25

This is a joke from "New Student Starfish." In the episode, Mrs. Puff asks Patrick to introduce himself to the class, and he says "24" instead of his name. Later, SpongeBob and Patrick talk together, and SpongeBob thinks of something funnier than 24. Patrick wants to hear it, and he says "25," causing both of them to crack up with laughter.

The quote, along with the scene of SpongeBob and Patrick in boating school, is often used in scenarios that mention the number 25. It has also been popular as a birthday cake design for people turning 25.

"Are you feelin' it now, Mr. Krabs?"

File:MidLife Crustacean115.png

This is a quote from "Mid-Life Crustacean." SpongeBob and Patrick ask Mr. Krabs if he is feeling young again.

An official shirt of the quote was made by Nickelodeon and released to Hot Topic.

Big Fat Meanie

This is a scene from "New Student Starfish." During class, Patrick tosses SpongeBob a picture he drew, depicting a rather ugly obese-looking Mrs. Puff with the words "Big Fat Meanie." When Mrs. Puff sees this, she takes on the same appearance as the drawing and says "As if I really look like this!," then puts the picture in a drawer with other ugly pictures of her inside.

The meme usually involves Patrick's picture and Mrs. Puff forming into such being replaced with various other things.

Breath In Boi

This is a set of two images from the online game Kah Rah Tay Contest. They show SpongeBob clasping his hands together and leaning over. The images are commonly used as a reaction image to various instances of people making an unwise decision.

Confused Mr. Krabs (Mr. Krabs Blur)

This is a distorted image taken from a scene in "Patty Hype." In the scene, Mr. Krabs is at the Pretty Patty stand, surrounded by angry customers. The picture is used in memes to represent sudden confusion. The meme's most well-known use was titled When you wake up from a nap.

An official shirt of the meme was released to Hot Topic in 2019. The official SpongeBob social media accounts also posted a reimagining of the meme by storyboard artist Caroline Director, featuring SpongeBob in place of Mr. Krabs. The meme was used as a theory for SpongeBob's embarrassing Christmas party photo, as mentioned in "The Secret Box."

"Deaugh!"

File:Deuueaugh.ogg

File:Something Smells 141.png

This is a quote from "Something Smells." In the episode, a blue Incidental 1 (later named Fred) smells SpongeBob's breath at Reef Cinema and makes the noise "Deaugh!" with a weird look on his face.

This scene has become very popular on sites such as YouTube, where it has become a subject of remixes, edits, and compilations. It is usually spelled as "Deuueaugh!" in video titles, but Nickelodeon spells it as "deaugh."

Nickelodeon released an official pin of the meme.

H-N

Handsome Squidward

This is an alter-ego of Squidward from "The Two Faces of Squidward." After SpongeBob hits the door on Squidward several times, he becomes more handsome than before. SpongeBob then shoves Squidward out of the way, and he looks as if he is dancing.

This image has become very popular in edits, remixes, and numerous YouTube videos. It has also been parodied by fan-made art of other characters impersonating the handsome face. Squidward's "dancing" has also become popular on YouTube, and videos will usually show him dancing to different songs or music.

The meme has been featured on Nickelodeon's social media accounts, and a figure of Handsome Squidward was released as part of the Masterpiece Memes toy line.

"Hello, I like money!"

This is a quote from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. When Perch Perkins is about to start an interview with Mr. Krabs, Mr. Krabs says "Hello, I like money." This has become a popular meme, and it is being used as scams, cashgrabs, and announcements that nobody asked for.

"Hi, how are ya?"

File:Hi how are ya.jpg

This is a quote from "Not Normal." After SpongeBob watches a video on how to be normal, he begins emulating the personality of the person featured in the video, Mr. Normal. A commonly said phrase by SpongeBob during his "normal" phase is, "Hi, how are ya?"

This has become popular among YouTube remixes and reactions used in Tumblr quotes.

"How tough are ya?"

File:No Weenies Allowed 028.jpg

This is a quote from "No Weenies Allowed." Reg asks the tough guy about how tough he really is. The tough guy says that he ate a bowl of nails without any milk.

"I don't need it"

This is a quote from "Tea at the Treedome." SpongeBob stares and wonders whether he needs water. This is one of the SpongeBob image macros, and is usually used to convey the struggle to resist something that is not needed and ultimately caving in.

Ight Imma Head Out

File:Ight imma head out.jpg

This is an edited scene from "The Smoking Peanut" where SpongeBob while, still holding the TV remote, is about to head out of his house. In the episode, SpongeBob is actually sitting down to watch TV.

This meme often is used to mock awkward situations, regarding leaving the room.

"I love you"

This is a quote from "Chocolate with Nuts." SpongeBob tells Patrick to flatter the next customer to make him feel better so he would buy their chocolate bars. When they arrive at the customer's house, Patrick says "I love you," and the customer immediately shuts the door.

This is a very popular fad on YouTube. It has been featured numerous times in Sparta remixes and memes such as "Can You Survive (number of minutes) of I Love You?"

Imagination

This is a repeated quote from "Idiot Box." This meme involves the photo of SpongeBob spreading his hands, forming a rainbow, saying "Ima-gin-ation!" to talk to Squidward about imagination. It happens throughout the episode.

This has become very popular on fads, memes, and YTPs and is often called "Imagination." The most popular image associated with it is SpongeBob saying "Nobody Cares" instead.

"Is mayonnaise an instrument?"

File:Is mayonaise an instrument.JPG
Is mayonnaise an instrument?

This is a quote from "Band Geeks." Patrick asks Squidward if mayonnaise is an instrument.

The scene has become a classic meme on the Internet, with Patrick saying: "Is __ an Instrument?" and Squidward responds, "No Patrick, __ is not an instrument," having the word "mayonnaise" replaced by another random word. This has become very popular in remixes and edits. Occasionally, "instrument" may be replaced with a different word to show any type of logical confusion in a given context.

"Leedle leedle leedle lee!"

File:Llmm35.jpeg

This is a repeated quote from "Shanghaied." When the Flying Dutchman tells SpongeBob and Patrick to howl along with him, so they could "set the seven seas ablaze with fear," instead of howling, Patrick just says "Leedle leedle leedle lee!" much to the Dutchman's annoyance.

The meme will show how long Patrick says "Leedle leedle leedle lee" for a certain amount of time.

Maximum Overdrive

This is a scene from "Krusty Krab Training Video." Plankton attempts to escape on the back of a Krabby Patty while saying, "Not when I shift into Maximum Overdrive!"

Moar Krabs

File:Moar Krabs.jpg

This is a scene from "Jellyfish Hunter." When Mr. Krabs keeps saying "More" to tell SpongeBob to collect more jellyfish, a monster-like image of Mr. Krabs briefly appears.

This is one of the most popular SpongeBob memes to date. The hideous image is widely known as Moar Krabs or Morbid Krabs, and has appeared in a large number of fads, edits, and other Internet videos. It has been seen on YouTube Poops many times. It sometimes has captions saying something like "MOAR."

Mocking SpongeBob

This is an image from "Little Yellow Book." It is revealed through SpongeBob's diary that when SpongeBob sees plaid, he clucks like a chicken. This leads Squidward and a fish to make this occur, while Mr. Krabs (who is wearing the plaid) tells SpongeBob that he doesn't "need to rub it in," thinking SpongeBob is mocking him, and leaves.

Despite the context, the meme pertains closer to Mr. Krabs' take on the subject; it features SpongeBob "mocking" a specified text (which is actually more related to the plot of "Mimic Madness" instead of "Little Yellow Book"), and is written in toggle case. The meme started to become popular in early 2017, and is usually associated with text written in uppercase and lowercase letters. It is considered one of the most popular SpongeBob memes of the present day. In the 2017 San Diego Comic Con, SpongeBob's voice actor, Tom Kenny said his favorite SpongeBob meme is "Mocking SpongeBob."[1]

Mr. Krabs wearing Pearl's shorts

File:Burst Your Bubble 030.png

This is a scene from "Burst Your Bubble." Mr. Krabs wears Pearl's shorts while washing his boat. It has been featured in video remixes.

This meme was recreated by the cast of the SpongeBob Broadway musical and featured on Nickelodeon's @SpongeBob Twitter account.

Mrs. Puff has had enough

File:Miss Puff Has Had Enough In a meme video based on the episode "Demolition Doofus," Mrs. Puff decides she has had enough of SpongeBob's antics. The video was animated with poorly-rendered CGI models by Pamtri. The video has almost 7 million views as of 2020, and frames of the CGI Mrs. Puff staring blankly are used very often as memes and YouTube video edits.

My Leg!

Main article: My leg!
File:Running Gag My Leg

This is a quote that is featured in various episodes as a running gag. It involves a fish, usually Incidental 1 (Fred), saying "My leg!" in any painful situation. This quote was prominent during the first two seasons, but then disappeared for seven years until it was heard again in "Krusty Krushers" and "Shuffleboarding," and referenced in "Squid Baby." It even made an appearance in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and since has been used on regular basis. There is also an episode dedicated to this gag.

This quote has spawned much popularity, as well as other quotes (such as "My eyes!" from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie) said by the same fish. In fact, this was the same fish that was featured in the "Deuueaugh!" fad, only with a different color.

"No! This is Patrick!"

This is a quote from "Big Pink Loser." When Patrick answers the phone each time, customers ask him "Is this the Krusty Krab?" he responds, "No, this is Patrick!"

It is a very popular Internet meme on YouTube, especially due to its huge similarity to the "This is Sparta!" meme from the film "300".

O-T

"Oh, Neptune" Mrs. Puff

This is a scene from "No Free Rides." When Mrs. Puff is worried about SpongeBob never passing, she mutters "Oh, Neptune" in her head while sweating nervously.

This meme became very popular, especially to express worry and exasperation among other characters. Nickelodeon featured it on their social media accounts in a "Which meme are you?" post.

"Okay, get in."

File:Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost 084.png

This is a quote from "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost." Patrick and SpongeBob think Squidward is a vengeful ghost after reading The Tale of the Flying Dutchman, and they plan for a ceremony to "put him to rest." At one point of the said "ceremony", Squidward was going to check if the chores are done. He opens the door, and see SpongeBob and Patrick with a coffin, and SpongeBob says, "Okay, get in."

This meme is usually used to mock unpopular points or opinions, with the poster implying that the said point or opinion should stop existing.

Primitive Sponge

This is a character from "SB-129." When Primitive Sponge and Primitive Starfish are electrocuting themselves with a jellyfish, Squidward (who time traveled) asked them what they were doing, with both Primitive Sponge and Starfish making surprised face.

Around May 2016, Primitive Sponge with a surprised face has become an internet meme, with his photo photoshopped into multiple scenarios (an example being "When your friend is about to pick you up and can't find your wallet," followed by a photo of Primitive Sponge pasted into a room background). He is known as "SpongeGar" in these memes, although that is a completely different character who looks similar to Primitive Sponge.

"Push It Somewhere Else" Patrick

File:Pisepatrick.jpg

This is a scene from "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm." When the citizens are worried about the giant worm, they talk about a number of ways to protect themselves. Patrick says, "We should take Bikini Bottom and push it somewhere else!"

The meme is quite versatile, but everyone follows the same model; on the top it says, "We should x," and on the bottom it says, "and y." The following pictures are examples of this meme, although one of them works differently from the normal model. Another example of this meme is in Patrick Star for President 2012. "We should take Mexico and push it somewhere else!"

"Put the money in the bag!"

"Doing Time": SpongeBob and Patrick try to get in jail to help Mrs. Puff to break out. They decide the best way to get in jail is to rob a bank. They put socks over their heads and walk around blindly in the bank, where SpongeBob yells "Alright. Put the money...In the bag! PUT IT IN!" This particular moment has become an internet meme and is commonly featured in YouTube remixes.

Red Mist Squidward

Red Mist Squidward is a character who appears in "SpongeBob in RandomLand." He is based on a fan-made SpongeBob story called "Red Mist." In memes, Red Mist Squidward is shown staring at the viewer with a caption reading "Don't ask who Joe is" (or a variation).

This is a scene from "Nature Pants." When SpongeBob tries to escape Patrick in Jellyfish Fields, Patrick sneaks up on SpongeBob by hanging from under a coral arch. He makes a maniacal expression, which is interpreted as though he is in the middle of an evil chuckle. The meme itself is a zoom in on Patrick's face.

This meme is sometimes referred to as "Evil Patrick" or "Angry Patrick." It has been in widespread use since February 2018. In late 2018, an official pin of the meme was released by Nickelodeon, using the name Savage Patrick. In 2019, the Nickelodeon Twitter account featured Savage Patrick on a post titled "Which SpongeBob Meme Are You?"[citation needed]

Sleeping Squidward

This is a scene from "Home Sweet Pineapple." SpongeBob asks Squidward if he can sleep in his bed after getting crushed by Patrick and his rock several times. Squidward exhaustedly accepts and is close to falling asleep when he suddenly opens his eyes and realizes what he did, then he subsequently kicks SpongeBob out of his house. It is frequently used as a reaction image to convey feelings of shock, such as forgetting to do an assigned task. It is also a meme template in which Squidward's eyes closed demonstrate a lack of interest towards something, whereas his eyes open demonstrate a large amount of interest.

"SpongeBob betrayed us!"

A still during this sequence with the closed-caption "(spoons rattling)" below (Squidward was playing the spoons during this, hence the caption) has recently become popular online.

Squidward subsequently packs up his lounge chair and boredly walks off back to his house.

The meme, featuring only the unpacking and packing up of the lounge chair, implies that Squidward is excited for or is no longer excited for an unknown unseen occurrence. The meme format consists of a subject (portrayed by Squidward) confronting Instance A (portrayed by his willingness to unpack his lounge chair) and Instance B (portrayed by his unwillingness to enjoy resting on his lounge chair) in two different cells.

Surprised/Starstruck Patrick

This is a scene from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. When SpongeBob and Patrick lose the Patty Wagon, they make surprised faces with their mouths wide open. Patrick's surprised face (known as "Surprised Patrick" or "Starstruck Patrick") has become popular as a reaction image. It has also been edited into many scenes from media that are seen as shocking.

Nickelodeon used the meme in promotions for the Kids' Choice Awards in 2015 and 2016. They officially referred to the meme as "Star-Struck Patrick." In the episode "Scavenger Pants," the meme was acknowledged, and Patrick's surprised face returned.

This is a repeated quote from "Krusty Love." SpongeBob, who is suffering a meltdown after buying so many items for Mrs. Puff, finally lashes out at Mr. Krabs, telling him "And then you'll say: 'We're not talking about THIS, or THIS, we're talking about thisssss!'"

When you see a repost

File:Original.jpg

This is a scene from "Fools in April." When You See a Repost refers to a reaction image macro of a high-quality image of the character Tom before he asks "What did you do to my drink?" (another internet meme). Many of the jokes and variations of the meme feature the image of Tom with the phrasal template "when you see a repost but." The meme is based on the idea of someone reposting a meme in better image quality than the original.
