In this episode of Film Theory, MatPat delves into the complexity of Bee Movie memes, particularly one that combines multiple memes into an 8-hour video. He humorously critiques the absurdity of these trends and undertakes a mathematical challenge to calculate the hypothetical length of an ultimate meme video. The video would include layers of various internet trends and memes, leading to an impossibly long runtime that far exceeds the age of the universe. MatPat uses this exaggerated example to illustrate the vastness of internet culture and its penchant for taking jokes to extreme lengths.
Here are the key facts:
1. The video is about a meme that took YouTube by storm, which involves the Bee Movie, We Are Number One, and TheLegend27.
2. The meme involves replacing certain words or phrases with other videos or sounds.
3. The video creator, MatPat, tries to calculate the length of the longest, meme-iest video ever conceived.
4. The calculation involves multiple layers of replacement, including SpongeBob SquarePants, the Bee Movie, the Simpsons, and YouTube videos.
5. The calculation is based on the number of times each replacement action happens, and involves a lot of multiplication.
6. The creator uses a conservative approach to estimate the number of times a bee appears in the Bee Movie.
7. The total runtime of SpongeBob SquarePants is 270,600 seconds.
8. The Bee Movie has a runtime of 82 minutes and 4 seconds.
9. The Simpsons has aired 609 episodes, with an average of 2145 words per script.
10. The total number of words in the Simpsons canon is approximately 1.3 million.
11. YouTube has over 630 million hours of video uploaded to it.
12. The Toy Story trilogy has a total runtime of 4 hours 36 minutes and 40 seconds.
13. The Ice Age pentology has a total of 34,085 syllables.
14. The final calculation yields a length of 8 octillion, 672 septillion, 127 sextillion, 482 quintillion years.
15. This length of time is longer than the lifespan of the universe.
16. The universe is estimated to die via heat death in around 4 to 5 billion years.
17. The Earth's water can be refilled one drop at a time, but it would take longer than the length of the video to refill.
