SpongeBob Squarepants recently celebrated its twenty-third year of animated Bikini Bottom success. It's no secret that the internet loves SpongeBob memes for user reactions, mood demonstrations, and to tell their story.
Many of the characters from SpongeBob SquarePants represent the SpongeBob meme culture. Including Squidward, Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and his best friend, Patrick Star.
So why is there a SpongeBob meme for everything? In an interview with New York Magazine, SpongeBob animator and former executive producer Paul Tibbitt expressed his ideas on why SpongeBob memes are our Internet language.
He suggests, “SpongeBob is like a canvas for many different expressions and emotions and what people go through.” SpongeBob voice actor Tom Kenny elaborates, “There are all kinds of crazy poses and faces and weird extreme expressions of the characters.” That is certainly viable.
While SpongeBob is an animated kid's show (TV-Y), it has relatable adult situations such as annoying neighbors, horrible bosses, and underappreciated jobs. However, someone doesn't even have to have seen the show to be able to meme properly.
So here are the funniest SpongeBob memes to express every mood and humorously outline relatable situations.
