjoyed it, and the three made the joke quite often, sometimes much to Big Tanner's annoyance. It wasn't until around Janurary that Meme Lord started bringing the joke into the Council. 
The first time the joke would be mentioned in the Council was on Janurary 28, 2020, by Carl Wheezer. The joke was made seldom in the Council at this point, however. 
However, some people just have to ruin things for no reason, and it was on February 18, 2020, when suddenly, Big Tanner would announce to the class that "some people" were "offended" by the Rice and Beans jokes, and the jokes were from now on, banned from class. A very confused class looked amongst each other as to who could possibly choose to be offended by Rice and Beans, and having a hunch, Big Tanner was privately asked if the person who happened to have been skipping class for over 2 weeks was the same who said they were offended by Rice and Beans jokes. Surprisingly, Big Tanner confirmed this. (Possibly because he found it a bit ridiculous himself)
After confirming this information, of course, the Rice and Beans jokes weren't going anywhere. WMD, T. Burns, and Meme Lord were gonna have to change tactics. Thus, the joke was transformed that day, to a simple solution: Rhymes. For example, instead of Rice and Beans, 'Mice and Jeans' was said, or 'Lice and Submarines', and so on. This became an even stronger, more rampant joke. If anything, Warner had just made the joke stronger than ever. And Big Tanner had no arguments to say the entire time, often chuckling at the jokes from time to time. Even when T. Burns sometimes straight up asked why Rice and Beans was banned, Big Tanner often had trouble explaining why other than "some found it offensive". 
On 2/19/2020, it was found that other Class of 2021 students recognized the Rice and Beans lines, such as Zach Bohr Model, who actually gave Meme Lord more lines that he heard from Mike Beck whenever he went to Moes. This same day, four other students randomly started discussing it, and the joke spread throughout the school for the next few days. Some others include A. Saxe and Zane. 
On 3/11/2020, yet another Rice and Beans nonbeliever would try to stop the joke. While Meme Lord was explaining the full Rice and Beans lore to A. Saxe and Zane in his period 4 Chemistry class, Bernard randomly interjected in and said "Please don't talk about my friend". (Referring to Warner) Meme Lord made it quite clear the person he's been talking about for over two minutes is Mike Beck, not Warner. Bernard, seemingly hearing this, still responds "Well don't talk about Warner". Bernard repeats this to A. Saxe. Meme Lord and Saxe have a mutual silent understanding before going right back into discussion about Rice and Beans. Interestingly, Saxe and Zane instantly figure out on their own it was Warner who was offended by Rice and Beans. Based.
It is later discovered that Warner's whole reason for being offended by Rice and Beans was simply due to her working at Moes for a limited time, so she assumed, for some reason, that we were making fun of her 'coworker'. That was it. 
The joke stayed alive and well until the final days of that class, during a certain virus of unknown origins it was often said in the zoom chat, and it would remain a staple of that class for all eternity.

On 1/5/2021, Meme Lord would actually go to the Moes in question, finally meet Mike Beck, and get all the genuine lines recorded. These would prove to be quite useful down the line. 
And on 1/16/2022, Meme Lord created "Mike Beck - Moes Inc", a parody of "Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc". A hit tune indeed.
Rice and Beans was added as a command to Megamind, as well as a Rice and Beans randomizer, in which Megamind would auto-generate rhymes for Rice and Beans. 
Rice and Beans also got a cameo in the MegaMeme Pack, replacing cocoa beans.
