The Killer Bean video game meme stems from the unexpected and highly anticipated open-world action title based on Jeff Lew's cult classic animation, Killer Bean Forever. Featuring a coffee bean protagonist with John Wick-style combat skills, the game's development updates quickly became a staple for internet humor due to their blend of impressive physics and hilarious premise. The meme typically highlights moments of extreme confidence, over-the-top action, or the absurdity of a caffeinated bean performing tactical maneuvers. It is widely used by gamers to celebrate indie development or to mock serious tactical shooters by comparing them to the ultimate bean-based combat experience.
