General

• 2016 is regarded as the Year of the SpongeBob Memes. The Big Three that came to be during this year are of Mr. Krabs, "Dabward", and Spongegar, as well as several other smaller-scale ones, though Mr. Krabs and Spongegar are easily two of the year's most popular memes.
  • The Mr. Krabs meme, originating in spring 2016, takes a shot of Mr. Krabs reacting in confusion when the customers demand a refund for the Pretty Patties and applies it to other situations. It led to a defining meme of "When Mr. Krabs finds out everybody using his picture but he ain't making one penny."◊
  • In early January 2016, a Vine where the Squidward mascot character at Universal Studios decided to do a dab during the character parade became wildly popular. Dozens of remixes followed.
    • Even funnier, when someone called Squidward's name from then on during the parade, Squidward would just stare at them the same way he did before he dabbed. But he didn't dab.
  • In summer 2016, SpongeGar from the primitive past Squidward visits in "SB-129" (not to be confused with the Spongegar we meet in "Ugh") became a popular reaction meme in the same context as the above Mr. Krabs meme. Click here◊ for one example.
    • Even the show's official Facebook page got in on the fun.◊
• Other smaller memes of 2016 include:

  • Another from the summer are SpongeBob Comparison Charts, which uses pictures from the show (and other shows) as a description of something.
    • 2017 gave us "X Portrayed By SpongeBob", which is this in video form. Examples include:
    • The Internet, Part 1 and Part 2. Not the first, but easily the one that popularized it, as after Vailskibum94 uploaded the first on August 12, 2017, other videos began popping up everywhere.
    • Rokamo, who started the trend in January of 2017 and inspired Vailskibum94 to do his own in the first place, has done Smash Bros characters, and has now shown that even restaurants can be portrayed by SpongeBob.
    • Stella Newman has done a ton of these, including Disney, DreamWorks. Pixar, Sony Pictures Animation, and Undertale.
    • Takashiari has done Studio Ghibli, Blue Sky, and various cartoons.
    • SpaceOtaku gave us Nicktoons Portrayed By SpongeBob, except SpongeBob itself. Then after the inevitable comments ensued, a Volume 2 was done including SpongeBob itself as well as some forgotten ones. A Volume 3 is set to follow. For example, characters from Overwatch.
    • Yet another one, SpongeBob History Captions, a series of images that feature scenes from various SpongeBob episodes with captions that attempt to pass them off as images from a historical event. Some images are rendered in black and white as if the situation is set in the distant past.
  • On April 1st, the subreddit r/blackpeopletwitter morphed into Bikini Bottom Twitter. It proved so popular with the subscribers, it became its own subreddit not even a day later.
• The character Bubble Bass was a minor Fountain of Memes by himself.
  • His obesity is often the butt of memes and jokes, with some memes comparing certain overweight people to him.
    • This also sometimes gets twisted into memes about how thick Bubble Bass is, implying he's attractive. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Bubble Bass' "twerking".
  • I'll take a double triple bossy deluxe on a raft, 4x4 animal style, extra shingles with the shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.^Explanation  A gag where Bubble Bass makes his order in extended Hash House Lingo (all of these are actual real-life order slang). This is usually used with Squidward's flat response to all this.
    • We serve food here, sir. ^Explanation The aforementioned response from Squidward.
• A classic meme from the late 2000s would be placing one of the show's Gross Up Close Ups of the characters and distorting them to the song "Gentle Breeze" from Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.

Series / Episode specific examples

• Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
  • Sponge! Bob! Square! Pants!^Explanation The series 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.
• "But, sir, there's gotta be something I need to improve on! ANYTHING!!!"^Explanation Originates in "The Algae's Always Greener" in a scene where SpongeBob asks Plankton to give him a performance review.
  • "Alright, the sauce."
    • "...What?"
    • "The sauce, I don't know. You're using too much sauce, OK? Review's over."
    • "EH EH EH EH EH EH EH!"
    • What do you want from me?! A promotion?!
    • A promo-a promo-a promotion!!
• "Do you smell it? That smell. The kinda smelly smell. The smelly smell that smells... smelly." *Eyes Widen* "Anchovies. ANCHOVIES!" ^Explanation Originates in "Help Wanted" when five buses of Anchovies are about to swarm the Krusty Krab at once, and Mr. Krabs smells their approach and makes this comically unhelpful statement.
• Grab SpongeBob SquarePants. Then infuse him with the most hideous form of cancer, expose him to Chernobyl's reactor core, and twist him into the most horrible Lovecraftian Body Horror you can imagine. The result: Spengbab.
  • Don't forget Skodwarde!
• I'M READY! I'M READY! ^Explanation SpongeBob's catchphrase.
  • NO YOU AIN'T!
• BOO! YOU STINK!
• HOMINA HOMINA HOMINA HOMINA^Explanation  Squidward, Squilliam and his guests' reactions at the Krusty Krab's redecoration.
• Did somebody say boom?! *cue explosion* ^Explanation In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture", Sandy is cast as boom operator for the movie. Needless to say, she takes the job title a little too literally, instead of the boom mike she's supposed to be using. This also works as a Shout-Out to The Muppets' Crazy Harry, who spouts variations of this line frequently.
• Chocolate!? CHOCOLATE!? "CHOCOLATE!!!! CHOCOLATE!!!!"^Explanation A particularly memorable scene from the episode "Chocolate With Nuts" (in which SpongeBob and Patrick are selling chocolate door-to-door). One of their "customers" responds to their offer by repeatedly screaming "CHOCOLATE!!!" and chasing them. Heck, the whole episode is a Fountain of Memes.
  • "AHAHAHAHA!! FINALLY!! I've been trying to catch you boys ALL DAY! Now that I got you right where I want you... *beat* I'd like to buy all of your chocolate." ^Explanation What the above mentioned customer says when he finally corners SpongeBob and Patrick near the end of the episode, which causes the two to literally melt from shock..
• DEATH SPONGE NOTE PANTS
  • Now add the two together.
• Plankton wants you know that you can't stop him because "I went to college!"^Explanation  One of Plankton's most common boasts is that he, well, went to college and implying his opponent is too dumb to stop him. It usually ends with him being literally thrown back into his restaurant.
  • (smashes into Chum Bucket) Ouch.
• Look out! There's a fork in the road!
  • I don't see no fork.
• "Oh goody. Holographic meatloaf again!"
  • "Holographic meatloaf? MY FAVORITE!!!"
  • It has become extremely popular to compare this to a similar scene in Blade Runner 2049.
• Did you ever notice how, uhh... [Notices a fork on a table] ...forks, uhh...
  • Forks?! Come on! [Crowd is booing]
• "GARY!!! YOU ARE GONNA FINISH YOUR DESSERT, AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT!!!" ^Explanation Squidward tells SpongeBob that he was meant to explode when he ate the exploding pie. SpongeBob then verbally blows-up.
  • "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, YOU BARNACLE HEAD!!!"^Explanation Squidward's response.
  • "Oooh, good one!"^Explanation SpongeBob's response.
• Tropers, you don't need television. Not as long as you have your...(cue rainbow) IIIMMMMAAAAAGGGIIINNAAAAAAATIIOON.
  • Nobody cares.◊
• IT TOOK SPONGEBOB X YEARS TO MASTER THIS ^Explanation Derived from the scene in "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" where SpongeBob very poorly plays a bassinet, the meme often involves SpongeBob's atrocious playing being remixed into a specific song or musical track.
• "Is this the Krusty Krab?" "No, this is Patrick." ^Explanation During his first day on the job at the Krusty Krab in "Big Pink Loser", Patrick answers a phone call asking him if it's the Krusty Krab. Patrick being Patrick, he assumes that the caller is calling him a Krusty Krab and continues making that assumption with every subsequent call. It gained memetic status partially due to being similar to the "this is SPARTA" meme from 300.
  • "Is this the Krusty Krab?"
    • *noticeably more aggravated* "No, This is Patrick!"
    • "Is this the Krusty Krab?"
    • NO! THIS... IS... PATRICK!!!
    • "I am not a Krusty Krab..."
    • "Uh, Patrick, that's the name of the restaurant..."
    • "FISHPASTE!!!"
• Tartar sauce!
• Is mayonnaise an instrument?^Explanation  From the episode "Band Geeks" in Season 2, where Patrick once again displays his intelligence by having to ask Squidward if mayonnaise sauce is a musical instrument. It's pretty common to take the format of this joke and make it apply to other subjects.
  • No, Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument.
  • *raises hand*
    • Horseradish is not an instrument either.
    • Another variation to this meme is "Is X an instrument?", or "No Patrick, X is not a Y. Z is not a Y either."
• "I SAW IT! IT WAS BIG! IT WAS ALLLLL WIGGLY! IT WAS AN ALASKAN BULL WORM!"
  • also "IT WAS BIG! SCARY! AND PINK!"
    • So is Patrick's belly button.
• F is for friends who do stuff together! U is for you and me! N is for anywhere and anytime at all, down here in the deep blue sea!
  • F is for FIRE that BURNS DOWN THE WHOLE TOWN! U is for URANIUM...bombs! N is for NO SURVIVORS WHEN YOU-
    • Plankton! Those things aren't what fun is all about! Here. Let me show you. F is for friends who do stuff-
    • Never! That's completely idiotic!
  • "Curse you, N!"
• It's called The Ugly Barnacle.
  • He was so ugly that everyone died. The end. :D
  • ....That didn't help at all!
• "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?!"^Explanation In the episode "The Bully", when SpongeBob runs through town screaming "Can't you see he's gonna kick my butt?" (referring to Flats Flounder, the eponymous bully), the townspeople think he's referring to a harmless-looking old man and proceed to beat him up. Later, SpongeBob runs screaming "He's still gonna kick my butt!", prompting this line. Frequently used as a reaction meme when someone keeps doing something stupid or foolish.
• MOAR KRABS! ^Explanation A rather strange closeup of Mr. Krabs that appeared for a split second in "Jellyfish Hunter".
• A meme was referenced in the episode "Boating Buddies".
  Squidward is out sunbathing, when SpongeBob walks by and spills his drink.
  SpongeBob: Coffee rain!
  Squidward: It's hot chocolate!
  SpongeBob:... Chocolate rain!
• KEEP GOING! YOU'RE GOOD! YOU'RE GOOD! YOU'RE GOOD! ANNNNNNDDDD....STOP!^Explanation "Shanghaied": When the Flying Dutchman tells SpongeBob and Patrick to not cause any damage to his ship while they pass by rocks, SpongeBob says the above lines while wood is being torn off.
  • Don't worry Troper, we'll buff out those scratches!
• Wumbo.
  • Troper, I don't think wumbo's a real meme!
    • Come on! You know: I wumbo, you wumbo, he she me, wumbo? Wumbos, wumboing, We'll have thee wumbo, wumborama, wumbology- the study of wumbo!? It's first grade, troper!
    • I wonder if a fall from this height would be enough to kill me.
    • Troper, I'm sorry I doubted you.
    • Did you set it to Wumbo?
    • WHAT?!?!
    • iWumbo
• Who you callin' "pinhead"?
  • Don't forget "I'm Dirty Dan!" "I'm Dirty Dan!"
    • I'm Dirty Dan!
    • I'm Dirty Dan!
    • Which one’a you fellers is the REAL Dirty Dan?!
    • Uh...I am?
• "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU, PATRICK!"^Explanation "Bummer Vacation": SpongeBob says this while having a break-down due to Patrick working for him all-day.
• Patrick hates this channel. ^Explanation When Squidward first sees the television ad for Tentacle Acres in "Squidville", Patrick changes the channel while saying "I hate this channel", resulting in Squidward frantically grabbing the remote and flipping the channel back to see the rest of the ad. It's common for people to make videos that edit the scene by replacing the advertisement for Tentacle Acres with something else.
  • NO! NOOO!!!
• Patrick: Leedle Leedle Leedle LEE!!!!
  • Now in German.
• You are already fried.
• People keep dropping by Squidward's house. ^Explanation "Have You Seen This Snail?" has a scene where Squidward screams hysterically at the sight of SpongeBob and Patrick barging into his bathroom while he's taking a bath. There have been many videos that edit the scene so that Patrick and SpongeBob are replaced with someone or something else, frequently a Creepypasta character.
  • A playlist full of these videos applied some Fridge Logic by being titled "SQUIDWARD LOCK YOUR DOOR".
• Well, maybe there wouldn't be so many memes if some people didn't have a pair of big meaty claws!
  • What did you say, punk?!
  • BIG! MEATY! CLAWS!
  • WEEELLL, these claws ain't for just attractin' mates!
  • Bring it on, old man! Bring it on!
  • No, people. Let's be smart and bring it off.
  • Oh, so now the talking cheese is trying to preach to us!
• The Campfire Song Song.
  • Let's gather round the campfire and sing our campfire song! Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song. If you don't think that we can sing it faster, then you're wrong, but it'll help if you just sing along!
    • Bum bum bum...
    • Now wasn't that relaxing?
    • No!
• This part from "Pre-Hibernation Week", giving rise to the infamous line of "xward" videos:

• I am now going to assault your mind with subliminal messages.
  • ...Sorry you had to see that.
• We should take this meme, and push it someplace else!
  • That idea might just be crazy enough......to GET US ALL KILLED!!!
    • You can take your stupid flowers, and get thee to a nunnery!
• Excuse me sir... I hope my memetic status won't be a distraction for you.
  • Not at all, boy! (Sniff Sniff) DEUUEAUGH! ^Explanation  From the episode "Something Smells", where Spongebob gets bad breath, making people run off repulsed. However, because no one actually tells him his breath stinks, he and Patrick come to the conclusion they think he's ugly. When they go to a theater, Spongebob asks a nearby fish to not be offended by his looks. He cheerfully says he doesn't mind... Until he catches a whiff of that bad breath and makes a massive cringe face that looks similar to Edvard Munch's The Scream, coupled with a hilarious cry of disgust.
    • LOOK AT IT!
    • (runs out of the theater)
• Hi there SpongeBob! My name is Pat Back!
  • HA! That is really disturbing!

  • Where's the off button on this thing?
• If YOU think I'm gonna stand out there ALL DAY, listening to... ^Explanation A clip from "The Algae's Always Greener" where alternate universe Squidward complains to Plankton that he's not enjoying having to listen to SpongeBob's babbling out front. Just replace SpongeBob's babbling with something else that's annoying and you've got yourself a meme!

This led to many jokes saying that Patrick is the most valuable asset to the crew and should be honored employee of the month just for being comprehensive to people of different cultures, even if he blew them off.
• "He's only this big! How many diapers could he possibly use?" ^Explanation From "Rock-A-Bye Bivalve".

The shot of his eye beams traveling towards the conch has become a snowclone where the conch is replaced with anything, accompanied by the phrase "The [item]".
  • The Yankee with [something] ^Explanation For some reason, one version of this that particularly took off was one where Barnacle Boy was given a New York Yankees baseball cap.

Of course I am!"^Explanation The scene from "One Krabs Trash" where Mr. Krabs digs into Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen's grave to get a soda hat which he thought was worth $1,000,000.

• Don't say anything, Squidward. Remember your karma.^Explanation A line from "My Pretty Seahorse", where Squidward refrains from snarking at Spongebob with this quote.
