The 'Human Bean' meme is a popular linguistic pun that replaces the word 'being' with the edible legume. While the phrase has appeared in literature like Roald Dahl's 'The BFG,' its internet fame skyrocketed through a mix of common misspellings and the soundtrack of the 2011 film 'Drive.' Fans began pairing the song 'A Real Hero' with images of beans, turning the lyric 'a real human being' into 'a real human bean.' The meme often features surreal imagery of kidney or pinto beans with human faces or clothing, representing a blend of wholesome wordplay and 'weird internet' humor. It remains a go-to template for highlighting awkward mistakes or creating intentionally absurd content.
