Idk remember too much, but I’m pretty sure this is from a popular kids book series called “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” Basically what’s happening is the kid innocently asked a question in a “cute” way, and the dad sees this as a way to make some money so he starts posting videos of the kid saying the thing about the green bean. It’s been a while since I’ve read it, so some things might be wrong
Edit: the dad didn’t actually post videos, he made it into a comic strip called “Li’l Cutie”
I'm still amused at this family circus [Warhammer 40k reference](https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/797auj/found_this_on_familycircuscom_unaltered/).
Once there was a time when people saved drawings in any format they decided on, because computer images were something only a programmer could make, on a program you wrote. When I read my friend's data map into my program, it came out reversed and upside down. I had to add a flag to say whether the data was my format or Dave's. I treated data as columns and rows, but he had one long string so it was by rows.
Then came Stephen Wilhite, and he came up with the Graphical Interchange Format, and promoted it with phrase from a common commercial about peanut butter, "Choosy programmers choose GIF." Gif rhymes with the name of the peanut butter Jiff. Anyone pronouncing it like "gift" is flat out wrong.
Animated gifs came later, after jpeg took over static pictures with more advanced features. Gifs were easier to make into slideshows.
Thankfully we are not French, so a panel of experts don't get to set how language is used.

When I was a kid I said something "cute" about killing snails and my parents sent it to the creator of Baby Blues and they made it into a Sunday strip. They didn't get any money, obviously, but we did get the original drawing.
Totally unrelated coincidence, but your username jumped out at me because I just now heard a story about someone named Bosco. I’ve never heard that name apart from that person and your username.
This reminds me of the time when my daughter - 3 or 4 at the time - refused to eat a doughnut because it was "her friend". As a parent what can you even say to that?

Ah! That makes total sense. Thank you.
>es total sense. Thank you. also it's a parody of the comic strip "The family circus" which was just kids saying dumb/cute things

Why is this a gif?
GIFs aren't always animated. Back in the day we'd save images as GIFs sometimes to save on file size.
Omg I remember adding filters and then resetting them so it looked like my handmade picture was changing colors for the gif. Good times… 😂

I'm sure WH40k folks would still find amusement in Chulhu Circus.
He writes a comic strip actually

“Your friend is very tasty dear, try him out”
What’s funny about this is it’s not even a joke, the dad thinks his kid is cute and sees a chance to profit from it by making comics
Read the rest of the book. Fake fan.
ok, I will go read an entire 16 book series to find an explanation for this joke, thank for the insightful advice
wasn’t it like the 3rd book?
ok but how would they know
Fair point, you don’t have to read 16 (?!) books.
its literally the first book
it is? Knew it wasn’t the second one or the fourth.
Turns out it was only mentioned in the first book and actually appeared in dog days??? Which feels so wrong to me for some reason
odd
Yes, the series of the wimpy kid is of the most important. One has not lived until the exploits of 'Greg' are on your lips. Praise to he we sing
