Crosses the Line Twice: DoodleBob beating the crap out of Squidward? Horrifying for sure if you're SpongeBob and Patrick... Well, maybe not Patrick. But from the audience's perspective, it's so sudden and out of nowhere that it comes back to being funny as things quickly go to Hell from there.
Fridge Brilliance: Why can a live-action pencil bring drawings to life in a cartoon world? Because that's exactly how animation works!

"Take it easy, it's just a drawing."Explanation Patrick's relaxed response to SpongeBob's over-the-top celebration after (seemingly) erasing DoodleBob. A screencap of the line became a popular reaction image online, typically used in response to perceived overblown reactions to people's art or animated works.
