Beans comes from Baldi's Basics, the surreal horror parody game first released in 2018 by Mystman12. He is one of the hallway characters who wanders chewing gum and, when he spots the player, offers to show a trick before spitting a sticky wad that slows movement. Clips of his line spread through gameplay videos, animations and soundboards because the voice acting is so earnest. The drawn out call and final spit became a reusable setup and punchline for fan edits beyond the game itself.
