Jerry Seinfeld's crowning achievement wasn't his '90s sitcom Seinfeld, but his 2007 animated comedy The Bee Movie which tells the revolutionary story of a talking bee who somehow seduces a human woman. Seinfeld's second best achievement was when he tricked comedian Chris Rock into playing a mosquito named Muskrat in the same movie; it was a role Rock didn't seem too keen on, at least if Rock's words in a 2007 interview it has to be believed.

"He told me what it was, but he actually told me (director Steven) Spielberg was going to be in it and when I got there, there was no Spielberg," Rock explained. “So he kind of owes me. I don't know how.

Of course, Chris Rock was just one of the many celebrities inexplicably involved in the Bee Movie. He was joined in the film's cast by Ray Liotta and Sting playing themselves, John Goodman playing Sweetball, Oprah Winfrey as Judge Bumbleton and Patrick Warburton as the boy who gets bee-stained. It was a wild, star-studded movie that certainly didn't hurt Chris Rock's career trajectory. It also won't be the last time Seinfeld hosts something this silly.

"'The Bee Movie' is pretty good," Rock said in the same interview. "It's like a little better than Shrek."

Mooseblood's role in "Bee Movie" is rather brief. He meets Barry while traveling in a truck transporting honey. They talk for a bit before Mooseblod spots a truck carrying blood and decides to jump to that vehicle instead. (He's greeted by a bunch of other friendly mosquitoes.) Mooseblood's real contribution to the film is thematic: he's there to subtly set the stage for the film's main thesis, that moderation is the best policy on most issues.

Barry later learns that while humans exploiting bees is wrong, it's also not a good idea to cut humans off from honey, as this will cause bees to become lazy and flowers around the world to no longer receive the pollination they deserve. is necessary. For this scene, however, Barry is simply introduced to the life of a mosquito; while bees live in overly connected, collectivist communities, mosquito society is a libertarian dream, with "every mosquito alone." No way of life is entirely satisfactory, the film argues; much like a compromise between humans and bees, a middle ground between the bee and mosquito lifestyles would be best for both Mooseblood and Berry.

Mooseblood appears later in the film for a lighthearted joke about becoming a lawyer. "I was already a blood-sucking parasite," he tells his new client, "All I needed was the briefcase." It's a cynical joke, sure, but an upbeat note for Mooseblood's character to end on. Much like how Barry finds a healthy compromise between total bee obedience and total bee freedom, Mooseblood finds a way to help other people while staying true to his individualistic mosquito code. It may not be honey, but Mooseblood's ending sure is sweet.
