* MemeticMolester: Patrick with his obsessive touching of things and later kidnapping Jeffrey Jellyfish. His audio in this episode is a favorite of YouTubePoop creators for this reason.
-->'''Patrick:''' OH MY GOSH! JEFFREY JELLYFISH! W-Wait Jeffrey! I have to touch you!\\
'''Security Guard:''' HEY!
-->'''Patrick:''' OH MY GOSH! JEFFREY JELLYFISH! W-Wait Jeffrey! I have to touch you!\\
'''Security Guard:''' HEY!
Added DiffLines:
*** "WAIT JEFFREY, I HAVE TO TOUCH YOU!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The logical conclusion to the above, where Patrick screams at a jellyfish mascot how much he wants to touch him whilst being chased offscreen by the guard. This coincides with MemeticMolester, since it's easy to take the line out of context and make it sound more sexual than it is.[[/labelnote]]

Added example(s); As far as I know this was an unintentional example, as Sponge Bob clearly meant it literally rather than as an insult. Tom Sponge Bob also clearly says "ya" instead of "you", so I think Tom was aware of the innuendo and changed the line slightly.
