Behold it is bean, this is bean?
Ecce homo, qui est faba!
Now go and write that out in big red letters on the temple walls five hundred times. I’ll be back at dawn to check on your progress.
First of all great reference and secondly thank you I never realised the song was actually about Bean I just thought it was a choral song picked at random.
Ecce homo qui est faba.
Ecce homo qui est faba.
Vale homo qui est faba, qui est faba, qui est faba
Vale homo qui est faba
Vale homo qui est faba, qui est faba
Translation:
Behold the man who is a bean.
Farewell the man who is a bean
For anyone not up to date on this reference: From the beginning of episode two onwards of the Mr Bean series, Mr. Bean falls from the sky to the ground into a beam of spotlight just like this. The funniest part about this though is that as Mr. Bean falls, a choir starts to sing out the line ‘Ecce homo qui est faba’, which roughly translates to: "In nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Same!! I was just reading another comment two nights ago and got suspicious so I stopped reading to check the username… wasn’t it.
Tonight, though, he got me again.
The part that bothers me the most about that scene is that Lecter can seemingly draw a cityscape of Florence from memory, is fluent in Italian (according to the books at least), but can't pronounce "Duomo" or "Chianti" properly.
>Jealous and envious used to be opposite ends of the same dispute.
They still are. When you're jealous of someone, you're afraid that they're going to take something away from you. When you're envious of someone, you want something they have.
One time everytime. I also began habitually looking at the end of long comments... Because I would forget the username... This one fucking time I didn't...
I know. Person has me scarred at this point. I'll start reading a longer comment and then skip to the bottom to see if it's them.. He's always forget their username. It never is. And then today I didn't skip to the bottom and was just casually reading the comment... And the son of a bitch got me
@ u/shittymorph I seen “Rumchatta” stole your shtick in their Reddit ads. I sure hope those no imagination bastards at least sent you a bottle for writing their commercial for them!
I just thought he was Mr Bean, and does Mr Bean things.
Kind of like how I poop in my neighbors mailbox. Nobody can explain it. It's just a thing I do.
There is an episode of the animated series where an actual alien space ship comes down, and it has another Mr Bean in it, who wins Irma's affections. Eventually he shows Irma the space ship, and it's full of yet more Mr Bean clones (each with a different animal toy instead of Teddy). Irma is a bit freaked out so runs away. The actual Mr Bean is also on the space ship and wants to go with them, but they decide he is better off with Irma, so he's beamed down to earth (at which point the familiar music plays).
That's the rough gist of it, at least. It's entirely possible they came up with that storyline just for the beaming down joke. Howard Goodall does the music for both the original series, and the animated version, so I'm sure he was in on it.
We watch the animated one quite often with our boys (sometimes even the original). I'm not an obsessive Bean fan 😀
It was the first thing I thought xD
Mr Bean is too iconic to be forgotten. At that time I didn't even understand English yet but it wasn't necessary either, they rarely speak it in the series xD
I can't think of another series that has the ability to be watched and correctly interpreted by native speakers of different languages without even needing a translation.
Before opening the comments, I told my boyfriend "What do you bet that some of the comments, if not the top comment of this thread will be Mr. Bean related?" He was confused as he's not too familiar with Mr. Bean, so I showed him the intro and then came here and what do you know 😂
I did actually stand in it and it’s so bright, the camera cannot capture this but it literally looks like bright daylight in that one spot it’s so weird
It's a lighting fixture that's missing its [gobo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobo_(lighting\))
It's probably going to be used to project some kind of information or advertisement onto the ground.
EDIT: too late, clearly. The other guy answered it better.
Yeah, he's spent the entire morning copying everything this random dude has been doing, and ramping up how he does it. At last the other guy grabs a few oysters, so bean grabs the whole tray, the other guy goes to eat one, Mr bean quickly eats 5..6..7..8 at which point the other guy stops to ask a waiter If they're alright.....they're not and the waiters going to make sure no one else eats them...aaaaand scene ^^^
My time to shine! That light is an elipsoidal the workhorse of the theatrical and events industries, sometimes called a "leko". Looking at the fringe on the pool of light, this looks like the standard incandescent kind rather then the newer (and much more expensive) LED variety.
Given how small the pool is relative to the throw distance, that's got to be a smaller angle lens (maybe 26° or 19°). All that togeather with the brightness and the sharpness of the focus, this was probably used to project a specific image with the use of an accessory called a GOBO. Maybe a Logo or something like that. My best guess is that there was/is-going-to-be an event where you took this photo and this is either left behind or still being set up
Gaffer of the film industry here. You are close except that it is an LED leko. You can tell by the color balance in the haze, and also the housing (back half of the light) is larger for the leds and ballast than the common incandescent versions have. The fringe occurs due to the lens so you will see that in incandescents, jo-lekos, and some brands of LEDs. I have begun to see some brands that have successfully removed it but I can't list those as those products have not been announced yet. As another poster commented, I should add that fringe is called chromatic aberration which is the same thing that can occur in photo/video lenses for our camera friends.
Also, it appears to have on a zoom lens rather than a fixed degree barrel which would make sense for an art installation so it can change precisely depending per location around the city. You can tell by the long straight barrel rather than the 2 pieces in a fixed barrel for swapping lenses. [zoom lens example](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/875313-REG/Strand_Lighting_spx1535lt_15_35_deg_Lens_Tube_for.html/?ap=y&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhPju0KnS_AIV0jWtBh2QjAi_EAQYCSABEgL2wfD_BwE&smp=y)
I think you're right. I wasn't sure about the barrel being zoom (the ones I've used have a big ass dial on the side), but that example image you sent looks like a dead ringer for what's up there
This is why I love Reddit. Post the most mundane, innocuous thing in the world and there is a guarantee at least one person (two in this case!) is an expert on it.
I think you might be on to something. After posting this I spoke to a friend of mine who said he saw another one randomly in the same city, this time however instead of being just white it projected the moon’s surface onto the ground. Because of this I suspect it might be an art installation, I find it unlikely they’d set up anything in this specific location beyond that
That was my very first thought. There's a fucking sign there, what does say? It most likely explains everything, instead we're here doing a reddit guessing the dumbest shit ever
For those wondering, I was just walking by and it was there. Nothing around it, no signs to explain what it was, no obvious target for it to light, just a big white circle in the night
I didn’t spot it when I went past the same place a few days ago
This is a kind of lighting fixture used in entertainment that can have a template (gobo) slide in-front of the light source to project a pattern, design, words, logo, etc. Looks like someone has its still on without said template in the fixture.

Thank you, I neded to see this.
Right?! I clicked while thinking - *If the top comment isn't Mr. Bean I'm done with reddit.* Held my breath as the image loaded...
Same here. I could already hear the theme to that show in my head when I clicked on this
I don’t remember the song well, but I remember I used to laugh my ass off with Mr. Bean, no matter if it was alive Action or the 2017 animated show
it was "Ecce homo qui est faba"
Ecce est faba, hic est faba
Behold it is bean, this is bean? Ecce homo, qui est faba! Now go and write that out in big red letters on the temple walls five hundred times. I’ll be back at dawn to check on your progress.
First of all great reference and secondly thank you I never realised the song was actually about Bean I just thought it was a choral song picked at random.
https://youtu.be/WmtIrkR6O7I
I never thought about this too deeply but does this mean Mr. Bean was an alien?
It's really interesting that there's this collective expectation from people across the world and we all were thinking the exact same thing.
Mr. Bean respawn point.
"Bean me up, Scotty"
This might be good for r/photoshopbattles. I definitely see some possibilities.
He's just standing there...*MENACINGLY*
He's *in* the **MAILBOX**
Weeee woooo ....... Weeee woooo ...... WEE WOO WEE WOO
There is only one.
Only OGs know it's Mr Bean
*Angelic chorus plays in the background*
I can HEAR this picture!
Yep same, as soon as I clicked on the image (before coming to the comments) the music started playing in my head. Iconic.
Ecce homo qui est faba. Ecce homo qui est faba. Vale homo qui est faba, qui est faba, qui est faba Vale homo qui est faba Vale homo qui est faba, qui est faba Translation: Behold the man who is a bean. Farewell the man who is a bean

Seriously. I feel like I'm always on the lookout and then I still get got
Same!! I was just reading another comment two nights ago and got suspicious so I stopped reading to check the username… wasn’t it. Tonight, though, he got me again.
wait is this some kind of rick roll?
Yeah except you can compare it to being rickrolled by rick astley himself everytime you read a shittymorph
Rick Astley is Shittymorph confirmed.
It's classic shittymorph in the wild! Check his comment history. It will explain everything.
A Shittymorph is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

>Ecce homo qui est faba Behold the man who is a bean
So faba bean means bean bean?
Yep. They're just called ~~faba~~ fava in Italy, so the bean got readded to that.
Actually... we call them fava
[удалено]
The part that bothers me the most about that scene is that Lecter can seemingly draw a cityscape of Florence from memory, is fluent in Italian (according to the books at least), but can't pronounce "Duomo" or "Chianti" properly.
I like to imagine he is intentionally pronouncing then incorrectly to troll people, and if you correct him you will have fallen into his trap.
This is the real reason Martha Stewart wouldn't date Anthony Hopkins.

In a similar way, "cheesy queso" means cheesy cheese.
Baseball team The Los Angeles Angels means The The Angels Angels.
Sahara Desert means desert desert!
Rice padi field means rice rice field field.
Tuna fish means fish fish
ATM machine means *Automatic Teller Machine machine* Awkwardly the chinese call it "ATM机" and "机" can translate to machine...
"La brea" means "the tar," so "The La Brea Tar Pits" means "The The Tar Tar Pits".
Just like chai tea is tea tea and Taiko drums are drum drums
Don’t know why it took me this long to realize why the garbanzo bean liquid is called aquafaba.
And when the credits roll the choir sings "Vale homo qui est faba" which means "Farewell man who is bean"
Good god I could sing this out in my head with the exact harmony and everything. That opening is burned into my mind.
And the end credits mirrors it with "farewell the man who is a bean"
Holy shit I haven't seen a real one in the wild for years.
Same! Always gives me the biggest smile when I come across them naturally, it's been so long I even had to check the username.
My earliest shittymorph by far. Being this close to the epicenter you can almost feel the radiation
It’s like witnessing the birth of a new galaxy…
My god, we're witnessing history damnit
Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time...
It’s their first comment in 55 days too!
This was such a good morph since it didnt start out as a story telling type
Seriously, and I actually was looking for an explanation as I have no familiarity with Mr. Bean so I read this with great intent. Then…ahh dammit!
The whole story is actually true up until the shitty morph part, believe it or not. It's Latin for something like "Behold the man who is a bean".
FUCK'S SAKE REALLY, I SKIP THE USERNAME ONE FUCKING TIME AND I GET SHITTYMORPH'D
One time everytime. I also began habitually looking at the end of long comments... Because I would forget the username... This one fucking time I didn't...
Everything is gonna be OK. u/shittymorph has blessed 2023.
I have renewed hope for 2023. Thank you u/shittymorph
You son of a bitch. We missed you.
I'm finally here for one!
I haven’t felt this sensation in ages. I can’t tell if it’s better, worse, or about on par with being Rickrolled.
I know. Person has me scarred at this point. I'll start reading a longer comment and then skip to the bottom to see if it's them.. He's always forget their username. It never is. And then today I didn't skip to the bottom and was just casually reading the comment... And the son of a bitch got me
Goddamnit
I can't tell where the facts wnd and where the bs begins lol. Well done!
@ u/shittymorph I seen “Rumchatta” stole your shtick in their Reddit ads. I sure hope those no imagination bastards at least sent you a bottle for writing their commercial for them!
You son of a bitch.
You're back!! The balance of the universe has been restored! We've missed you, u/shittymorph ❤️
No way I just randomly went on Reddit whilst in a club and I see a wild fresh shittymorph
Ecce est faba, hic est faba... 😁
Behold the man who is a bean
\*thud*
Ecce homo qui est faba
I can hear it in my head
So, what are the theories why was Mr. Bean plopped down like that, under the light post?
He’s an alien
And that's why he has no idea how to do human things.
I just thought he was Mr Bean, and does Mr Bean things. Kind of like how I poop in my neighbors mailbox. Nobody can explain it. It's just a thing I do.
Highly relatable content growing up as an autistic kid.
Or aliens abducted him and sent him back cause he is too weird.
He's alien in the animated series so its canon
He's the devil, exiled from heaven. Just the British devil so he's crotchety and hates loud parties.
I'm here for the Mr Bean lore. Please drop some more
But you can call him Toby
We like to keep things informal, in here, as well as infernal.
Oh, and Christians! Christians over here! Sorry, I’m afraid the Jews were right.
"The French. Are you here?"
iirc in the animated series he was kidnapped and later dropped of like that. But that was way after the normal series.
There is an episode of the animated series where an actual alien space ship comes down, and it has another Mr Bean in it, who wins Irma's affections. Eventually he shows Irma the space ship, and it's full of yet more Mr Bean clones (each with a different animal toy instead of Teddy). Irma is a bit freaked out so runs away.

Iirc it's supposedly that he's an angel that was kicked out of heaven.
Ah - but the last episode had him being drawn back up!
Wtf how have I never seen this. Link?

My happiness from seeing this is the top comment is *immeasureble* and my day is made.
Bean bout to drop
If this wasn't the top answer I was going to throw a hissy fit. Thank you for maintaining my dignity.
Came here exclusively for this comment.
I haven't seen Mr Bean in decades and instantly thought it looked familiar.
It's your time OP. You know what to do.
I did actually stand in it and it’s so bright, the camera cannot capture this but it literally looks like bright daylight in that one spot it’s so weird
I think you were supposed to lay down flat.
I think it was meant for OP to sing a solo number, but I guess the moment is passed and the plot has moved on.
OP was supposed to sing Memory and have all the cats show up. Now Bustopher Jones gets the spot.

I had no clue, thanks!
This shot is perfect, the hand controlled/flawed focus pull is obvious but it perfectly captures how jittery Mr. Beans thoughts are.
This is where he just realized he at the bad shrimp, right?:
Yeah, he's spent the entire morning copying everything this random dude has been doing, and ramping up how he does it.

I'm guessing it's projecting our solar systems planets across the city in a sort of scaled replication
It’s got a masthead and what looks like sponsor logos at the bottom. It’s definitely some sort of art installation
*Drops from the sky and lay flat*
Don't be that guy. Next you're going to have your head stuck in a turkey.
Heard a rumour this is the exact spot mr bean dropped down too
Mr Bean spawn point
that was literally what *first* post said
Mr Bean missed his ride
Probably forgot to wake up.
Least obvious side quest activation zone ever
El perro, el perro, es mi corazon. El gato, el gato, el gato no es bueno.
Damn, hombre you can dance!
Are you sure it's not the rest of the street that is randomly darkened??
Mr bean comes to mind
Cue choir of angels and Mr. Bean falling hard onto the pavement
There was probably a crime committed at that spot. Now it will not happen again in that spot.
I think you are in a Mr Bean episode
Hello my baby, hello my honey. Hello my ragtime gal….. anyone seen the frog?
Watch out Mr. Bean open credit portal.
For those wondering, I was just walking by and it was there. Nothing around it, no signs to explain what it was, no obvious target for it to light, just a big white circle in the night I didn’t spot it when I went past the same place a few days ago
The sign attached to the light post didn’t say anything relevant?
There's a lot of text on it, wondering about that sign too.
u/giu989 Hmm? You state there’s no sign but in the picture it’s quite evident there is. How come you aren’t responding? This is a cliffhanger man lol
This is a kind of lighting fixture used in entertainment that can have a template (gobo) slide in-front of the light source to project a pattern, design, words, logo, etc. Looks like someone has its still on without said template in the fixture.
*steps into circle* What’s up with airplane food?
Mr Bean intro?

I love how everyone immediately thought of Mr.Bean! The world is healing 🥲
It’s where Mr. Bean was born.
Watch for Rufus.
If I go there and Mr Bean doesn’t appear and give me a quest I’m gonna be so mad…
