About
The Bee Movie Script, also known by the introductory line "according to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly," is a copypasta that consists entirely of the full-length screenplay of the 2007 computer animated family comedy film Bee Movie, which is typically used in spamming and sh*tposting on various social media sites, most notably on Tumblr.
Origin
Bee Movie is a computer animated movie co-written and co-produced by comedian Jerry Seinfeld, and released in November 2007, featuring the exploits of the bee Barry B. Benson in the human world. Following the release of the film, the online screenplay database Script-O-Rama uploaded the full-length script of the movie, which would become adopted as the most frequently used version in the copypasta.[3]
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Spread
Years after the release, the movie gained a sizeable ironic following on the microblogging website Tumblr. On September 16th, 2013, Pastebin user KIDOUYUUTO uploaded Script-O-Rama's script to the site, where it gained over 23,000 views in the following years.[9] On September 19th, Tumblr user eggito submitted a screencap of his Facebook status featuring the script in its entirety, which gained over 60,000 notes in the following years.[8]
In October 2014, a Twitter account dedicated to spam-tweeting the script was launched, which completed its goal on October 10th and gained over 1,000 followers in the next year.[7] On October 17th, 2015, YouTuber Michelle Alvia uploaded an Undertale animation featuring the character Sans reading the script as secret weapon against the main character, gaining over 360,000 in the following 4 months. This video soon led to a notable resurgence of the spamming trend, with several Tumblr users posting the entire script and some YouTubers doing audio-narrative versions.[1][2] In response, some Tumblr users began spamming the full-length screenplays of other online cult films on the site, most notably Shrek[4] and The Dark Knight Rises.[5] On December 2nd, 2015, New York Magazine published an article about the practice,[6] mainly focusing on a Facebook post from November 27th that accrued more than 1,100 likes and nearly 4,000 shares as February 2nd, 2016.[10]

According to all known laws of memetics, there is no way a Bee Movie meme should be able to trend. Its fanbase is too small to get its fat little artwork off the fandom. The meme, of course, trends anyway, because memes don’t care what Don thinks is impossible.

According to all known laws
of aviation,
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Ooming!
Hang on a second.
Hello?
- Barry?
- Adam?
- Oan you believe this is happening?
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
Looking sharp.
Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.
Sorry. I'm excited.
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
A perfect report card, all B's.
Very proud.
Ma! I got a thing going here.
- You got lint on your fuzz.
- Ow! That's me!
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!
Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!
- Hey, Adam.
- Hey, Barry.
- Is that fuzz gel?
- A little. Special day, graduation.
Never thought I'd make it.
Three days grade school,
three days high school.
Those were awkward.
