This disappeared when the site gained automatic copyright checks, but is still used in [YouTube Poop](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/YouTubePoop \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/YouTubePoop\") as a tradition.\n- r\/bikinibottomtwitter ExplanationOn [April 1](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/AprilFoolsDay \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/AprilFoolsDay\"), the [subreddit](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Website\/Reddit \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Website\/Reddit\") r\/blackpeopletwitter morphed into Bikini Bottom Twitter. It proved so popular with the subscribers that it became its own [subreddit![](https:\/\/static.tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pub\/external_link.gif)](https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/BikiniBottomTwitter\/) not even a day later.\n- Many of the memes in the \"Episode-specific\" section were adopted to mock the disappointing [Super Bowl](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/UsefulNotes\/SuperBowl \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/UsefulNotes\/SuperBowl\") LIII halftime show, where a rendition of \"Sweet Victory\" was promised:\n  - \"You used me, FOR [SICKO MODE](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Music\/TravisScott \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Music\/TravisScott\")!\" Explanation The original meme being \"You used me...for LAND DEVELOPMENT!\" from \"Walking Small\". In the wake of Stephen Hillenburg's passing, over one million SpongeBob fans signed a petition for [Maroon 5](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Music\/Maroon5 \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Music\/Maroon5\") to perform Sweet Victory at the 53rd [Super Bowl](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/UsefulNotes\/SuperBowl \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/UsefulNotes\/SuperBowl\"). Major news outlets took note and hints were dropped towards the song being played. Finally, several minutes into the halftime show, Squidward appeared in marching band attire to introduce \"a true musical genius who needs no introduction\", and the opening trumpets of Send them Victorious played just like in the episode \"Band Geeks\", only for it to be a bait-and-switch with Sicko Mode playing instead of Sweet Victory. To say fans were angry would be an understatement of oceanic proportions. Especially since Nickelodeon created the animation clip in the first place expecting it to go into the entertainment performing Sweet Victory.\n  - \"That's it? That was Sweet Victory? THAT WAS JUST A 17 SECOND LONG INTRO!\" \"What a rip.\" \"THE NFL BETRAYED US!\" Explanation The original is Patchy's breakdown from \"The Sponge Who Could Fly\".\n  - \"Well, \\[the NFL\\] did it. You took my one chance at happiness... and crushed it! Crushed it into little, tiny, bite-sized pieces! I really had expected better of you people. I guess I'm a loser for that, too.\" ExplanationSquidward's parting words from \"Band Geeks\", adopted to refer to the NFL. Maroon 5 and PepsiCo (who sponsored the halftime show) are often substituted.\n  - \"How could you, NFL? You promised us Sweet Victory, but all we saw there was... SICKO MODE!\" ExplanationThe quote's source is SpongeBob shaming Mr. Krabs in \"Krabby Land\".\n  - \"Where's your Sweet Victory band?\" \"They, uh... died in a marching accident.\" ExplanationVersion of Squidward's excuse from \"Band Geeks\" to explain why Sweet Victory wasn't played.\n  - Friendship ended with football, now hockey is my best friend.Explanation In response to the halftime backlash, the Dallas Stars, an NHL team, played [a modified version of the Sweet Victory clip![](https:\/\/static.tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pub\/external_link.gif)](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NK6ToJZibvc) (the modification was the uniforms being recolored green to match the Stars' colors) at the end of the second intermission, billing it as the halftime show fans deserved. This was the typical response.\n- \"SpongeBob begs Nickelodeon to kill him. He refuses, keeping SpongeBob alive.\" ExplanationScreenshot from [The Hunger Games](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Literature\/TheHungerGames \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Literature\/TheHungerGames\") Simulator depicting SpongeBob as a [Death Seeker](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/DeathSeeker \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/DeathSeeker\"). It's used to poke fun at how long the show has been airing despite fans wanting it to conclude.\n- Various quotes were adopted to comment on *[Kamp Koral](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/KampKoral \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/KampKoral\")'s* development after Stephen Hillenberg passed away allegedly forbidding SpongeBob spinoffs (which was later [proven false![](https:\/\/static.tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pub\/external_link.gif)](https:\/\/twitter.com\/VincentWaller72\/status\/1286300991957041154)note Apparently, Hillenberg's comments on the matter was that he wasn't outright *forbidding* spinoffs of *SpongeBob*, only that he was skeptical of the idea of one [catching on](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/ItWillNeverCatchOn \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/ItWillNeverCatchOn\"), and as many fans have pointed out in defense of Nickelodeon, Hillenberg had also expressed similar skepticism at the *SpongeBob* franchise making any theatrical movies as well. Of which there [are](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie\") [now](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater\") [three.](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun\")):\n  - You used my creator's death, FOR AGED-DOWN SPIN-OFF DEVELOPMENT!! That wasn't nice...ExplanationAdopted from \"You used me...FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT!\" from \"Walking Small\", among fans who believed Hillenberg wouldn't approve of *Kamp Koral.*\n  - Nickelodeon: \"Am I *really* gonna defile this grave for money? **Of course I am\\!**\"ExplanationAdopted from Mr. Krabs graverobbing Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen, from \"One Krab's Trash\". Used in similar ways to the above, or to criticize the other camp by substituting \"Nickelodeon\" and \"money\" for \"SpongeBob fans\" and \"fame\". Amusingly enough, the meme was the top Google image result for \"Kamp Koral\" when the series was first announced.\n  - \"GRRRRRR.... NICKELODEON BETRAYED STEPHEN!!\" ExplanationFrom Patchy's meltdown in \"The Sponge Who Could Fly\".\n\nCharacter and catchphrase related\n\n- \"I'm ready!\" ExplanationSpongeBob's catchphrase. Being a catchphrase, it was naturally parroted and parodied many times.\n- Krusty Krab vs Chum Bucket ExplanationA template where the Krusty Krab is represented by something that is liked, while the Chum Bucket is represented by something that is disliked or not as preferred as the other thing.\n- [Laughing SpongeBob![](https:\/\/static.tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pub\/external_link.gif)](https:\/\/i.kym-cdn.com\/entries\/icons\/original\/000\/029\/831\/spongebobmeme.jpg)\n  ◊\n  ExplanationA collage of SpongeBob laughing, including a fanmade one where [Enel's](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Manga\/OnePiece \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Manga\/OnePiece\") [Oh, Crap\\!](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/OhCrap \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/OhCrap\") face is Photoshoped onto SpongeBob's face from \"Dying for Pie\". This is often used to make fun of people who laugh at unfunny jokes or serious situations, sometimes poking fun at the latter's [hypocrisy.](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/Hypocrite \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/Hypocrite\")\n- *\"MY LEG!\"* ExplanationA [Stock Scream](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/StockScream \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/StockScream\") often uttered by Fred, a recurring background character. It has since been used as a [Stock Scream](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/StockScream \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/StockScream\") in various Internet videos.\n- Plankton is [moe](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/Moe \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/Moe\") ExplanationPlankton is voiced by a woman in the Japanese dub. Thanks to this and her high-pitched delivery, Plankton is often called moe, an [Idol Singer](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/IdolSinger \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/IdolSinger\"), [tsundere](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/Tsundere \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/Tsundere\"), etc. Likewise, some Japanese fans of the show conversely have expressed amused surprise to find out that the normally cute-sounding (but no less evil) Plankton is voiced by the famously deep-voiced [Mr. Lawrence](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Creator\/MrLawrence \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Creator\/MrLawrence\") in the West.\n- Spengbab ExplanationA term used for intentionally [grotesque](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/BodyHorror \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/BodyHorror\") redesigns of the cast.\n- \"SPONGEBOB ME BOI!\"\/\"SPONGE BOI ME BOB!\" Explanation A running joke whereas people take a deep-fried image of Mr. Krabs making an amusing face, then perform an impression of Mr. Krabs, with him often shouting \"SPONGEBOB, ME BOY!\", followed by him casually mentioning a serious crime (e.g I JUST KILLED X AND NOW I NEED A RIDE) or spewing out a [Non Sequitur](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/NonSequitur \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/NonSequitur\") (e.g \"I JUST DRANK MELTED CRAYONS\") and then possibly [suffering the consequences for it](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome\") (e.g \"AND NOW I AM IN EXTREME PAIN DUE TO THE WAX BLOCKING UP ME INTESTINES!\") then performing an impression of his [Signature Laugh](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/SignatureLaugh \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/SignatureLaugh\").\n- SpongeBob screaming internally ExplainationA screenshot of SpongeBob's normal form from \"Not Normal\", with an image of him screaming from \"Ghost Host\" laid over it. It's a common reaction image to depict someone screaming internally.\n- Stop hating on Pearl! Explanation Usually used when Pearl from *[Steven Universe](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/StevenUniverse \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WesternAnimation\/StevenUniverse\")* does something wrong, setting up a [Bait-and-Switch](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/BaitAndSwitch \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/BaitAndSwitch\").\n- \"Tartar sauce!\" Explanation Family-friendly blasphemy commonly used outside of the show. \"Barnacles\" and \"fishpaste\" are used for similar effect.\n  - If \"barnacles\" in *SpongeBob* means \"fuck\", wouldn't that make Barnacle Boy \"Fuck Boy\" and the Ugly Barnacle \"the Ugly Fuck\"? ExplanationSeveral people online have pointed out the implications of Mermaid Man's sidekick being named Barnacle Boy and Patrick Star's story he told to cheer up SpongeBob in \"Something Smells\" being titled *The Ugly Barnacle* when the same show has used the term \"barnacles\" in contexts implying the word to be a profanity i.e. Plankton shouting \"What the barnacle?\"\n- That blue fish, always starting shit.ExplanationFans have noticed that a blue fish named Harold appears to be starting something in some of his notable appearances, including [rallying people to beat up an old man](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/ItMakesSenseInContext \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/ItMakesSenseInContext\") on two separate occasions in the episode \"The Bully\", and arguing and getting into a fight with Mr. Krabs in \"Band Geeks\".

The video caught on due to the sheer [Mood Whiplash](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/MoodWhiplash \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/MoodWhiplash\") and was subsequently remixed with different characters from other media similarly passed out.\n- Squidward Community College ExplanationA [fictional community college![](https:\/\/static.tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pub\/external_link.gif)](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ldRqaysox5w) supposedly named after Squidward, a video about it was released by wow\\_mao, showcasing its art, subjects and alumni, while smooth jazz music from the show plays in the background.\n## From other works\nFrom other works\n\n- I'll cut off your nutsack, and nail it too my door!...like one of those lion door-knockers rich folks got...*THAT WILL BE YOUR BALLS\\!*ExplanationA cross-meme from *[Jennifer's Body](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Film\/JennifersBody \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Film\/JennifersBody\")* and *[The Kill Count](https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WebVideo\/TheKillCount \"\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/WebVideo\/TheKillCount\")*.

Please remember, if you add a meme to the page, *please include an explanation as to why it's a meme.

This disappeared when the site gained automatic copyright checks, but is still used in [YouTube Poop](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTubePoop "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTubePoop") as a tradition. - r/bikinibottomtwitter ExplanationOn [April 1](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AprilFoolsDay "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AprilFoolsDay"), the [subreddit](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/Reddit "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/Reddit") r/blackpeopletwitter morphed into Bikini Bottom Twitter. It proved so popular with the subscribers that it became its own [subreddit![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://www.reddit.com/r/BikiniBottomTwitter/) not even a day later. - Many of the memes in the "Episode-specific" section were adopted to mock the disappointing [Super Bowl](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/SuperBowl "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/SuperBowl") LIII halftime show, where a rendition of "Sweet Victory" was promised: - "You used me, FOR [SICKO MODE](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/TravisScott "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/TravisScott")!" Explanation The original meme being "You used me...for LAND DEVELOPMENT!" from "Walking Small". In the wake of Stephen Hillenburg's passing, over one million SpongeBob fans signed a petition for [Maroon 5](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/Maroon5 "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/Maroon5") to perform Sweet Victory at the 53rd [Super Bowl](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/SuperBowl "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/SuperBowl"). Major news outlets took note and hints were dropped towards the song being played. Finally, several minutes into the halftime show, Squidward appeared in marching band attire to introduce "a true musical genius who needs no introduction", and the opening trumpets of Send them Victorious played just like in the episode "Band Geeks", only for it to be a bait-and-switch with Sicko Mode playing instead of Sweet Victory. To say fans were angry would be an understatement of oceanic proportions. Especially since Nickelodeon created the animation clip in the first place expecting it to go into the entertainment performing Sweet Victory. - "That's it? That was Sweet Victory? THAT WAS JUST A 17 SECOND LONG INTRO!" "What a rip." "THE NFL BETRAYED US!" Explanation The original is Patchy's breakdown from "The Sponge Who Could Fly". - "Well, \[the NFL\] did it. You took my one chance at happiness... and crushed it! Crushed it into little, tiny, bite-sized pieces! I really had expected better of you people. I guess I'm a loser for that, too." ExplanationSquidward's parting words from "Band Geeks", adopted to refer to the NFL. Maroon 5 and PepsiCo (who sponsored the halftime show) are often substituted. - "How could you, NFL? You promised us Sweet Victory, but all we saw there was... SICKO MODE!" ExplanationThe quote's source is SpongeBob shaming Mr. Krabs in "Krabby Land". - "Where's your Sweet Victory band?" "They, uh... died in a marching accident." ExplanationVersion of Squidward's excuse from "Band Geeks" to explain why Sweet Victory wasn't played. - Friendship ended with football, now hockey is my best friend.Explanation In response to the halftime backlash, the Dallas Stars, an NHL team, played [a modified version of the Sweet Victory clip![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK6ToJZibvc) (the modification was the uniforms being recolored green to match the Stars' colors) at the end of the second intermission, billing it as the halftime show fans deserved. This was the typical response. - "SpongeBob begs Nickelodeon to kill him. He refuses, keeping SpongeBob alive." ExplanationScreenshot from [The Hunger Games](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TheHungerGames "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/TheHungerGames") Simulator depicting SpongeBob as a [Death Seeker](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathSeeker "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathSeeker"). It's used to poke fun at how long the show has been airing despite fans wanting it to conclude. - Various quotes were adopted to comment on [Kamp Koral](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/KampKoral "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/KampKoral")'s development after Stephen Hillenberg passed away allegedly forbidding SpongeBob spinoffs (which was later [proven false![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://twitter.com/VincentWaller72/status/1286300991957041154)note Apparently, Hillenberg's comments on the matter was that he wasn't outright forbidding spinoffs of SpongeBob, only that he was skeptical of the idea of one [catching on](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItWillNeverCatchOn "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItWillNeverCatchOn"), and as many fans have pointed out in defense of Nickelodeon, Hillenberg had also expressed similar skepticism at the SpongeBob franchise making any theatrical movies as well. Of which there [are](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie") [now](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater") [three.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun")): - You used my creator's death, FOR AGED-DOWN SPIN-OFF DEVELOPMENT!! That wasn't nice...ExplanationAdopted from "You used me...FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT!" from "Walking Small", among fans who believed Hillenberg wouldn't approve of Kamp Koral. - Nickelodeon: "Am I really gonna defile this grave for money? Of course I am\!"ExplanationAdopted from Mr. Krabs graverobbing Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen, from "One Krab's Trash". Used in similar ways to the above, or to criticize the other camp by substituting "Nickelodeon" and "money" for "SpongeBob fans" and "fame". Amusingly enough, the meme was the top Google image result for "Kamp Koral" when the series was first announced. - "GRRRRRR.... NICKELODEON BETRAYED STEPHEN!!" ExplanationFrom Patchy's meltdown in "The Sponge Who Could Fly". Character and catchphrase related - "I'm ready!" ExplanationSpongeBob's catchphrase. Being a catchphrase, it was naturally parroted and parodied many times. - Krusty Krab vs Chum Bucket ExplanationA template where the Krusty Krab is represented by something that is liked, while the Chum Bucket is represented by something that is disliked or not as preferred as the other thing. - [Laughing SpongeBob![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/029/831/spongebobmeme.jpg) ◊ ExplanationA collage of SpongeBob laughing, including a fanmade one where [Enel's](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/OnePiece "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/OnePiece") [Oh, Crap\!](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OhCrap "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OhCrap") face is Photoshoped onto SpongeBob's face from "Dying for Pie". This is often used to make fun of people who laugh at unfunny jokes or serious situations, sometimes poking fun at the latter's [hypocrisy.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Hypocrite "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Hypocrite") - "MY LEG!" ExplanationA [Stock Scream](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockScream "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockScream") often uttered by Fred, a recurring background character. It has since been used as a [Stock Scream](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockScream "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockScream") in various Internet videos. - Plankton is [moe](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe") ExplanationPlankton is voiced by a woman in the Japanese dub. Thanks to this and her high-pitched delivery, Plankton is often called moe, an [Idol Singer](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdolSinger "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdolSinger"), [tsundere](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere"), etc. Likewise, some Japanese fans of the show conversely have expressed amused surprise to find out that the normally cute-sounding (but no less evil) Plankton is voiced by the famously deep-voiced [Mr. Lawrence](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/MrLawrence "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/MrLawrence") in the West. - Spengbab ExplanationA term used for intentionally [grotesque](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror") redesigns of the cast. - "SPONGEBOB ME BOI!"/"SPONGE BOI ME BOB!" Explanation A running joke whereas people take a deep-fried image of Mr. Krabs making an amusing face, then perform an impression of Mr. Krabs, with him often shouting "SPONGEBOB, ME BOY!", followed by him casually mentioning a serious crime (e.g I JUST KILLED X AND NOW I NEED A RIDE) or spewing out a [Non Sequitur](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonSequitur "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NonSequitur") (e.g "I JUST DRANK MELTED CRAYONS") and then possibly [suffering the consequences for it](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome") (e.g "AND NOW I AM IN EXTREME PAIN DUE TO THE WAX BLOCKING UP ME INTESTINES!") then performing an impression of his [Signature Laugh](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SignatureLaugh "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SignatureLaugh"). - SpongeBob screaming internally ExplainationA screenshot of SpongeBob's normal form from "Not Normal", with an image of him screaming from "Ghost Host" laid over it. It's a common reaction image to depict someone screaming internally. - Stop hating on Pearl! Explanation Usually used when Pearl from [Steven Universe](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse") does something wrong, setting up a [Bait-and-Switch](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BaitAndSwitch "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BaitAndSwitch"). - "Tartar sauce!" Explanation Family-friendly blasphemy commonly used outside of the show. "Barnacles" and "fishpaste" are used for similar effect. - If "barnacles" in SpongeBob means "fuck", wouldn't that make Barnacle Boy "Fuck Boy" and the Ugly Barnacle "the Ugly Fuck"? ExplanationSeveral people online have pointed out the implications of Mermaid Man's sidekick being named Barnacle Boy and Patrick Star's story he told to cheer up SpongeBob in "Something Smells" being titled The Ugly Barnacle when the same show has used the term "barnacles" in contexts implying the word to be a profanity i.e. Plankton shouting "What the barnacle?" - That blue fish, always starting shit.ExplanationFans have noticed that a blue fish named Harold appears to be starting something in some of his notable appearances, including [rallying people to beat up an old man](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItMakesSenseInContext "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItMakesSenseInContext") on two separate occasions in the episode "The Bully", and arguing and getting into a fight with Mr. Krabs in "Band Geeks". This phrase has often been used in relation to him. - "Thicc" SpongeBob characters ExplanationScreenshots and compilations of several characters' [massive buttcheeks.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JokeOfTheButt "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JokeOfTheButt") A common response is to feign being turned on or attracted to said characters. Bubble Bass is a common subject, oddly enough. - [\[X\] Hours Later![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgxK5vm6lvk)ExplanationSome episodes have time cards to show the characters exclaiming to do something, and a time card pops up to fill in the passage of time, often with a deadpan French-accented announcer saying the seconds/minutes/hours/days/inches/eternity/hiring a new narrator etc. on the card. Used as a reaction image online in response to a situation that takes ages (i.e. [long conversations](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MotorMouth "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MotorMouth"), [global lockdowns](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/COVID19 "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/COVID19"), [playing games instead of sleeping/working](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JustOneMoreLevel "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JustOneMoreLevel")). Soundtrack and sound effect related - [Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExpositoryThemeTune "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExpositoryThemeTune") [Sponge! Bob! Square! Pants\!](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PunctuatedForEmphasis "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PunctuatedForEmphasis") ExplanationThe theme song became quickly popular around the internet, with plenty of variations either messing with the lyrics or just using it as a cutaway gag. - Who lives in a pineapple [under the pineapple under the pineapple...](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenRecord "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenRecord") ExplanationA common way to edit the theme song is to make it so the song loops "pineapple under the" before reaching "sea", sometimes with visuals depicting multiple pineapples stacked on each other, such as [this![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR6pMaF4BG8) video and its [3D animated version![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWevLlvThvA). - I put SpongeBob music over \[X\]. ExplanationSpongeBob music (usually Tomfoolery) plays in a video to either further emphasize the awkwardness, hilarity or silliness of the situation in the video, or to create humor from the [contrast between the serious subject matter and the inappropriately goofy-sounding music](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoundtrackDissonance "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoundtrackDissonance"). - ["It's the best day ever!"](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItsTheBestWhateverEver "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItsTheBestWhateverEver") Explanation A short-lived meme in which dark, depressing, disturbing, or gory scenes from other media had the [cheerful](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoundtrackDissonance "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoundtrackDissonance") song "The Best Day Ever" (first used in [The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie "/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie"), also known for being the theme of "Best Day Ever" episode) playing over them. The phrase itself also tends to be used whenever someone's having a good day, or ironically whenever someone's having a bad day. - Boo-wompExplanationAn onomatopoeia for [a sound effect![](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/external_link.gif)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnhXwlFeRP8) frequently used throughout the series to signal emotional deflation. The phrase caught on due to its silly nature and its recognizability, resulting in it becoming a popular phrase to juxtapose with similarly dejected-looking characters. - Hawaiian Cocktail.

ExplanationA multi-panel meme template originating from the first scene of the episode "Pickles", in which Squidward — taking an order from an indecisive Clay — mocks Clay's uncreative choice of meal with sarcastic quips, ending in the above line.
